In the case above, Eyjafjalla has 2 Operator Records.  At this time, a limited set of Operators are getting 1 or 2 records.

Each Operator Record is unlocked at a specific Promotion stage, Operator Level, and Trust level of the featured Operator. The image below shows that Rope’s Operator Record is unlocked at Promotion stage E2 Operator Level 1, and that 50% Trust is required.

Paradox Simulation

ParadoxSimulationHighlight-2

Paradox Simulations are combat stages that require you to choose a skill (stages typically recommend a specific skill), and then do combat with that Operator/Skill along with a provided Squad.  The stages seem to be designed around use of the recommended skill, so taking it is advised.

Paradox Simulation stages are unlocked at specified Promotion Stages and Operator Levels of the featured Operator.

Some notes on the combat stages:

  • Every stage comes with a fixed Squad.
  • Other than the feature Operator (whose Paradox Sim it is), the remainder of the Squad has preset levels.
  • The feature Operator uses the current state of your personal Operator: Promotion level, Operator level, Skill levels, Trust, etc.
  • You don’t get to see the preset Squad until the stage starts.
  • First Clear reward is 200 Orundum
  • After successful completion, you can attempt again with a different Skill equipped, but nothing changes with the preset squad, and there are no rewards for additional clears.
  • All attempts cost 0 Sanity.
