== Basics of Battle ==
== Basics of Battle ==
Most missions in Tokyo Afterschool Summoners requires you to fight a 4-phase battle against CPU-controlled enemy units. The player and enemy alternate turns, starting with the player, moving units around and attacking opposing units until all units on one side are defeated.
Battles in Tokyo Afterschool Summoners pit the player against a host of CPU-controlled enemy units. The player and enemy alternate turns, starting with the player. Each turn they can move one unit, after which all their units will automatically attack any opposing units within range. This continues until all units on one side are defeated.
* If the player's units are all defeated, you can either fail the mission and quit out or refresh your units at the cost of a rainbow gem.
* If all friendly units are defeated, the player can either fail the battle and quit, or refresh all friendly units at the cost of one {{item|transient stone}} and continue.
* If the enemy's units are all defeated, the player moves onto the next phase, or if it is the last phase, finish the mission and collect your rewards.
* If all enemy units are defeated, the player moves onto the next phase. At the end of the last phase, the battle is won, and the player may collect any accumulated rewards.




Each turn consists of two parts:  Movement and Attack.
Each turn consists of two parts:  movement and attack.
* During Movement, you can move one of your units to another area adjacent to it, including diagonals, so long as it is within the Safe Area.
* During movement, the player can move any friendly units to another area adjacent to it, including diagonals, so long as it is within the Safe Area. Certain units have movement increase [[Skill]]s that allow them to surpass these limits.
* During Attack, each of your units will attack any enemy within their attack range in order starting from the topmost unit in your unit list, ordering your units correctly can be important to make the most of skills that activate when attacking.  See the [[Battle System#Weapons and Elements|Weapons and Elements]] for more details.
* During attack, each friendly units will attack any enemy within their attack range in order, starting from the topmost unit in your unit list.




Once both parts have been completed, the turn ends, and the opposing player begins their turn.

<!-- The following paragraphs should be under a General Strategy page or something. -->


Units with smaller ranges can have trouble hitting enemies in back rows.  However, the Danger Area shrinks and grows to however far there are enemies. If you take out all the enemies in the front row, that area can be yours to control if no enemies occupy it at the start of your next turn. Use this to your advantage if you plan on using a lot of {{Weapon|Strike}} or {{Weapon|Slash}} users.  Note that enemies can take advantage of this too, so if you need to run and heal, enemies will start to occupy your area.

As a follow up to the above, if you're fighting on a wide battle field with a lot of {{Weapon|Strike}} and {{Weapon|Slash}} enemies, clear out all the enemies on one side, then stick a unit to maintain your safe area, while {{Weapon|Ranged}} units pick off all the other units on the other side of the field safely from rows further back.  The enemy will have to go across the entire field to damage anything, which is valuable time you can spend killing them for free instead.

Each time one of your units attacks or gets attacked, its CP% raises a little bit.  Once it reaches 100%, the following turn that unit will use their charge attack instead of their regular attack.  Note that you cannot stop a unit from using its charge attack if its CP is at 100%, so if you want to save it for a later turn, you need to move it to a position where it attacks no enemies.  Charge attacks can also have a different range than normal attacks, such as 3* [[Cusith|Cusith's]] charge attack having {{Weapon|Magic}} range, even though his normal attack has {{Weapon|Strike}} range.  CP can also be charged from certain status buffs to allow you to use them more frequently.

Currently, the game has two stats: [[HP]] and [[ATK]]. Every unit has their own base stats and a growth curve unique to each stat. For more information regarding these stats, including how damage is calculated, please see the corresponding pages.

While it was impossible to modify this stat directly (that is, without needing to level a unit), LifeWonders introduced a manner of doing so. {{Item:種}}s are geared towards increasing stats of <u>all</u> variants of a unit. For example, using a {{Item:ＨＰの種}} will increase, by an unknown value, the HP stat for <u>all</u> copies of [[Kengo]], even unreleased variants. So far, only {{Item:ＡＴＫの種}} and {{Item:ＨＰの種}} are confirmed (to iterate, {{Item:ＡＴＫの種}} will increase the ATK stat for <u>all</u> copies of the unit).
{{Item:種}}s are geared towards increasing stats of <u>all</u> variants of a unit.
 
