Can you invite a friend into a midway Endless Archive run?

Title. It lets me add a companion midway and only changes my score to duo (like I even care.) Can I invite someone to my mid progress endless archive run?

Thanks!

You can. But the score will only count for players, who are there since start. "Replacements" are out of competition.

Only thing they miss out are rewards and visions from the stages you have done.

When they join you, they get everything except the score.

Now I'm curious if you invite or pay off a ringer/pro to help clear a higher arc :P

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's asking the community for assistance.

Thank you for your understanding

Do they still get drops and stuff? And it won’t reset stages or arcs? Like if I’m at Arc 3/Cycle1/Stage1 someone can just joint without score?

i can almost solo carry through at least arc 4 lol, as long as ive been there to get the vision buffs as those do make a good bit of difference and are pretty much needed for anything past arc 4

Joining an in-progress run will still drop Endless Archive Items.
The person joining will jump ahead to the same Arc/Cycle/Stage you are currently in. But they will have to start with 0 Visions.
They will not be eligible for appearing in the leaderboards.

Now I’m curious… if Person #1 drops after Person #2 joins, can Person #3 then be invited to replace Person #1? If so, how long could a run go for if people can just swap out when they get tired? Could it literally be endless?

well the biggest problem you run into in that scenario is each new player joining would start with 0 visions, which would make later arcs extremely difficult
