Overview

Welcome to the connections guide. As some of you have no luck in the beginning for summons, the game has some characters that you can farm and get through connections. We will be going over all the units you can get and recommend the ones that you should be getting.

Available Connections

Lorina (Dark 3★)(Recommended)

Lorina is one of the best characters to get if you don’t have a strong single target DPS unit. She is comparable to most 4/5★ single target attacker. The good part about her is that she is a dark unit, so she does not get a penalty in doing less damage due to elemental disadvantage. Below is a video of a 5★ Lorina doing test damage to Celestial Mercedes in 10-10 normal difficulty:

Connection Tasks

1. Complete 50 Dispatch Missions – This one is easy. Just keep doing dispatch missions from the High Command in your sanctuary. If you have level 1 buildings for Adminstration, Floating Station and Barracks, I recommend that you do the 1 stamina missions that takes 2 hours. They are the best bang for your buck when it comes to rewards.

2. Nurture 2 MolaGora in the Forest of Souls – This one is also easy but takes time. You can get MolaGora seeds from special events, the transmit stone shop, conquest point shop and guild shop. So you can get 3 a week if you buy them each week.

3. Eliminate 300 Church of Ilryos Devotees – This one takes time and I recommend the following areas:

4-9 normal. This you can’t fully auto as it is a dungeon. You can take on 20-35 of them in 1 single run, which is very effective when it comes to cost/stamina ratio.
4-9 world. The harder version but also drops Blazing Soul catalyst, which is a requirement to get Yuna. The grind is long and hard.
4-8 normal/world – This stage you can auto and is the best one to do if you don’t want to manual farm.

Recommended set: Attack/Crit or Lifesteal/Crit (Abyss set after you complete floor 35). She hits very hard and you can speciality change her to make her even more powerful.

Silk (Earth 4★)(Recommended)

Silk is one of the best PvP speed starter due to her high speed and also her 3rd skill giving her speed boost to all allies. Her first skill scales off speed and her second skill is a passive that reduces enemy combat readiness when she attacks, allowing you to give your team more turns in the long run. She is useful in Abyss towers and PvP mainly. Also a candidate for Banshee Hunt if you need a speed support.

Check out how some players are using Silk in their adventures:

Connection Tasks

1. Improve 7 Hero Friendship to Level 4 – Bring your Heroes to farm at 1-5 Stage(only costs 2 stamina) – Use Way point to exit the Portal – Almost 3 times more effect than normal stages. Keep in mind you can do this for other connections like Jecht. Check out this video below.

2. Make Friends – Setup you Supporter Team – Use stranger’s supporters and send them requests. You will get them eventually.

3. Give Hero A Gift – Finish Daily Mission – Sell natural 3 Stars, but make sure not to sell Kluri, Tiera, Hazel or any character you want to use in the future.

4. Eliminate Special Creatures in Adventure – Try 5-1 or 5-2(Dungeon) and kill the Azimanus. Have a look below to find these monsters:

Do 5-1 if you just want to auto and 5-2 if you want to manual and get more per run. Another option is to do 3-2.

Recommended set: Speed/Hp for Arena, Speed/Crit for PvE

Hazel (Flame 3★)(Recommended)

Hazel is a prerequisite to getting Yuna, which we will get to in the next section. She can also be puled from the covenant summon if you are lucky.

Hazel is actually a decent healer that has a 2 turn team attack buff + heal, which is super useful in PvE and low arena PvP. She will also be getting speciality change soon as mentioned on their official facebook post. That means she will be even stronger than she is currently, kind of how Kluri becomes very good once she changes to Falconer Kluri.

She is also a good golem farmer with her skill kit. Her first skill has 35% heal block, which can help against the heal the tree minion likes to use midway in battle.

Connection Tasks

1. Conquer Abyss Floor 20 – Needs 7 days to complete this as you can only do 3 Abyss floors a day.

2. Pray to a Goddess Statue 80 Times – You can find these statues easily in your Labyrinth runs and also regular map or special event runs. Just takes a bit of time. They look like these, in green or blue version.

