Daily Mission Details & General Strategies
Mission Venues	NPC Transmissions	Introduction to different Mission Types

The mission debriefing will only come at the fastest, 15 minutes after the mission reset time.

There are a total of 10 ranks (excluding Rookie ). Each rank has 3 missions of varying difficulty. The first two missions will almost always be easier than the 3rd mission.

Your rank updates to the higher rank once you clear all 3 missions in your current rank, which can be confusing due to the mismatch between mission leaderboards and your reflected rank elsewhere.

Progress made in Community missions and VIP missions do NOT affect rank promotion or demotion.

The order of ranks, from lowest to highest is shown in the table below. Click on the icon of the rank below to be redirected straight to the daily mission cycle for that rank.

• Daily leaderboards are split for ranks for bronze and silver ranks .
  • You can only place on any one of the many leaderboards.
  • According to the devs, there are 5 separate leaderboards for each silver rank .
• For gold ranks and Marshal rank, there is only one leaderboard.
• Daily missions reset at exactly 12am GMT+0 / UTC+0 everyday.
  • It is possible to start a mission before the mission resets, and finish that run. This final run will still give you credits and the progress will be updated if it is better than any previous run (or if you have never attempted this mission).
  • After you return from the mission however, the mission reset is triggered immediately.
• The credit reward per wave cleared is a flat ¢10, no matter the rank.
  • You will thus earn a maximum of ¢200 per daily mission for ranks Ace and above.
  • For Cadet , Ensign & Sergeant , the lowest and middle tier daily missions will earn you a maximum of ¢160 since there are only 4 Acts, while the highest tier daily mission will earn you a maximum of ¢200 as there are 5 Acts.

Marshal rank specialist daily missions can often be excruciatingly difficult.

• It may serve you better to fully clear 2 daily missions in a any rank except Marshal , and get to 5-4 in a 3rd daily mission to give you a good credit earning of ¢590 per day to maximize credit earnings.
• As an early player, if profit maximizing is the priority, it is beneficial to stay at the Captain rank so that you can always get to 5-4 in a 3rd daily mission, rather than risking not being able to reach 5-4 in a specialist mission .
  • However, staying in a lower rank will not allow you as a player to improve your skills.
• As such, it is recommended that you promote to Colonel and above once you have a maxed out ship for each Aura and Zen .
  • Not having a ship that has Goliath Missile , Focus Lance or Clover ATS maxed out is fine since there are no specialist missions that feature exclusively these Auras or Zens .
• You can then promote to Marshal rank once you can attempt all group specialist missions comfortably.

The daily missions follow a set cycle, which includes different types of missions.

• You might want to know what you are coming up against on some days, as some mission types are generally more difficult than others.
• This is to prepare to buy some ships, especially if you are a starting player.

Mission Venues

As you progress through the ranks, you will start exploring new venues.

• Starting from bronze ranks (Cadet , Ensign & Sergeant ), you only have access to the following mission venues:
  • Zhey Auna
    
  • Gau Prime
    
  • Arcology CQ-6
    
  • Ceres Major
    
• When you reach the silver ranks (Ace , Lieutenant & Captain ), you will also visit Blight, Sector[3,84].
  
• When you reach the gold ranks (Colonel, Major & Commander ), you will also visit Dovacoon Forge.
  
• Finally, when you reach Marshal rank, you will also visit Prometheus Array, completing your journey between all worlds in Phoenix 2.

Trivia 1: In a screenshot of Phoenix 2, that was on one of the dev's Twitter / X before the game was officially released which you can see here, it was apparent that Gau Prime was called Sector YY. However, the devs have clarified that these names that you see in the placeholder image were never used in development, so the image was just a placeholder with placeholder names.

Trivia 2: Here's a background of a venue in a pre-alpha version of Phoenix 2 that was never released:

NPC Transmissions

Here are the one-off transmissions given by Operator Mian:

You will be reporting to different NPCs as you progress from bronze to silver to gold ranks. These NPCs give you a different transmission depending on certain conditions.

