Karma
Accumulating Karma
There is no place to directly harvest Karma. You accumulate Karma by selling 3★, 4★ and 5★ demons. The profit for selling demons depends on several factors, including which demons are sold, how they are obtained, how hard it is to obtain them, and how much and what it costs to obtain them. The table below contains the costs for some of the cheapest demons (rounded up):
| Demon | Cost | Profit | Rates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3★ Clear | rare demon talk | 1 Karma | 1 Demon/Karma |
| 3★ Colored | 50~100 Gems | 10 Karma | 5~10 Gems/Karma |
| 4★ Clear | Sandalphon: 171k Mag + about 13 1★ Clear Demons | 30 Karma | 5700 Mag/Karma |
| 4★ Colored | Sandalphon: 50-100 Gems + 2 1★ Clear Demon + 330k Mag | 300 Karma | 5-10 Gems + ~1100 Mag/Karma |
| 5★ Clear | Alilat: about 1M Mag + 60 1★ Clear Demons | 250 Karma | ~3850 Mag/Karma |
| 5★ Colored | Lilith: 50-100 Gems + about 36 1★ Clear Demons + 3.7M Karma | 2500 Karma | 5-10 Gems + ~1500 Mag/Karma |
As can be seen, the best Karma rates are obtained by selling fused 4★ Colored Demons, because the procedure to obtain "Gacha Demons" with Gems will surely crowd up the inventory with lots of useless 3★ Colored Demons, so fusing them into 4★ Colored Demons makes their 5 Gem cost irrelevant (they'd be spent anyway).
From time to time, some demons get fusion price discounts, usually ranging from 10 to 20% cut, making the conversion rates even more attractive.
It's best to plan for the Colored Demon fusion to be the last, that is, the Colored Demon should directly yield a 4★ Demon, otherwise, more MAG will be spent fusing 1-3★ Colored Demons.
Important tips:
- Do not sell 5★ Demons, EVER! Unwanted 5★ Demons should be spiritized to unlock Panels of same type Demons or to enhance Armaments in Alter-World.
- Karma shouldn't be "farmed," that is, do not pull/summon Colored Demons with Gems for the sake of "farming" Karma. Colored Demons, mainly 3★, will naturally pile up as one goes through banners to try getting rare Demons, so there will be plenty to be sold for their Karma.
Not every 3★ and 4★ Demons are suitable for being sold:
- if they have rare or useful transferable Gacha skills, you should keep them as transferable skill fodders (see Skill Transfer#Advanced skills - Hoarding Demons for their Gacha skills for a list of rare transferable Gacha skills).
- Common (aka Clear) Archetype demons should not be sold as they yield little Karma and are more useful as fusion material.
- Gacha demons (aka non-fusable) are not to be sold.
- 4★ can be useful for Democalypse (bi-weekly Faction Event) at least as long as you still lack 5★s. Anubis and Titania are the most notable decent 4★ to keep for Democalypse (check the Democalypse article and the Tier List to evaluate which ones you want to keep).
- That being said, as you go through the game, gathering Magnetite to fuse 4★ will become quite easy. So, you shouldn't worry too much about selling fusable 4★.
A few "useless" fusable demons should be kept for future fusions you may want to perform. Good fusion materials are high Grade demons, so you may want to keep the highest Grade 3 and 4 ★ demons. You would probably want them to be of diverse colors, in case you need to fuse a demon in a precise Archetype.
Only sell demons if you immediately need an Arch-Shifter or you feel flooded with too many Demons and are urged to do some cleaning.
As of Patch 3.2.00, you can sell 4★ Genomes (100 Karma) and 5★ Genomes (1000 Karma) in the Items menu. However, due to the scarcity of 4/5★ Genomes, it is ill-advised to sell Genomes for Karma. It is possible to obtain a supply of 4/5★ Genome by spending 250 Duel Points on Elemental Skill Boxes which hand out 4/5★ Genomes. The Almighty Skill Box contains not very useful almighty attacks such as Necro Dogma which are considered 5★ Genomes at the cost of 500 Duel Points. As of September 2020, reaching Diamond 1 in PvP at the end of each ranked season will net you a "H" elemental skill such as Maragidyne H which is useful for Democalypse, but also are 5★ Genomes worth 1000 karma.
