Game Content

Main Story

 

 

The “Main Story” is the first content you will unlock in the game. The Main Story features the original Anime Plot, with Anime Cutscene and fully voiced Characters dialogues. In Main Story you can obtain Gear for upgrading your characters, Gems (Summon Currency) and complete special stages called “Lesson” that will teach you tips and tricks in the game, such as how to use your characters skills, Combo etc. You must complete the Main Story to unlock all the side content in the game. Main Story stages usually consume stamina, but some of them are free.

The “Seven Shadow Chronicles” is the second most important content you will unlock in the game.

As game mode, this content provides you your best way to farm essential Gear pieces for improving your character's Rank, while also obtaining Gems for free if you can complete any stage with 3 Stars. Seven Shadow Chronicles stages require stamina, and once you complete them at 3 stars, you can use the “Skip” to directly receive the rewards without playing the stage. Once you finish the Normal Stages, you can also play Hard stages. Hard stages have limited entry x day but they can also drop Character Shards, used to increase your character Rarity.
