Enigma Stages

Enigma Stages (発掘ステージ Hakkutsu Sutēji, Excavation Stages) are a feature available after unlocking any Legend Cat from Stories of Legend. They were added in Version 9.4.
==Introduction==
To unlock an Enigma Stage, you need to acquire an Enigma (also known as an Enigma Map, an item which has a set chance to drop when clearing any Legend Stage (other than Challenge Battle, Catamin Stages, Continuation Stages and the Enigma Stages themselves). If you happen to obtain one, the Enigma has a chance of being an Inferior, Normal, or Superior Enigma, depending on your Enigma Level. After obtaining the Enigma, the cats will start decoding it in the Legend Stages menu, a process which takes 3 hours to complete. The player can tap on the Enigma that is being decoded to see how much time is remaining until it is decoded.
Once the Enigma has been decoded, the player can tap on the "Complete!" button to reveal a random Enigma Stage. After beating the Enigma Stage, the player will receive a reward. Up to 4 Enigma Stages will be shown at once, so if you unlock one but already have four others waiting to be played, you will not get another.
All Enigma Stages last for 24 hours after being unlocked and may only be completed once before disappearing.
==Enigma Level==
Enigma Level is a leveling system that allows players to gain a higher chance to obtain rarer Enigmas, e.g. level 1 has a higher chance to get Inferior Enigmas and levels 9/10 have a higher chance of getting Superior Enigmas. Enigma Level is dictated by how many units have been unlocked from Stories of Legend and Uncanny Legends (Ururun Wolf, Li'l Nyandam, Red Riding Mina, Miyamoku Musashi, Mecha-Bun, Dogumaru, Urs & Fenrir, Elder Mask Doron, Elder Beast Naala and Ancient Egg: N000).

===Hunter's Maps===
Unlike other Enigmas, the Hunter's Maps all have multiple stages. Each stage drops a different color Behemoth Stone, with more advanced Hunter's Maps having more stages and potentially dropping more stones at a time. Hunter's Map IV has Continuation Stages that can drop Behemoth Gems, but also introduce a new enemy: Iguanidae Ibilujon.
In regards to Hunter's Maps, raising Enigma Level only affects which one will appear: Enigma Level 1-3 has Hunter's Map I, 4-5 replaces it with Hunter's Map II, Enigma Level 6-9 gets Hunter's Map III, and Enigma Level 10 gets Hunter's Map IV.

Hunter's Map IV 	狩人の地図Ⅳ 	Hunter's Map IV 	Purple, Blue, Green, Red, Yellow	Yes (40%)
===Summer Break Cats===
Enigmas for these stages can only be obtained from the Summer Break Cats Gauntlet. All contain no enemies other than Ritual Drum Doge, Firework Guys and Ms. Sign, are rated as ★1 difficulty, cost 50 energy, and have a guaranteed chance to drop Legend Nets for the Summer Break Cats gacha. Each map has four variations with different backgrounds, allowing players to get Cat Food and Leadership aplenty.

==Trivia==
*The actual method of players upgrading their Enigma Level is to unlock certain Meow Medals. Hence, completing the corresponding stages is not what increases players' Enigma Levels; players have to obtain the relevant units in order to meet the requirements.
*Idi:N and Master of Mind Soractes are the only drop units from the main Legend Stages who don't increase the player's Enigma Level.
*Enigma Level 6 was added in Version 11.5 alongside Hunter's Maps I, II and III.
**Enigma Levels 7 ~ 9 were added in Version 12.0.
**Enigma Level 10 was added in Version 12.4 alongside Hunter's Map IV.
*Although the first image for the Enigma Stage tutorial includes a platinum Enigma, no such item can be found in-game.
*Sprites for two more Enigma rarities, or alternate designs for Normal and Superior Enigmas, can be found in the game's files.
*Shack of Spirit, Cave of Spirit and Labyrinth of Spirit all reference the Room of Spirit and Time from Dragon Ball. The reference is more obvious with the maps' Japanese names.
*Bad Instinct's Origin, Bad Instinct's Apex and Bad Instinct's Refuge are the only Talent Orb Enigma maps not to follow the "Cradle, Summit, Frontier" naming scheme.
*Hunter's Map IV is the only Enigma map to introduce a new enemy.
*While the Japanese name of Enigma Stages (発掘ステージ Hakkutsu Sutēji) can be translated as "Exacavation Stages", it isn't the same as the Gigahaniwan Strikes! Gauntlet's Excavation Lvs. (出土Lvs. Shutsudo Lvs.). The Enigma Stages use the term 発掘, which means discovering something via excavation, whereas 出土 has the connotations of being unearthed and taken from the ground.
