VIP Missions

VIP Missions

VIP Mission Details

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

VIP missions are only available to those who have the Phoenix 2 VIP active.

• Unlike normal daily missions , VIP missions differ by rank categories:
  

  Bronze	Silver	Gold	Platinum
  Cadet Ensign Sergeant	Ace Lieutenant Captain	Colonel Major Commander	Marshal

• This means that daily, all bronze ranks get the same VIP mission, all silver ranks get the same VIP mission and all gold ranks get the same VIP mission.
  • Platinum gets a different mission since there is only Marshal in Platinum.
• VIP missions allow you to pilot only the assigned apex for the day.
  • It does not matter if you do not own the apex , or even the ship itself. You will be allowed to pilot this apex on the VIP mission for the day at no cost.
  • The apex you are allowed for the day follows a 200 day cycle detailed below. (Please be patient as the cycle is being built up.)
    • The apex provided for the day is the same for all of Bronze , Silver , Gold and Platinum VIP missions.
• Like normal daily missions , VIP missions reset at exactly 12am GMT+0 / UTC+0 everyday.
• The credit reward per wave cleared is a flat ¢10, no matter the category.
  • The VIP mission is always 5 Acts long, even for Bronze VIP missions .
  • Thus, you will earn a maximum of ¢200 per VIP mission.
• There is only one leaderboard for each of Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
  • Scoring #1 in a Platinum VIP mission after reset grants you a special (VIP) Best of the Best badge.
• Progress made in VIP missions do NOT affect rank promotion or demotion, unlike normal daily missions .
• Since you have a fully upgraded ship with apex effects, consult the Advanced Tier List to find strategies for the apex that you are using for the day.

Here are the difficulties of the different categories of VIP missions, according to the dev:

• Platinum VIP missions ≈ Between daily S3 and daily S4 mission of Marshal rank.
• Gold VIP missions ≈ Major rank.
• Silver VIP missions ≈ Lieutenant rank.
• Bronze VIP missions ≈ Ensign rank.

Here are the mission tier descriptions for each category:

Bronze VIP Mission	Silver VIP Mission	Gold VIP Mission	Platinum VIP Mission
Bronze-Tier VIP Mission: Use the provided Apex form to complete this engaging mission.	Silver-Tier VIP Mission: A demanding mission well suited for the selected Apex form.	Gold-Tier VIP Mission: A challenging mission where mastery of the provided Apex form is key to victory.	Platinum-Tier VIP Mission: Only perfection will see you through this true bullet hell.

Mission Suitability

One of the highlight features of VIP missions is to try out apexes before you buy them.

• This guide tells you how far apart are the VIP missions of the 2 apexes of a ship, so you may strategize on when to get the Phoenix 2 VIP .
  • This guide respects the order of apexes Phoenix 2 places them for each ship. As such, if the gap is positive, the VIP mission for the ship's first apex comes BEFORE its second apex. If the gap is negative, the VIP mission for the ship's first apex comes AFTER its second apex.
  • The lower absolute value will be given. Given that the VIP mission cycle is obviously, a cycle, it is always possible to derive another value using (Current value ± 200) % 200.
    • For example, if the gap is −28 (think of this as taking 28 steps backwards on an oval track), it is also possible to express the gap as +172 (taking 172 steps forward on the oval track), but −28 will be used instead.
    • Both addition and subtraction have the same start and end points.
    • Since the lower absolute value is taken, the maximum absolute value between 2 apexes of a ship is 100.
      • Thus, it is guaranteed that the VIP missions of the 2 apexes are at most 4 VIP periods apart.
      • Refer to the VIP Mission Gap Summary below.
• The mission type assigned to the apex may not always allow the effects of the apex to shine.
• As such, this guide also tries to give you a rating of how well the mission is suited so you may choose to get the Phoenix 2 VIP at the right time to try out certain apexes .
• The rating given is split into 5 tiers, which are defined as follows:
  • X Tier: The VIP mission is an excellent portrayal of the effects of the apex .
  • S Tier: The VIP mission is a great portrayal of the effects of the apex .
  • A Tier: The VIP mission is a better than average portrayal of the effects of the apex .
  • B Tier: The VIP mission is fine, but doesn't allow the effects of the apex to be felt much. Alternatively, the apex effects just isn't that strong to be portrayed in any manner anyway.
  • C Tier: The VIP mission is NOT suitable for the apex at all.
• A brief justification of the rating is also given.

