Skill Transfer
TBD.
Contents
Basics
Items
Yasaka Magatama; Green Beans
Are resources used to add Skill Points (SP) to a demon.
- The amount of SP a Yasaka Magatama adds depends on its rarity,for example a 1* Yasaka Magatama gives 1 SP to the demon its used on while a 6* Yasaka Magatama gives 6 SP to the demon.
Kasane Magatama; Red Beans
Are resources used to level up a skill on a demon.
- Leveling skills by using Kasane Magatamas DO NOT require SP.
Harvesting
Is the process of taking off a skill from a demon. (see in-game tutorial)
- Only gacha skills can be harvested
Blank Genomes
Are resources used to Harvest skills from demons.
- Can only be used to harvest moves that are transferable i.e. transferable skills and gacha skills.
- A Blank Genome can only be used once.
Skill Genomes
Genomes obtained via summoning on skill gacha banners,harvesting gacha skills,as pvp tier rewards.These genomes can be used to transfer the skill it contains
- A Skill Genome can only be used once.
Skill Transfer
Skill transfer allows a demon to learn a skill from another demon, increasing its combat options and creating powerful combinations. To transfer a skill, the demon that receives the skill needs skill points, and you need another demon with the skill you want to transfer. Skill points are per-demon, and they are acquired by sacrificing other demons or special items (either demon's souls or Yasaka Magatamas) in Pandemonium, more precisely the possible sacrifices/fodders are:
- A copy of the same demon (ignoring level and rarity). (1 + demon's base rarity skill points) (recommended practice ONLY for 3★ and below)
- A demon of the same base rarity. (1 skill point) (not a recommended practice)
- A demon soul (obtained from encounters in the Aura Gate) of the same demon. (1 skill point)
- A Yasaka Magatama item (1 to 6 skill points, number of points equal to the item’s Stars) Don’t use your Yasaka Magatama on 3★ or lower rarity demons as duplicates or the same rarity can easily be fused or pulled from the gacha for skill points!
Transferring skills can be done in two ways:
- Using a demon with the skill you want to transfer, a donor. The donor may only transfer certain skills, marked with a DNA tag in their description. This is always the first skill, any skills received by transfer, and the bonus skill a Summoned demon receives (colloquially called "Gacha skill"). The user interface (UI) is well done, so there will be no problem performing what you seek to do.
- By default, the donor will die during the transfer process.
- If the skill you wish to transfer is on the last two skill slots, meaning the skill was a skill received by transfer or a Gacha skill, then you can use a Blank Genome to "harvest" the skill. Harvesting does not kill the demon.
- Using a Skill Genome with the name of the skill you wish to transfer. Skill Genomes are items that are obtained by summoning the skill (through gacha) or through the "harvesting" previously mentioned.
Skill points and transferred skills are lost when fusing. Skills are not lost when evolving, so feel free to power up! Once you have transferred a skill, you can replace it with another transferred skill using the same process. If you transfer the same skill again, the skill will level up and become more powerful!
Skills to transfer
Skill List has all the Skills in the game and in their corresponding category. The demons from which they can be transfered from is also listed. Each skill has also a wiki page listing all the demons the skill can be transfered from.
Basic and Cheap skills
When thinking about which skills should be transferred to a demon, consider these guidelines as a general rule for early-mid game:
- Does it have any weaknesses? If it has a single weakness, you should cover it up with a [Resist x] transfer, as the press turn system makes weaknesses deadly.
- Figure out the role that you want the demon to fulfill and give skills that fit it.
Here are cheap and basic skills obtainable by fusing the corresponding demon:
