Chip Lab Guide (Season 6)
The core mechanics in this guide are largely unchanged from prior seasons. Season 6 (Lost Rainforest) layers faction warfare and the new progression systems on top — see the Season 6 Overview, Factions Guide, Altars Guide, and City Destruction Guide for what's new. Hero Awakening for Kimberly (W1), DVA (W3), and Tesla (W6) is covered in the Hero Awakening Guide.
Chip Lab in Season 6
By Season 6, your Chip Lab should be a mature system. You should have a complete legendary chip set (4 chips) for your primary squad at 3-star or higher, with a second squad's Interference chip crafted. The fundamentals have not changed, but the Fungus Institute and the Season 6 economy create new strategic considerations.
For the full chip mechanics, see the Pre-Season 1 Chip Lab Guide.
The Chip Lab itself has not changed, but everything around it has. Fungus Institute faction buffs interact with your chip bonuses to create higher total combat stats than ever. The War Merit economy means your resource allocation is tighter — every War Merit spent on chip materials is War Merit not spent on EW Lv20+ progression or Awakening Shards (which gate Season 6's biggest power increase).
