F2P Currency Earning Tips
- Daily logins: Always claim your daily rewards for crystals and loot cards.
- Story mode: Every chapter clear and star milestone gives crystals and free summon tickets.
- Challenge mode: Finish simulations and boss battles daily for loot currency and upgrade notes.
- Event quests & banners: Participate in limited events for signal anchors and premium prism lenses.
- Leveling: Raising character levels unlocks bulk currency and summon rewards.
Spending Guide: Maximizing Value
- Crystals: Focus on limited banners with strongest rate-up units, don’t waste on standard pools unless farming collection stars.
- Anchors & Prism Lens: Use on special banners and event-exclusive units; stockpile for upcoming meta units.
- Zeronium & Policy Points: Spend on resources in shops/Battle Pass (Arkhianon Supply) for upgrade cards and gear.
- Loot Cards, Research Notes, Security Codes: Prioritize enhancement, gear, or character unlocks. Save for event-exclusive shop rotations.
Pro tip: Never waste daily capped energy. Always use Aether, recovery items, and food buffs before reset for bonus loot/currency.
Cash Shop and Premium Currency
- First-Time Value Packs: Doubled for first purchase; best value for premium pulls.
- Battle Pass: Offers unique partner/dragon selector and a premium resource stream.
- Conversion rates: Standard conversion is 160 crystals per summon (not the common 150), so plan purchases accordingly.