3. Eliminate 300 Mysterious Magic Test Subjects – This one takes a small grind but below is the best area for farming these little broomsticks:

Recommended set: Attack/Hp

Yuna (Ice 5★)(Recommended)

Yuna, the only natural 5★ on the connections list. She is quite a versatile character. She has attack buff + speed on her second skill. Her first and third skill can be AoE or single target. She is classified as a support attacker. She can be used in Wyvern teams and also useful in Abyss towers and Labyrinth raids to help your team get more turns before the enemy.

Connection Tasks

1. Reach Friendship Level 3 with Hazel – You will need to get Hazel first to start this quest. You can do the quick 1-5 run for friendship points only or just level her per usual to get it.

2. Gift Ultra Fang Catalysts – (6-1) only drops Ultra Fangs as their catalyst; (5-7) is another good alternative (I used this one), but it drops two catalysts. There are plenty of other maps that drop the Ultra Fangs, but these are the widely spoken ones.

3. Gift 6 Twisted Fang Catalysts – (8-s2) is the map I used. Alternatively, (8-4) has more chances to give you the Twisted Fang. You can also try the Destina event’s 7th stage on World difficulty if you’re still grinding her currency. I don’t advise this, because the rates there are horrible, so switch off if you’re finished farming. In the end, it’s all RNG!

4. Gift 3 Blazing Soul Catalyst – (4-9/World difficulty) is the only place to acquire this catalyst. Each run took about 5 minutes whilst autoing. The boss you’ll fight is the Banshee Queen with her four minions spawning at half health. Prepare a good Earth team if you want to auto AND finish the map faster.

5. Eliminate 800 Machinery – (Normal 2-9) nets you 18 kills through the dungeon, and consumes 10 stamina. The keyword is labyrinth, so you’ll have to pay attention by clicking where to turn and where to teleport to. (2-8) is linear, but only nets 9 kills, and requires 8 stamina. I picked (2-9).

World 2-9 is also a great place and its a direct map, so you can auto.

Here is another method…

iMoneypit had posted on reddit on this following strategy where you spend 8 energy to do it all in 1 map:

I’m not sure if anyone already posted this but here it goes. You can farm all of Yuna’s 800 kills with one run in 2-9 normal mode.

All you have to do is go into the node with a healer, preferably Destina, with no dps or support.

You then kill up to where you can take a right and come across two alarm bots and one robot with a shield.

First you kill the large robot.

Then you use one or both heals on your healer until the alarm bots spawn their minions.

Then all you do is keep killing minions one by one while the alarm bots keep spawning more. You can keep at it indefinitely until you reach 800.

Hope this helps anyone looking to not burn a ton of their energy farming Yuna now that her epic catalysts are available easily. (Pics added for examples just in case I didn’t come across clearly).

Recommended set: Speed/Hp for PvP or Attack/Crit for PvE

Aither (Ice 3★)

You get him/her(?) right at the start of the game after clearing adventure 1-2 normal mode. He is a decent starter healer but later on if you pull or get Hazel, Angelica, Achates, Lots or Destina, she will fade in the background. She is still useful though, especially if you have terrible luck with getting good healers.

I suggest you 5 star her until you are able to pull another decent healer mentioned above. You can then feed her later to either her light version (Guider Aither) or feed it to make a 6 star unit. She is definitely a big help in the early game when you are doing normal adventure mode.

Recommended set: Attack/Hp

Alexa (Ice 3★)

Alexa is a good starter unit. Her second skill can give 2 stacks of poison and is useful against Wyvern or any high hp bosses that are not Earth element. Her damage isn’t as good as Sez or Karin but you can get her if you need a decent attacker.

Connection Tasks

1. Clear The Sword Training Ground of Labyrinth – Complete Zone 2 of Tirel Castle in Chaos.

2. Eliminate 200 Monsters in Adventure – Any map will do!

3. Gift 1 Small Sun Badge Crystal – There are many areas that drop these. Below are the locations:

3-7, 3S-3,
4-2-8, 4-2-9,
7-6,
9-1-3, 9-1-4, 9-1-5, 9-2-10
10-1, 10-3, 10-5, 10-7, 10-9, 10-S1

Recommended set: Attack/Crit or Crit/Crit/Crit

Jecht (3★)

Jecht is a bit of an underrated unit and people often overlook him since he is a 3 star unit. Someone on the Korean server cleared Abyss floor 80 with Jecht in this video:

He has a cleanse passive on his second skill much like the artifact Wonderous Potion that removes 1 debuff from you or your ally. His third skill is a team regen + speed buff. His first skill decreases enemy hit chance.

