About
Homecoming has a 13-Week Rotation of Weekly Strike Targets repeated four times a year for all 52 weeks of annual play.
The tables below offer cycle details, errata, and dates for each cycle year.
Cycle Details
See Weekly Strike Target for bonus rewards common to every attempt.
This table is sortable to allow players to compare columns and organize a plan on which weeks to partake.
- The Week and Notes columns will be split into single rows if sorted apart, every row will keep correct individual data.
- Starred Contacts (☆) offer Advanced Difficulty task/strike force options (1-4 Star Difficulty) in exchange for greater rewards and larger amounts of Prismatic Aether upon completion.
- Contacts with a Dagger (†) award optional Incarnate Salvage as a completion choice instead of double merits for Level 50 characters. The option is presented in a Rewards Table to pick from.
- Unlockable contacts such as Ernesto Hess or Mortimer Kal only need unlocked on the team leader; any teammate who meets the TF/SF Level & Alignment requirements otherwise can join a team if they haven't unlocked the contact.

Editor's Note:
Please note that all schedules are SUBJECT TO CHANGE. This is not an official calendar, nor maintained regularly; it is merely iterating the above cycle over the course of a given year.
2024 Schedule
Weekly Strike Targets cycle nightly at Monday 04:00 UTC, or Midnight Eastern Time. This means for most US Players, Sunday evening is when the WST will change from one week's targets to a new list.
For the end bonus, a Weekly Strike Target must be completed BEFORE the change over. The WST check is done at the TF/SF completion, not the start.
Example: Ernesto Hess started at 9:45 PM CST in Chicago. Task Force finished at 11:20 PM. 11:20 PM Central is 12:20 AM Eastern, so the bonus would no longer apply. The completion still grants 19 Merits.
