Etheria Restart Currencies Explained: Crystals, Tickets, Stamina, and What Each One Is For​

Etheria Restart runs on a small set of core currencies: Hydra Crystals, two ticket types, stamina (Stability), and some long‑term shops like Anima Crystal Points. Knowing what each is for stops you wasting premium resources on low‑value pulls or stamina sinks.​​

Hydra Crystals – premium “do everything” currency

Hydra Crystals are the premium currency used for almost all high‑value actions.​

• Main uses:
  • Convert into gacha tickets: 100 Crystals for one Anima Prototype (standard pulls), 300 Crystals for one Apex Prototype (Light/Dark and supreme banners).​​
  • Refresh Stability (stamina): each refill grants a chunk of Stability up to 10 times per day, which top players recommend using aggressively until around account level 40–50 to accelerate progression.​​
  • Occasionally buy high‑value items in shops or events (limited packs, gear, or bundles).​

Beginner spending guides stress: use Hydra mainly on Stability refills early, then on Anima tickets for long‑term banners; avoid blowing 3,000 Crystals per 10‑pull on expensive Apex banners unless you are very invested in a specific Light/Dark unit.​

Tickets – Anima and Apex Prototypes

Tickets are how you actually pull on banners; they are more efficient than spending raw Crystals.​

• Anima Prototypes (red tickets):
  • Used on standard and most rate‑up banners (original elements).​
  • Cost 100 Hydra Crystals each if bought directly, but are also awarded from quests, events, Hyperlink Charter, Arena, Union shops, and achievements.​​
• Apex Prototypes (blue tickets):
  • Used on Light Judgement, Extre‑Affinity, and other supreme/Light–Dark banners.​​
  • Cost 300 Hydra Crystals each and are much rarer, mainly coming from events, Hyperlink Charter, and competitive modes like Summit Arena shops.​​

For F2P and low spenders, most guides recommend: save Apex for extremely high‑impact banners later; spend Anima on strong standard/rate‑up banners with good pity instead.​

Stability – stamina and how it regenerates

Stability is Etheria Restart’s stamina; almost all combat content consumes it.​

• Regeneration: 1 Stability every 5 minutes while under your cap, which means about 288 Stability per day if you do not sit capped.​
• Cap growth: starts around 101 and increases one‑to‑one with account level, so pushing level also increases daily effective stamina.​​
• Bonus Stability: levelling up gives a chunk equal to your new cap; events and items like Mental Stabilizers add fixed 100‑Stability chunks you can bank and use during 2× drop events.​

Optimal use is to keep Stability low enough that regen never pauses, use Crystals for up to 10 refills per day early on, and burn both natural and static Stability on high‑value stages (investigations, module/shell farms, banner‑linked events).​

Anima Crystal Points and other shop currencies

Beyond Crystals and tickets, several slower currencies fuel shop purchases and long‑term dupes.​​

• Anima Crystal Points: a universal shop currency earned from events, Hyperlink Charter milestones, and PvP shops; used in the Animus Shop to buy SR/SSR dupe copies instead of pulling for them.​​
• PvP / Summit Arena currency: points from Summit Arena runs buy free Anima and Apex Prototypes and other premium items, making regular PvP participation valuable even if you are not chasing rank.​​
• Event currencies: limited coins (like “candy” in launch events) exchanged for Crystals, tickets, Stabilizers, and upgrade mats; pairing these with Stability/Crystal refills maximises event returns.​

These currencies are slower to earn but let you backfill dupes and tickets without touching Hydra, so they are especially important for F2P accounts.​​

Practical priorities for each currency

Putting it together, experienced players recommend the following order of operations.

• Hydra Crystals:
  • Early: prioritise Stability refills and Anima tickets; avoid Apex until your main team is strong.​​
  • Later: mix refills with targeted Anima pulls on high‑value banners and occasional Apex for truly broken Light/Dark units.​
• Tickets:
  • Spend free Anima from missions/events first, then Crystals → Anima on good pity banners.​
  • Hoard Apex from events/PvP for future Light/Dark or Extre‑Affinity banners.​​
• Stability:
  • Stay below cap so regen never stops, dump refills into Charter‑aligned content and best investigation/farm stages, and save big Stabilizer items for 2× drop events.​

Use currencies this way and Etheria Restart’s economy becomes far more manageable, letting you progress quickly, maintain high Stability usage, and still have enough tickets for strong banners without feeling forced into bad Crystal sinks.
