Basics

Example of a Transcend grid
  • Transcend is a method for upgrading demons' stats, as well as adding an additional skill slot and "skill switch" slots. It is unlocked by clearing the Chapter 3 Epilogue.
  • Transcend requires Icon Transcend Stone.png "Transcend Stones". You can obtain these from:
    • Event rewards
    • Exchanging "Transcend Motes" for Stones in the shop.
  • Icon Transcend Motes.png 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, parchments, etc!
  • 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 Icon Transcend Motes.png Motes for 1 Icon Transcend Stone.png 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
TranscendIcon Green HP.png (green) HP +20 x25
TranscendIcon Green PDef.png (green) Phys Def +20 x8
TranscendIcon Green MDef.png (green) Mag Def +20 x8
TranscendIcon Blue PAtk.pngTranscendIcon Blue PDef.pngTranscendIcon Blue MAtk.pngTranscendIcon Blue MDef.png (blue) [stat] +25 x5
TranscendIcon SkillSwitch.png Skill Switch x3
TranscendIcon SkillSlot.png Skill Slot x1
  • For the blue stat panels, each demon is automatically assigned one stat out of: TranscendIcon Blue PAtk.png Phys Atk, TranscendIcon Blue PDef.png Phys Def, TranscendIcon Blue MAtk.png Mag Atk, or TranscendIcon Blue MDef.png 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).

Costs

  • The amount of Icon Transcend Stone.png Stones needed per panel will vary by their type and position in the grid:
    • TranscendIcon Green HP.pngTranscendIcon Green PDef.pngTranscendIcon Green MDef.png Green stat panels - These initially cost 1 Stone each, but increase to 2 Stones each after moving downwards from the second Skill Switch Panel. This amounts to 22 panels that cost 1 Stone, and 19 panels that cost 2 Stones.
    • TranscendIcon Blue PAtk.pngTranscendIcon Blue PDef.pngTranscendIcon Blue MAtk.pngTranscendIcon Blue MDef.png Blue stat panels - the first three will cost 2 Stones each, while the fourth and fifth cost 4 Stones each.
    • TranscendIcon SkillSwitch.png Skill Switch panels - The first one costs 2 stones, while the second and third cost 4 stones each.
    • TranscendIcon SkillSlot.png 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 Icon Transcend Motes.png 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 Icon Transcend Motes.png Motes for min-cost skill slot
5★ 3,750
4★ 1,125
1★ - 3★ 375
