Different Defense modes:
Once you get access to Zenless Zone Zero Shiyu Defense, you will find various groups of stages to complete. Shiyu Defense is divided into three defence areas:
Stable nodes: These are permanently available and will provide you with the same enemies and stage bonuses. These nodes cannot be refreshed. You can claim one-time rewards for finishing a stage. You can achieve more rewards on the basis of your ranks (B, A, S Ranks).
Disputed nodes: These are also permanently available and cannot be refreshed. However, it is much more difficult than stable nodes. It focuses on survivability which means the fewer of your agent dies, the more rewards you will earn.
Critical nodes: This can be refreshed after every 15 days. These are the most challenging defence areas. It focuses on killing a set number of enemies within a certain amount of time, and meeting certain thresholds will grant you the maximum rewards. S-ranking all 7 critical node stages will allow you to skip the first 3 stages in the upcoming cycle. Apart from these three defence areas, an ambush node was there which is currently unavailable.
