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.
  • 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: Icon Special 5 Star Choice File.png Special (2.5 anniv) Choice File

This file is the one most-frequently given-out through events, so it's common for people to make decisions based on this one.

The decision process for this file can be simplified as follows:

  • If you don't have an ailment-immune cleanser, you should get Purple Purple Daisoujou.jpg Daisoujou.
  • Otherwise, you should get one of the following (in order of highest-to-lowest priority):

If you're looking for good gacha skills instead:

Similar logic to the above, but you CANNOT pick the following demons from this file:
