Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |---|---:|---|---| | loopPhase | string | Yes | One of Explore, Fight, Loot, Upgrade (maps to the Explore-Upgrade-Repeat Loop) | | resinType | string | Conditional | OriginalResin or CondensedResin when loopPhase is Loot/Upgrade via Domains/Bosses | | resinCost | number | Conditional | Resin required by the selected Domain/Boss. Use the in-game cost shown on the activity panel | | rewardTier | string | No | Domain difficulty tier tied to AR/WL; higher tiers increase reward quality | | arLevel | number | No | Adventure Rank that gates difficulty and reward tiers | | worldLevel | number | No | World Level that scales overworld enemy strength/rewards | | currency | string | Conditional | Primogems, Fate (Acquaint/Intertwined), Mora, Hero’s Wit, Enhancement Ore | | wishType | string | Conditional | CharacterEventWish or WeaponEventWish (determines which banner pool is used) | | element | string | Conditional | One of the 7 elements; used during Fight to trigger elemental reactions |

Code Example `ts /** * Minimal client-side model for the Explore-Upgrade-Repeat loop. * Assumption: you will mirror in-game UI values (AR, WL, resin cost) into your app state. */

type LoopPhase = "Explore" | "Fight" | "Loot" | "Upgrade"; type ResinType = "OriginalResin" | "CondensedResin";

type Activity = { id: string; name: string; kind: "Domain" | "Boss" | "Chest" | "OverworldNode"; loopPhase: LoopPhase; // where it fits in the loop resinType?: ResinType; // only for Domain/Boss resinCost?: number; // only for Domain/Boss rewardNotes: string; // e.g., "Artifact set exp", "Ascension material" };

const activities: Activity[] = [ { id: "dom-abyss-1", name: "Elemental Artifact Domain (Tier depends on AR)", kind: "Domain", loopPhase: "Loot", resinType: "OriginalResin", resinCost: 20, rewardNotes: "Artifact EXP + artifact drops; higher tiers require higher AR", }, { id: "boss-hydro-1", name: "Hydro Regisvine Boss", kind: "Boss", loopPhase: "Loot", resinType: "OriginalResin", resinCost: 40, rewardNotes: "Ascension material drops for Hydro characters", }, { id: "ow-node-1", name: "Overworld Plant Node", kind: "OverworldNode", loopPhase: "Explore", rewardNotes: "Free collection for ascension/upgrade materials", }, ];

function canClaimRewards(params: { activity: Activity; resinRemaining: number }) { const { activity, resinRemaining } = params; if (!activity.resinCost) return true; // chests/overworld nodes return resinRemaining >= activity.resinCost; }

function nextUpgradeFocus(params: { loopPhase: LoopPhase; hasLoot: boolean }) { const { loopPhase, hasLoot } = params; // Deterministic mapping to keep the loop consistent if (loopPhase === "Loot" && hasLoot) return "Upgrade"; return loopPhase === "Explore"? "Fight": loopPhase; } `

Response Format json { "loopPhase": "Explore", "activity": { "id": "boss-hydro-1", "kind": "Boss", "resinType": "OriginalResin", "resinCost": 40 }, "gating": { "resinRemaining": 30, "canClaimRewards": false, "reason": "Insufficient Resin for Domain/Boss cost" }, "expectedRewards": { "categories": ["Ascension materials", "Boss drops"], "rewardTier": "Depends on AR/WL" }, "nextPhase": "Explore" } Field notes: -

• Validate currency names and types per activity: Domains/Bosses consume Resin; overworld/Statues/quests typically do not. - Handle gating explicitly: AR/WL affect difficulty and reward tiers; resin affects claim timing. - Expect partial loop completion: a run can yield Loot without immediate Upgrade if you lack Mora/exp/upgrade mats. - Edge cases to model: capped rewards (e.g., resin cap), discounted costs (Condensed Resin uses 1 Original Resin-equivalent cost structure), and inventory limits (full equipment/material slots can block pickup).
