Recruitment System and Operators Pool

Players can access the Recruitment system in the game simply by accessing the Recruit Tab in the Main Menu of the game. Once accessed, players will be greeted with a slot UI to select and begin recruiting operators through spending the currencies.

At the start of the game, only up to 2 recruitment slots will be available for players to select and players can only recruit up to 2 operators at the time. Advancing further in the game and upgrading the base’ HR Office Room will increase the amount of slots you can use and the amount of Operators you can recruit at the same time.

 

The operator pool consists of all of the 3 and 4*s of the game, in addition to many 5*s and 6*s and is updated regularly after each major update patch. Players can access the details tab within the recruitment tab in order to see what operators are available within the recruitment system. 

Special 1 and 2*s operators are also available exclusively in the system, so if you want to obtain them, the recruitment system is your only option.

Tags System

Once entering a Recruitment Slot, players will be treated with the Tag System interface, with 5 tags being available for each recruitment, some combination of which will yield special operators to be guaranteed to appear if the tag's requirements are fulfilled.

There’s also a timer slider at the top of the tab, the higher the timer and the time spent for recruitment, the higher the possibility of a 4* or 5* characters that the players might be able to get. Players should always set this timer to 9 hours no matter what to guarantee the best result of the recruitment.

Within these tags, there exist 2 special tags that will occasionally show up with a golden border around them, these tags are the Senior Operator Tag and the Top Operator Tag. The Senior Operator Tag will guaranteed a 5* Operator for the players once it is resolved and the Top Operator Tag will guaranteed a 6* Operator once it is resolved.

Once players have unlocked the HR Office Room in the Base, players will be able to refresh the tags up to 3 times before selecting the tags and initiating the Recruitment.

Recruitment Currencies

Each Recruitment costs a certain amount of LMDs proportional to the Recruitment time. In addition, players will need to spend special recruitment vouchers in advance to initiate the Recruitment process, with each Recruitment costing 1 Recruitment Voucher each. Players can easily obtain these Recruitment Vouchers from Daily, Weekly Missions and Special Shops.

Another essential Currencies players can also spend are the Expedited Plans, these Plans will make it so that players will be able to complete the Recruitment instantly and not having to wait the entire Recruitment duration. However, this currency is significantly harder to obtain and is of limited quantity, so players should use them sparingly and only use them for emergency purposes.