• In the table below, assume that the Marshal Liss in gold ranks and the Marshal Liss in Marshal rank are different NPCs.
  • So treat it like the Marshal Liss in gold ranks can transfer you to the Marshal Liss in Marshal rank, and vice versa.

Below shows the list of possible transmissions you can receive from the different NPCs:

	Captain Merrick	Commander Khier	Marshal Liss
NPC appears in:	Bronze ranks	Silver ranks	Gold ranks	Marshal rank

You're demoted so you can fly these easier missions.	A minor setback, I am sure. On a positive note, today's missions should be more manageable.	-
	I am demoting you so you can pick an easier mission. Give it your best shot.	Pay attention to the Mission Intel, [Rank]. Fly a ship that matches the Damage Type.	There are no shortcuts to victory. Only skill and hard work.
	Try a different ship if it's not working out. Explore what works for you at this lower rank.	Don't let any Invader got away. Use your Aura and Zen better and they won't.	Nice try, but not good enough. We'll continue one rank lower.

Trivia: Here's a fun transmission that was custom made by the dev as a cheeky response to a player on the Discord who was unable to clear a Marshal S2 mission. Note that this transmission will never occur.

Introduction to different Mission Types

Note that these mission types are defined by this guide and not used in-game.

The table below shows the list of all possible Invader weaponries that can appear in all 14 mission types.

Mission Type	General						Pellet MIRV	Laser MIRV		Doomsday Weapons				Number of possible Invader weaponries in Mission Type
	Pellet	Dart	Shuriken	Boomerang	Laser					Doomsday Laser	Doomsday Bomb	Doomsday Super MIRV
General - No Pellets		✓	✓	✓	✓		Does not appear in General-type missions			✓	✓			6
General - No Rangs	✓	✓	✓		✓					✓	✓			6
General - No Lasers	✓	✓	✓	✓										4
Dart/Boomerang/Pellet	✓	✓		✓							✓			4
Shuriken/Boomerang/MIRV	✓		✓	✓			✓				✓			5
Shuriken/MIRV(A)	✓		✓				✓				✓	✓		5
Shuriken/MIRV(B)	✓		✓				✓							3
Dart/MIRV	✓	✓					✓					✓		4
Dart/Boomerang/Laser		✓		✓	✓					✓				4
Dart/Pellet/Laser	✓	✓			✓					✓	✓			5
Laser/Shuriken/Pellet	✓		✓		✓			✓			✓			5
Laser/Shuriken	(·)		✓		✓		(·)	✓			✓	✓		7
Laser/Pellet	✓				✓			✓		✓				4
Lasers Only					✓			✓		✓				3
Number of mission types Invader weaponry appears	11	7	8	5	8		5	4		6	8	3

(·) While pellets and MIRVs appear in Laser/Shuriken missions, they only appear because of the presence of Doomsday Super MIRVs . Only Laser MIRV turrets are present, pellet MIRV turrets do NOT appear.

Using the table above, there are some rules that this guide has defined when it comes to mission type naming:

• If the mission is a General-type mission, expect pellets, darts, shurikens, boomerangs & lasers in roughly equal proportions.
  
  • MIRVs or Laser MIRVs do NOT appear in General-type missions.
  • Note that there is no TRUE General-type mission, as all 3 General-type missions have one Invader weaponry missing from the above list of 5 Invader weaponries, indicated in name.
• Otherwise, the Invader weaponries that are part of the mission type's name are the most dominant Invader weaponries you’ll face.
  • If Laser is the first Invader weaponry of the mission type name, then Laser MIRVs are also present.
  • If MIRV is one of the Invader weaponries in the mission type naming, pellets are also present (since MIRVs release pellets upon triggered).
• Caged MIRVs do NOT affect the mission type. Thus, they are not important in mission type naming.
  • Instead, an asterisk (*) will be appended to the mission type to indicate the presence of Caged MIRVs .

