Plan your next Eventide Matter session
Our independent guide breaks down the core pillars of Eventide Matter, offering observations that help you align resources, upgrades, and combat tools for smoother portal construction. By comparing each system’s role, you can craft a balanced approach that mitigates enemy pressure while advancing your tech and building goals.
01 / THE GUIDE
Material Prioritization
Compare the six materials’ availability and component yield. Note which resources produce the most versatile parts and allocate collection time accordingly to keep your crafting pipeline full.
- Prioritize gathering a variety of materials early to keep crafting options open.
- Compare the yields of each material to decide which to focus on for specific components.
02 / THE GUIDE
Tech Tree Mapping
Sketch a simple flowchart of the tech tree’s branches. Highlight upgrades that boost both offense and defense, then decide on a path that supports your preferred module set.
- Map out the tech tree early to identify upgrades that complement your preferred playstyle.
- Balance offensive and defensive upgrades to handle relentless enemy pressure.
03 / THE GUIDE
Module Synergy Testing
Experiment with pairing lasers and shields versus drones and tractor beams. Record which combinations best counter the crystalline attackers while preserving construction speed.
- Test different module combinations to discover synergistic effects.
- Upgrade modules that address the most frequent threats you encounter.
04 / THE GUIDE
Layered Portal Planning
Outline the sequence of portal layers on paper. Identify stages where enemy activity spikes and plan to activate protective modules during those critical moments.
- Plan the order of layer assembly to minimize exposure to enemies.
- Use shields and drones during critical construction phases for added safety.
05 / THE GUIDE
Enemy Pattern Observation
Watch the crystalline foes’ movement and attack rhythms. Note any predictable behaviors and adjust your module deployment to exploit gaps in their assault cycles.
- Maintain a balance between offensive lasers and defensive shields to keep enemies at bay.
- Observe enemy patterns to anticipate attacks and adjust your positioning.
