Leveling Up Your Shikigami Guide

Uncategorized 5 Minutes

Shikigami

  1. Shikigami are obtained through Mystery Amulets or by collecting shards.
    1. Save your Mystery Amulets for events that increase the SSR draw rate from 1% (normal) to 2.5%.
    2. Exception: every week, use one amulet and then click the Twitter or Facebook icon (you don’t actually have to post it, just clicking the icon gets you get a bonus amulet, even if you don’t post).
    3. Every month there is a mystery pattern. If you draw it right, you get an extra amulet.
    4. If you buy an 11 pack of amulets in the mall, that’s 91 Jade/amulet.
    5. The cheapest amulet is 50 Jade and appear randomly as treasure chests in Demon Encounter.
    6. Cheap amulets also appear randomly in The Merchant (48-89 Jade).
    7. You can buy 2 amulets/week from Guild >> Shrine >> Feat Shop.
    8. You can buy 1 amulet/week with Medals.
    9. You can buy 1 amulet/week with Honor.
    10. Beware: NetEase often has stupid events to tempt you into spending your amulets, so that way you’ll have to spend real money to get more when you really need them.
    11. Broken Amulets are actually VERY important in order to G6. There are also special Summoning events where you get bonuses for using broken amulets, so try to keep 50-100 Broken Amulets around for these events.
    12. Use wishes in Guilds to get SR shards. To wish for a SSR shards, most people expect that you arrange a 1:1 trade for another SSR shard.
  2. Your first focus is to build a G6 farmer. A farmer is an AOE (area of effect) DPS (damage producing shiki).
    1. SSR farmers in order from best to worst include: Tamanomaoe, Ibaraki Doji, Ootengu, Onikiri, Susabi, Yoto Hime
    2. If you didn’t start with one of the above SSRs, then go with SR. SRs have the advantage that you can level their skills faster and they can be really good even at end game. Ubume is the standard choice, but Kisei, Kuro, or Kyohime are also excellent.
  3. Your first G6 takes a long time (2-3 months). While you’re doing that, also focus on building 1 orb provider, 1 accelerator, 1 healer, and 1 control unit. Do NOT spread yourself too thin by trying to build all your shiki at once. It will slow down your progress.
  4. Orb Provider: First build a G4 Zashiki with an Azure Basan soul set. Use G4 souls. Soul Slot 2 should be either Speed or HP. Soul Slots 4 and 6 should be HP/HP. The total speed of your Zashiki should be just a bit less than your fastest DPS.
    1. Your second Orb Provider after Zashiki will be either Oitsuki or Kaguya. Both need to be skilled up to be good. Zash is good right out of the box (yes she also gets better when skiled), and is useful throughout the whole game because she’s the most predictable and steady source of orbs.
  5. Accelerator: First build Yamausagi (aka Bunny). I recommend Fortune Cat or Azure Basan souls. Soul slot 2/4/6 should be SPD/HP/HP, with as much speed as possible. Bunny is useful throughout the whole game.
    1. Save extra copies of Bunny. There is a strategy called Frozen Time you need 3 to 4 Bunnies for.
    2. Your second accelerator will be Kamaitachi. Same souls. Needs to be skilled.
    3. There are other specialist accelerators, but don’t worry about them until later.
    4. The only SSR accelerator is Menreki
  6. Healer: Kusa will work for a while, but you really want to start with Hiyobiro or Momo. Both are excellent and their shards are farm-able, so you can skill them quickly. All heal rates are based on the shiki’s HP stat, so max this out as much as possible.
    1. Sakura is considered the best healer in the game when fully skilled and G6ed. Pearl is her standard soul.
    2. Hana is the main SSR healer.
    3. Shiki that produce shields like Ichimokuren (aka Ren) are like healers that can raise your HP above 100%.
  7. Frogs: Collect one of each. Don’t need to level them. Once you’ve got a full set, you get a SSR as a reward.
  8. Teams: Ultimately you will be building a couple essential teams
    1. Exp farming team (see below)
      1. 1x G6 AOE DPS
    2. Soul farming team (see below)
      1. 1x G6 AOE DPS + another G6 AOE or ST DPS
      2. Bunny
      3. Zash
    3. PVP
      1. Super complex, probably the most fun part of the game
    4. Realm Raid team
      1. Lots of possible combos. Most common are evil Double Pull teams or Counter Teams
    5. Secret Zone
      1. Typically tanky Counter Teams do best
    6. Daily Bosses
      1. 2x G6 ST DPS
      2. Ushi no Toki (damage booster)
      3. Bukkuman (damage recorder)
      4. Healer

Daruma

  1. To get your DPS to G6 you will need 5x G5 daruma.
    1. First, raise 25x white daruma to G2 Lv 20.
    2. Spend 50x Lv 1 N shiki (doesn’t matter what type) to upgrade the white daruma. Your white daruma are now G3 Lv 20.
    3. Raise 75x N shiki (see Fodder Farming) to G2 Lv 20.
    4. Spend 150x Lv 1 N shiki to upgrade the G2 Lv 20 N shiki. Your N shiki are now G3 lv 20.
    5. Raise the 25x white daruma to G3 Lv 25.
    6. Spend 75x G3 Lv 20 N shiki on the white daruma. Your white daruma are now G4 Lv 25.
    7. Pick 5x of the white daruma and raise them up to G4 Lv 30 (the remaining 20x white daruma stay at G4 Lv 25). I signify which 5 are the chosen ones by locking them.
    8. Spend 20x G4 Lv 20 white dauma on the chosen ones. Your white daruma are now G5 Lv 30.
    9. Don’t forget you have to G5 your shiki too, so you’ll need another 36 N shiki + 4 white daruma
    10. Total per G6 shiki: 236 N shiki (87 of which need to be raised to lv 20) + 29 white daruma
    11. Before you have a G6 farmer, this process will take 2-3 months. After you have a farmer, you can pump out about 1 G6 per month if you’re dedicated.
  2. Blue and Red Daruma: These exist to help you get to G6 faster. My process is:
    1. First raise your Red Daruma to Lv 4 or Lv5
    2. The amount of EXP needed to do this is actually very small. I mainly use Secret Zones 1-3 to do this while I’m doing Daily Quests anyway.
    3. Feed 2x Lv4 and 1x Lv 5 Red Daruma to a Blue Daruma. Your Blue Daruma is now Lv 12.
    4. A level 12 Blue Daruma will provide enough exp to level up an N Shiki to G3 Lv 20, or a White Daruma to
  3. Black Daruma: These are the most precious resource in the game. They are hard to get and are the main way to skill up your SSR. Getting a Black Daruma is like getting a SSR! You can never have enough of them!
    1. Once you get, one, lock it and don’t touch it. You do not need to level it up.
    2. Be sure to buy the weekly Skill Daruma from the mall for 500 medals.
    3. Buy the weekly Skill Daruma Shards with 540 Honor/each.
    4. Buy the weekly Skill Daruma Shard Pack from the Shrine >> Feat Shop (200 Feat Medals).
    5. Beat Nether World Lv 50 every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for 3x Black Daruma shards (or have a friend carry you to Lv 50).
    6. Beat the daily Demon Encounter Boss for 1x-2x Black Daruma shards.
    7. Level up Usagi to Lv 30. His bio gives you a free Black Daruma.
    8. Visit Mall >> Pack >> Free Skill Daruma daily for 50x days.