Apex	Sequence No	Gap (Days)	Mission Type	Mission Suitability
Shinova Alpha	090	+54	Dart/Pellet/Laser	C	An insignificant apex with small chance of being able to use better Bullet EMP coverage to possibly reset lasers.
Shinova Delta	144		General (−Lasers)	S	A good apex on a Bullets Only mission type which is perfect for Shinova.
NC-150 Gamma	037	−78	Dart/MIRV	A	A very strong apex in a mission type that NC-150 isn't well equipped for.
NC-150 Beta	159		Laser/Pellet	X	Lots of lasers to fully utilize the destructive power of Super Reflect.
Tar'Cah Delta	112	+52	Shuriken/MIRVA	X	The EMP Laser apex makes Tar'Cah nearly invincible in Shuriken/MIRV missions.
Tar'Cah Lambda	164		General (−Lasers)	X	An excellent Bullets Only mission type with lots of bullets but not extremely dense which is sufficient for Tar'Cah to handle.
Veil Beta
Veil Sigma
Krillou Gamma	096	−63	General (−Lasers)	S	A very strong apex in a decently well suited mission type.
Krillou Alpha	033		Dart/Pellet/Laser	C	Deleting bullets infrequently in a fast paced mission type mean very little.
Jericho Alpha	119	+20	Dart/MIRV	S	A nice improvement apex on a mission type where taking out dangerous MIRV and Doomsday Super MIRV turrets can make a difference, but the Radar Upgrade may target dart turrets instead.
Jericho Gamma	139		Laser/Pellet	A	Focus allows you to keep on reflecting lasers, but it would be nice if some bullet hell was thrown in to train using Personal Shield Fade Out.
Fujin Epsilon	081	+33	Shuriken/Boomerang/MIRV	A	An insignificant apex in a mission type that is neutral.
Fujin Sigma	114		Shuriken/MIRVA	B	A very powerful apex in a mission type which Fujin is very weak to due to its mostly forward firing damage means.

Tempest Delta
Tempest Beta
Yoth-Hola Beta	145	−21	Laser/Pellet	X	An easy mission type with lots of opportunities to go upfield to utilize the additional lasers for damage.
Yoth-Hola Epsilon	124		Laser/Shuriken	S	Although an insignificant apex, this mission type is probably the best way to showcase it since Sentinel can eliminate laser MIRVs while you stay shielded in Personal Shield, allowing a potentially safer exit. The few lasers also make eliminating Super MIRVs just slightly easier.
Razor VI Beta
Razor VI Sigma	018		General (−Boomerangs)	S	A strong apex in a well suited Mixed Bullets & Lasers mission type.
Mist Star Lambda	043		Dart/Pellet/Laser	S	A rather strong apex in a mission type which allows for some grazing to pull off more Stun EMPs to feel the strong stun effects.

Proxymar Delta	126	−34	Shuriken/MIRVA	B	A mission type which Proxymar is not at all equipped for, although the difficulty of the mission means the Extended Range might help.
Proxymar Beta	092		Dart/MIRV	B	EMP Core deletes some bullets from MIRVs, but a dart heavy mission type makes setting up Mega Bombs hard in the first place.
Oran Beta	105	−66	Dart/MIRV	B	Darts make it easy to graze to gain Aura, but getting emergency particles can grow Stun EMP slightly faster to just enough of a size to reach some dangerous turrets.
Oran Delta	039		General (−Lasers)	A	Decent apex in a mission type that is neutral.
Kada Veni Alpha	155		Laser/Pellet	A	A cheap and decent apex in a mission type which is really weird for Kada Veni, although the apex effects are easily felt in any mission.
Kada Veni Gamma
Wrackr Alpha	063	+72	Shuriken/Boomerang/MIRV	B	Average apex in a mission type with no darts, which makes the apex less useful since it is much easier to go up close to Invaders.
Wrackr Epsilon	135		Shuriken/MIRVA	X	A powerful apex in a Bullets Only mission type that allows Bullet Detonator to shine really well.
Trireme Tau	156	−28	Shuriken/MIRVA	X	The best possible mission type to be deployed in for Double Teleport since the Graze & Teleport technique works wonders here.
Trireme Gamma	128		General (−Lasers)	S	A strange apex in a mission type that is neutral. Would be a bit better if deployed in an easier mission type due to main weapon and invader affinity mismatch.
Cinnri Lambda
Cinnri Tau	136		Laser/Shuriken	S	A powerful apex in a mission type which although Cinnri is not good against, the strength of the apex makes it doable.
Phoenix Delta	064	+23	Laser/Shuriken	X	Very powerful apex well suited to a mission type with lots of lasers but also a fair amount of bullets from shurikens.
Phoenix Beta	087		Laser/Pellet	X	Supersize catches more lasers and deletes more bullets quite well too.

