The Rupture Survival and Response Strategy - StarRupture Guide

What is The Rupture?

The Rupture is Arcadia-7's unique catastrophic phenomenon and the game's most core and dangerous mechanic.

Origin of The Rupture

According to the game lore, Arcadia-7 is located at an unstable spacetime node. Periodically, spacetime rifts briefly open, releasing:

• 🌪️ Extreme weather phenomena
• ⚡ Intense energy pulses
• 👾 Hostile creatures from other dimensions
• ☢️ Reality distortion effects

[!DANGER] Without proper protection during The Rupture, both your base and character will suffer severe damage!

Warning Signs

Before The Rupture arrives, there will be warning signals:

5 Minutes Before:

• 🔴 Sky begins to darken
• 📻 Communication interference
• 🌡️ Abnormal temperature fluctuations

2 Minutes Before:

• 🌋 Ground tremors
• ⚠️ System alerts
• 🔊 Distant hissing sounds

30 Seconds Before:

• 🌪️ Sky turns blood red
• ⚡ Frequent lightning
• 🚨 Emergency alarms

[!TIP] Building an automatic alert system lets you receive Rupture warnings even when away from base.

Survival Strategies and Tips

Pre-Rupture Preparation (5 Min Countdown)

Checklist:

• ☑️ Confirm shield energy is full
• ☑️ Replenish tower ammunition
• ☑️ Check power supply stability

3. Manually support defense if necessary
4. Record enemy types and attack routes

Aggressive Strategy - Active Defense:

• Wear heavy protective gear
• Carry heavy weapons
• Fight alongside defense
• Prioritize eliminating elite units

[!TIP] Active defense is risky but can protect more facilities and gain more loot. Recommended for mid-late game.

Post-Rupture Processing

Assessment and Repair:

1. Check shield and defense facility damage
2. Repair damaged structures
3. Replenish ammunition and energy
4. Collect enemy drops
