Units
Units can be upgraded in 5 ways. Experience, Pieces, Skills, Orbs, and Crowns.
Experience
Upgrading your characters is expensive. Thankfully, not everyone is worth spending experience on, and that includes characters you are using. I would divide characters up into 4 groups.
- Characters who hit things
These are characters who will be punching for you. Generally, your best damage dealer in a given element. You can cover pretty much every enemy in the game outside challenging event quests by just upgrading 3 damage dealers of either Fire/Dark/Water, or Air/Earth/Light. This trio would complement each other, with someone who is super effective against everyone you will encounter. Upgrade this trio to level 80, and any other you may want to use to level 60-80 as needed.
Examples include: Saya, Mai, Tsubaki, Any SS attacker not named Meifang
- Characters who get hit
These are your tanks. Whether its a character classified as a tank in game, or just someone with a pile of health or defensive tools. They are going to want a lot of health and defense so that they can survive a beating. You will not need this until late game, since the character who hits things will double as the one getting hit. You may use 1 of these on a team, maybe 2 if they are also a powerful support. Upgrade these characters to level 60-80 as needed.
Examples include: Hibiki, Drei, Kokonoe, Fuzzy
- Characters who don't hit or get hit
These are characters who exist on your team purely so that they can use their skills, passives, and maybe an S or DD for its effect. These characters you only upgrade enough so that they do not explode when hit, and are mostly made up of supports and healers. They will typically fill out the rest of the slots on your team. Upgrade these characters to level 40-60 max as needed.
Examples include: Ciel, Kajun, Kuon, Kokonoe
- Ranking Damage Dealer
This is end game stuff. If you want to participate in end game stuff, this is the only character in the game you will ever max out at level 100. It is the damage dealer you are using in Ranking events, where you are given points based on how much damage you do. Maxing out their stats means you max out their potential. Upgrade these characters to level 80 minimum, 90 recommended, and if you plan on competing for the highest ranks, this is the only character you will max out at level 100.
Character Pieces
AI
AI Pieces are mostly farmed by buying them from shop. This is a very good use of you "buy from the shop" daily until you have most of what you need.
The Target is what you should be farming to before moving on to someone else. Any character listed as "Stats" for their tier is the lowest priority in their tier. You only farm shards to upgrade their stats, since they don't need any of the other perks that come from upgrading their rarity.
| Priority | Target | Character |

| Rush First | SS++ | |
