In this game, the story will progress as you clear Missions (battle stages).

You'll gain more party members as you progress through the game.

Players can have a maximum of 4 characters, known as Units*, in their party and deploy them for Missions.

During Missions, you'll control one Unit at a time. The other Units will act independently.

You can also switch between Units during battle.

When starting a Mission, a main objective will appear.
If there are multiple main objectives during a Mission, the next main objective will be shown once you clear the current one.
Missions are completed once you clear all main objectives.

There are also sub objectives available during Missions. While optional, completing these will net you additional items or experience.

Unit Abilities are unique special effects that each Unit possesses.

Some of these effects are triggered continuously during Missions. Others take effect after certain conditions are met.

By growing your parameters, various characteristics of these effects will be strengthened.

Sigil Effects are connected to Spirit Levels and bestow strengthening effects to the entire party.

A Sigil Effect's contents will change depending on the Strategy Scroll equipped.

Normal Attacks are combo attacks with little time in between strikes.

While their ATK is rather low compared to Chains, they're great for starting combos or gaining Zeal.

Chains are skills unique to each Unit, and new ones are added by completing certain Missions. Chains consume Zeal and have high ATK and buff effects. They also have various other effects, such as targeting a wider range of enemies or strengthening a Unit for a certain amount of time.

When you trigger Special Attacks with combos, they become longer combo attacks unique to the Unit. If they connect from normal attacks, they'll become one-off variations of that attack.

Compared to Normal Attacks, Special Attacks allow you to perform stronger attacks unique to the Unit, such as long-range attacks. However, because the Zeal recovered is minimal, it's best to use them in tandem with normal attacks and dodges.

Units will learn this ability after reaching a certain level.

By maxing out your Zeal* via defeating enemies, you can trigger a Final Strike. Each Final Strike is unique to each Unit, such as dealing an incredible amount of damage to enemies, or healing yourself and your allies.

You can use Sen obtained during Missions to acquire various items, such as Scrolls, Outfits, and Strategy Scrolls.

There are also Standard-Quality, Mid-Quality, and High-Quality types in Equipment Upgrade.
From here, various types of equipment can be obtained.

You can upgrade equipment one at a time, or even 10 times at once.

There are Free Missions available that you can play outside of the main story.

Many of these Missions provide the opportunity to acquire Sen and Bonus Points (BP),
which are required to strengthen a Unit's stats.

Different types of Free Missions will become available as you progress through the main story.

By meeting certain conditions in the game, you'll be able to acquire items, such as BGMs you can set during Missions, and colorful Outfits you can equip for your Units.

Network features allow you to play cooperatively with up to 4 users online.

Joining a Room

• You can join a network room as a guest.

Stickers are a means of communication in online multiplayer that users can set at any time during Missions.

• Each Unit has various stickers. Use them to have some fun while you play!
