Character Relationship Diagram
Systems: Demon Fusion and Growth
Demon Fusion
At the Cirque du Goumaden in the Six Treasures Realm, you can fuse demons to create new ones, such as a two-demon combination where two demons are combined, or special fusions where specific demons are used as material. There is also a “fusion search” function allowing players to search for a fusion using a variety of criteria, and also a “recommended fusion” function that suggests fusions based on the demons the player currently has on hand. Whether you are a fan of fusing demons or just want to get it done quickly, you can create your own demon allies in a way that suits you.
Victor (Voice: Banjo Ginga)
Owner of the Cirque du Goumaden, he resembles a mysterious circus ringmaster. He is said to be conducting research to unlock the secrets of life through demon fusion.
Ally Growth
As a demon grows, not only does it gain new skills, but it also increases its stats. In addition to normal skills, some demons can also learn a “pursuit skill,” which allows them to pursue attacks during a Sabbath. With the exception of a few, skills can be transferred freely through demon fusion. Create the strongest demon by developing them through battles and fusing them with other demons.
Gifts and Magical Crystals
When a demon has grown and mastered all its skills, you will receive a gift as a token of appreciation. There are various types of gifts, but one of the most special of them is a magic crystal. Magic crystals are equipment can can be equipped onto a COMP to grant it an effect. There are various effects, such as increasing the power of attribute attack skills, reducing MP consumption, and enabling the use of certain skills. The magical crystals that can be obtained differ depending on the demon, so try to level up a variety of different demons.
Systems: Request
