Integrated Strategies (IS) is a roguelike game mode where you embark on a randomized run, recruiting operators, acquiring relics, and battling through various encounters. Each run is unique, offering high replayability and a different strategic challenge. This mode is often available as a permanent feature or a recurring event.
In IS, you start with a small squad and gradually expand it by recruiting operators from a pool, earning 'Hope' (the currency for recruitment) from encounters. Relics provide powerful buffs that can drastically alter your strategy. The mode tests your adaptability and ability to build a cohesive team on the fly. Rewards include Orundum, materials, and exclusive collectibles. It's a great way to use operators you might not typically deploy in main stages and discover new synergies.
