Atelier Resleriana - Game Review & Gacha Rates

This new chapter of the Atelier series opens with a very tragic story. In the world of Lantana, where the protagonist, Resna, resides, there was once abundant Mana. People lived happily, and the world prospered with Alchemy. However, at some point, the world's mana began to diminish, and a comet appeared threatening to destroy everything. At that moment, to save the world from destruction, 9 Heroes known as the Nine Miracles appeared. Thanks to their power, these Heroes managed to thwart the catastrophe, although the Mana did not return to its former abundance. However, a very particular story is told. It is believed that in the place where the 9 miracles converged to prevent the world's destruction, a White Comet was born, and if it were to be found, the world could regain the Mana it once had. From here begins the adventure of Resna, a poor apprentice Alchemist, who, along with her childhood friend Izana, is determined to find the source of Mana, called the “World End”, to restore alchemy to its former glory! There will be no shortage of other alchemists from various series; right from the start, we will encounter Ryza, Rorona, Marlone, Shallistera, and many other alchemists who can't wait to join our adventure! If you are a fan of the Atelier series, you absolutely cannot miss this new chapter!

What is Atelier Resleriana?

"Atelier Resleriana" is a new Turn-Based Gacha game that remains true to the Atelier series. In this new chapter, the protagonist is named Resna, and like all the other protagonists, she is an Alchemist! As in every Atelier game, our characters will go into battle to gather items, return to the Atelier to utilize Alchemy, and ultimately create powerful objects! Regarding the aspect of battles, each character has a different role (Attacker, Breaker, Defender, and Supporter) and a different element (Fire, Thunder, Wind, and Ice as Magical Elements & Slash, Strike, and Pierce as Physical Elements). Creating a party that is in harmony between roles and elements is essential to effectively face battles in the game! As for the content, the game offers various PvE elements. The Main Story is on par with console game stories, featuring animated cutscenes, full voice acting, and loads of fun. Additionally, battles are integral to the Main Story. There is also the Atelier that presents numerous recipes for creating items and equipment! Daily dungeons are available where you can obtain Exp, Coins, Memory Materials, etc. As you progress in the game, you will unlock Dungeons and battles against formidable bosses! Moreover, there will be plenty of events and new characters to further expand the game!

Game Content

Main Story

The “Main Story” is the focal point of the entire game. Through the story, we will learn more about Resna, Alchemy, and the Mana of this world. All stages in the Main Story do not cost Stamina and provide some rewards, in addition to unlocking all the game's features. If we encounter difficulty completing a specific stage during the Main Story, we can always wait to strengthen our characters and try again when we have upgraded our party!

Atelier

In the “Atelier” we will be able to perform three of the game's main functions.

Synthesis

• Certainly the most important of all. Synthesis allows us to create increasingly rare items, equipment with different bonuses (random based on whom we choose as assistance during synthesis), and consumable items for battle (to heal our characters or damage enemies, etc.). The higher our characters' levels, the more likely an item will be rare! Synthesis consumes Mana, which recharges over time (or through gems).

Convert

• With the Convert function, we can obtain "Shiny Coins" to exchange in the shop for various items (Orbs, Cole, and undoubtedly the most important, the Sacred Orb, necessary to unlock the Ex Board).

Research

• Using the Research function, we can conduct studies that will earn us passive bonuses both in battle and during item synthesis. Research incurs a cost in Cole. The higher the research level, the higher the Cole cost.

Quest

The “Quests” are divided into two main subgroups.

Training Quests

• These quests are always available and allow us to obtain various items based on the chosen quest

• Exp = In this battle, we will face a group of monsters weak to magic. Defeating them all will yield a large number of Exp points for the team, as well as Exp Items.

• Power Up Dew = In this battle, we will face a group of monsters weak to physical attacks. Defeating them will grant items that increase Memory Exp.

• Cole = In this battle, we will face a single boss. Defeating it will earn us a significant amount of Cole.

• Orbs = Here, we can obtain Orbs of the color we need based on the chosen dungeon.

• Pieces = Here, we can obtain Shards of our characters. 

Additionally, every day, we will have increased drops for the first three times we complete an Exp, Power Up Dew, or Orbs quest! All quests have a Stamina cost.

Material Quests

These quests are divided into two parts:

Score Battle

• Depending on the score we achieve, we will obtain items for synthesis.

Dungeons

• In dungeons, it will be possible to obtain materials to create different types of synthesis. Completing dungeons will be essential for progressing in synthesis and improving the items we can create.

Characters & Memoria

Character

Any “Character” in Atelier Resleriana is born with a Rarity (from 1 to 3 stars) but all the Characters in the game can reach the maximum Rarity of 5 Stars! Increasing the level and unlocking more stats is the core of the game, so your character can become stronger. Let’s see how to make your Characters stronger and analyze all their stats, roles and abilities. 

Roles

• Attacker = The “Attackers” are good at dealing damage (both single and AoE). You always want at least 1 Attacker in your team, playing in a good combo with Breaker to kill the enemies in the stage.

• Breaker = Breakers are good at destroying enemies Shield with Stun abilities. Once they destroy it, Attackers can kick in and deal great damage! Always put at least 1 Breaker in your team to improve your team damage

• Defender = The Defenders are good at taking damage and drawing enemies aggro. They often come with protection skills that lower damage to the party.

• Supporter = The Supporters are perfect at Buffing or Healing teammates, providing sustain, Buffing or Debuffing abilities etc. Supporters are always welcome in any party.

Character Stats

• M.DEF = Reduce damage taken from Magical Attacks

Skills

Board

• The “Board” lets you consume “Orb” of various colors to increase Stats and unlock more Level Cap.

Awakening

• With “Awakening” you can consume Character Shards to improve their Stats and Skill. This also improve their rarity (up to 5 Stars)

Memoria

The “Memoria” is a Special Equipment for our Character that increases Stats and also gives some special effects while equipped. Similar to Characters, Memoria must also be leveled up and unlocked.
