Leveling Up is the Most Impactful

Enhancement Details

Level-ups Increase Base Stats

Characters can Level-up by obtaining a certain amount of experience points, which increases their stats. The maximum level cap is Lv.60, but your character levels can never exceed your Voyager Level, so clear various content to raise your Voyager Level, which also increases your character level cap.

How to Level-up Characters Fast

How to Get Experience Points

How to Get Common Exp

Common Exp is commonly obtained as a reward for clearing stages, but you can gather large amounts by clearing “Level-up Training” in "Crossing Worlds".

Rank-ups Unlock New Skills

Rank-ups not only increases stats, but also, every odd Rank-up allows the character to unlock one of two Skills. Note that the required "Rank Medals" do not change based on the character's rarity, so you should generally prioritize enhancing higher rarity characters.

How to get Rank Medals

The “Rank Medals” required for Rank-ups can be obtained by selecting "Rank-up Trial" from "Crossing Worlds" and clearing the trial for the corresponding role. Medals can also be purchased from places like the Regular Shop, Insignia Shop, and Reputation Shop.

Skill Unlocking Details

Every odd-numbered Rank (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13) grants the character the ability to learn one of two skills, and the character will also gain specifiied stat increases which are associated with the unlocked skill. The skills you don't choose can be learned by consuming valuable "Castalia", so don't be afraid of losing out on a specific skill.

Rank-up Once Every 5 Levels

Characters can unlock new Ranks every 5 levels. Therefore, to raise a Legendary character to the maximum Rank of 12, you need to level them up Lv.60.

Star Level-ups Improve Traits

Star Level Ups increase character stats and more importantly, enhances the character's "Trait". Notably, when upgraded to the maximum 5-stars, the Trait is significantly enhanced, so for characters with powerful Traits, prioritize their Star Level Up.
