This article pertains to a subject that is not yet released in the Global server of Arknights.

Similar to Light in Mizuki & Caerula Arbor, Collapse is a value that measures how much the surroundings have been influenced by the dimensional-warping Collapsals, which affects the run's environment by increasing the Collapse Level that makes it more likely for Collapsal Paradigms to occur upon receiving a Vision (see below).

Players start a run with 0 Collapse, which increases by the following:

1. Choices in certain Encounters (varies with the Encounter)
2. Certain Collectibles
3. Losing Life Point(s) in an operation (+1, which is accounted for at the result screen)
4. Entering the 2nd floor onwards (+3)

Certain Encounters and Collectibles can help the player in lowering Collapse.

Collapse Level	Collapse value
	Challenge the Nature 0	Challenge the Nature +1 onwards

1	4	4
2	8	8
3	12	12
4	16	15

Collapsal Paradigms

Unofficial English translations provided by PHOTON563 with Nikitazero as the proofreader.

Collapsal Paradigms are completely detrimental effects which makes the run harder and either occurs or deepens whenever the Collapse Level rises; lowering it will cause a Paradigm to subside or weaken a deepened Paradigm.

Up to four different Collapsal Paradigms will ever occur in a run. Therefore, at Collapse Level 8, there will be four deepened Collapsal Paradigms.

In the table below, the normal Paradigm's information is in the first row, while the deepened Paradigm's is on the second row.

Paradigm	Information
Dequantification ↓ Deep Dequantification	Has a 25% chance to pay 1 additional Hope or Originium Ingot, or additionally increases Collapse in non-combat nodes Boundary of numbers in this area has become vague. Humans lost the ability to identify natural numbers.
	Has a 50% chance to pay 1 additional Hope or Originium Ingot, or additionally increases Collapse in non-combat nodes The concept of number itself has become vague, such that humans lost the ability to use numbers completely.
Substantive Collapse ↓ Invasive Collapse	4 [Dominion] are present on the battlefield; our units on [Dominion] have -50 ASPD The phenomenon called "Dominion" is appearing frequently on this land on its own.
	8 [Dominion] are present on the battlefield; our units on [Dominion] have -75 ASPD "Dominions" are spreading rapidly, and its efficiency is approaching that of the atmospheric circulation itself.
Non-Linear Motion ↓ Non-Linear Action	All [Collapsal] HP +15% and Movement Speed +15% Straight line isn't the shortest between two points.
	All [Collapsal] HP +20%, Movement Speed +20%, and ASPD +20 Brachistochrone curve isn't the fastest between two points.
Emotional Entity ↓ Terror Entity	5% chance that an enemy gains HP +100% when entering the battlefield When emotional fluctuations inside people's hearts has become the nutrient and stimulant of enemies...
	10% chance that an enemy gains HP +100% when entering the battlefield When the deepest negative emotion inside people's hearts has become real monsters...
Pan-Society Paradox ↓ Pan-Civilization Paradox	All items on the Rogue Trader cost 25% more Significance of society had been altered, the prices of products from the society have then changed.
	All items on the Rogue Trader cost 50% more, and rarer items (standard cost of 12 or higher) cost 100% more The essence of civilization had been distorted, prices of all products have become unexplainable.
Pressure Abnormality ↓ Pressure Disorder	Natural DP recovery rate reduced by 20% Atmospheric pressure fluctuates randomly within an interval, non-military personnels cannot adapt to these changes and have become sluggish.
	Natural DP recovery rate reduced by 40% Changes in atmospheric pressure follows no pattern, all events have become unavoidably redundant due to personal discomfort.
Triggered Damage ↓ Triggered Grave Danger	Our units lose 30% Max HP upon deployment Life is not only the premise of action, but also the price of action.
	Our units lose 60% Max HP upon deployment Life is the premise of action, and is becoming the premise of death.
Convergence Consumption ↓ Convergence Lost	When the Anti-Interference Index is reduced, Max Life Point -1 Whenever the equipment got damaged, its users take the same damage.
	When the Anti-Interference Index is reduced, Max Life Point -2 Equipment is like part of its users' body, and its damage is equivalent to damage to its users.
