The assignment appears automatically on the archway screen alongside the prompt to brave the Threshing.

What we saw
- Our run 1: Assigned to Third Wing, Flame Section, Second Squad.
- Our run 2: Retained the exact same assignment on the same account across both runs.
Counts, not odds. Both runs used a single account, so persistent assignment was observed but not systematically tested across new accounts.
If it goes wrong
| If your run ended here | What players tried next | Seen by |
|---|---|---|
| Looking for a manual menu to select a specific wing, section, or squad. | In our run 2, no selection controls appeared on screen; we pressed Brave Threshing with the assigned placement. | our run 2 · 1 account |
| Expecting squad assignment to change upon starting a second run on the same account. | In our run 2, returning through Rotunda and Archway displayed the same Third Wing assignment. | our run 2 · 1 account |
Players tried these next steps; none guarantees a fix.
