Otogi: Spirit Agents – A Complete Beginner's Guide

 

Otogi: Spirit Agents is a turn-based card combat multiplayer online game. The game is developed by Mitama Games HONGKONG Limited and is available on both iOS and Android. The game revolves around Spirits like Titania and Shibuya that are present in ancient Chinese lore as well.

 

Otogi: Spirit Agents have employed famous illustrators from around the world who have designed characters that are both attractive and resemble fantastical characters such as Haruka Tomatsu, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, and much more.

 

In this article, we will talk about everything you need to know to get started with the game. It will be a complete Beginner’s Guide encompassing tips and tricks as well.

 

Best Starter Demons:

 

Knowing what demons are good when you start the game is quite useful. The starter demons that we can recommend simply because of their high base stats are as follows:

 

- Ibaraki Doji

- Okita Soji

- Muramasa

 

The reason these demons are good for beginners is that they have high stat gain and are somewhat cheaper to upgrade as you progress further into Otogi: Spirit Agents.

 

Understanding Your Demon’s Abilities:

 

 

Most demons have abilities that they unlock as you level them up. Usually, these abilities are either passives or are extremely powerful actives. These abilities enhance the previous skills your demons have.

 

Note: Each demon can only have one active skill at one time.

 

A demon can only come from three types:

 

- Phantasm (Red)

- Divina (Blue)

- Anima (Green)

 

For newer players, we recommend choosing Phantasm as a team leader when given the option. Remember that the first demon you choose for your team will turn into the team leader and give the team a 10 percent damage bonus against a particular species.

 

Phantasms are strong against Animas, Divinas are strong against Phantasms, and Animas are strong vs. Divina and vice versa. Knowing this mechanic greatly increases your chance of winning a battle as the ten percent damage buff is quite significant.

 

Reserving Slots:

 

Every draft has two reserve slots. The demons present in your reserve slot will not participate directly or deal with any damage. However, their passive abilities can affect your main demons that are currently fighting.

 

It would be best if you were careful of the terminology used in the wording of all the particular abilities. Usually, passives affect only the demon himself, and there are hardly any global passives.

 

Pure teams are a mechanic that beginner players should always take advantage of. When your entire team is made up of one color, which is the same as your leader, you gain a 2 percent damage bonus.

 

Moreover, when you have the same team color, you gain a pure team bonus that allows you to get bonus damage, extra speed, a higher drop chance, and more soul stones gained.

 

Note: If you are aiming for this bonus, please remember that your reserve demons count too! So, your reserve demons need to have the same color every day.

 

Complete Your Achievements:

 

 

Otogi: Spirit Agents has an intricate achievement system, and completing these various achievements provides you with extra Mochi, the game’s currency throughout the game.

 

You should always donate some cards to the guild to get the donation achievement alongside completing every quest so you can get an exclusive item with a large variety of Mochi.

 

Always do your Daily Dungeons:

 

Daily Dungeons provide you with a Mochi for the first completion of each day. The best dungeons we recommend for newer players are Magtama and the Starter Dungeon.

 

After you’ve grown accustomed to Otogi: Spirit Agents and have learned the game's intricacies, you can always go for the Boss Arise and XP Dungeon. Both of these dungeons have a rare chance for you to acquire a star demon whenever you play them.

 

We recommend players to turn completing the dungeon a part of their daily Otogi routine. Weekly dungeons are also recommended, but they usually are meant for players that have a higher level. If you have a guild/party that is completing them, you can always join in for the ways.

 

Use your Mochi Wisely:

 

Mochi is the in-game currency that can be purchased for real-world currency as well. Therefore, it is generally quite rare for free-to-play players. Mochi is mainly used for two specific things.

 

Firstly, it can be used to buy items and gear for your characters. Mochi can also be used to upgrade your base stats and improve your equipment. Secondly, Mochi can also be used to barter demons.

 

How to Barter Demons:

 

Bartering Demons is a pivotal part of Otogi: Spirit Agents. We recommend that you only barter demons five start plus as they are relatively easy to acquire. You can also acquire Mochi from selling lower-level demons and also by participating in some daily quests.

 

Build a Good Team Composition:

 

 

In Otogi: Spirit Agents, team composition is extremely important. A good team composition usually consists of 2 Melee, 3 Ranged, and 1 Melee. In the second team composition, you can try 3 Ranged, 1 Healer, and 2 Melee.

 

When building a team, you should always focus on all your demon’s abilities to ensure you have the most efficient lineup. Always focus on your global passives as they contribute the most towards your overall damage output.

 

Conclusion:

 

Otogi: Spirit Agents is arguably the best card based multiplayer game available right now on Mobile. The game allows you to compose your lineup of demons and fine-tune them according to your needs and their global active and passive abilities.

 

The game is also known for its wonderful guild system, and the fact that it is filled with exclusive items and rewards makes the game very enjoyable to play for longer durations.

 

Like any other turn-based game, Otogi: Spirit Agents has a lot of grinds involved in it. But, for beginners, the hardest part is getting used to the many nuances of the game.
