Quick guide for newer players bc I feel like I see these questions a lot and the GC scrolls so fast it's hard to figure out the answers

under a readmore bc it got massive sorry

1. Ripples - there is no guaranteed way to spawn ripples, they appear at random from doing Sonic and Ritual Miracles. You'll most commonly find them while doing multibattles but I'm pretty sure they can spawn from singles. I've heard they have a 1/3% chance of spawning but I have no idea if that's confirmed.

2. If you want to at(@) someone in world chat go to their profile picture and hold it. Then check the typing space and their name should be there. It doesn't actually notify them but it's a little easier to spot.

3. Espers - Dhalia and Suhua are ripple exclusive, Melanie is only available from the club shop, and Lucas is only from completing the Spacial Tower (but is available to pull afterwards). The two event espers (Meredith and Aurelius) aren't available from pulls at the moment. You can get Aurelius from the shop but Meredith isn't going to be available for a while from what I've heard.

4. Starimon - promotion material. You can level them up but sometimes you shouldn't- for example, the ones you can get from Disassembling Espers are Level 30 Rare Starimon and (once per week) Level 40 Epic Starimon, which are both at the max level and ready to be promoted (promote them). Pay attention to the star rating because the background colors and names can be confusing. And don't level up Level 1 Epic Starimon. Promotion requires the same number of equivalent materials as the current star rank- a 3 star esper needs 3 3 star materials, a 4 star needs 4, and a 5 star needs five. Also always resonate espers before using them as materials because resonating gives a starimon of equivalent rarity.

5 - Relics - less of a question itself more of multiple building questions which come down to about the same thing. Relics have main and substats. First thing though is sell any 2 or 3 Star Relics, and sell most 4 Star Relics after early game. You will need the money.

5a. Relic main stats - sell any Square, Circle, or Spade Relics with flat stats (eg no percentage) EXCEPT FOR SPADE RELICS WITH SPEED. Spades are the only ones that can have that stat and it's very important.

5b. Substats - this is less hard and fast but generally I sell Relics with only 2/3 substats that have one or more flat stats. Unlike triangle diamond and hexagon Relics substats do not have to be flat, so if a relic has too many it's going to reduce the chance of upgrading more useful stats. Again this excludes Speed which is a VERY important stat.

6. AP and Speed - AP stands for Action Points and is measured (I've heard) 1 to 100 and is visually represented by the little progress bar with the esper icons. An esper's Speed stat affects how fast they gain AP, but some abilities also affect it. AP control is very important because it determines when you or your opponent can take your turns. It makes Point War a nightmare

7. I don't know if there's a way to turn of animations for the third skill I have never seen a definitive answer.

8. You get M-Coins from quests and they don't do anything besides give you bonus rewards from the M-Pass. Still worthwhile for free stuff but that's all they do.

I didn't expect for this to get so long but I hope this helps at least a bit! Feel free to ask questions if anything doesn't make sense.