So far, there's {{Item|ＨＰの種}}, {{Item|ＡＴＫの種}}, {{Item|レベルの種}}, and {{Item|スキルの種}}.


Unfortunately, {{Item:種}}s raise a stat by a very very negligible amount. Whether this is intentional, or it's intended to function as a percentage value (like Skill Levels) is unknown.
Each {{Item:種}} increases their correlated stat (that is, HP stat increase, ATK stat increase, card max [[LV|Level]] increase, and [[Skills|Skill Activation Percentage]] increase).


A single {{Item:種}} will increase its correlated stat by one, while the double {{Item:種}} raises a stat by three, yet the triple {{Item:種}} increases by ten.
A single {{Item:種}} will increase its correlated stat by one, while the double {{Item:種}} raises a stat by three, yet the triple {{Item:種}} increases by ten.


Currently, the limit to how much HP and ATK can be raised by {{Item:種}}s is 1000 points each.
{{Item:ＨＰの種}} and {{Item:ＡＴＫの種}} seeds do not require any special conditions for the unit, while {{Item:レベルの種}} requires the unit to be at absolute max level (implies max [[Limit Break]]), and {{Item:スキルの種}} requires [[Skills|Skill Level]] 100.
 
Currently, the limit to how much HP and ATK can be raised by {{Item:種}}s is 1000 points each, while {{Item:レベルの種}} and {{Item:スキルの種}} can only increase their correlated stat by 15 and 10, respectively.
 
== Sacred Artifact Level ==
== Sacred Artifact Level ==
Units have an additional level parameter: Sacred Artifact level, which determines the [[Skills#Charge_Skill_Effect_Increase|strength]] of a unit's charge attack. This value is increased by acquiring duplicate units. Typically, duplicate {{Star|5}}s increase this level by 20, {{Star|4}}s increase by 5, and the remaining lower rarities merely increases by 1.

== Weapons and Energies ==
 
Each unit wields a certain weapon type and element, which acts as a multiplier on their base damage.  Furthermore, each weapon type attacks in a different range. The weapon types, damage multipliers, and ranges are listed below:
{{#masterdata:Weapon|}}
 
Furthermore, energies (attributes, elements) also multiply damage.  Attacking an enemy disadvantageous to your unit's energy doubles damage, while attacking an enemy advantageous against your unit's energy halves damage. The current energies in the game are as follows:
 
* There are 5 main energies in the game: {{Attribute|Fire}}, {{Attribute|Wood}}, {{Attribute|Water}}, {{Attribute|Aether}} and {{Attribute|Nether}}.
* There is group of special elements: {{Attribute|Valiant}}, {{Attribute|World}} and {{Attribute|Infernal}}.
* There are also 2 energies that form a cyclic relation with the previously inert {{Attribute|All}} which are {{Attribute|Zero}} and {{Attribute|Infinity}}.
* The newly added {{Attribute|God}} attribute is a separate energy on its own.
 
To prevent confusion with how the energies work, it's best to work off of the above groups:
 
* The first group features the classic rock, paper, scissor relation of fire, water and wood and the aether and nether elements being strong against each other.
* The second group also forms the standard cyclic relation except each energy reacts differently to the energies found in the first group:
# {{Attribute|Infernal}} deals and sustains extra damage against all 5
# {{Attribute|Valiant}} deals less damage to {{Attribute|Fire}}, {{Attribute|Water}} and {{Attribute|Wood}} but takes less damage from {{Attribute|Aether}} and {{Attribute|Nether}} 
# {{Attribute|World}} deals less damage to {{Attribute|Aether}} and {{Attribute|Nether}} but takes less damage from {{Attribute|Fire}}, {{Attribute|Water}} and {{Attribute|Wood}}
* The third group also forms the standard cyclic relation.
* {{Attribute|God}} deals increased damage to and takes reduced damage from all attributes other than {{Attribute|All}}, {{Attribute|Zero}},  {{Attribute|Infinity}} - from which it takes increased damage from and deals reduced damage to.

Basics of Battle

Battles in Tokyo Afterschool Summoners pit the player against a host of CPU-controlled enemy units. The player and enemy alternate turns, starting with the player. Each turn they can move one unit, after which all their units will automatically attack any opposing units within range. This continues until all units on one side are defeated.

