While the activity itself is fairly easy, it can be confusing learning how it works or even how to unlock it. This guide will showcase what Mirror Defense is, how to unlock it, all rewards tied to this game mode, and we’ll give some general tips to maximize your time in Tyrana Pass.
How To Unlock Mirror Defense
Tyrana Pass, a Mars tile that houses the Mirror Defense game type, isunlocked immediately upon completing the “Heart of Deimos” quest.The quest itself is unlocked upon completing the Earth to Mars Junction, and any players who’ve already completed “Heart of Deimos” will have this mission unlocked automatically. Otak will send a message to your inbox once you unlock Tyrana Pass.
Mirror Defense Basics
Mirror Defense is your typical endless Defense mission with a slight twist.This activity features two defense objectives that rotate every two and a half minutes, similar to how Uranus Defense missions work. During this time, various crystals called Citrine’s Remnants will spawn in the arena that can be grabbed by walking through them.Grabbing 50 fragments of Citrine’s Remnants will activate a Prismatic Ward, fully restoring the defense objective’s shields while granting five Rania or Belric Crystals.The objective you’re defending determines which crystals you’ll be awarded.
Essentially, this is less of a typical Defense and more of a timed scavenger hunt.Your goal is to grab as many crystals as possible.Defending the objectives is still important but not the main priority here. We highly recommend bringing crowd control Warframes or slow abilities (notably Sevagoth’s Gloom) to make this mission easier.
Defending both crystals once will complete a rotation of this game type, taking roughly six minutes per rotation. Rotational rewards include crystal currencies, blueprints for Citrine and her signature weapons, Arcanes, and Endo. Exact drop tables can be found in the next section.
