Quick Facts Shops & Crafting
  • Verify current shop rows before spending scarce currency.
  • Prioritize purchases that unlock a unit or route target.
  • Track one-time claims separately from reusable income.

Fast shop rule

Buy the item that solves the account bottleneck you can name: evolution material, Trait Reroll, Stat Chip, Super Stat Chip, familiar material, Memoria route, or a mode-specific item. If you cannot name the unit or mode the purchase improves, hold the currency.
