Materials FAQ
Agents need ascension materials to break through their level caps and skill upgrade materials to raise their combat skills, alongside EXP and Dennies. Each agent also needs role- and element-specific certification materials at higher tiers.
Ascension materials drop from combat simulation stages and bosses such as Notorious Hunts, while agent-specific certification seals come from challenge stages and Inter-Knot progression. Spend Battery Charge to claim the extra rewards efficiently.
Each agent’s skills — basic attack, dodge, assist, special, and chain — consume upgrade materials and Dennies to level up. Higher skill levels require rarer materials, so prioritise an agent’s most important skills first.
