Strengthening Fellows

Making Your Fellows Stronger
There are various ways to strengthen fellows in Anime Warriors, it provides a sense of uniqueness and dedication to your fellows. The strengthening methods are: leveling up the fellow and leveling up skills, increasing their upgrade level (+x), increasing their star count, training, sacrificing, awakening, and ruin jade. Fellows are also indirectly strengthened by the level of your Wards.

Leveling Up
There are two ways to level up a fellow. 1) Use the fellow in combat. Battle Mode and different daily game modes typically provide 25 or 50 exp. 2) Use EXP fruits. EXP fruits can obtained from Battle Mode and from the Miao Kiyama daily mission. NOTE: a fellow's maximum level is equal to your account level. The amount of EXP needed to level up increases with each level. For example, going from 1 to 2 takes 20 EXP and going from 49 to 50 takes 21285 EXP. The maximum level each of your fellows skills and sacrifice levels are allowed to reach are the same as their level.

I.E. a level 5 unit can have all unlocked skills at a maximum of level 5. The amount of coins needed to level up a skill increases with its level, and leveling up a skill takes SP points which recover 1 every 5 minutes. For example, it takes 2200 coins to increase a skill from 1 to 2 and 61343 coins to increase a skill from 49 to 50. Once sacrificing is unlocked at level 20, the maximum sacrifice level is also the fellow's level.

Upgrade Level
Upgrade level is denoted with a "+x" at the end of a units name, for example "Straw Hat+2". Increasing upgrade level takes 2 things, Train and an upgrade item. Upgrading increases a fellows PHY POW, MAG, and Life points as well as unlocking new skills.

Train is obtained from the daily activity called "adventure" and the upgrade item can be forged on a fellow's upgrade menu. You have the option of three enemy lineups to fight to loot an upgrade fragment, each fight consumes 10 stamina and has roughly a 50% chance to drop a fragment. Stamina recovers 1 every 10 min, so 100 min to loot once. 100 stamina can be purchased initially for 40 diamonds. If you have looted one of the lineups successfully once you can instantly use the rest of your stamina with the "1 key loot" button. Upgrading to +5 requires that the fellow be at level 50. Depending on the type of unit different upgrade items are used. If two units share the same upgrade item you can loot them from that unit's menu and use it to upgrade the other unit.

Star Up
Each fellow has a star count that can be seen under their icon or on top of their card in the fellow menu. B and A rank units typically start with 1 or 2 stars, S rank units typically start with 2 stars, and SS rank units typically start with 3 stars. There are exceptions to this rule.

To increase a fellow's star level you must collect their summoning stones and use them on that fellow's "Upgrade" or "Skill" menu. Summon stones can be bought at the shop in packs of 1 or 5 with various currencies, obtained from Elite levels in Battle Mode, or from the Vegeta daily mission. They can also be obtained as rewards or from special events. Increasing a fellow's star level will increase their stat growth and other strength factors.

Training
Training is a way to increase a fellow's MAG Armor, Max HP, PHY Armor, and either MAG Armor Pierce or PHY Armor Pierce, depending on the fellow. There are 3 train options: When you train a fellow, the four stats listed above will get an RNG change. Some will increase, some will decrease, and if you're lucky they could all increase. If you like the changes and want to apply them hit "replace," if you don't like them just leave the menu or train again to get a new set of RNG changes. If you train again without hitting replace the changes you saw are not applied. (Note: if all four receive a positive change from train you are forced to accept that train, but if even 1 of them receives a negative change you have the option of keeping or retraining.)

Sacrifice
Sacrificing is one of the most potent upgrade methods, meaning it has a large impact on a fellow's total POW rating. Each fellow has 6 sacrifice trees that are unique to it, and they are unlocked as follows: Each sacrifice tree can be leveled up to the level of the fellow. In order to level up each tree, you must sacrifice any fellow's stones that you have or special sacrifice items called Soul Stones.

The first 37 sacrifice levels take 5 soul, sacrifice levels 38-41 take 10 soul, levels 42 to 46 take 15 soul, and levels 47-? take 20 soul. Note: each of the six sacrifice trees has its own level. Pick the ones that most important to you until you have enough stones to be able to level all of them up. Pick wisely between sacrificing stones and using them to summon/star up fellows.

Awakening
Awakening a unit is unlocked at level 50. Units that can awake have a 5th skill and an awake skill that can be leveled up.

Each level of Awakening has 8 stages. To increase a stage you must equip the necessary awaken articles and pay the necessary amount of MAG Crystals. The necessary amount increases with each stage.

More information about leveling up Awakening will be posted upon discovery.

Ruin Jade
A fellow's Ruin Jade level uses items called "Pieces" to increase. Each Ruin Jade level increases a units Power, AGI, INT, and VIT by a set percentage. Note: the indicated EXP is EXP needed from the previous level, not total EXP.

A fellow's maximum Ruin Jade level is determined by their Star level times 3. For example, a 2 star unit can get to Ruin Jade 6, and a 3* unit can get to Ruin Jade 9, and a 4* unit can get to Ruin Jade 12.
