Making a pet stronger
Every way to make a pet stronger: training, skill books and slot keys, fusion, Stone Combination, Starforge and its transfer, and the Card Album.
A pet grows stronger on its own as it levels. Everything below adds to that. Start at the top: training and skill books cost little; fusion and Starforge are for the pets you mean to keep.
| What | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Training | Pet Information window | Spends training points on a stat. |
| Skill books | Your bag | Teaches the pet a new skill. |
| Fusion | Pet Dealer | Raises a pet's talent, using four other pets. |
| Stone Combination | Pet Dealer | Turns fusion stones into better ones. |
| Starforge | Pet Information window | Adds extra stat lines and Starmarks. |
| Card Album | Pet Dealer | Turns a pet into a card and trades card sets for rewards. |
Training
A pet earns training points as it levels. Spend them on the Training page of the Pet Information window to train a stat. Each step takes time, shown on the page, and can be finished at once with Gold or a Pet Training Card. Several pets can train at the same time. Reset returns every point for Gold, so you can train again another way.
Skill books
A pet uses its battle skills in turn, left to right, one per turn, then starts again from the first, skipping any it cannot use yet. Its skills sit on the pet's bar next to your hotbar: drag them to set the order.
- Use a pet skill book from your bag on an open Special Skill slot to teach it. The pet must have reached the book's level.
- Some slots are open when the soul orb is opened. A sealed slot may be opened with a Pet Skill Slot Key; the slot says how likely the key is to open it. Perfect talent opens the last two.
- Forgetting a skill is free and opens its slot for another book.
Every skill a book can teach is in Pet skills from the gacha.
Fusion
Talk to a Pet Merchant and open Fusion.
- Put the pet you want to improve on the Major Pet place.
- Put four different pets on the Minor Pet places. Add a fusion stone if you have one.
- The bench shows the success rate and the Gold. Press Fuse.
A success raises the Major Pet's talent, and its stats grow faster from then on. All four Minor Pets are used up, whether the fusion succeeds or fails. A Minor Pet's Starforge is lost with it; the bench warns you first.
Stone Combination
Also at the Pet Merchant. Four Genius Star fusion stones of one kind and a Gold fee make one Advanced stone of the same grade (plain, + or EX). The recipe shows its chance before you confirm. The stones and the Gold are spent even if it fails.
Starforge
Starforge is a page in the Pet Information window. Each Forge costs Gold and crafting materials, fills the Starforge bar and rolls a new set of stat lines beside the ones the pet has:
- Press Keep to keep your Current Stats, or Take new to replace them with the New Stats. The materials are spent either way.
- Now and then a roll carries a Starmark, a special line such as Comet or Polaris. The page counts down to a guaranteed one; Starmark List shows them all.
- A Starseal seals one line so the next Forge keeps it as it is.
- Starforge cannot go above the pet's own level: level the pet to go further.
The Starforge stays with the pet when it is traded or sold. To move it, a Pet Merchant's Starforge Transfer moves the whole Starforge to another pet of the same kind that has none, for Gold.
Card Album
At the Pet Merchant, Extract turns a pet into a card for good: the pet is gone and the card you get is a roll. Collect every card of a set the number of times the album asks, then Trade set for its reward.
Then: the Skyward Sanctum
Pets of Genius Star 2 and up can be kept in the Skyward Sanctum, where complete series give your character lasting bonuses.