The Mission Intel detailed in this guide assumes the worst case scenario (excluding Condors and Rocs , as their appearance do not affect the mission type and have no pattern). In the actual missions, it is expected that some Invader weaponry may not show up on the mission intel. Here are the cases to take note of:

• Doomsday weapons may not always appear. This applies to all ranks, including Marshal .
  • It is rare to have BOTH Doomsday Lasers and Doomsday Bombs in one mission.
  • In other ranks except Marshal , it is much rarer for Doomsday Super MIRVs to appear.
  • In Silver ranks, it is much rarer for Doomsday Lasers or Doomsday Bombs to appear.
• MIRVs may not always appear in bronze or silver ranks, even though the mission type may be a Dart/MIRV or Shuriken/Boomerang/MIRV mission.
  • MIRVs also may not always appear in bronze ranks, even though the mission type may be Shuriken/MIRV mission.
• Lasers may not always appear in bronze ranks.
• There are extremely rare cases where Laser MIRVs do not appear in Laser/Pellet missions where they are supposed to appear.

Based on the mission intel and mission venue, you can determine the mission types mentioned in this guide. This allows you to pick the most appropriate ship from the get-go. Just follow the flowchart shown below. (Note that I don't really bother to show for bronze ranks because it matters too little in those ranks.)

Here are the steps to follow to determine the mission type. 80-90% of the time, you should be able to determine the mission type without even playing the mission.

1. Look out for Laser MIRVs .
   • The presence of Laser MIRVs indicate a laser heavy mission, which greatly reduces the mission types to Group 1: [Lasers Only, Laser/Pellet & Laser/Shuriken (or Laser/Shuriken/Pellet, only in Marshal ) ].
     • The presence of Doomsday Super MIRVs in the mission intel confirms the mission type of Laser/Shuriken. √ Done! √
     • The presence of Doomsday Bombs in the mission intel confirms the mission type of Laser/Shuriken or Laser/Shuriken/Pellet (In the case of Marshal rank). For all ranks except Marshal rank, this is enough to confirm that the mission type is Laser/Shuriken.
     • The presence of Doomsday Lasers narrows it down to Lasers Only or Laser/Pellet.
     • Skip to Step 4.
2. If there are no Laser MIRVs, look out for Lasers in the mission.
   • The presence of lasers cuts down the mission types to either Group 2: [Dart/Boomerang/Laser & General - No Pellets] or Group 3: [General - No Rangs & Dart/Pellet/Laser].
   • The lack of lasers cuts down the mission types to either Group 4: [Dart/Boomerang/Pellet, General - No Lasers & Shuriken/Boomerang/MIRV] or Group 5: [Shuriken/MIRV(A), Shuriken/MIRV(B) & Dart/MIRV], at least for silver ranks and above.
3. Look out for Boomerangs . This helps you to choose between Group 2 & 3, or between Group 4 & 5.
   • If there are boomerangs, go to either Group 2 or 4. If there are no boomerangs, go to Group 3 or 5.
   • If Group 2 is confirmed, look for Doomsday Bombs . If there are, then the mission type is confirmed to be General - No Pellets. √ Done! √
   • If Group 4 is confirmed, look for MIRVs . If there are, then the mission type is confirmed to be Shuriken/Boomerang/MIRV. √ Done! √
     • If not, look for Doomsday Bombs . If there are, then the mission type is confirmed to be Dart/Boomerang/Pellet. √ Done! √
   • If Group 5 is confirmed, look for Doomsday Bombs . If there are, then the mission type is confirmed to be Shuriken/MIRV(A). √ Done! √
     • If not, look for Doomsday Super MIRVs . If there are, then the mission type is either Shuriken/MIRV(A) or Dart/MIRV.
4. Look at the mission venue AND the Invader affinity. This is often the deciding factor between which 1 of the 2 mission types is it in the Group. Refer to the blue sticky notes in the flowchart above for the venues and the associated Invader affinities (if required) that each of the mission types can appear on. Each mission venue can only have 2 affinities of Invaders, as listed:
   • Zhey Auna: Unprotected & Armored Invaders
   • Gau Prime: Armored (Only for bronze ranks) & Shielded Invaders
   • Arcology CQ-6: Armored & Shielded Invaders
   • Ceres Major: Armored & Shielded Invaders
   • Blight, Sector[3,84]: Unprotected & Armored Invaders
   • Dovacoon Forge: Unprotected & Armored Invaders
   • Prometheus Array: Unprotected & Shielded Invaders
5. If the above 4 steps still didn't work to determine the mission type, at the very least, you would have determined the Group. Unfortunately, at this point, the only thing that you can do is to play the mission to distinguish between 2 mission types in a Group. The small yellow sticky notes in the flowchart shows you what to look for each of the Groups.
   1. Look out for Sinister Invaders. These Invaders have camouflage patterns on their body.
      • You can still opt to suicide before killing any Invader, if you decide to change ship. Or if you can simply decide to just not attempt the mission entirely since you are not considered to have attempted the mission if you did not kill a single Invader at wave 1-1.
   2. If not, look for the presence of shurikens (more common deciding factor) or darts (less common deciding factor).
      