  • If all friendly units are defeated, the player can either fail the battle and quit, or refresh all friendly units at the cost of one Transient Stone and continue.
  • If all enemy units are defeated, the player moves onto the next phase. At the end of the last phase, the battle is won, and the player may collect any accumulated rewards.


Each turn consists of two parts: movement and attack.

  • During movement, the player can move any friendly units to another area adjacent to it, including diagonals, so long as it is within the Safe Area. Certain units have movement increase Skills that allow them to surpass these limits.
  • During attack, each friendly units will attack any enemy within their attack range in order, starting from the topmost unit in your unit list.


Once both parts have been completed, the turn ends, and the enemy begins their turn.

Advanced Battle Information

During movement, it is possible to move multiple units at once. Simply move a unit into a space that another unit occupies, and the two will trade places. By keeping a unit in a central position, it is possible to move many units at once into strategic positions. It is also possible, although difficult, to move a unit two cells away without swapping with another unit, and to a diagonally-adjacent cell; for example, moving to the north-east without "touching" the north or east space.


Units with smaller ranges can have trouble hitting enemies in back rows. However, the Danger Area's size varies with the placement of enemies. Therefore, if the player takes out all the enemies in the front row, it will fall under the player's control and be incorporated under the Safe Area. This area can however can be lost if enemies occupy it at the start of player's next turn. Use this to your advantage if you plan on using a lot of 1.00x ATK penaltyBlow or 0.45x ATK penaltySlash users. Note that enemies can take advantage of this too, so if the player opts to run and heal, enemies will start to occupy the Safe Area.

As a follow-up to the above, if you're fighting on a wide battle field with a lot of 1.00x ATK penaltyBlow and 0.45x ATK penaltySlash enemies, clear out all the enemies on one side, then stick a unit to maintain your safe area, while 0.45x ATK penaltyShot units pick off all the other units on the other side of the field safely from rows further back. The enemy will have to go across the entire field to damage anything, which is valuable time you can spend killing them for free instead.

Each time one of your units attacks or gets attacked, its CP raises a little bit. Once it reaches 100%, the following turn that unit will use their Charge Skill instead of their regular attack. Note that there is no way to stop units from using their Charge Skill if their CP reaches 100%, so if you want to save it for a later turn, you need to move it to a position where it attacks no enemies. Charge attacks can also have a different range than normal attacks, such as 3* Cusith's Charge Skill having 0.28x ATK penaltyMagic range, even though his weapon type is 1.00x ATK penaltyBlow. CP can also be gained from certain status buffs.

Buffs and debuffs applied to your units can be viewed in-depth by tapping their icon in the team list. Likewise, the status of ennemy units can be checked by tapping and holding their icons.

Stats

Currently, the game has two stats: HP and ATK. Every unit has their own base stats and a growth curve unique to each stat. For more information regarding these stats, including how damage is calculated, please see the corresponding pages.

Level and Skill Seed

Seeds are geared towards increasing stats of all variants of a unit.

So far, there's HP Seed, ATK Seed, Level Seed, and Skill Seed.

Each Seed increases their correlated stat (that is, HP stat increase, ATK stat increase, card max Level increase, and Skill Activation Percentage increase).

A single Seed will increase its correlated stat by one, while the double Seed raises a stat by three, yet the triple Seed increases by ten.

HP Seed and ATK Seed seeds do not require any special conditions for the unit, while Level Seed requires the unit to be at absolute max level (implies max Limit Break), and Skill Seed requires Skill Level 100.

Currently, the limit to how much HP and ATK can be raised by Seeds is 1000 points each, while Level Seed and Skill Seed can only increase their correlated stat by 15 and 10, respectively.

Sacred Artifact Level

Units have an additional level parameter: Sacred Artifact level, which determines the strength of a unit's charge attack. This value is increased by acquiring duplicate units. Typically, duplicate s increase this level by 20, s increase by 5, and the remaining lower rarities merely increases by 1.

Relationships (Affinity Burst)

Relationships between units (Like, Dislike, Love, etc.) can play a role in how you'll clear a quest; moving a unit adjacent to another with a relationship (love/like/dislike/rival) to or from said moved unit will grant buffs to the source of the relationship. Each buff will last for 3 turns.

