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.

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: 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, you should get Daisoujou.
- Non-exhaustive list of examples: Mahamayuri, Maria (panel 1 preferably), Okuninushi, Party Pixie (with Prayer transferred), Kinmamon (with Prayer transferred).
- Daisoujou's color doesn't matter too much, 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 (pick Red or Yellow, then shift to Purple)
- Alice (pick Teal, then shift to Purple)
- Anat (pick Red or Yellow, then shift to Purple)
- Baal (pick Red or Yellow, then shift to Purple)
- Mot (pick Yellow, then shift to Purple)
Skills
If you're mainly looking for good gacha skills:
- Damage Boosters
- Master Assassin - Red Anat, Red Baal
- Butcher - Red Guan Yu
- Phys Amp - Yellow Guan Yu
- Elec Enhancement - Yellow Anat
- Force Enhancement - Yellow Baal
- Dark Enhancement - Red Tzitzimitl
- Auto-buffs
- Auto-Taruka - Red Huang Di
- Auto-Rakuka - Yellow Mot
- Auto-Sukuka - Yellow Nergal, Yellow Yoshitsune
- Auto-debuffs
- Auto-Tarunda - Red Daisoujou, Red Orcus, Yellow Trumpeter
- Auto-Rakunda - Purple Ixtab
- Auto-Sukunda - Yellow Siegfried
- Accuracy/Evasion
- Rare single-target attack skills (for Democalypse)
- God's Hand - Red Yoshitsune
- Trisagion - Purple Trumpeter
- Ice Age - Purple Rama
- Thunder Reign - Teal Alice
- Misc
- Null Phys - Yellow Huang Di
- Life Surge - Teal Tzitzimitl
- Epitome of Madness - Yellow Tzitzimitl
2nd Anniv. Choice File
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):
- Masakado (top priority, above Yoshitsune) (pick Purple)
- Tokisada (around Anat or Baal's priority) (pick Yellow, then shift to Purple)
Skills
Regarding gacha skills, Auto-Rebellion from Yellow Marici or Yellow Tokisada is extremely valuable for harvesting and transferring to Panel 3 Zaou-Gongen.
- For this reason it's highly recommended to pick Yellow Tokisada from this file, netting you this skill as well as a strong demon (color-wise Tokisada prefers Purple, but you can just shift his color later).
Notable gacha skills:
- Damage Boosters:
- Epitome of Carnage - Yellow Red Rider
- Phys Amp - Red Red Rider
- Ice Amp - Red Black Rider
- Force Amp - Red Pale Rider
- Ice Enhancement - Red Frost Ace
- Light Enhancement - Teal Tokisada
- Auto-buffs:
- Auto-Taruka - Purple Masakado
- Auto-Rakuka - Teal Masakado
- Auto-Sukuka - Red Marici
- Auto-Rebellion - Yellow Marici, Yellow Tokisada
- Auto-debuffs:
- Auto-Rakunda - Red Masakado
- Auto-Sukunda - Yellow Masakado
- Rare single-target attack skills (for Democalypse)
- God's Hand - Purple Red Rider
- Ice Age - Purple Black Rider
- Killing Wind - Purple Pale Rider
- Misc
- Epitome of Fortitude - Yellow Black Rider
- Epitome of Madness - Yellow Pale Rider
Update Choice File
Compared to the 3rd anniv file, Flauros is now available.
- Flauros is good for 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
Demons
Compared to the Update Choice File, this adds Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael.
- These three are core to the Archangels team archetype. Of the three, Gabriel is the most important, followed by Uriel, and Raphael is in last place.
- Archangels has largely fallen off in PvP, so these demons' main use is for Democalypse ( Elec for Gabriel, Fire for Uriel, Force for Raphael, and Light for all three). Consider picking them if you need some more damage in those elements.
- If you don't have the high-priority picks mentioned earlier though, those are more important than the archangels.
Skills
Notable gacha skills:
- Damage Boosters:
- Light Enhancement - Red Gabriel, Red Raphael, Red Uriel
- Auto-debuffs:
- Auto-Tarunda - Teal Raphael
- Auto-Rakunda - Yellow Uriel
- Auto-Sukunda - Yellow Gabriel
- Rare single-target attack skills (for Democalypse)
