Training System

Released during the game’s Half Anniversary, the Training System is a character limited upgrade tree that greatly increases the stats of the character.

The Training System comprises up to 7 stages; each stage including the following:

• 6 Individual Stat upgrade nodes unlocked with Souls.
• 3 Individual Stat upgrade nodes unlocked with Elemental Stones.
• 1 Global Stat/ Class Skill Main Node that is unlocked with Rare Souls or Skill Pages.

Stages are unlocked starting from Transcend 0. New stages can only be accessed by unlocking the Main Node, which is unlocked from Transcend 1 (T1) up to Awaken. Higher leveled stages grant higher amounts of stats in exchange for more resources.

As such, the Training System should only be considered by late-game players who might have an excess of Souls, Rare Souls, and Skill Pages.

Elemental Stones can be obtained from the Elemental Stone Dungeon, which rotates between elements daily:

• Monday: Shock
• Tuesday: Freeze.
• Wednesday: Fire
• Thursday: Nature
• Friday: Radiance
• Saturday: Holy
• Sunday: Chaos

Each dungeon has 10 stages rewarding a substantial amount of stones for first clears and are sweepable for a small amount of stones 3 times daily afterwards. You can also obtain Elemental Stones from special events.

• T5: 0.7% 1st stat. (3 Gold Soul)
• Awakened: Skill Level 3 (180 Skill Pages) and 1% 2nd stat (4 Gold Soul)

At this point of time there are 2 schools of thought:

Leveling Equally

As Elemental Stones are likely very scarce early on, this method proposes first investing equally across your roster to unlock the 3% Stat Global Buffs for your entire roster.

Pros

• Cheaper Soul/ Skill page wise.
• Small investment - 1 Rare Soul per character.
• Gives your whole roster an equal stat boost for each member divided up into ATK, DEF, and HP. This helps improve party survival checks to some degree.

Cons

• Dependent on your roster having multiple characters at T1.
• Does not provide much bonus DMG and DMG reduction.
• Holy Character Global buffs are low impact in small quantities.

Funneling Deep into 1 character.

This method proposes going deep into your best characters.

Pros

• Grants even more stats than leveling equally for similar Rare Soul investment.
• Greatly boosts the performance of your best character.
• Higher variety of global buffs - Additional DMG, DMG Reduction, Ignore DMG Reduction, etc.

Cons

• Very expensive resource wise.
• Lower base Global Stat buffs overall (8% of either ATK/DEF/HP vs 30% of either ATK/DEF/HP for the same Rare Soul Investment)
• Not many players have access to high Transcend/ Awakened characters.

There are merits to both, so consider your available resources and roster and proceed accordingly.

As a note, 4 stars and 3 stars also have access to the same training system, and can grant Global Buffs at a lower quantity. These buffs are readily accessible for gold souls, but are very and should only be considered for growth last.
