** Since "Lone Trail", Arknights' official social media will post in-universe documents that serves as sidestory event's after action report. When an event is rerun, it will retroactively gain these documents too. Special Operation vignettes don't get these posts.
** In Herzenfolgen minigame in "Zwillingstrume im Herbst", if you choose wrong Arts Tune three times, the hint section will stop being vague and just outright say the correct Aspect and Desire combination. However, if you haven't unlocked the correct Aspect, you still need to trial-and-error your way to its combination.

* ClarkesThirdLaw: There's a major divide among Arts theory in the setting; Leithanien subscribes to a more mystical approach closer to [[MagicAIsMagicA stereotypical magic system in fantasy stories]], while Columbia is more interested with {{Magitek}} application. This divide is a part of struggle to push their nation's ideologies on the world's stage; Leithanien is an old {{Magocracy}} with a legendary SorcerousOverlord wishing to preserve their influence, while Columbia is a young nation without illustrious founding myth wishing to be a new superpower. [[spoiler:Later revelations show that just about everything magical in the setting was actually technological artifacts left behind by SufficientlyAdvancedAlien {{Precursors}}. For example, the Black Crown, Sarkaz's DivineRightOfKings said to contain all previous kings' wisdom, is actually a receiver for a massive data cloud storage that functions akin to a virtual Website/{{Wikipedia}}.]]

** Episode 6 ends with Kal'tsit barging in Wei's office declaring that [[spoiler:Chernobog is in collusion course toward Lungmen]].
** Episode 11 reveals Kazdel Military Commision's secret weapon, [[spoiler:a DreadZeppelin capable of controlling Catastrophe, with an exact goal of a genocidal campaign against the rest of the world]].
** Many events made up their own subplots' MythArc, where the ending of an event becomes story fodders for its sequel. In particular, "Maria Nearl" is a glorified prologue for Kazimierz Major storyline that serves as [[RightfulKingReturns Nearl's return from exile]] and the start of the schemes against her.

* NoahsStoryArc: It's in the title; Rhodes Island is a landship that recruits exceptional animal people from all walks of life to brave disasters. In what-if situations where Terra gets 'flooded' by calamities, such as in alternate endings of "Mizuki & Caerula Arbor" or Kal'tsit's Bloodline of Combat skin, Rhodes Island becomes the last bastion of mankind against these threats.

These maps feature incredibly tough enemies configured in even tougher formations, and may even bring back a stronger version of the chapter boss for you to fight, with later chapters outright giving the bosses entirely new abilities.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Grani and the Knights' Treasure'', the first side story added to the game, has a number of oddities when compared to future side stories, mostly on account of its smaller scope:
** ''Knights' Treasure'' only introduces one new regular enemy type to the game, the Acid Originium Slug, with the other enemies mostly being Reunion grunts from the main story stages. Later side stories primarily have the player fighting against all original enemies.
** The event's expert stages were split into three "EX" stages and three "HX" stages, with the costs associated with Challenge Mode even on normal[[note]]3 Plans required to practice the stage, and only half Sanity returned if you fail[[/note]], but with only the latter having actual Challenge Modes. Both of these would be combined into a singular EX stage type that had Challenge Modes and normal costs for normal mode.
** Big Bob, the event boss, had a stronger PaletteSwap named "Big Adam" fought in GT-HX-3 who is classified as a seperate boss in the Enemy Index. Later events would simply bring back the original boss with buffed stats for their expert stages.
** Most of ''Knights' Treasure''[='s CGs=] are edited together from character portraits and cutscene backgrounds, as opposed to the original illustrations used in later side stories.
** The story segments are extremely short by ''Arknights''[='=] standards, clocking in at just 8950 words in the English version. For comparison the second side story, ''Heart of Surging Flame'', is over twice as long at 21,490 words and is still in the top 3 shortest side stories/intermezzi by word count.
