How to Get Stronger Fighters in King of Fighters – AllStar

 

King of Fighter ALLSTAR is published and developed by Netmarble and is an officially licensed game loosely based on the same name's PC game franchise. The game takes on a different dynamic than its counterpart and is therefore much more suited towards mobile play. It features extremely satisfying combos, fast-paced real-time matches with strategy-based co-op gameplay. The game is also heavily reliant on card collection and fighter evolution mechanics, which is also needed to get better.

 

Therefore, you need to figure out ways to make your Character Stronger in King of Fighters – AllStar and pummel your enemies to the ground.

 

Leveling Up:

 

Leveling your character up is the primary way to strengthen your characters in the game. Each character has certain base stats assigned as soon as you get them in your inventory. King of Fighters maintains a bit of variety by having pseudo-random base stats. So, there might be a few statistics that are a bit higher if you get a card that is considered a better drop.

 

However, most of the stats for the same level characters are generally the same. Once you level up, you increase stats while also letting you increase your core count. For now, the level cap is at a whopping 90.

 

 

For leveling up efficiently, we recommend using your Fighters as much as you can and performing combos with them as it increases your XP gain drastically. Another way to level them up quicker is by using Power Up materials. However, these are hard to find generally but can be bought if you are in the mood for spending some real-life money.

 

Limit Breaking for Extra Power:

 

As the name suggests, Limit Breaking removes the pre-defined limits set on a Fighter in terms of scalability and how far they can move up the ladder at any point. If you wish to go beyond what a Fighter’s preconceived limits are, you need to use Limit Break on them.

 

To use Limit Break effectively, you need to use two very different forms of currencies. The first one is the primary currency, Gold. The second currency is known as Souls, which you get by completing quests and missions and cannot be purchased from the shop.

 

You need about ten souls per level, which increases to 20, 30, and so on as you keep increasing your max level. There are four different types of souls you get from various places needed to limit break a character in King of Fighters – All-Star. They are as follows:

 

⦁    Specific Char Soul – Secret Shop, Story Mode, Exchange Shop, Dungeons

⦁    KOF Soul – Only available in Events

⦁    Color Soul – Advent Dungeon, Rewards

⦁    Rainbow Soul – Only available in Events

 

 

As you can see, your greatest luck of getting a soul would be the Specific Char Soul. You can grind the Story Mode or go for Dungeons to get them. A very efficient way for you to get Souls is to discard duplicate fighters. These provide you with souls at a terrific rate and involve the most grind out of all of these methods.

 

Skill Trees / Cores:

 

Like other games have Skill Trees, King of Fighters – ALLSTAR has Cores. You can unlock any Special Move and Skill for your character from the Core Tree. You can also level your other skills to increase their attack power. Your Level increases primary Stats such as attack power. However, secondary stats such as Crit Dmg, Penetration Rate, Crit Rate, CD Reduction, and Combo Duration can be upgraded in this particular menu.

 

 

You can unlock more cores as you level up and develop a better sense of the game. You can always respect your character if you are not satisfied with how your build is going. However, this costs many resources, so we recommend either sticking to your spec or thinking twice before you make a rash decision that ends up costing you in the future.

 

Boost Cards:

 

As soon as you hit Rank 15, you can start equipping your Boost Cards that have been lying around dormant for a while. These can either be temporary or permanent buffs that help your character's strength. Most of the time, these cards help boost your stats for a specific amount of time. But you do end up getting cards that let you permanently learn another Special Skill in some cases.

 

Battle Cards are a pivotal part of the game, and you can get them throughout missions, rewards, and generally logging in. Do not under-estimate them and try to activate them with a strategy in mind as often as possible as they can single-handedly be the boost you need to help you clear a difficult level with relative ease.

 

Learning Combos:

 

 

Perhaps the best way to strengthen a Fighter without spending any resources is by being more adept with the Fighter’s mechanics in King of Fighters – ALLSTAR. Keep in mind that this game has no auto-battle or auto-pilot feature. So, in the end, it will be you who is dishing out damage in the most efficient way possible.

 

Therefore, it does not hurt you to spend a little bit of time Training and optimizing your Combos, so they deal more damage. As a general rule of thumb, you should know at least 3-4 combos perfectly before you think of other avenues to strengthen your Fighter.

 

Conclusion:

 

King Of Fighters – ALLSTAR is a unique take on the PC classic. Instead of focusing too much on fighting mechanics, the game embraces a balanced mix wherein there are card collection and upgrade elements baked into the game. The rosters of fighters available at your disposal as soon as you log in is quite huge and can be overwhelming for most players.

 

Therefore, it makes sense for you to stick to only one fighter as a primary and develop a team around them that enhances their skills and abilities. As you get better at the game, you can then move onto team composition and other aspects.
