Since Chronicle of Shifting Stratagems is a combat event, there are no prerequisite quests that you need to complete before beginning this event. You can directly start playing by navigating to it from the Events tab. Do note that players will need to have reached a minimum of Adventure Rank 20 and also have completed the Archon Quest Prologue: Act III "Song of the Dragon and Freedom" to access this event.

Chronicle of Shifting Stratagems has a total of six combat stages, with one stage being unlocked each day. Each of these stages will have one featured character, who will receive certain buffs while in combat. For example, the character featured in the first challenge is Varesa, whose CRIT DMG is buffed after hitting opponents with her Plunging Attack.

Each challenge stage is divided into two halves, with the featured character present in both. You will need to form two separate teams, including this character, for the two combat halves. There is no limit to the number of enemies that will spawn during this challenge, so your only goal is to defeat as many of them as you can to score maximum points.

In order to help you form the teams, specific elements will be recommended to you for both halves of the stage. If you use characters of these recommended Elemental types, you will receive bonus points during the challenge.