Dislike

Rival

For examples:

  • moving Nomad adjacent to Macan will give Macan the Friendship buff (since Macan likes Nomad) and Nomad the Anger buff (since Nomad dislikes Macan).
  • moving Gunzo adjacent to Ashigara will grant Gunzou the Friendship buff, but Ashigara won't get any buff.

Boost Function

Starting from the 2017 Christmas Event, during special Event Quests, the Boost Function is a supplementary system aimed to provide party-wide buffs that typically last the entire battle.

With both the 2017 Christmas Event and 2018 Summer Festival Event, you can obtain special consumable items from item drops or the event item exchange shop.

With the 2018 Valentine's Event, the Boost Function was used via relationships between two units. Similar to this, the Distant Gendarme Event, non-consumed strategies (formations) provided boosts in a manner similar to relationships, but required units to be positioned a certain way.

Weapons and Energies

Each unit wields a certain weapon type and element, which acts as a multiplier on their base damage. Furthermore, each weapon type attacks in a different range. The weapon types, damage multipliers, and ranges are listed below:

CP Gain
Name Attack Overkill Damaged
Icon weapon none.pngTypeless 0 0 0
0.45x ATK penaltySlash 5 9 5
0.55x ATK penaltyThrust 6 11 5
1.00x ATK penaltyBlow 12 17 5
0.45x ATK penaltyShot 5 9 5
0.28x ATK penaltyMagic 4 7 5
0.32x ATK penaltyLong Slash 4 8 5
0.26x ATK penaltySnipe 4 6 5
0.10x ATK penaltyAll 1 1 5
Icon weapon nothing.pngNone 0 0 0
Name Icon Range Multiplier
Icon weapon none.pngTypeless 0%
0.45x ATK penaltySlash 45%
0.55x ATK penaltyThrust 55%
1.00x ATK penaltyBlow 100%
0.45x ATK penaltyShot 45%
0.28x ATK penaltyMagic 28%
0.32x ATK penaltyLong Slash 32%
0.26x ATK penaltySnipe 26%
0.10x ATK penaltyAll 10%
Icon weapon nothing.pngNone 0%

Furthermore, energies (attributes, elements) also multiply damage. Attacking an enemy disadvantageous to your unit's energy doubles damage, while attacking an enemy advantageous against your unit's energy halves damage. The current energies in the game are as follows:

To prevent confusion with how the energies work, it's best to work off of the above groups:

  • The first group features the classic rock, paper, scissor relation of fire, water and wood and the aether and nether elements being strong against each other.
  • The second group also forms the standard cyclic relation except each energy reacts differently to the energies found in the first group:
  1. Element evil.pngINFERNAL deals and sustains extra damage against all 5
  2. Element hero.pngVALIANT deals less damage to Element fire.pngFIRE, Element water.pngWATER and Element earth.pngWOOD but takes less damage from Element light.pngAETHER and Element dark.pngNETHER
  3. Element world.pngWORLD deals less damage to Element light.pngAETHER and Element dark.pngNETHER but takes less damage from Element fire.pngFIRE, Element water.pngWATER and Element earth.pngWOOD
  • The third group also forms the standard cyclic relation.
  • Element god.pngDIVINE deals increased damage to and takes reduced damage from all attributes other than Element none.pngALL-ROUND, Element zero.pngNULL, Element infinity.pngINFINITY - from which it takes increased damage from and deals reduced damage to.

One question: Why do some enemies randomly deal 10K damage to my units even if they are at level 5 enemy difficulty?

Infernal is a glass cannon. It does 1.5 damage to nearly everything, but takes 1.5 from those same things.

They are available in the event shop for NEW seasonal events, rerun events like the one happening right now or just permanent unit campaigns don't have them.

>>2630 Nope. As far as I know, all Units have an element and you can't change it. A character can have a different element in one of their variants, such as Shino (infernal) whose valentine variant is All, but you can't change the unit's element (using Shino again, you can't change his valentine variant from All element).

The protagonist, meanwhile, is always All-element. On both the 3* and 4*.

One question, can I change an element on a specific unit?

For example, my main character's element is water and I want to change it to fire... Can I do that?
