Basics

Example of a Transcend grid
  • Transcend is a method for upgrading demons' stats, as well as add an additional skill slot and "skill switch" slots. It is unlocked by clearing the Chapter 3 Epilogue.
  • Transcend requires "Transcend Stones". You can obtain these from:
    • Event rewards
    • Exchanging "Transcend Motes" for stones in the shop.
  • Transcend Motes are obtained by summoning on certain banners.
    • Pulling a 3★ gives 1 Mote
    • 4★ gives 5 Motes
    • 5★ gives 35 Motes
    • Generally speaking, you can only get Motes from banners that cost gems. You cannot get Motes from free summon files, hell buns, or parchment pulls!
  • You may only perform the Motes-to-Stones exchange for demons that you have raised to level 50.
  • The exchange rate for Motes-to-Stones will vary by a demon's base rarity:
Base Rarity Motes for 1 Stone
5★ 50
4★ 15
1★ - 3★ 5
  • Transcend Stones, much like Spirits, are unit-specific - This means that, for example, Barong.jpg Barong Transcend Stones cannot be used to upgrade Michael.jpg Michael.
  • Transcend grid progress applies to all demons of that type - For example: if you Transcended a Pixie.jpg Pixie, then that upgrade applies to all Pixies that you own, and all Pixies that you obtain later on.

Transcend Grid

  • Transcend Stones can be spent to unlock panels on a demon's Transcend grid.
  • All Transcend grids have the same general shape.
  • Each grid contains 50 panels, split up into these types and quantities:
Type Quantity
(green) HP +20 x25
(green) Phys Def +20 x8
(green) Mag Def +20 x8
(blue) [stat] +25 x5
Skill Switch x3
Skill Slot x1
  • For the blue stat panels, each demon is automatically assigned one stat out of: Phys Atk, Phys Def, Mag Atk, or Mag Def. Their blue stat panels will only boost their one assigned stat (for example, Gogmagog.jpg Gogmagog's blue stat panels will only boost his Phys Def).
  • The amount of Stones needed per panel will vary by their type and position in the grid:
    • Green stat panels initially cost 1 Stone each, but increase to 2 Stones each after going downwards from the second Skill Switch Panel. This amounts to 22 panels that cost 1 Stone, and 19 panels that cost 2 Stones.
    • Blue stat panels will initially cost 2 Stones, but increase to 4 Stones each starting with the fourth blue stat panel. This amounts to 3 panels that cost 2 stones, and 2 panels that cost 4 stones.
    • The first Skill Switch panel costs 2 stones, while the second and third cost 4 stones each.
    • The Skill Slot panel costs 10 stones.
  • In total, unlocking all 50 panels for a demon will cost 94 stones.
    • [(22 * 1) + (19 * 2)] + [(3 * 2) + (2 * 4)] + [(1 * 2) + (2 * 4)] + [(1 * 10)] = 94
    • In Motes, that will cost the following:
Base Rarity Total Motes for 50 panels
5★ 4,700
4★ 1,410
1★ - 3★ 470
  • If you only want the extra skill slot, and skip all non-required panels to get there, you will need a minimum of 75 stones.
    • 94 - (13 * 1) - (3 * 2) = 75
    • In Motes, that will cost the following:
Base Rarity Total Motes for min-cost skill slot
5★ 3,750
4★ 1,125
1★ - 3★ 375
