Choice File
A Choice File is a special summoning resource that lets the user choose a 5★ demon (+ their archetype/color) from a specific lineup, which may include both fusible and non-fusible demons.
Choice Files are generally given out through events or the Shop, but some are available permanently, such as the 2nd anniversary choice file in Comeback Missions.
Anniversary Files
Below is an availability chart for the Special, 2nd anniv, and 3rd anniv choice files.
"X" means the demon is available to choose, while "-" means it is not available.

Deciding what to summon
Being able to choose a unit is extremely valuable in a Gacha game, so you should be very careful about what you select from a Choice File.
Some guidelines:
- If at all possible, try to AVOID choosing a fusible demon. You could just farm mag and make them later - the choice is better spent on a non-fusible demon that may be difficult to get otherwise.
- Choosing a good, non-fusible demon that you don't already have should be the highest priority.
- Rather than picking them already in their ideal color, pick them in a color that has a good gacha skill. You can then shift the color to the one you actually want, while keeping the good gacha skill.
- If none of the non-fusibles catch your interest, or if you just already have all of them, then pick a duplicate that can help with Spirit Merge paneling. Make sure that the demon you choose actually has good panels, though.
- If going this route, pick a color that has a good gacha skill, and use a Blank Genome on the gacha skill before spiritizing the demon. This gets you more value from your summon.
- If you're actively summoning on a banner, wait until AFTER you're done there, just in case you pull something that you would've otherwise selected from the choice file. This then lets you pick something else from your choice file.
Once you've decided who you want, check the Tier List for which archetype colors perform best.
Common case: Special Choice File (2.5 Anniv)
This file is the one most-frequently given-out through events, so it's common for people to make decisions based on this one.
Demons
The decision process for this file can be simplified as follows:
- If you don't have an ailment-immune cleanser (also known as a "Cleric"), you should get
Daisoujou.
- For a list of clerics, see Ailments -> Clerics.
- Daisoujou's color isn't very important, but
Purple is technically his best. Alternatively, you can pick
Teal so you can harvest the rare skill Void Dark Zones off of him - this skill is useful for freeing up team slots in your Aura Gate sub party.
- Otherwise, you should get one of the following if you don't have them yet (in order of highest-to-lowest priority):
Yoshitsune - Good
Phys attacker for PvE. Pick
Red or
Yellow, then shift to
Purple.
Alice - Good
Dark mage that can also inflict Mortal. Pick
Teal, then shift to
Purple.
Mot - Good support for Democalypse. Pick
Yellow, then shift to
Purple.
Huang Di - Strong sword for Alt-World. Pick
Red or
Yellow, harvest the skill, then turn him into a sword.
Metatron - Tanky DPS with strong support effects, such as Repel Pierce and
Revive Ban. He's fusible, but is very expensive, so getting him here can be useful as a shortcut. Pick
Yellow or
Purple, then shift to
Red or
Teal.

Similar logic to the 2.5 file, but you CANNOT pick the following demons from this file:
3rd Anniv. Choice File
Similar logic to the 2.5 file, with the following notable additions:
Demons
Good demons to pick (in order of highest-to-lowest priority):
Frost Ace - Strong Physical
Ice DPS that grants team-wide
Might. Very useful for Avarice 14, and when paired with other Physical attackers. Pick
Red, then shift to
Purple.
Masakado - Strong slow DPS that can inflict Mortal multiple times per battle. Pick any color (depends on which auto-buff you want), then shift to
Purple.
- Alternatively, can be used as an armament in Alter-World. If you do this, then make sure to harvest his skill before turning him into an armament!

Update Choice File
Compared to the 3rd anniv file, Flauros is now available.
- Flauros is good for
Phys Democalypse, but probably isn't worth picking, since the file has several more-important options.
Notable gacha skills:
- Damage Boosters:
- Rare single-target attack skills (for Democalypse)
God's Hand - Purple
Flauros
5th Anniv Special Choice File, and Update Choice File 2
Demons
Compared to the Update Choice File, this adds Raphael,
Gabriel, and
Uriel.
Raphael - Can act as an ailment cleanser (cleric), and is especially useful for Sloth 14. Can also work in both
Force and
Light Democalypse. Pick
Red, then shift to
Purple.
Gabriel - Does good DPS, especially in a 3-angel team. Can also work in both
Elec and
Light Democalypse. Pick
Red, then shift to
Purple.
Uriel - Provides buffs and debuffs when running a 3-angel team. Can also work in both
Fire and
Light Democalypse. Pick
Red or
Yellow, then shift to
Purple.
Notes:
- These three are core to the Archangels team archetype, so there's incentive to get all 3 if possible.
- For PvP, archangel teams are highly dependent on
Metatron M to perform well.
Skills

5.5th Anniv Special Choice File
Demons
Compared to the 3rd anniv Choice File, this adds Tenmas: Asura Lord,
Mahakala,
Indrajit,
Yama, and
Asura.
- However, it also REMOVES the following:
Marici,
Baal,
Anat,
Frost Ace, and
Tzitzimitl.
- This file also does NOT have the following:
Flauros,
Gabriel,
Raphael, and
Uriel.
This is the ONLY free choice file that offers Tenmas, so you should probably pick one of them.
Good demons to pick (in order of highest-to-lowest priority):
Asura - Vital for farming Deceit 14, as he can trivialize the first wave if he's
Teal. Pick in any non-Teal color (depends on the skill you want), then shift to
Teal.
- Alternatively, can be turned into armaments that counteract Physical teams: each reduces the enemy's crit rate by -60%, and the shield also counters with an AoE and buff removal when the MC is hit by a Physical attack.
Indrajit - Good
Elec DPS. Casts
Repel Almighty Magic upon the party scoring a kill, which can counter
The 10th Angel in PvP. Pick
Red or
Yellow, then shift to
Purple.
- Alternatively, can be turned into a shield that also casts
Repel Almighty Magic, but only when the MC scores a kill.
- Alternatively, can be turned into a shield that also casts
Asura Lord - Good DPS and buffer for
Phys Democalypse prelim. Also helpful for challenge fights that require using
Almighty. Pick
Red or
Yellow, then shift to
Red (for Democalypse) or
Purple (for using his Almighty skill).
Mahakala - Good generalist DPS for Democalypse. Especially good for
Fire DPS. Pick any color, then shift to
Purple.
Yama - Good generalist buffer for Democalypse prelim, and a good
Dark DPS. Pick
Red, then shift to
Purple.
