Infinity missions

From PSP2i Wiki

Infinity Missions are a massive pain in the ass disguised as a gameplay feature created by none other than SEGA.

Infinity Missions Overview

Infinity Missions are procedurally generated missions with player customizable Area, Blocks, Boss, Enemies and Enemies Levels. Players are also able to add a variety of Special Effects to the Infinity Mission, to further customize the mission for their own needs. A combination of all these allows the players to create a massive amount of unique missions (not an infinite amount of missions, but pretty close).

Each Infinity Mission has several attributes:

  • Code Level: The level of the infinity mission, which can be seen on the mission name. The Code Level is determined by the bonus enemy levels of the mission, and strength of the enemies in the mission, and the amount of special effects attached. The Code Level itself does not provide any gameplay benefits or any functions, and is only used to determine the amount of Synthesis points needed to synthesis the mission with other missions.
  • Boss: The Boss Creature that will appear in the mission. The mission name changes based on the Boss Creature involved. There are a total of 40 possible bosses that can appear in Infinity Missions.
  • Enemy Table 1, 2: The enemies that will spawn in the mission. There are a total of 7 different tables, and 2 different tables of enemies are present in each mission.
  • Enemy Level: The bonus levels the enemies receive, ranging from +1 to +49.
  • Blocks: An Infinity Mission can have 2 or 3 total blocks. The layout of the blocks are chosen randomly from a set of possible layouts, but the amount of enemies in one stays the same.
  • Area: The environment the mission takes place in (technically they are all in a VR simulator, but who cares). There are a total of 10 possible areas.
  • Special Effects: The special effects on the mission. There are a total of 10 different effects, each with 3 different levels, and a total of 3 different effects can be added to an Infinity Mission.
  • Synthesis Points: The points that needs to be consumed to Synthesis an Infinity Mission. The amount accumlated and the amount needed for a Synthesis are both shown.

Infinity Missions are primarily used to spawn large groups of relatively uncommon enemies, such as Nanodragons, which allows the player to pick up their drops in a much easier fashion (compared to running Flaming Horns a dozen more times for the same number of spawns). It also allows the players to make incredibly difficult missions that spawns large groups of difficult enemies, such as Nanodragons, and attach ATK/TEC multipliers onto them for even more pain.
