#Umbra Anomaly Rules: Explained!
Chapter 1: Overview & Capture Battle
The Umbra Anomalies will consist of four challenges taking place in a three-hour period. Scores for two of these challenges will be recorded with measurements every 20 minutes, one will have measurements every 5 minutes and one will have the score unveiled at the end of the Event, giving the final result.
The four challenges are:
• Capture Battle (35 points)
• Longest Link Path (40 points)
• Unique Portal Hacks (15 points)
• Deciphering Challenge (10 points)
for a total of 100 points per city.
Only Agents who have purchased an Onsite Activation ticket are eligible to have their score counted in the challenges!
The winner faction of the Umbra Series (tie broken by summing the score of all cities) will gain the second choice of a Umbra Key Advantage, usable in the Nemesis Sequence Finale in 2020 (the Enlightened won the first one by capturing Myriad).
All Portals within the Anomaly Zone will have an orange, red, yellow or purple Ornament during the Anomaly. The playbox will be neutralized during the two hours before the Anomaly not changing flipcard inoculation. This neutralization may occur multiple times before the Anomaly.
Capture Battle
Umbra is trying to gain hold via neutral portals in the Anomaly Zone; agents must capture and keep them. Capturing and holding these portals for your Faction will keep Umbra's barrier vulnerable.
The classic of Anomaly Challenges! A captured Portal will score 1 point for the Owner's faction. Approximately 10% of the playbox, different every measurement, will be marked in orange, those Portals are worth 5 points instead of 1.
Measurements will happen every 20 minutes from the start of the Anomaly, measurement windows are 2 minutes wide.
35 points will be split between the two Factions based on the highest raw score achieved in any of the measurements.

#Umbra Anomaly Rules: Explained!
Chapter 2: Longest Link Path and Unique Portal Hacks
Agents must make a long path of links starting from one of their Faction's Base Portals. Long link paths can destabilize Umbra’s barrier, and get us one step closer to re-establishing the connection between the Niantic Project Researchers and our world.
During periods in between measurements, Base Portals for each Faction (highlighted with a decorated triangle in yellow for the Enlightened and in purple for the Resistance) will spawn in the playbox. Goal of the challenge is to create a non-looping chain of links from those Portals. The longer the chain, the more points will be awarded.
The first Link in the chain will be worth as many points as its length in Km, the second Link will be worth double its length in points and so on up to 8x the length of the 8th Link.
The raw score for each Faction will be its maximum score from any of the measurements (happening every 20 minutes after the start) during the Anomaly Period. 40 Anomaly Points will be then distributed to the two teams on a percentual basis.
Unique Portal Hacks
Agents must hack as many different portals in the Anomaly Zone as they can. Hacking the portals casts the net to capture Umbra.
Only during the Anomaly Period, from start to end, each Agent will have his unique hacks - only in the Anomaly Zone - counted.
At the end of the Events, top and bottom 15% of each Faction's leaderboard will be removed, and the score calculated taking the average number of Unique Anomaly Portal Hacks for each Faction. The winner of this challenge will get all of the 15 points at stake!
⚠️ Only Agents who purchased an Onsite Activation Ticket will have their links or unique hacks counted for the final score.

#Umbra Anomaly Rules: Explained!
Chapter 3: Decyphering Challenge
Umbra's true name is hidden behind layers of shadow and mystery. While the anomaly battle will prevent her plans from coming to fruition, in order to truly defeat her, the agents must uncover her true identity. Agents must decode enciphered passcodes and enter them into the scanner in order to identify information about Umbra.
At the start of the anomaly, Agents who purchased an Onsite or Offsite Activation Ticket will receive an email from Niantic (check the email sender's address) containing some minicodes for their specific city. When these codes are redeemed by an Agent, it will be counted for their Faction. If a Faction reaches 75% of solved minicodes, it will reach Critical State, and unlock a Master Code: if decoded correctly, it will grant 10 Anomaly Points to the first Faction to redeem it.
⚠️ Only Agents who purchased an Activation Ticket will receive the Minicodes/Master Codes email.
This concludes our overview on the rules for the #Umbra Anomalies. If you still are in doubt, read Niantic's FAQ, create a thread in the Ingress Forums, or ask in our Discussion Group!