Buhloo Gamma	157		Shuriken/MIRVA	A	A Bullets Only mission type makes it very easy to be cornered which allows Extended Range to shine, but is a mission type Buhloo is very weak to.
Czar Lambda	098	+18	General (−Lasers)	S	A very strong apex in a decently suited mission type.
Czar Delta	116		Dart/MIRV	A	An interesting apex in a decently suited MIRV-heavy mission type where Double Teleport can be used to eliminate MIRVs more efficiently.
Havoc Alpha
Havoc Gamma	153		General (−Pellets)	A	Not a very significant apex, but may help to eliminate some deadly turrets like speed lasers in this mission type.
Geist Phi
Geist Sigma
Juggernaut Delta
Juggernaut Lambda	070		General (−Lasers)	S	A very strong apex in a less than ideal mission type with fast bullets which makes charging Mega Bombs difficult, making pulling off the Mega Bomb + Destructor Wave combination harder.

Tillat'Or Epsilon
Elyon Lambda	097	+43	General (−Boomerangs)	A	Good chance to shred some Invader shields but more ideal in a mission with slightly less lasers.

Vuxine Gamma	123	+31	Dart/MIRV	A	A useless apex in a mission type where darts are aplenty and there should be plenty of grazing, but MIRV heavy waves may require desperate Aura.
Vuxine Alpha	154		General (−Lasers)	A	Getting quick emergency Point Defence when cornered by shuriken clouds in this mission type may be useful.
Photurius Lambda	129	+32	Dart/Boomerang/Laser	S	A fast paced mission type that allows Double Shot to be used quite effectively.
Photurius Tau	161		Dart/Boomerang/Pellet	X	An extremely powerful apex that is suited to a wide range of mission types.
Xaniea Lambda	093	−13	Dart/MIRV	B	A strong apex in a difficult dart and MIRV heavy mission which makes teleporting up close to Invaders to utilize Explosive Arrival very difficult.
Xaniea Tau	080		General (−Lasers)	S	Well placed in Gau Prime to highlight the aesthetics of playing this ship, with just a lack of lasers and Sinister Invaders to complete the color palette.
Arietis Lambda	051		General (−Lasers)	X	A very well suited Bullets Only mission type for Bullet Detonator to shine, while keeping bullet density manageable for Arietis to handle.
Arietis Epsilon
Atlas Delta

VIP Mission Gap Summary

As mentioned above, the maximum absolute value between the VIP Missions of a ship's 2 apexes is 100. With a range of 1-100 for the absolute gap, it is possible to determine how many VIP periods apart are their apexes for each ship.

As mentioned in the Phoenix 2 VIP section, you can buy VIP halfway through a daily mission so that you can cover 31 VIP missions. Thus, a VIP period shall be defined as 31 full days.

VIP Mission Cycle

The mission cycle for VIP missions is the same for all of Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.

• This means the mission venue and mission type are the same. (As well as the apex , as previously mentioned.)
  • Bronze VIP missions can be considered to be more difficult relative to bronze rank normal daily missions , since boomerangs can appear.
  • Similarly, mission types that don't appear in normal daily missions in bronze , silver and gold ranks can appear in Bronze , Silver & Gold VIP missions.
• Refer back to the Daily Missions section for the different mission types.

To find out the correct sequence number for the corresponding details of a specific specialist mission, use the formula (VIP Mission Number) % 200.

• The % symbol means modulo. This means take the VIP Mission Number, divide it by 200 and take the remainder as the answer.
• For example, if the VIP mission number is #947, then the sequence number is 147. (947 ÷ 200 = 4 with a remainder of 147).
• The VIP mission number is different from the daily mission number. Therefore, you cannot directly use the daily mission number to calculate the sequence number for VIP missions.
  
  • However, you can use this alternate formula: (Daily Mission Number + 55) % 200.
  • For example, if the daily mission number is #3692, then the sequence number would be 147. [ (3692 + 55) ÷ 200 = 18 with a remainder of 147].

Trivia: The first VIP mission wasn't VIP Mission #1, but VIP Mission #18, which started with Razor VI Sigma. However, there were a few VIP missions before VIP Mission #18 which cannot be played at that time since the game was not updated to show VIP missions back then.
