Foreword
While Black Clover Mobile will be released in the Global region, it will happen some time after the KR and JPN versions will go live - and both versions go live on 25th of May 2023.
The issue is that without a KR or JPN Google/Apple accounts, you won't be able to download the game from the respective markets. And you have two options to resolve the issue:
- Download an APK from QooApp or other website on your phone,
- Download an emulator and install the APK there.
If you plan to reroll, we suggest using the emulator as this will make the whole process a lot easier and furthermore, emulators can record macros which can further improve both the reroll process and the daily grind.
The emulator we suggest using is LDPlayer as it's fast and reliable - especially when you want to setup multiple instances.
You can download LDPlayer from our link below and by doing so support Prydwen!
How to install the game
Black Clover Mobile JPN and KR versions are region locked. This means if you live outside of those two countries, you will need to use a VPN to login to the game and bypass the restriction. We suggest using Proton VPN as in its free version it gives you the Japanese gateway (it works both for KR and JPN clients somehow).
Keep in mind that you only need to have the VPN running when you login to the game - once you do, you can safely disable it (at least that's how it works in the predownload phase, we will have to see if it's the same after release).
I have an KR/JPN Google/Apple account
If you have a KR/JPN Google (or Apple) account, here are the official links to the KR/JPNs versions in the Google/Apple stores. All you need to do is download the game and you're done!
I don't have an KR/JPN Google/Apple account
Well, things won't be as easy in this variant.
If you decide to play on the emulator or your phone, you will have to use QooApp to download the game.
On your phone, you just have to click the link above, download QooApp and then you will be able to install the game.
On LDPlayer, you will have to create a new instance and then download the QooApp APK from here.
Once you have it downloaded, just move the APK file to your opened LDPlayer instance - this will start the installation process. Next, open QooApp and search for 'Black Clover Mobile' there and pick either the Korean or Japanese version depending on which one you want to play. Then install it.
Here's the very important step. If you plan to reroll using the multi-instance trick, don't launch the game. If you open it, even for a few seconds, the device ID will be saved somewhere in the game and if you clone the instance after, you won't be able to open it at the same time in another one. That's why you need to clone the instance first and only reroll on the cloned instances.
Before you launch the game, make sure to open Proton VPN and connect to an endpoint in Japan. If not, whenever you will try to login as a guest (or create an account) the game will kick you out. Once you pass the wall and the game will start downloading the patch (around 1GB) you can safely disable the VPN. Also, most likely, you will need to use the VPN every time you will want to login to the game.
Now you're ready to play, have fun!
