Resonance Solstice is one of the more unique new gacha RPGs of 2025, blending train management, a deep trading system, and strategic card-based combat in a post-apocalyptic anime world. Here’s a comprehensive guide to how the gameplay, character roster, and gacha mechanics work, ideal for anyone curious about this ambitious title.

Gameplay Overview

Resonance Solstice puts players in the shoes of a train conductor traveling across a polluted, ruined world. You’ll manage a customizable armored train, set up trading routes, upgrade facilities, and face challenges driven by morphic pollution, all while gathering resources, researching tech, and developing your train.

Key mechanics include:

  • Real-time card battles with five-person teams
  • Complex train/crew management, decorate, upgrade, and personalize your mobile base
  • Trade and resource management: buy low, sell high, gather, and refine materials
  • Pollution system: different areas have unique dangers and story progression barriers
  • Home base: decorate and enhance living quarters as a relaxing activity

Unlike most gacha games, the combat is card-based and highly strategic, but management and trade aspects are just as important. Resource gathering and research feed back into hero/team upgrades, making progression highly interconnected.​

Character Roster

Resonance Solstice features a variety of anime-inspired characters across SSR/SR/R grades. Each has distinct roles and synergy in battle. Sample tier lists name the following:

S-TierA-TierB-TierNotes
MaruhaIlona, YouzukiShizuru, KarenS-tier are optimal for all teams
YejueStella, Rina VonWensheng, AkiraA-tier are strong, easy to build
YerArcana, NayutaLivia, FranB-tier are accessible for new players
JoshuaTennie, von LinneDorothy, HarukaMix high/low rarities for best results

Other notable character picks: Aoba, Shizuru, Stella, Tennie, Caroline (for various roles and synergies).​

Gacha System

The gacha functions much like other top mobile RPGs:

  • Multiple banners offer SSR heroes, crew, costumes, and train upgrades.
  • Pull rates for SSR are low, so rerolling is recommended to secure favorites early.​
  • Currency: Premium currency earned via quests/events or purchased for quicker progression.
  • Unique twist: The best upgrades (and potentially SSR heroes) require significant trading and resource management, this can be slow but rewarding for F2P players.​

Early Game Tips

  • Reroll for top SSR units like Nayuta, Ilona, Maruha, Joshua, Yer, or Yejue to ensure a powerful start​
  • Balance your team between combat prowess and resource management skills.
  • Invest in train upgrades and open new trade routes early for long-term progression.
