Drone Skill Chips
Permanent power boosts — craft smart, upgrade consistently, dominate!
Chip Lab building unlocks at HQ 15. Upgrade it to Lv 15 for first legendary, Lv 20 for all legendaries.

1. What is the Chip Lab?

The Chip Lab is a building that lets you craft drone skill chips from materials. Chips are equipped to your drone and provide permanent combat bonuses that scale with upgrades and stars. Unlike gear or research, chip power carries across all game modes.

Building Unlocks: HQ Level 15 (and approximately server day 80–82)
Chip Lab Max Level: 35 (Levels 31–35 require Oil — Season 2+)
Chip Lab Lv 15: First legendary chip recipe available (Initial Move)
Chip Lab Lv 20: All legendary chip recipes unlocked
Chip Lab Lv 21–35: Power increases only (no new recipes)
Key rule: Always craft the highest rarity you can. Never waste materials on lower tiers.

2. Chip Types & Categories

All chips fall into 4 functional categories. Each category serves a different combat role. A balanced loadout uses chips from multiple categories.

Category	Icon Color	Role	Best For
Attack	Red	Boost drone damage, expand target range	DPS heroes (DVA, Kimberly, Schuyler)
Defense	Blue	Increase HP, armor, damage resistance	Tanks (Murphy, Williams, Carlie, Lucius)
Initial Move	Green	Shield at battle start (~10 seconds)	Opening protection for all squads
Interference	Purple	Extends damage duration, reduces enemy tactic damage	PvP disruption, utility builds

Quality Tiers

Rarity	Color	Material Type	Craft Cost	Notes
R	Green	None	Minimal	Starter chips, replace ASAP
SR	Blue	None	Low	Filler until epic/legendary
SSR	Purple	Basic Materials	400–800	Solid chips — one per slot (Armor-Piercing Pulse III, Photon Armor III, etc.)
UR	Gold	Premium Materials	800	Top priority. 4 exist: MUF, GRA, Lethal Firestorm, AQF

3. Top Chips — Priority Order

Focus your materials on crafting these chips in priority order. The top 4 are Legendary (UR) — craft them first. The rest are Epic (SSR) and are cheaper but still powerful.

#	Chip Name	Rarity	Category	Effect	Best For
1	Memory Ultra Fission	UR	Interference	Back-row damage increase + enemy tactic damage reduction. Type-matched: Tank/Aircraft/Missile versions	ALL squads
2	Gravitational Resonance Armor	UR	Defense	Team defense boost + extra front-row defense	ALL squads
3	Lethal Firestorm	UR	Attack	Attack boost with expanded target hitting capability	DPS heroes
4	Absolute Quantum Field	UR	Initial Move	Shield + damage reduction at battle start	All squads (PvP)
5	Armor-Piercing Pulse III	SSR	Interference	Enhanced armor penetration damage	Anti-tank builds
6	Photon Armor III	SSR	Defense	Defense boost throughout battle	Tanks
7	Ultra Frequency Resonance III	SSR	Attack	Attack power amplification	DPS heroes
8	EM Shield III	SSR	Initial Move	Opening shield protection	PvP defense

Crafting Priority
Memory Ultra Fission FIRST (UR). Gravitational Resonance Armor SECOND (UR). Then Lethal Firestorm + Absolute Quantum Field.
Craft the Aircraft version of Memory Ultra Fission for your Squad 1. Tank version for Squad 2. Epic (SSR) chips like Armor-Piercing Pulse III are cheaper — good filler while saving for legendaries.

4. Recommended Loadouts

Equip 4 chips per drone loadout. Here are optimized setups for each squad type.

Aircraft Heroes (Squad 1)

1 Memory Ultra Fission (Aircraft)
2 Lethal Firestorm
3 Armor-Piercing Pulse III
4 Gravitational Resonance Armor

Tank Heroes (Squad 2)

1 Gravitational Resonance Armor
2 Memory Ultra Fission (Tank)
3 Absolute Quantum Field
4 Photon Armor III

Anti-Tank Build (Your Advantage)

1 Memory Ultra Fission (Aircraft)
2 Lethal Firestorm
3 Armor-Piercing Pulse III
4 Ultra Frequency Resonance III

Support / Buffer (Marshall)

1 Gravitational Resonance Armor
2 Absolute Quantum Field
3 EM Shield III
4 Photon Armor III

Your Key Advantage
Aircraft chips + Armor-Piercing Pulse SHRED tank formations!
Most players on Server #2013 run tanks. Your Aircraft squad with anti-tank chips = built-in type advantage AND armor penetration.

5. Combat Boost & Star Progression

Combat Boost is a universal progression system that enhances ALL equipped chips. Level it consistently — benefits are massive at key milestones.

150

Extra Chip Sets

First milestone

300

Enhanced Stars

Major breakpoint

450

Max Efficiency

Endgame target

Star Progression

Stars	Requirement	Bonus	Notes
1-star	Base craft	Base stats	Starting point
2-star	Duplicate chips + materials	Special bonus unlocked	First power spike
3-star	More duplicates	Stat boost	Steady improvement
4-star	More duplicates	Stat boost	Near max
5-star	Max duplicates + materials	Second special bonus	Full power (Armor-Piercing Pulse III = max armor pen!)

Key Rule
Keep all chip levels roughly equal for maximum efficiency.
Leveling one chip to max while others sit at low levels wastes resources. Balanced leveling = more total power.

6. Farming Guide & F2P Timeline

Premium materials are the bottleneck. Here's where to farm them and what to expect as F2P.

Source	Yield	Time	Priority
Versus Mode	~30 Premium	5–8 min	Highest
Campaign Store	15–25	Check 2–3x daily	High
Alliance Exercises	8–15 Premium	Varies	Medium
Ghost Ops	10–20	Varies	Medium

Weekly total: 420–750 Premium Materials depending on effort. Each UR chip costs 800 Premium Materials to craft.

F2P Timeline

Timeframe	Goal	Details
Month 1	First Legendary	Craft Memory Ultra Fission (Aircraft). Equip immediately. (~800 Premium Materials)
Month 2–3	Combat Boost 150 + 2 Legendaries	Add Gravitational Resonance Armor. Fill remaining slots with SSR chips.
Month 4–6	All 4 UR Chips + CB 300	Complete all 4 legendary chips (Lethal Firestorm + Absolute Quantum Field). Combat Boost 300.

Resource Allocation (Suggested Split)

Category	% of Materials	Why
Attack Chips	60%	Damage wins fights. Prioritize offense first.
Defense Chips	25%	Survivability so your DPS stays alive to deal damage.
Initial Move	10%	Opening shield matters in PvP.
Interference	5%	Luxury — only after core chips are done.

Event Timing
Open drone data CHIP chests on MONDAY (Radar Training VS day)
Drone data chip chests score points on Monday's VS Duel phase. Save chip materials for event bonus periods (20–50% efficiency gains).
