Upgrading Characters
There are several ways to upgrade characters in Anothereidos.
Leveling up
Leveling up your characters is the best way to improve their combat capabilities. In Anothereidos characters do not level up by clearing quests, characters must be leveled up manually by giving them battle records and draco in the Boost Menu. Each level requires more Battle Records and Draco than the previous one. The amount of Draco required is 1.1x the amount of Battle Record Exp. Each character has a unique predetermined stat growth table, so the amount each character benefits from leveling varies. Higher levels do not guarantee better stat growths, stat growths tend to follow a pattern from level 0 to their max level. A character might gain +1 DEF every 10 levels for example or +1 ATK on odd levels and +2 ATK on even levels. Overall a character's stats increase in a linear pattern while the resources required to level up increase exponentially. This means you'll see less improvement with the same amount of resources at higher levels. The highest level a character can obtain depends on their rarity. Higher rarity characters can be leveled up more, but final base stats do not always reflect a character's rarity. The only stats that can be improved through leveling up are HP, ATK, and DEF.
The best way to acquire Draco and Battle Records is from Exploration Quests.
After a character reaches their maximum level their Rank can be increased.
NOTE: Not all characters have rank up implemented yet.

Rank Up
Increasing a character's rank is the next step to increasing their effectiveness in battle. There are three ranks in Anothereidos: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Currently only 3★ and above are able to increase their rank and the maximum rank is silver. Not all characters can increase their rank when implemented. The rank up feature is currently still in development and may take some time before they're granted access. As a result some character's ability to rank up is currently unimplemented.
When a character reaches maximum level for their rarity and rank they gain the ability to "Rank Up." Ranking up resets their current level back to one, but keeps their current base stats. No character can be made worse by increasing their rank. Silver rank characters will always be better than they were in bronze rank. Additionally characters are assigned a new level curve with a new maximum level and resource requirements. These new levels have different growth rates compared to their bronze rank growth rates. Leveling up a character in bronze rank is not the same as leveling them up in silver. Keep in mind these new growth rates might not benefit some characters as much as other characters and some characters benefit significantly more than others. In rare instances increasing rank can enhance a character's SPD.
Additionally increasing a character's rank gives them new art, new battle spritework, and grants them access to level 7 skills. Due to the size of the development team and number of artists not all characters receive rank up artwork immediately.
The items required to increase the rank of character vary depending on the character's class and rarity. All characters with the same class require the same type of items. Higher rarity characters require more of these items. All of these items can be acquired from Exploration Quests and Event Exchanges. These items are more difficult to obtain from exploration quests compared to Draco and Exp, so it's best to grab these from event exchanges. Each class has it's own upgrade item (feathers for vanguards, bottles for healers, claws for strangers, etc.) and an additional item that is used by two of the classes (both fighters and guards use polish).
Upgrading Skills
Upgrading skills is another way to enhance your character's combat capabilities. Skills can be upgraded by giving characters Skill Manuals and Class Upgrade Materials. The amount of and types of resources required to upgrade skills vary depending on the character's rarity and class. Higher rarity characters require more items compared to lower rarity ones. These items can be acquired from Exploration Quests and Event Exchanges. These items are more difficult to obtain from exploration quests compared to Draco and Exp, so it's best to grab these from event exchanges. Each class has it's own upgrade item (feathers for vanguards, bottles for healers, claws for strangers, etc.) and an additional item that is used by two of the classes (both fighters and guards use polish).
Upgrading skills can do one or more of the following
- Increase the numerical value in the skill's description.
- Reduce the SP required to use a skill.
- Increase the initial SP of the skill when the character is deployed.
- Add an additional effect to the skill or modify it's range.
If characters do not have a numerical value in their skill or there is no change in the skill's description, the enhancement comes from reducing their skill's cooldown time. For example summoners like Anima or Hanzo have their initial summon or resummon time reduced when their skills are upgraded, but the stats of their summons are dependent on the character's level.
The maximum skill level for bronze rank characters is 3. Skills can be enhanced further by increasing the character's rank to silver. The maximum skill level for silver rank characters is 7. Generally the most significant skill upgrades occur at higher skill levels.
Intimacy
Intimacy is a stat that indicates how intimate the character is with Gaia / The Protagonist. Intimacy is rated at a value between 0% and 100% After reaching 100% intimacy the character opens their heart to Gaia and he's able to see into their pasts using his "Dragon Eyes." Additionally intimacy is supposed to give intimacy bonuses at 30%, 50%, and 100%. Intimacy bonuses vary between character and can be viewed on the interaction screen. Currently the intimacy bonus mechanic is unimplemented and intimacy only unlocks a character's still01, they have no actual battle effect on characters.
Intimacy Bonuses can include:
- DEF +5 / +7 / +13
- HP +5 / +7 / +13
- RES +5 / +7 / +13
- Nature Boost

Proficiency
Generally, it's recommended to avoid this system entirely.
Proficiency is a small stat bonus gained through expending Draco and character duplicates. These bonuses experience diminishing returns very quickly. At the moment, it's not a wise use of Draco to enhance any of your characters past +10 at the absolute most, with +7 or +8 being a fair stopping point. The stat gains at around +7 quickly drop and become very minimal. Since it's not easy to farm large amounts of Draco or duplicates, enhancing characters to high proficiency is very difficult with minimal gain. Due to the hundreds of dupes required and the extremely low success rates at the highest levels it's very unlikely you will ever reach +99.
- Proficiency can enhance HP, Attack, Defense, Reposition, and Attack Speed. This is the only way to improve base reposition and attack speed.
- The cost and number of duplicates needed to increase Proficiency increases with Proficiency level.
- At higher levels, upgrades can fail. These only consumes the Draco and not the duplicates.
- Stat gains are different between characters, and there is no known formula for their gains.
- The stat gains are flat and works independent of what level your character is. You will gain the same stat boost between giving +1 proficiency to a Lv 1 Romanes, and a Lv 50 Romanes.
- Proficiency doesn't scale with Rank either, so a Bronze Rank Anima will have the same flat stat increases as a Silver Rank Anima.
- +1 gives the largest boost in stats. Subsequent boosts will give less stat gains and increasingly severe diminishing returns. At the moment, upgrading a character past +8 isn't much worth the cost unless you really like a character.
- The max Proficiency level is +99 and requires several hundred duplicates.
- The final proficiency increase for a 4-star costs 1,250,000 Draco, 7 Dupes, and has success rate of 0.5%.
- If you somehow manage to reach +99 proficiency for a specific character it doesn't affect any scouting pool. The character can still be scouted at anytime.
- Only a couple characters have been seen at +99, but they seemed to show an overall 10% increase in HP, Attack, and Attack Speed, and around a 30% increase in Defense (compared using max level Bronze rank).
Conclusion
Upgrading characters to reach their maximum potential can be a long and tedious process. It's generally recommended to follow this pattern for most characters:
- Intimacy (if they have a still01)
- Level up
- Rank up, then level to ~50.
- Skill upgrades
- Finish leveling
- Proficiency (can be ignored entirely)
