How to Improve and Upgrade your Characters and Equipment in Princess Connect! Re: Dive

 

Princess Connect! Re: Dive is the latest game by Crunchyroll that has taken the gaming world by storm. The game features characters from the iconic Anime and beautiful intricate graphics and visuals that have captivated their audience. The game has been downloaded over 100,000 times, and the numbers do not seem to be stopping any time soon.

 

Just like any other Gacha game, Princess Connect! Re: Dive revolves around you upgrading your character and strengthening your equipment at particular times so you can have a chance of facing off against enemy mobs and bosses who get increasingly difficult to deal with overtime. 

 

Maxing your Skills:

 

 

Your first order of business when trying to improve your character in Princess Connect! Re: Dive should always be to maximize your efficiency with skill levels. Whether you think a skill is good or not does not really matter as every skill will deal with some kind of impact in dungeon raids and bigger battles.

 

Moreover, while you might think skill is not as useful as it looks like, it might serve a niche purpose which you might not know about. Therefore, instead of messing up at those particular moments and regretting not having upgraded that skill, you should always keep a lookout and max out your skills as soon as possible.

 

As soon as you get to a higher level, you should start investing in equipment and your overall character level. Keep in mind that skill levels generally are linearly upgraded with your character levels. So, they scale with your rank. The one important advantage you get with upgrading your skills earlier is that they will end up costing less and will be scaled up for free as you increase your character level.

 

We recommend that you save up on Mana when you complete your main Quests and hit Dungeons. If you are still running short, you can always buy some Mana from the Mana Exchange, but this is not recommended for free to play players who need to save every gem they can get for items they cannot get anywhere else.

 

Start Doing Character Quests:

 

Princess Connect! Re: Dive has a mechanic known as Bond Level. Improving your Character Stats without spending a lot of time or resources can only be done by increasing your Bond level. As soon as you level your character up, the game unlocks a new chapter in the story's main plotline around that character.

 

These stories are featured from the Anime, and viewing those will give you permanent bonus stats for that particular character. This particular mechanic is not known to many players, which means you might be missing out on many free stats that you can avail yourself of right now.

 

 

If you are not interested in reading the story, you can skip the scenes and dialogues and get the same rewards. After finishing each chapter, you will get 20 gems, which is quite a respectable amount, especially for free to play players who need all the help they can get.

 

The maximum amount of stat bonuses you can get for a character is only dictated by the maximum bond level you can achieve with them. Generally, you can expect a 10-20% stat boost from reading chapters, which can let you clear some quests that you could not before.

 

Refine your Equipment To Clear Hard Levels:

 

Equipment Refinement is perhaps the most confusing and under-used mechanic in Princess Connect! Re: Dive. The mechanic lets you increase your equipment's stats, which is instantly removed as soon as you level or rank up. This caveat means that most players do not upgrade their equipment to the max level simply because they do not feel like it is worth it, as they will eventually rank up and lose all their refinements.

 

However, in most cases, refinement is necessary to get to a point where you can rank up. If you are stuck on a hard stage, you should start refining your equipment to the maximum possible level to get an even chance of clearing the level.

 

You should not be worried about losing resources in this process as Enhancement Crystals or general Gear is used to refine your items in Princess Connect! Re: Dive. Getting either of these items is extremely easy, which means that you will not be losing out on much. Moreover, Enhancement Crystals are abundantly attained from completing Quests, so there is a high chance that you might get your refined amount back once you complete that hard stage.

 

Try always to keep your equipment refined to be on the safe side as it provides you with a healthy boost and makes the game much easier. Do not refine your equipment at earlier levels as it does not make a significant difference at that point at all.

 

Using Character Ascension To Boost Your Stars:

 

 

Perhaps the most important of a Gacha Game. Princess Connect! Re: Dive employs character ascension like no other. The number of stars a particular unit has is generally representative of base-level stats. So, a higher star level would mean that that character has higher stats as well.

 

It would help if you were ascending characters that you think are viable to take a gander at their true power. Some characters who are 3 stars might actually be stronger than natural 5-6 star characters once they are at the same level. So, if you have a character who you think has an excellent skill-set, ascend them!

 

Conclusion:

 

Princess Connect! Re: Dive has quickly turned into a viral Gacha game that has attracted thousands of individuals. In the pursuit of becoming the best player, most players make the mistake of spending a bit too much on items, equipment, and characters that do not provide them with the best value for money.

 

This guide should help you systematically improve your characters' strengths and will help you understand their limitations. If you are comfortable with a particular character and set of equipment, you should aim to ascend them as soon as possible.