If you can’t pull decent healers, he can do a good job by keeping your team healthy.

Connection Tasks

1. Camp in Labyrinth 10 times – Easy one to achieve. Can be done in 10 days if you do it daily.

2. Send aid to your fellow Guild members 100 times – This one can be tricky. At the begnning, everyone needs catalysts and upgrade materials, so people giving away tougher catalysts will be rare, but it just takes longer.

3. Eliminate 300 Wild Animals – This is easy. You can do this in region 1 and 2 killing wolfs and a few other types.

Recommended set: Speed/Hp or Hp/Hp/Hp

Elson (3★)

Used to be very good until it got hit by nerfs due to him being too good for a 3★ unit alongside Tieria and Rikoris. He is still decent though since he has the all important attack + defense buff in his 3rd skill. It has a huge cooldown of 6 turns.

If you skill upgrade it, then its 5 turns. Using a soul burn extends the buff by 1 turn, so it is pretty good still. His second skill is a weak AoE attack with a minor heal. His first skill gives attack down, but it is only 1 turn.

Connection Tasks

1. Reach Account Rank 5 – Easy, just level up!

2. Complete 30 Battles with a Supporter – Pick anyone and friend the strong ones!

3. Gift 300 Stigma – You can get these in adventure mode and Abyss tower as well.

Recommended set: Speed/Hp or Hp/Hp/Hp

Cartuja (4★)

Due to having to get Jecht first, Cartuja is a lot harder to get. You will need to use Jecht and if you don’t really like him, then Cartuja is not going to be easy to get. He is a tank bruiser that scales with Hp.

He has a defense break on the first skill, increased combat readiness on the second skill (passive) and AoE attack down. He also deals more damage when below 50% health. The more he gets attacked, the more he moves. He is definitely an arena character.

Connection Tasks

1. Complete 50 Urgent Missions – This takes forever. You need to do enough adventure or special event maps to get them randomly.

2. Reach Friendship Level 6 with Jecht – You can use the adventure 1-5 method, but it will take quite a while.

3. Gift 800,000 Gold – Self explanatory.

4. Eliminate 600 Bellmice – I personally will do 3-3 (normal or world difficulty) to get this one. Will be easy since the urgent missions will take you even longer.

Recommended set: Hp/Hp/Hp or Hp/Def/Def

Crozet (4★)

Crozet is a defensive tank and can protect teammates with barrier. His first skill decreases attack for 1 turn, 2nd skill is the barrier passive that casts when ally health goes below 50%. His third skill is an AoE combat readiness decrease against enemies.

I think his first skill is quite weak due to only a attack down for 1 turn. But his third skill is pretty good in the arena.

Connection Tasks

1. Eliminate 90 Elite Monsters in Labyrinth – You want to fight Labyrinth mini bosses with the golden aura.

2. Reach Devotion Skill Grade S with 5 Heroes – You will have to use 3 star heroes to achieve these. In order to do so, you need to feed the same copies of the heroes to get it. Very tedious process too!

3. Gift 6 Order of the Shield Insignia Catalysts – Farm 6-2, 6-3 or 6-10.

4. Eliminate 600 Undead – I suggest 3-5 and 3-7 as they give Bone Flaked Bone catalyst.

Recommended set: Hp/Def/Def

Maya (4★)

Maya is a stall tank with single target crowd control. Her first skill can stun, her second skill can stun at a 80% chance and her third skill is an team defense buff and AoE provoke, but only at 35%.

She is not very useful for bosses as most of them are stun immune, but she is definitely useful in the arena!

Connection Tasks

1. Reach Gold III League in Arena – Might take a while depending on whether you have a solid team setup. A good 5★ team with attack buff and defense break should get you there. Could change as the game progresses and many people have more 6★ units.

2. Eliminate 200 Boss Monsters in Adventure – If you farm catalysts, go to boss maps so you can do this as well.

3. Reach Level 40 with 10 Heroes – You get these just by playing the game and leveling heroes.

4. Gift 6 Blessing of the Orbis Catalysts – There are many areas you can do, but my personal favorite is 4-10. Other easy maps include 1-6,1-7 and 2-1.

Recommended set: Hp/Def/Def or Counter/Def

That concludes the connections guide. Hope this helps!
