''Because Someone had to dissect this horror of an UI''
While most gachas tend to overwhelm new players with complicated and crowded menus, Eidos could be considered the more minimalistic designed game in that regard - for the better or worse.

[[File:Ui start.png|thumb|550x550px|Start Screen]]


==The Homescreen==
== Start Menu ==
[[File: Homescreen.jpg|thumb|right|300px|An example of the homescreen]]
Eidos Homescreen can be categorized in Three Sections:


'''The Top Side''' - Everything that revolves around your main resources like Stamina, Gold and Summoning Stones as well as your Name and Level are visible on the top side of the homescreen
* Where the game checks for updates.
Besides that there is also the Quest Scenario below the Area where your stamina is shown.
* Where you log-in if you're on pc, or did not use habbit launcher on android.
* Clear Cache


'''The Bottom Side''' - Probably everything that should interest the player: '''Party''' for party formations, '''Scout''' for summoning, '''Strengthening''' for character strengthening, '''Shop''' for shopping, '''Warehouse''' for your item inventory, and of course the main function of the game, '''Interaction''' for romancing your Characters.  
This menu can be accessed again from going to settings >support > to title.


At the bottom left corner, you'll see announcements regarding banners, updates etc.
== Home ==
[[File:Ui mainmenu.png|thumb|550x550px|Home Screen]]


'''The Left Side''' - Staple but lesser important features like InGame Mails, Your Profile and Friends, The Settings and a News function are available here.  
=== Upper Left ===
You can also Change the character you want to appear in your Profile as well as in your Homescreen. And as of 1.0.5.2, You can change the position and zoom of your partner character.

== Stamina Recovery Menu ==


One Important Aspect are '''Ressources''' you will have to gather and manage to develop your Units. Doing Exploration Quests will immensely help you so. May it be '''Exp''', '''Gold''', '''Skill Books''' or just '''Gifts''' to unlock the CGs - ''You definetely find it here!''
* Shows you your stamina recovery items, their quantities, and their expiration if any.
* You can also use dragon vein stones to replenish stamina. (But it is not the best use of the currency.)
* You can overcap stamina by using plenty of recovery items at once.


== Quest Selection ==
Tapping on the top right banner from the main menu will take you to the [[Quests]] selection screen. There you can change quest categories by selecting between the three: [[Main Storyline|The Story]], [[Exploration Quests|Exploration]], or [[Event Quests|Events]].

== Battles ==
See [[The Battle System]]


==Your Team and You!==
==Party and Boost==
Probably one of the most important functions in the game: '''The Teambuilding''' and '''Development''' Aspect. You can save up to 4 Parties - perhaps for different strategies, showing off your favourites or just for try out something - and give each party a name, if you want to of course.
Each party will have the [[Main Character/Gaia|Main Character]] in it - but don't worry - press simply on '''Form Party''' and you'll quickly create a new party in no time!


By simply pressing on one of your party members - or using the '''strengthening''' option on the Homescreen - You will be lead to all your characters you have collected. Selecting one of them will give you a quick Overview on their stats, their range, their skills and the maximum level they can reach.
=== Forming Parties ===
You can access the Party screen to sort out your teams. You have 12 slots to fill, and one extra support unit when getting ready for combat. In addition, you can save up to 4 parties - perhaps for different strategies, showing off your favorites or just for try out something - and give each party a name, if you want to of course.  


Pressing the '''To Strengthen Screen''' will lead you to the Characters in depth Page. Depicted, besides the mentioned informations from the overview, are the rarity, the trait, the nature and even the characters Illustrator as well.  
You can either select party members one at a time or all at once using the "Form Parties" button. You may also clear out your current party set, and it will revert to a team with only Gaia in it. When choosing party members, you are technically can also access the Boost screen.


''In Theory'' we should be able to '''Level Up''' or Characters with Gold and EXP, '''Improve Skills''', '''Rank Up''' and '''Limit Break''' the Character from the Strengthen Screen but as of now only Leveling up is available.
=== Boosting Characters ===
The Boost screen allows you to view and sort all the characters you've collected, and access their details page where you can strengthen them through levelling them up, ranking them up, increasing their skill levels, and improving their proficiency. You can also favorite characters on the selection screen for easy sorting later on by clicking on the "star" icon.

=== Changing/Unlocking Skins ===
Character skins can be changed via the boost screen of a character. Characters can unlock different sprite design that can be used in combat. Currently, most characters unlock one on rank up, with most being simple palette swaps of their originals, while some are totally different looks for the characters.


=== Gallery ===
You are able to view a character's vn sprite and game sprite via the boost screen. Most characters will have their base, swimsuit, and nude forms. Access to certain forms require having enough bond value.


==Interactions==
== Stories, Interactions, and Stills ==
''Probably'' the highlight of the game, Interaction allows the player - as the name suggest - interact with their characters by gifting '''presents''', receiving '''stat bonuses''' and...
Story nodes are presented with a VN style UI. They can contain "Stills" which can be also be accessed through the Interaction menu for the respective character involved once the node is completed.  


...unlocking a variant of '''Scenarios''' by reaching an Intimacy of 100%!
The interaction menu is where you'll be given a list of all your collected characters, alongside their corresponding intimacy stat. You'll be able to give gifts and view unlocked stills through this menu.


Be careful though, these scenarios  are '''NSFW''' and should be treated as such!
For more information on interactions and stills, refer to [[CGs]].<gallery widths="250px" heights="200px" perrow="4">

==Profile and Friends==
==Profile and Friends==
As mentioned above, on the left side of the homescreen, below the mail symbol, you'll enter your '''profile'''! It displays Player informations like Your '''Friend Code''', The amount of '''Characters''' you have collected, Your '''Story Progression''', '''Your Assistent''' that is displayed on the homescreen and your '''Support Character''' you can leand your friends with ''in the future someday.''
The profile screen shows player information, as well friend/follower information. On the User Information tab, you'll be able to see your partner character, level, username, friend code, registration date, story progression, and amount of character possessed. You can also set a small message for other players to see, as well as change your support character, which other players will be able to use.


If you want to follow your friends, simply enter their code under '''Friend Search''', your friends should be then able to follow you back - as long as they dont hit the friends limit!
Follow tab lists players you added as friend, and Follower tab lists players that have added you as a friend. Friend Search is used to seek out people through their friend code.

==The Shop==

*If you do decide to make a purchase the Monthly Pass or Beginner Scout is recommended.
