Tokyo Afterschool Summoners' uses a battle system similar to a very basic turn-based strategy game. All information about it can be found on this page.

Basics of Battle

Most battles in Tokyo Afterschool Summoners requires you to fight a 4-phase battle against CPU-controlled enemy units. The player and enemy alternate turns, starting with the player, moving units around and attacking opposing units until all units on one side are defeated.

  • If the player's units are all defeated, you can either fail the battle and quit out or refresh your units at the cost of a rainbow gem.
  • If the enemy's units are all defeated, the player moves onto the next phase, or if it is the last phase, finish the battle and collect your rewards.


Each turn consists of two parts: Movement and Attack.

  • During Movement, you can move one of your units to another area adjacent to it, including diagonals, so long as it is within the Safe Area.
  • During Attack, each of your units will attack any enemy within their attack range in order starting from the topmost unit in your unit list, ordering your units correctly can be important to make the most of skills that activate when attacking. See the Weapons and Elements for more details.


Once both parts have been completed, the turn ends, and the opposing player begins their turn.

Advanced Battle Information

During Movement, it is possible to move multiple units at once. Simply move a unit into a space that another unit occupies, and the two will trade places. By keeping a unit in a central position, it is possible to move many units at once into strategic positions. It is also possible, although difficult, to move a unit two cells away without swapping with another unit and to a diagonally-adjacent cell (For example, moving to the north-east without "touching" the north or east space).

Units with smaller ranges can have trouble hitting enemies in back rows. However, the Danger Area shrinks and grows to however far there are enemies. If you take out all the enemies in the front row, that area can be yours to control if no enemies occupy it at the start of your next turn. Use this to your advantage if you plan on using a lot of 1.00x ATK penaltyBlow or 0.45x ATK penaltySlash users. Note that enemies can take advantage of this too, so if you need to run and heal, enemies will start to occupy your area.

As a follow up to the above, if you're fighting on a wide battle field with a lot of 1.00x ATK penaltyBlow and 0.45x ATK penaltySlash enemies, clear out all the enemies on one side, then stick a unit to maintain your safe area, while 0.45x ATK penaltyShot units pick off all the other units on the other side of the field safely from rows further back. The enemy will have to go across the entire field to damage anything, which is valuable time you can spend killing them for free instead.

Each time one of your units attacks or gets attacked, its CP% raises a little bit. Once it reaches 100%, the following turn that unit will use their charge attack instead of their regular attack. Note that you cannot stop a unit from using its charge attack if its CP is at 100%, so if you want to save it for a later turn, you need to move it to a position where it attacks no enemies. Charge attacks can also have a different range than normal attacks, such as 3* Cusith's charge attack having 0.28x ATK penaltyMagic range, even though his normal attack has 1.00x ATK penaltyBlow range. CP can also be charged from certain status buffs to allow you to use them more frequently.

Buffs and debuffs applied to your units can be viewed in depths by tapping their icon in the team list, you can also check ennemy units by tapping and holding them.

Stats

Currently, the game has two stats: HP and ATK. Every unit has their own base stats and a growth curve unique to each stat.

Level and Skill Seed

Seeds are geared towards increasing stats of all variants of a unit.

So far, there's HP Seed, ATK Seed, Level Seed, and Skill Seed.

Each Seed increases their correlated stat (that is, HP stat increase, ATK stat increase, card max Level increase, and Skill Activation Percentage increase).

A single Seed will increase its correlated stat by one, while the double Seed raises a stat by three, yet the triple Seed increases by ten.

HP Seed and ATK Seed seeds do not require any special conditions for the unit, while Level Seed requires the unit to be at absolute max level (implies max Limit Break), and Skill Seed requires Skill Level 100.

Currently, the limit to how much HP and ATK can be raised by Seeds is 1000 points each, while Level Seed and Skill Seed can only increase their correlated stat by 10.

Sacred Artifact Level

Units have an additional level parameter: Sacred Artifact level, which determines the strength of a unit's charge attack. This value is increased by acquiring duplicate units. Typically, duplicate s increase this level by 20, s increase by 5, and the remaining lower rarities merely increases by 1.

Relationships (Affinity Burst)

Relationships between units (Like, Dislike, Love, etc.) can play a role in how you'll clear a quest; moving a unit adjacent to another with a relationship (love/like/dislike/rival) to or from said moved unit will grant buffs to the source of the relationship. Each buff will last for 3 turns.

Love

+300 HP at the end of turn
Friendship.png

Like

Anger.png

Dislike

Small attack up (x1.1 multiplier)
Envy.png

Rival

+5-7 CP generation at the end of the turn

For examples:

  • moving Nomad adjacent to Macan will give Macan the Friendship buff (since Macan likes Nomad) and Nomad the Anger buff (since Nomad dislikes Macan).
  • moving Gunzo adjacent to Ashigara will grant Gunzou the Friendship buff, but Ashigara won't get any buff.

Boost Function

Starting from the 2017 Christmas Event, during special Event Quests, the Boost Function is a supplementary system aimed to provide party-wide buffs that typically last the entire battle.

With both the 2017 Christmas Event and 2018 Summer Festival Event, you can obtain special consumable items from item drops or the event item exchange shop.

With the 2018 Valentine's Event, the Boost Function was used via relationships between two units. Similar to this, the Distant Gendarme Event, non-consumed strategies (formations) provided boosts in a manner similar to relationships, but required units to be positioned a certain way.

Weapons and Energies

Each unit wields a certain weapon type and element, which acts as a multiplier on their base damage. Furthermore, each weapon type attacks in a different range. The weapon types, damage multipliers, and ranges are listed below:

Weapon Type Range Multiplier
1.00x ATK penaltyBlow (Fist) 1 space in front of unit 1.0x base attack
0.45x ATK penaltySlash (Sword) 3 spaces in front of unit horizontally 0.45x base attack
0.55x ATK penaltyThrust (Spear) 2 spaces in front of unit vertically 0.55x base attack
0.45x ATK penaltyShot (Bow) 3 spaces in front of unit vertically 0.45x base attack
0.28x ATK penaltyMagic (0.28x ATK penaltyMagic Rod) 5 tiles in a plus (+) shape in front of unit 0.28x base attack
0.26x ATK penaltySnipe (Gun) 5 spaces in front of unit vertically 0.26x base attack
0.32x ATK penaltyLong Slash 5 spaces in front of unit horizontally 0.32x base attack
Icon weapon none.pngTypeless (All) covers the entire board 0.10x base attack

Furthermore, energies (attributes, elements) also multiply damage. Attacking an enemy disadvantageous to your unit's energy doubles damage, while attacking an enemy advantageous against your unit's energy halves damage. There are 5 main energies in the game, Element fire.pngFIRE, Element water.pngWATER, Element earth.pngWOOD, Element light.pngAETHER, and Element dark.pngNETHER, with 4 special energies: Element evil.pngINFERNAL, Element hero.pngVALIANT, Element world.pngWORLD, and Element none.pngALL-ROUND. Damage multipliers of these energies are listed in the table below:

>>2630 Nope. As far as I know, all Units have an element and you can't change it. A character can have a different element in one of their variants, such as Shino (infernal) whose valentine variant is All, but you can't change the unit's element (using Shino again, you can't change his valentine variant from All element).

The protagonist, meanwhile, is always All-element. On both the 3* and 4*.

One question, can I change an element on a specific unit?

For example, my main character's element is water and I want to change it to fire... Can I do that?
