What is OVR?
Indicator of Player Strength
OVR is a numerical value that represents a player's strength and is an abbreviation for Overall. When main stats such as Power and Velocity increase by a total of 6, OVR increases by 1. Increasing sub-stats' potential will not raise OVR.
Team OVR is the Average Lineup Value
Team OVR is displayed up to the first decimal place of the average OVR of the players in the lineup. Also, the second decimal place and below are truncated. For example, if the OVR of a player in the lineup is 60.19, the displayed OVR will be 60.1.
How to Increase OVR
Collect Prime or Higher Rarity Players
To increase OVR, it is necessary to collect high-rarity players such as Prime, Moment, and Signature who have high performance in each position. High-rarity players can be obtained not only from gacha but also through consistent play in various events and the Crafting Station.
Rank Up to Increase Player Rarity
With Rank Up, you can increase the rarity of existing Special cards. Also, since you can raise the rarity of any player through Key Player Development, everyone can obtain the highest rarity Signature cards by playing long-term.
Focus on Developing Lineup Players

To increase the OVR of an existing team, the basic method is to develop lineup players. Since player development methods are diverse and development materials are limited, it is necessary to develop players systematically.
Significant Increase from Deck Score

Buffs obtained from Team Deck Score and Special Deck Score can significantly increase the team's OVR. While individual player OVR is important, it's also viable to form a lineup with players who have high Deck Scores to aim for buff acquisition.
Increase OVR by Activating Synergy

Synergy allows you to obtain an OVR buff if players in your lineup meet the activation conditions based on rarity. Review your existing lineup and try to form a team with player cards that easily activate synergy.
