*Cards



You can obtain new allies by getting new cards.
Cards can be obtained by progressing the story or purchasing them from an in-game vending machine.
There are two types of cards.

-Character Card
These are cards that can participate in Battle.
Detailed information on their abilities is written below.
They become stronger as they gain experience in battle.
The maximum level is 30.

Rarity Displays the rarity of the card.
Type Displays the card type. There are three types: Power, Speed, and Technique.
HP When this value drops to 0 from damage, the character faints.
Attack This value affects the damage dealt to the opponent.
Defense This value affects how much damage is decreased when attacked by the opponent.
Dexterity This value affects the accuracy of attacks.
Speed This value affects the character's evasion.
Luck This value affects an attack's critical rate.


-Item Card
The purpose of these cards is unknown.
It may be revealed as the story progresses.



*Mixdus



As the story progresses, you will obtain access to a vending machine called "Mixdus".
You will not be able to tell which card you will receive when using it.
The types of cards that you have access to will increase as the story progresses.
There may be very rare cards in the machine that rarely come out.

 




*Battle Phase



As you progress in the story, you will encounter enemies and battle them!
Matches are 1 vs 1, and the team that first eliminates all members of the opponent's team wins.
In case of a tie, the player loses.




Below is a description of the flow of battle.

1. Select a character

If there is nobody on the field, you select a character from your party to enter the field.

2. Dice Roll (Gain SP)

By rolling dice, you gain SP equivalent to the number on the dice. SP is used for skills.
Each team starts the battle with 3 SP.
SP does not carry over to the next battle.

3. Actions

An action must be selected each turn.
There are skills that all characters share,
and skills specific to each character.
Common skills do not expend SP.
Common skills are listed below.


Switch Switch with another character.
Defend Defend for the turn, reducing damage taken.
Evade Focus on evasion for the turn, increasing evasion rate.
A successful evasion allows you to avoid all damage.


4. Turns

Each player's character takes an action during a turn.
First move priority is based on the type of action taken. The priority levels are listed below.


Switch > Defend > Evade > Boost > Debuff > Support > Disrupt > Recover > Single Hit > Bullet Rain > Close Combat
If both characters take the same type of action, both act at the same time.


The priority list is very crucial (especially the last three). Remembering it would be very helpful.
If a character's HP drops to 0 after an action, that character will faint.



5. End of Battle

When you win a battle, you will gain EXP and Stars (money).
The same amount of EXP goes to all characters, even if fainted.
If you lost, it will count as a game over and you will return to the main menu.




*Skills



"Skills" refer to commands that characters are able to use.
You can confirm the specifics of each skill by select "View Cards" while on the map screen.


1. List of skills that can be used.
2. The amount of SP each skill expends.
3. The skill's type and descriptive text.


New skills may be learned, or current skills may change when a character levels up.
Don't forget to check your skills every once in a while.

-Skill Types

Boost Increases one's own stats.
Debuff Decreases opponent's stats.
Support Enhances self with special effects.
Disrupt Applies a negative status effect to the opponent.

Single Hit "Single Hit" type attack. Amongst the attack types, it has the highest priority, but somewhat low accuracy.
Bullet Rain "Bullet Rain" type attack. A low power attack with very high accuracy.
Close Combat "Close Combat" type attack. You will always move last, but many attacks of this type are powerful.
Automatic Certain skills will activate their effect when specific conditions are met.



-Type Properties

If more effective, they will deal more damage and have higher accuracy, and the opposite if ineffective.
