- Characters can be unlocked in different ways inside the game — summoning is one of the main routes.
- Evolving a character earns the Striker Evolution badge.
- ANCIENT is one of the rarity tiers; landing an ANCIENT character earns you the Ancient Striker badge.
- Prestiging resets your level in exchange for moving to a higher tier of progression, and doing it once earns the Prestige badge.
