Hello ! I'm Aiiko, nice to meet ya ! *★°*:.☆( ̄▽ ̄):*.°★* 。 I'm an art student in France, I like mangas, anime, videogames and music ! I write a bit but mostly draw my fav fictional husbands! Currently under a Tokyo debunker brain riot
The game doesn't explain its fighting system well enough, and with how low the summoning rates are, it totally feels like it's Pay-to-win. But as a ftp player myself, I'm here to tell you it's possible! It does take a while to pile up, but once it does, it's a total avalanche.
my credentials:
Topics covered:
Leveling up, team building, resource gathering, nightmare raids
First and foremost, let's work on building a Main. Choose ➡️ONE⬅️ SSR card to be your primary fighter. Having one strong card will do better than two smaller ones! So pick ONE!!
Once you've picked, you can dump everything you have into LEVEL and POTENTIAL.
This one is mine! I've been playing for a couple years, so I had the resources to switch my main, and then to start building a second main with whatever I'd maxed out on the first.
-->click the "skills" button and take note if your card is S or P for later.
If you have your card's matching Warding card, equip it now and upgrade its POTENCY, LEVEL, and SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES. Your warding card gives a huge boost to power, and when it matches, you get an additional Link Bonus that increases with upgrades. AWAKENING the warding card really helps, so I recommend awakening it fully!
If you do Not have the matching warding, it might be better to wait until you can get it first.
Tools:
There are three kinds of tools. Perfume, Brooch, and Accessory. The Accessory is different depending on the card you have. Through Galaxy missions, you can obtain up to A level equipment. Only R+ can be upgraded.
For R+, you need to go to Mr Mo's Mines. I recommend only summoning when there is an event that rewards you for summoning here. Otherwise, you are not guaranteed to earn anything from it.
-->equipment Grade is more important than its Level, but I would still recommend saving for higher quality if possible.
When leveling them up, here's what you should prioritize based on your card.
For P Attackers: Perfume>>Accessory>>Brooch
For S Attackers: Brooch>>Accessory>>Perfume
Gemstones:
There are 10 different kinds of gemstones. If you press the "?" Button and scroll down far enough, it will tell you what they all do, and then you'll figure out that the ones with weird names just help 2 stats and aren't actually that complicated.
In battles, you do not attack very often. So, you want to maximize Attack per hit and Defense for between hits.
For P attackers: Warding-->HP, P ATK, Strength or ATK. Perfume--> S DEF, P DEF, HP. Other--> same as warding
For S attackers: Warding-->HP, S ATK, Intelligence or ATK. Brooch-->S DEF, P DEF, HP. Other--> same as warding
of course, you can switch it up a bit depending on your needs, but this is what I've got.
Gemstones can be bought up to Level 9, and then can be upgraded up to 15 in your equip menu. Do your Warding's gems first.
Pets:
You can get SSR pets from the Nightmare events. These can be upgraded by sacrificing your other pets. Other pets come from Eggs at varying levels, but they should only be used as placeholders until you can get an SSR to upgrade.
➡️TEAM BUILDING⬅️
Once again, mine's gonna look a little different because I have enough for a Secondary.
But oh my gosh, do NOT just use the Optimize button. It is NOT optimal.
Here's the Team menu. If you press and hold on any of these characters, their Skills menu will pop up.
Based off of your cards' skills, you should arrange them in a way that gives your Main an advantage.
In the first few Squads, I recommend using extra damage skills, like Curse and Poison.
Right before your Main, I'd put a couple Sleep or Stun cards.
Right after your Main, but as many Guards as you have.
If your Main's skill has a skill that, for example, does extra damage to Cursed enemies, put a bunch of Curse cards right before it. Mine have Endurance, so I did not put anything special in front of them.
If you have extra cards, you should use a shrunken version of this logic to have extra teams for Guild Battles as that is the only place you can use them.
➡️RESOURCE GATHERING⬅️
Once your teams are ready, head over to Arena. Here is where your primary income of Gems and Pyramids will come from. It rewards you for your rank every 24 hours. Gem prizes can be anything up to ~300 daily.
If you want a better chance at winning, maybe take a quick glance at the other players's team. You don't need to examine it, but checking their Main and will give a better idea of their power than their Total power.