      • While possible to find out this at wave 1-1 (and change ship/suicide), you might have to play through quite some way into the mission to find out for the presence of shurikens or darts.
      • Looking out for shurikens is a definitive way to determine the mission type within each Group, if you do not want to remember so much.
        • In lower ranks, checking for shurikens can take very long since some mission types have shurikens appear only in much later Acts.
      • In Marshal rank only, pellets are the deciding factor between Laser/Shuriken and Laser/Shuriken/Pellet.

Here are the available mission tiers (from lowest to highest) and the respective descriptions for each rank:

Cadet	D-Tier Mission: Just shoot 'em up!	C-Tier Mission: Use ship abilities to dispatch this manageable threat.	B-Tier Mission: Requires steady ship control and situational awareness.
Ensign				A-Tier Mission: Invaders are more threatening and deploy more diverse turrets.
Sergeant					S-Tier Mission: Sustained enemy pressure requires effective use of ship abilities.
Ace	D-Tier Mission: A seemingly familiar challenge with hidden complexities.	C-Tier Mission: Take advantage of invader weaknesses as they deploy more advanced turrets.	B-Tier Mission: Unpredictable enemy tactics require capable piloting and skillful ability use.
Lieutenant				A-Tier Mission: An intense encounter that demands the right ship, the right pilot, and nerves of steel.
Captain					S-Tier Mission: A crushing challenge for those who can adapt and excel.
		/	/	/	/
Colonel	D-Tier Mission: A challenging confrontation with steady waves of invaders.	C-Tier Mission: Escalating enemy tactics demand both experimentation and ship mastery.	B-Tier Mission: A relentless onslaught that requires experimentation with the right ship and loadout.
Major				A-Tier Mission: Complex and surprising invader attack formations require quick reflexes.
Commander					S-Tier Mission: True bullet hell that will test every limit.

		/	/
Marshal	SS-Tier Mission: A near-impossible encounter where invaders wield exotic weaponry.	SSS-Tier Mission: An overwhelming force of invaders—only perfect execution will suffice.	SSSS-Tier Mission: Those who triumph will be remembered in songs sung across the known galaxy for generations to come.

Trivia: If you have attempted missions which were of the pre-v5.0 era, which were missions that were of mission number #1301 and below, you will notice that the mission tier descriptions were different. This is because the missions in the pre-v5.0 were not based on ranks. Instead, there were only D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS & SSSS leagues back then, which is today's definition of mission tiers. Here are the mission tier descriptions of the leagues if you accessed the mission logs of these ancient missions.

D-Tier: An entry-level mission, perfect for getting a feel for your ship.	C-Tier: Rookie-friendly missions designed to teach you the essentials of ship handling and survival.	B-Tier: Intermediate missions. Build confidence and refine your maneuvering skills.	A-Tier: Advanced missions for seasoned pilots. Hone your combat reflexes and ship control.
S-Tier: Tough missions that require mastery of your ship, skillful dodging, and ability use.	SS-Tier: This high-intensity mission demands expert control and flawless execution under relentless pressure.	SSS-Tier: A brutal challenge that pushes you to your limits. Precision and mastery separate the best from the rest.	SSSS-Tier: Only the most elite survive. Mastery of ship abilities and split-second maneuvering are key.

