Tips & Tricks
Prioritize Hardest Floor
You can choose which stage to start on first for each trial. After completing one stage, the next stage will be more difficult so try to complete the stage with the hardest enemies first.
Check The Enemies Before Selecting A Team
Every stage has specific elements that would be more advantageous to use. Make sure that the team you will use suits the potion and the enemies that you will be facing.
Raise Difficulty To Increase Score
You'll only want to increase the difficulty if you want to attain more points. You can still get Gold Medals with the Accurate Sample difficulty.
Characters Cannot Be Used Consecutively
Characters will be on standby after you use them for one stage. Be sure to have a second team prepared or use the trial characters provided for in the trial.
Use Potions Strategically
▲ Potions can only be used once per stage unless you reset the trial.
You'll want to pick the best potions that gives the most benefit to your team. Try to save the yellow potions for future stages since the difficulty increases and can be helpful in clearing those stages.
Save Records
You are given the option to save your record or not. You can omit to save if you your score is low or if you want to fix something in your team or potion loadout.
Reset Trial
Resetting the trial will reset all progress, scores, potions, standby characters. This is useful if you want to refresh your attempts, consumed potions, and team composition.
