First steps when you load in
StepThe game has six working codes tracked by this site, and the rewards from them — Gems and Trait Crystals — are exactly what you need before your first summon. Once you have those, the Beginner banner is your first stop because it carries better rates than the standard banner. After that, Story mode is where you build the foundation everything else depends on.
- Open the code menu tap the three-dot menu in the top-left corner, select Redeem Codes, type your code exactly into the entry field, and hit Redeem Code.
- Pull on the Beginner banner this banner is designed for new players with improved rates.
- Start Story mode work through the Acts and Stages to earn Yen and push your level up steadily.
- Set your team in the Time Chamber before you log off, place your strongest units there so rewards keep building while you are away.

The two currencies and how to keep them straight
Table
Gems and Yen are both important, but they are never interchangeable. Trait Crystals are a third resource with their own dedicated purpose.
| Gems | the summoning currency; spend these only on banners, never during a stage. |
| Yen | the in-stage currency; used to place towers and upgrade them during a battle. |
| Trait Crystals | used to re-roll the random trait attached to a unit, not for summoning or stage costs. |
How summoning and pity work
Tips
There are three banner types: Beginner, Standard, and Mini. Each has a pity system that guarantees a high-rarity unit once you hit a certain pull count — always check the exact numbers shown inside the game, since they are the authoritative figures. Banners rotate, so it is worth watching for the unit you actually want before committing your Gems.
- The Beginner banner offers new-player rates and is the best place to spend your opening Gems.
- Banners change over time, so target the one currently featuring the unit you need.
- The Warrior Saga update (10 August 2026) added Dragon-category units with a transformation mechanic, so check the current banner roster for those.
Making the Time Chamber work for you
Check
The Time Chamber accumulates rewards while you are offline and hands them all to you when you log back in. The quality of what you earn depends on which units you have stationed there.
- Swap in freshly evolved units every time you log in.
- Collect the accumulated rewards at the start of each session before doing anything else.
- After evolving a unit, immediately check whether it should replace something already in the chamber.
Pushing through Story mode
Tips
Story mode is built around Acts and Stages that pay out Yen and evolution materials. Expedition mode only opens after you reach a level threshold, so there is no shortcut around Story.
- Funnel evolution materials into one or two main units rather than spreading them thin.
- Guilds unlock at a certain level and open up co-op Raid rewards, so keep an eye out for that unlock.
- Yen is your fuel for placing and upgrading towers in a stage.
What to check when you are stuck
Check
Before blaming the stage difficulty, run through this list. Each item here is something easy to overlook, especially when you are focused on the action.
- Check that your main units are fully evolved up to the materials you currently have.
- Re-roll weak traits with Trait Crystals.
- Confirm you are spending Yen on towers and Gems on banners, not the other way around.
- Look at who is in the Time Chamber a weak team there means weaker idle rewards.
- Go back to Story mode and grind a few more stages if Expedition or Raid content feels impossible.

Common questions
FAQWhen does Expedition mode unlock?
It opens once you reach a certain level. Working through Story mode stages is the most direct path to that threshold.
What should you do if a code does not work?
First, check that the game is running on its latest version, then try switching servers or restarting. Also double-check the code for any typos, since a single wrong character will cause it to fail.
How do you get the most out of the Time Chamber?
Place your strongest, most recently evolved units in the chamber before every log-off. When you return, collect the rewards immediately and then check whether any newly evolved units should replace the current lineup.
What did the Warrior Saga update add?
The Warrior Saga update, released on 10 August 2026, introduced Dragon-category units along with a transformation mechanic. It also added a hidden questline that rewards the unit Prodigy upon completion.