Also, if they have their main at the very top, they probably used the "optimize" button on their teams... your chance of winning is 80%.
Now, go do your daily tasks. You will earn most supplies from Investigations. Doing your dailies will also reward you 150 gems + whatever you get from reaching the Active Bonus.
You also have things like Chests(inventory), Guild Points(guild), Feathers(pheonix exchange), and Silver Coins(arena). You can use these for extra supplies as needed.
➡️NIGHTMARE RAIDS⬅️
The last place to get supplies from is Nightmare. These happen twice per day, and are team events. The most notable resources from Nightmare are Gapples, Pink coins, and Gem shards.
I only login once per day, and it's during this time. You don't have to do both raids, and you don't have to do raids daily. They get frustrating, I know, but they are useful.
Most players do raids within the first couple minutes of Nightmare opening, but there are some strays afterwards. I do recommend friending some people to do raids with if you need to, but doing it with strangers works as well. I'm pretty sure the top raid's power is about the equivalent of 3 ftp players who've been doing their dailies consistently, so you should be fine.
➡️➡️For Nightmare, it will tell you the raid's power. BUT, if you have THREE PLAYERS in your room, you ONLY need a combined power of ~70% of the raid.⬅️⬅️
If you still can't beat them, try again at a lower one. Some resources is better than none.
Also, being defeated once does not mean you can never beat that raid. Similarly to Arena and Galaxy, since the attacks are directed randomly, the result is highly based in chance.
Unsuccessful attempts do not count towards your Key count, so feel free to try again. I especially have to retry a lot when I'm by myself, even if I have more power than the raid I'm doing.
That's about everything! If you have questions, please ask. I'm not very active, but I'll get to it when I see it.
Haku, Rui, and anyone else you think fits for this prompt.
MC who doesn’t usually respond to flirting. Most of the time the ghouls just get a warm smile or something like that.
but once one a blue moon, MC will hit them with the most flirtatious comeback ever that it leaves the ghoul stuttering and looking like a tomato!
I luv u and hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
Oooo okay! I personally am not the best at flirting but we’ll see how this goes!
Once In A Blue Moon
Featured ghouls: Haku Kusanagi and Rui Mizuki
🌸—————————————————🌸
Haku Kusanagi:
Haku liked teasing you because your reactions were usually subtle in the cutest ways possible. You weren’t dramatic or openly argumentative; instead, your embarrassment came quietly, in softened eyes and the tiny twitch at the corner of your lips and the way you’d avoid looking directly at him for a few seconds too long. Haku found it endlessly entertaining.
“Princess,” he drawled lazily one afternoon as he leaned across the back of the couch behind you, “if you keep looking this pretty while I’m trying to relax, I’m gonna have to file a complaint.”
You barely glanced up from your phone. “To who?”
“No idea. God, maybe.”
“You think god can help you?”
“No,” Haku admitted easily. “But maybe he'll at least sympathize with me.”
That earned him the familiar smile he liked so much: warm, helplessly amused, fond enough to make his chest feel strangely light. Haku grinned back, entirely satisfied with himself.
The thing was, he never really expected you to flirt back. You always let him talk, always indulged him with that patient sweetness of yours, but you rarely ever threw the teasing back in his direction. Which meant Haku had gotten comfortable. Confident, even.
Then one evening, while helping Zenji with filming equipment, Haku wandered into the common room and found you sitting cross-legged on the floor sorting through cables.
“Princess,” he sighed dramatically, dropping down beside you, “you’re working too hard. C’mere and let me spoil you for a bit.”
You didn’t look up. “Spoil me how?”
“Hm.” He pretended to think about it. “Lap pillow? Head pats? Maybe I’ll even hold your hand if you ask nicely.”
“Only my hand?”
Haku paused.
Slowly, you looked over at him.
Your expression was completely composed. Calm. Curious. But your eyes sparkled with just enough amusement to make his stomach flip instinctively before his brain even caught up.
"You know," you teased, scooting closer, "you didn’t have to play hard to get. You could’ve just asked."
Haku froze so hard he almost dropped the camera battery in his hand.
“…What?”
You blinked at him innocently. “Did I say something weird?”
He stared at you in stunned silence while the words replayed in his head approximately fifty times.
You didn’t have to play hard to get.
