Tokyo Afterschool Summoners' uses a battle system similar to a very basic turn-based strategy game. All information about it can be found on this page.

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.
- 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 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.
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 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 Weapons and Elements for more details.
Once both parts have been completed, the turn ends, and the opposing player 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 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 
Blow or 
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 Blow and Slash enemies, clear out all the enemies on one side, then stick a unit to maintain your safe area, while 
Shot 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's charge attack having 
Magic range, even though his normal attack has Blow range. CP can also be charged from certain status buffs to allow you to use them more frequently.
Buffs and debuffs applied to your units can be viewed in depths by tapping their icon in the team list, you can also check ennemy units by tapping and holding them.
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.
Kernel

While it was impossible to modify this stat directly (that is, without needing to level a unit), LifeWonders introduced a manner of doing so. Seeds are geared towards increasing stats of all variants of a unit. For example, using a HP Seed will increase, by an unknown value, the HP stat for all copies of Kengo, even unreleased variants. So far, only ATK Seed and HP Seed are confirmed (to iterate, ATK Seed will increase the ATK stat for all copies of the unit).
Unfortunately, Seeds 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.
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.
Currently, the limit to how much HP and ATK can be raised by Seeds is 1000 points each.
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.
Boost Function
Starting with the 2017 Christmas Event, it's now possible to apply party-wide buffs temporarily. Below is a list of consumables, and their effects:
| Item | Effect | Icon |
|---|---|---|
| Mince Pie | +50% ATK | 
|
| Pizza | Nullifies status effect | 
|
| Grilled Turkey | +10 CP every turn | 
|
| Yule Log / bûche de Noël | +400HP every turn | 
|
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:
| Weapon Type | Range | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Blow (Fist) |
1 space in front of unit | 1.0x base attack |
| Slash (Sword) |
3 spaces in front of unit horizontally | 0.45x base attack |
 Thrust (Spear) |
2 spaces in front of unit vertically | 0.55x base attack |
| Shot (Bow) |
3 spaces in front of unit vertically | 0.45x base attack |
| Magic (Magic Rod) |
5 tiles in a plus (+) shape in front of unit | 0.28x base attack |
 Snipe (Gun) |
5 spaces in front of unit vertically | 0.28x base attack(?) |
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. There are 5 main energies in the game, 
FIRE, 
WATER, 
WOOD, 
AETHER, and 
NETHER, with 3 special energies: 
INFERNAL, 
VALIANT, and 
ALL-ROUND. Strengths and weaknesses of these energies are listed in the table below:
| Energy | Advantages | Disadvantages | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FIRE
|
WOOD
|
WATER
|
Damage doubled when advantageous, while damage is halved when disadvantageous. | |
| WATER
|
FIRE
|
WOOD
| ||
| WOOD
|
WATER
|
FIRE
| ||
| AETHER
|
NETHER
|
Damage dealt and received are multiplied by 2x when advantageous/disadvantageous. | ||
| NETHER
|
AETHER
| |||
| INFERNAL
|
FIRE, WATER, WOOD, AETHER, NETHER
|
Damage dealt and received are multiplied by 1.5x when advantageous/disadvantageous. | ||
| ALL-ROUND
|
Consult the notes below for details. | |||
| VALIANT
| ||||
ALL-ROUND has no relationships, so no energy-based damage multipliers apply.
VALIANT has special properties for the five main energies: FIRE, WATER, and WOOD are dealt halved damage, while damage from AETHER and NETHER is halved. VALIANT is advantageous against INFERNAL .
The player can infer that relationships that are neither advantageous or disadvantageous offer no damage multiplier.
