Tower of Adversity
Four zones: Stable (1 tower, 4 stages), Experimental (2 towers of 4 stages) and Overdrive (3 towers of 2 stages, level 100 enemies) are one-time clears; the Hazard Zone (3 towers: Resonant, Hazard and Echoing) resets every 28 days. Resonators spend Vigor per stage, and Vigor is separate for each zone. The faster you clear, the more Crests you earn.
The Hazard Zone gives, per cycle, 800 Astrite, 210,000 Shell Credits, 6 Advanced Resonance Potions, 6 Advanced Energy Cores, 6 Advanced Sealed Tubes and 840 Hazard Records, which you spend at the Adversity Exchange and which carry over between cycles.
Whimpering Wastes
12 stages: Forbidden Waters (stages 1 to 6, one time), Respawning Waters: Chasm (7 to 11) and Respawning Waters: Torrents (final stage, "Infinite Torrents"), which reset every cycle. Each stage needs 2 teams of up to 3, and score depends on speed. Tokens give buffs.
Rewards: 800 Astrite from Forbidden Waters (one time) and 800 per cycle from Respawning Waters, plus Premium Resonance Potions, Energy Cores, Sealed Tubes, Premium Tuners and Shell Credits (community totals). Some guides call it a monthly reset.
Endstate Matrix
Exists since 3.2 (it renamed the Doubled Pawns Matrix). Several teams fight bosses in succession and boss HP carries over from one team to the next; weapons and Echo sets are not shared between teams. Cycles span several versions and each version is one phase; the current one (S2 "Adversity Vanguard", phase 3) runs from Oct 7 to Nov 12.
The community table (labelled version 3.6) shows 50 Astrite per milestone, about 400 Astrite per phase in total (our sum of that table), plus Premium Tuners and Sealed Tubes. Check this phase's values in game.
Fantasies of the Thousand Gateways

Weekly points give: 1,000 pts, 40 Astrite; 2,000, 5 Advanced Sealed Tubes; 3,000, 60 Astrite; 4,000, 5 Advanced Resonance Potions; 5,000, 60 Astrite; 6,000, 60,000 Shell Credits. The Remnant Crystal costs 60 Waveplates. The available information is short and from January 2026.
