Kythera


Kythera is an Anomaly event that will span three Phases, with one Phase each month in April, May, and June 2022. The main focus is to control Battle Beacons Very Rare Battle Beacon in certain cities, and all over the world. A unique Anomaly-medal will be available to Agents who participate in the Event. This follows a similar format to the Kureze Effect-Anomaly.

Rules

One hundred (100) locations are expected to "destabilize" each phase. Any given location may or may not be targeted in more than one phase.

Phase 1 occurred from Friday, 15. April 2022 1100 UTC to Monday, 18. April 2022 1100 UTC (72 hours), and reach its maxima on Sunday, 17. April 2022.

Some Portals will be ornamented before the Anomaly, which will be viewable by anyone in the Scanner until 15. April, 1500 UTC. Any Portals ornamented before the beginning of Phase 1 will have a Battle Beacon Rare Battle Beacon deployed by NIASection14 on Sunday, 17. April between 1430 and 1730 local time.

Phase 2 occurred from Friday, 20. May 2022 1100 UTC to Monday, 23. May 2022 1100 UTC (72 hours), and reach its maxima on Saturday, 21. May 2022.

NIA Researchers managed to redirect part of the disturbance to the following ten (10) chosen Impact Zones:

  • Shizuoka City, Shizuoka, Japan
  • Dubai, UAE
  • Denizli, Turkey
  • Kraków, Poland
  • Stuttgart, Germany
  • Cambridge, UK
  • La Plata, Argentina
  • Grand Rapids, MI, USA
  • Midland, TX, USA
  • Tapachula, Chiapas, México

Some Portals at each Impact Zone will be ornamented before the Anomaly, which will be viewable by anyone in the Scanner until 20. May, 1100 UTC. Any Portals ornamented before the beginning of Phase 2 will have a Battle Beacon Rare Battle Beacon deployed by NIASection14 on Sunday, 21. May between 1430 and 1730 local time.

For the 10 chosen Impact Zones,

  • On 1430, 2x ENL  Target Portals will manifest
  • On 1430, 2x RES  Target Portals will manifest
  • On 1440, 13x Shards will manifest
  • Starting 1450, all manifested Shards will begin moving along L4 or higher Links approximately every 10 minutes
  • The last Shard Movement will be approximately 1720
  • On 1730, all Target Portals will close

(to be added)

Scoring

The final score for each Faction will be the weighted total from all deployed Rare or Very Rare Battle Beacons' Battle Beacon Point Values over all Checkpoints between Friday, 15. April 2022 1100 UTC and Monday, 18. April 2022 1100 UTC across the globe.

For each phase, each of the 100 locations targeted will be worth a total of thirteen (13) points, which will be distributed according to the ratio of weighted Battle Beacon Battle Beacon Point Values they earned from NIA-deployed Battle Beacons Battle Beacon. Each Battle Beacon Battle Beacon will be weighted based on the Battle Category, which is based on number of Agents and Agent activity. From CAT-I to CAT-VI, the weighted values are 1-2-3-6-7-8 respectively.

Agent-deployed Battle Beacons Battle Beacon will have a weighted total of two hundred and sixty (260) points for each Phase, distributed according to the ratio of weighted Battle Beacon Battle Beacon Point Values between Friday, 15. April 2022 1100 UTC and Monday, 18. April 2022 1100 UTC.

Results Announcements

Interim scores for each Faction will be announced periodically through the Scanner News Feed. The final score for Phase 1 will be announced within 24 hours through the Scanner News Feed and Ingress Community Forum.

Kythera Medal

Any Agent who has interacted with at least ten (10) Battle Beacons Battle Beacon scored at any of the three Kythera Phases will be awarded the Kythera-medal. This medal will be awarded as soon as an Agent meets such criteria.

For example, if an Agent interacted with three (3) Battle Beacons Battle Beacon deployed by XM Sensitive Agents during Phase 1 and interacted with seven (7) NIA-deployed Battle Beacons Rare Battle Beacon during Phase 2, they will receive the Kythera-medal by the end of Phase 2.

The medal counts as an Anomaly-medal and will therefore be placed among other Anomaly-medals at the top of the Agent's profile.

The following counts as an interaction once the Battle has started:
