Gameplay Mechanics

Party

• Always make sure that you have inserted any newly acquired party members before starting a quest. N-class party members and the levels you acquire them are as follows: Lv.2 Homura, Lv.5 Sayaka, Lv.10 Kyoko, Lv.15 Madoka, Lv.20 Mami-san.
• You will also receive an R-class clone of your party member after reaching these levels: Lv.25 Homura, Lv.30 Sayaka, Lv.35 Kyoko, Lv. 40 Madoka, Lv. 45 Mami. They will have higher stats than your original megucas, and putting the same character (e.g. both R-class and N-class Homus) in your party is possible.

Stats

• A point of attack increases damage dealt by 1. Defense decreases damage taken by 1. Defense becomes better as your defense total becomes larger relative to the opponent's attack: 100 defense reduces a 1000 hit to 900 (10%) but it reduces a 200 hit to 100 (50%).
• For normal questing, a DEF stat skill card is recommended because the stage boss usually possesses high HP, deals low damage per hit, and targets the character with the most HP every time.
• For PvP, battles usually end up being one-hit KO attacks so increasing your ATK to one-hit as many of your opponent in the shortest time is the best strategy. Once you're able to one-shot opponents, add HP instead of defense, since the larger HP values are most effective against one or two incoming hits.
• Since stat points allocated to attack make very little difference once you have a powerful weapon, it's recommended to put your stat points into defense first, and add hp once defense becomes expensive.
• Weapon damage formula: ((Level - 1) x 4 / 29 + 1) x initial value. At level 30 this is five times its initial attack.
• Weapons come in various grades, which have different initial attack levels. The number of gem slots is also randomized, and gem slots can be added while upgrading a weapon.
• The following are some example effective health values (to kill a character, you must deal pre-mitigation damage equal to her effective health):
  • N-Homu lv 21: 796HP + 159DEF = 955EH, so you'll need at least 955 ATK to one-shot her.
  • R-Homu lv 1: 847HP + 170DEF = 1017EH
  • N-Madoka lv 18 with a +HP card: 970HP + 158DEF = 1128EH
  • Player lv 25 with Madoka CP and a scarf: 1220HP + 251DEF = 1471EH
  • If you're using all RR gear, a level 16 weapon with an ATK card can one-shot the first two or three examples depending on grade.
• It's speculated (not yet confirmed) that critical hits ignore the enemy's defense stat. An alternative theory is that it increases damage by some amount between 20% and 50%.
• SS characters have 325 atk, 325 def, 1386 hp.

Quests

• Click the target icon at the top of the screen to begin questing. The grief seed over the city leads to a list of quests.
• You've got 50 max AP. It takes 10 AP to do a quest. AP regenerates 1 per 5 minutes. You also get full AP upon level up. If you have spare AP when you're close to leveling, spend it in battle mode so it won't be wasted.
• The experience points obtained from each maze increases with the stage level, for example for level 1 the exp. is 100, level 2 is 110, and level 3 is 120.
• If you fail a quest, the amount of coins and exp you get is proportional to the amount of damage you did to the boss.
• Defense is an effective stat against powerful bosses. Consider stacking defense if you're having trouble beating a level.
• In PvE, enemies will attack the character with the highest current HP.
• A World is a questing area whose levels are A-1, A-2, etc and feature more powerful versions of the bosses of previous areas. This is a permanent addition to the game, but you can receive a limited time only exclusive green dress for beating A-5 by September 26 (dress to be delivered on October 3). A levels give as much experience as the regular levels they are based off.
  • A-1 boss: 511 attack, 788 defense, 34804 hp, 3 attacks per turn
  • A-2 boss: 544 attack, 934 defense, 56040 hp, 4 attacks per turn

Battle Mode/PvP

• To obtain purple kyupons (better chance to get rare cards) in large numbers, the player will have to use "play with others/battle mode" (accessible from the home screen, costs 10AP per play), which is similar to PvP (opponents are the characters of other players, but they're controlled by NPC AI).
• The number of cards received increases with the number of players defeated and the current rank level, and the rank level point is obtained by defeating at least one player per play. The player will also obtain coins that could be used to upgrade weapons.
• Rank points required to increase the rank level are: Rank C:200, Rank B:500, Rank A:900.
• Players are encouraged to only leave one person in the party when not playing, so as to allow other players to win easily in the "play with others" match. This is called ソロ放置 or 紳士放置 by the elevenese players. No penalty will be given if your character lost.
  • To prevent accidentally going into battle with only 1 party member, changing your character's weapon (or clothes) so it stands out in the lobby screen will help to remind you to rearrange your party.
  • There is a trick for making it easier to reassemble your party. First, make a bookmark of the current client browser. Second, open the bookmark using your browser, which should not open a new window. You will now have two clients open, open the "party management" tab using both clients. Using the first client, disband your party, click "apply" then close the client. Using the second client, only "rearrange" the order of your party member (e.g swap homu and sayaka from 2nd to 3rd slot) which will still keep all equipped cards on the party member. You can now only click "apply" when you return to play the game later, and your party settings will be restored. ***NOTE: Disconnection however could cause the original party configuration to be lost.
• In PvP, both sides will always target the character with the lowest defense, so you want your characters with better weapons to have some defense. You want your characters with the weakest weapons to have attack or HP cards.
• One random character in the player's party will always attack first, so making sure all your party members could 1-kill the opponent is a good strategy.
• When several parties land on the same space, your opponent will be selected according to the order in which they appeared in the PvP selection menu where you chose opponents. The ones higher in the list go first, so if there's two parties of 1 and one party of 6, choose a party of 6 from the bottom of the list so you'll fight the party of 1 first.
• Characters with special attacks triggering will attack earlier than characters in the same party using regular attacks. This can be used to affect the order in which your girls attack, so you can make your lowest defense character strike first.

Achievements

• You get purple kyupons for clearing a quest within 2 turns for most of the earlier quests (The purple kyupons can only be claimed in this manner twice for each level). If you can kill the boss in one round in earlier levels, you can get kyupons for completing these achievements.
• You get bonuses such as coins, variety kyupons, and weapons for clearing stages multiple times. For level 1 you need to clear 3 times, level 2: 5 times, level 3: 7times, level 4: 10 times.

Other

• While rolling dice, if you let the timer run out, in pvp the game will roll for you. On a Godoka roll it will take whatever is highlighted when the timer runs out (1 is highlighted by default).
• You can only have a maximum of 9,999,999 coins.
