Boss Mode is an option of game play in Stage Mode that allows you to specifically farm for equipment parts, with a dash of luck. The condition? Do battle with a Mech Armour.
Mechanics[]
Each day, a player can run a maximum of 8 attempts in this mode of play. Of which, 4 attempts are free, indicated by the challenge cards in the top right corner. The other 4 attempts will require Diamonds to play. (The 9th try is available to VIP2 players and above)
Like any mode, all costs are rescinded if you surrender or fail the battle - cards, Gold and Diamonds altogether.
Additionally, the number of tries is limited to the difficulty.
- Easy - 8 Tries
- Normal - 5 Tries
- Hard - 3 Tries

Gameplay[]
The Boss battle commences as soon as you enter the stage. Note that the bosses here do less damage than their other mode counterparts. They also do not follow their regular attack pattern, and will randomly rotate them instead. Once defeated, an Equipment reward from the chosen set will be given.
The only lethal objects here are Sudden Missiles, Meteorites and the boss ships themselves. All weapons fired by bosses here are non-lethal (provided you actually survive the damage). With sufficient power and some luck, it is possible to do all the modes handsfree.
Space Stations[]
Space Stations house the 4 equipment categories. After selecting a specified station with the desired equipment type, you will see the layout in the insert on the right. From here, you may scroll the screen to change difficulties, starting from Easy.
Note: With the introduction of each new set, older sets are gradually removed when the full set is released.
- Blitz, Peak & Phoenix set series has been permanently removed.
