Daily Missions
Daily mission does not change. Rolling in the friend point gacha counts for the daily mission, as does using gacha tickets.

Normal Missions
These are one-time missions that can be cleared for rewards. Unlike daily missions, these do not reset.

How do I install the game?
Android users: You can acquire the game through qooapp or apkpure. IOS users: You need to have a Japanese apple store account, and then you can download and install as usual.

How do I reroll?
In the first gacha roll after the tutorial, click the YELLOW button (on the right) to reroll, and the BLUE button (on the left) to keep your roll. You can reroll this initial roll endlessly. You can get one SS-Class character, either Zwei or Jin, and any number of S-class and 3-4 star grimoires.

If you have a rooted android device or emulator Using a file manager, navigate to /data/data/com.arcsystemworks.bbdw Then delete the file: com.acrsystemworks.bbdw.v2.playerprefs.xml This deletes your account without deleting app data

Otherwise, uninstall and reinstall game. Tutorial can be skipped, rerolling is fairly painless, and you are limited only by your download speed.

Now that I've gotten my characters, what should I do?
Clearing the panel mission and the daily missions: see pics is a great way to start out with the game. It nets you some rewards and eases you into a lot of the gameplay systems and parts of the menu. Afterwards, progressing the main story or doing the daily character quests is a good idea.

What are the game’s rarities?
You can only summon A1, S, or SS rare characters. You can upgrade any character all the way up to SS+++

What is Sparking?
After doing 300 rolls on a single banner you may pick one of the banner targets and acquire them.

This requires 60000, which is roughly 800 USD in-game value. In-game, this is the blue "具現欠晶交換/Exchange Embodiment Coins" button at the top of the banner.

The term comes from a similar mechanic from the game Granblue Fantasy.

When is daily reset?
Midnight JST

What to do with gacha tickets?
They dont contribute to your spark totals, so feel free to throw them at the banner of your choice guilt-free. They also count for the purposes of clearing the daily mission "Roll the gacha 1 time"

What are some machine translation options?

What is a good starting roll?
SS of choice (either Jin or Zwei), 1-2 S-Class characters, the rest is up to you! Check this Japanese-language writeup for an idea of suggested units and rolls.

See this page for the available pool of characters.

How do I raise the level cap?
Level cap is tied to your account level. Keep playing the game, and your characters can be raised higher.

Can I play with my account on another device?
Unfortunately, every time you want to switch your account to another device you will need to use your transfer code to change devices. You will need to generate a new bind code every time.