Daily Mission Cycle for Bronze Ranks

Note that for the Mission Intel, this table shows the worst possible scenario, meaning if all Invader weaponry for that mission type appears. Not all the Invader weaponry that is possible for that mission type may appear on a certain daily mission. Condors are excluded since it does not affect the mission type. (Rocs do NOT appear in bronze ranks.)

To determine the sequence number to look at, simply look at the last digit of the mission number (E.g. Mission #3142, so the sequence number is 2).

Sequence No	Leftmost Mission Venue for Bronze Ranks	Leftmost Mission Type + Intel for Bronze Ranks	Middle Mission Venue for Bronze Ranks	Middle Mission Type + Intel for Bronze Ranks	Rightmost Mission Venue for Bronze Ranks	Rightmost Mission Type + Intel for Bronze Ranks
0.	Zhey Auna	Dart/Pellet	Gau Prime	Shuriken/MIRV(B)	Zhey Auna	Laser/Shuriken
1.		Shuriken/Pellet	Arcology CQ-6	Dart/Pellet	Gau Prime	Shuriken/MIRV(B)
2.		Dart/Pellet	Arcology CQ-6	General - No Rangs	Zhey Auna	Shuriken/MIRV(B)
3.		Shuriken/Pellet	Gau Prime	Shuriken/MIRV(B)	Arcology CQ-6	Dart/Pellet/Laser
4.		Shuriken/MIRV(B)	Arcology CQ-6	Dart/Pellet/Laser	Ceres Major	General - No Rangs
5.		Shuriken/MIRV(B)	Gau Prime	General - No Rangs	Arcology CQ-6	Laser/Shuriken
6.		Dart/Pellet	Arcology CQ-6	Dart/Pellet/Laser	Gau Prime	General - No Rangs
7.		Shuriken/MIRV(B)	Gau Prime	General - No Rangs	Arcology CQ-6	General - No Rangs
8.		Dart/Pellet	Arcology CQ-6	Dart/Pellet/Laser	Zhey Auna	Shuriken/MIRV(B)
9.		Shuriken/MIRV(B)	Arcology CQ-6	Dart/Pellet	Ceres Major	Laser/Shuriken

The affinity / mission type distribution table is as shown below in order to help you find the most suitable ship to fully upgrade (to 6-6-6) next. The Pellet/Shuriken mission is a substitute of the Boomerang/Shuriken at Silver ranks and above, due to the absence of boomerangs at Bronze ranks. This unique mission type to Bronze ranks literally only features pellets and shurikens, nothing else.

Daily Mission Cycle for Ace Rank

Note that for the Mission Intel, this table shows the worst possible scenario, meaning if all Invader weaponry for that mission type appears. Not all the Invader weaponry that is possible for that mission type may appear on a certain daily mission. Condors and Rocs are excluded since it does not affect the mission type.

To determine the sequence number to look at, simply look at the last digit of the mission number (E.g. Mission #3142, so the sequence number is 2).

*Note that the cycle for the silver ranks may randomly deviate for one mission of the cycle on random cycles. For example, on Sequence 7, the A mission was somehow a Dart/Pellet/Laser instead of a Laser/Pellet mission for one mission in about 4 cycles.

Daily Mission Cycle for Marshal Rank

Note that for the Mission Intel, this table shows the worst possible scenario, meaning if all Invader weaponry for that mission type appears. Not all the Invader weaponry that is possible for that mission type may appear on a certain daily mission. Condors and Rocs are excluded since it does not affect the mission type.

Specialist missions are NOT included in this table as the specialist mission cycle is longer than the daily mission cycle. Instead, refer to Appendix B4 for the specialist mission cycle for Marshal.

To determine the sequence number to look at, take the last 2 digits of the Mission Number. Then divide it by 20, and take the remainder as the answer. [Mathematically, this means (Mission Number) % 20, where the % symbol means modulo.]

• For example, if the Mission Number is #3957, the sequence number is 17. (57 is the last 2 digits of the Mission Number. Then, 57 ÷ 20 = 2 with a remainder of 17.)
