What's wrong?	Maybe	There's a test?

How, how did you know that!?

Now that I think about it, it seems like we had a similar talk before, or maybe not...

Well then, let's get back to it.

Master, I'm in an extremely dire predicament! If you don't mind, please study with me again!

I can help with it	So, what is the scope of the test?

Yay, thank you, Master!

Actually, I've been cramming for it all night too. Do you know about "AR equipment"?

AR? Is it an abbreviation for something?	Oh, that's it, that's it!	If that's the case, isn't it already equipped?

Apparently AR is an abbreviation for "Akashic Records".

Hmm, it sounds like the name of a trendy record shop you see around town... but let's leave that aside.

AR equipment is a very amazing thing that can draw power from "memories of the past".

That's right! It's not just stylish! I'm sure you'll be excited too.

Huh? That explanation doesn't really make sense to you?

I'm sure someone will tell you the details on another occasion.

I don't really understand it myself, so... Ah, I'll talk about the fluffiness later!

Let's get back to the topic.

Well, this new power called AR equipment is something that even the best can equip!

So, I'll explain to you what are the benefits of wearing AR equipment.

Each AR equipment piece has 3 major effects. The effects are written at the bottom of the AR equipment selection and details screens. AR equipment has 2 types of effects: "permanent effects" that affect members' stats, and "additional skills."

"Permanent Effects" are effects that change the maximum HP or ATK of the team member who is equipped with them. They occur regardless of the member who is wearing them. Even if you are on the standby or are unable to fight, the effect remains in effect forever. You can also check the effect on the team formation screen! If the status increases, it will be displayed in "yellow." Hmm, it seems like there are various patterns for constant effects, such as numbers going up or down. However, the most basic effect is that it "increases the maximum HP or ATK of the user who wears it."

Continuing on! Now about the "additional skills"! That's exactly what it says. The "additional skills" are only effective while the AR equipment is equipped. Since the additional skills are used with the help of AR equipment, they are not affected by the skill level of the wearer. Additionally, the "additional skills" of AR equipment will not become unusable due to effects that prevent skills usage (like Skill Locks). It's similar to the "skills" that you all have, but it's probably better to think of it as something different. The strength of this "additional skill" is determined by the "maximum level" of the AR equipment. In other words, if the same AR equipment is stacked, the power of that equipment increases... Oh, I'll explain this "upper limit level" in the next lesson!

Well, what do you think, Master? AR equipment is very attractive, isn't it!?

Hehehehe, maybe, maybe, you thought, "I want to try using it."

As a thank you for helping me with my studies, I'll give you one of my ARs!

Please prepare it and try using it! Now you can be with me anytime! After a short break, we'll move on to a lesson on how to actually use AR equipment!

See you later!