You could’ve just asked.
Haku Kusanagi, owner of the so-called devilish charm, experienced the deeply humbling sensation of his entire brain short-circuiting.
His face turned red first. Then his ears.
Meanwhile, you simply returned to untangling the cables like you hadn’t just shattered his composure into microscopic pieces.
“You can’t do that,” Haku said finally, voice quieter than usual.
“Do what?”
“Flirt back.”
A small smile appeared on your face. “Why not?”
“Because now I’m nervous.”
That finally made you laugh properly, bright and soft and unfairly cute, and Haku pressed a hand over his face with a groan.
“Oh, you’re enjoying this.”
“Maybe a little.”
“You’re supposed to be the normal one,” he muttered.
You leaned slightly closer then, just enough for him to catch the faint scent of your shampoo, and Haku immediately forgot how breathing worked.
“Maybe you bring out a different side of me, Haku.”
He made a sound that was somewhere between a cough and a whimper.
And when you stood up afterward and walked away carrying the cables, Haku remained sitting on the floor staring after you with burning cheeks while Zenji floated into the room, took one look at him, and immediately burst out laughing.
🌙 ————————————————— 🌙
Rui Mizuki:
Rui flirted with everyone the same way the sun touched every window on campus: casually, warmly, persistently. A wink here, a hand to the small of someone’s back there, a dramatic sigh about how cruel it was that no one appreciated his beauty enough. Most people either rolled their eyes or laughed him off, and you—well. You usually just smiled at him. Soft, amused, patient. The kind of smile that made him pause for half a second longer than he intended before continuing on with whatever nonsense he’d been saying.
“Cutie,” Rui called from where he was sprawled upside down across the sofa, blond hair nearly brushing the floor as he peered at you with theatrical suffering, “I cleaned Edward’s room again today. If you value my poor overworked heart at all, I deserve a reward.”
You looked up from the book in your lap. “A reward?”
“Yes. Preferably one involving affection. Perhaps a kiss to heal my wounds.”
“You survived.”
“Barely.”
You laughed quietly, shaking your head, and Rui grinned in triumph because making you laugh always felt like winning something precious. Most of the time, that was as far as it went. He’d toss you another line, you’d smile at him with that fond little expression of yours, and the game would continue exactly as it always had.
That was why Rui wasn’t prepared when he wandered into the kitchen at two in the morning and found you standing by the counter in one of his oversized sweaters, sleeves swallowing your hands as you stared sleepily into a mug of tea.
He leaned against the doorway immediately, because of course he did. “Cutie,” he sighed dramatically, “you know, it’s terribly irresponsible of you to look this adorable while everyone else is trying to survive around here.”
Usually you’d duck your head. Usually you’d smile and mumble something under your breath.
Instead, you lifted your eyes to him over the rim of your mug, expression calm and unreadable.
"If I turn around, are you going to stop staring, or just keep doing it?"
Silence.
Actual silence.
Rui blinked once.
Twice.
You took another sip of tea while he continued staring at you as if his soul had just temporarily exited his body.
“I— excuse me?” he managed finally, voice cracking in a way you had never heard before in your life.
You tilted your head innocently. “Hm? Was I wrong?”
Rui Mizuki, the shameless flirt of Darkwick, the man who could sweet-talk his way through almost anything without so much as blinking, suddenly looked catastrophically flustered. Pink spread across his cheeks so fast it was almost impressive, and he straightened from the doorway too quickly, nearly catching himself on the frame.
“You can’t just say things like that,” he sputtered.
A tiny smile tugged at your mouth. “You do.”
“That’s different.”
“How?”
“Because—” Rui stopped entirely, visibly scrambling for composure. “Because I’m supposed to be the charming one here.”
You hummed thoughtfully. “Maybe I got tired of letting you win.”
The smile you gave him afterward was devastatingly gentle, like you hadn’t just completely obliterated him in under thirty seconds.
Rui covered his face with one hand.
“Oh, this is evil,” he groaned weakly. “You’re evil. I take back every nice thing I’ve ever said about you.”
“But you’ll say more later.”
“…Probably.”
And the worst part—the absolute worst part—was the quiet little laugh you gave after saying it, because Rui knew then that you had done it entirely on purpose, and somehow that only made his heart beat harder.
