Relays

Introduction

• "We were led astray. We forgot the Conclave, so when that new evil came, we were not prepared. This is how we failed the Orokin. You went into stasis, but not me. I searched the long path for redemption, for the kind of balance only The Conclave can create. Now I return, only to find the Tenno still herded like livestock. Horrors from beyond the Outer Terminus are coming. You must prepare. You must accept The Conclave. Let it be your teacher and I its humble guide. For true balance can only be found in the face of the ultimate enemy. Yourself."

• "The Lotus seduced the Tenno. Led them on a complacent path like oxen. I failed the Orokin but I will preserve their legacy. The Tenno. Now is the time for action. Cast off your harness and become a pupil of The Conclave. Through trial combat, I will prepare you for the evils beyond the Outer Terminus. A warrior only grows if they face the ultimate enemy. Themselves."

Lunaro

Tutorial

• "Lunaro. Ancient sport of the lost Orokin Era. Here, on this abandoned field, Tenno will come together in the spirit of honor and teamwork to resurrect this forgotten tradition. Let me explain how it works..."

• "Lunaro is a team game, played on a field divided into two halves: Sun and Moon. The objective is simple: Get the ball, called a 'Lunaro' through the opponent's goal at the opposite end of the arena. The team with the most points by the end of the match wins the game."

The Arcata

• "To get possession of the Lunaro, you simply touch it. It will pull into your arm-mounted launcher, called your 'Arcata'. Launch the Lunaro by tapping the fire button. Holding the fire button for the duration of the throw will launch it further. To curve your shot, try launching the Lunaro from a slide. Your Arcata is also equipped with a range-limited attractor. Hold the aim button to attract the Lunaro when it is near. Catching, interceptions and guarding your team's goal rely on this."

Carrying the Lunaro

• "The Lunaro contains an ancient and unstable energy. This creates a few carrying rules for the Lunaro. First, you cannot carry the Lunaro for more than 5 seconds, or it will explode. Second, you cannot Bullet Jump with the Lunaro. Doing so drops the Lunaro immediately. These rules encourage teamwork, passing and rebounds to attain victory."

Checking

• "Use your melee attack to check other players. Checking the ball carrier will jar the Lunaro loose. Repeated checking of a player will knock them down for a short time. The Lunaro itself can also be struck, making it dangerous and unstable for a few seconds. Being hit by an unstable Lunaro will knock you down."

Zone Clearing

• "Each team's goal has a semi-circle area on the field around it, called the Zone. After scoring, the attacking team must clear the defender's zone. Attackers within the zone will have their Arcatas disabled until they clear out. Play resumes with the Lunaro dropping from the defender's zone. Only the beginning and halftime Lunaro drops occur at center field."

Passing

• "Good passing is crucial to winning Lunaro. When aiming near a teammate you will see a chevron appear over them. Tapping pass with this chevron up will automatically pass to that player. Keep in mind it is still possible to intercept a pass, but a passed Lunaro moves faster and more accurately to a receiver than a standard launch."

Scoring

• "Getting the Lunaro through the opponents goal is worth one point. If the goal is scored from outside the defender's zone, an additional point is given. If the Lunaro is unstable during the goal, an extra point is also awarded."

Tutorial Complete

• "Now... practice in this empty arena. Familiarize yourself with the Arcata's launching and attracting modes. Practice scoring, rebounding and checking. Prepare yourself, Tenno, for the glory of the Lunaro!"

Intermission

• "For those of who have rejected the blood of Conclave, I call to you to join us in honor-bound tradition... Lunaro!"

• "Here on the Lunaro pitch, we seek no injury, no death. We uphold the ancient traditions of sporting conduct and battle not for blood... but for glory."
