In-Depth Guide to RTPVP

By Asta

Pick Your Side

At the end of the day, investing in a singular organization can benefit you greatly as you don’t need to tear your focus on multiple organizations. and have fewer benefits overall Force talent is important to growth and can be earned through RTPVP exchange and the stronghold event. This is used for increasing your organization stats (HP, DEF, ATK), which can increase CP heavily once fully upgraded.

There are currently 4 organizations in which you can invest your FT into CCG, Ateniku, and Agoiri, and no organization; each has its own merits and benefits, which we are going to discuss. (I won’t be discussing No Org.)

CCG

The overall focus on CCG characters is synergy and working well together. CCG can be incredibly lethal once grown. The current recommended lineup for the CCG-focused team would be Ixa Arima, Lighting Arima, Juzo (or Uta), and Renji as backup. These characters have incredibly high synergy, such as Arima providing defense and AOE, while Lightning Arima boosts CCg basic stats by 15% as well as ignoring block, and once a character stacks thunder, it provides incredible DPS, while Juzo with a single attack can create a skill chain wiping out entire teams.

Agoriri

The overall focus on Agoriri is pure damage; who needs synergy when you can wipe everyone in one turn? The Agori tree has one of the highest damage outputs for a single organization within the game. The current recommended lineup for the agoiroi-focused team would be Ayato, Centipede Ken, Jason, Uta (or Tatara), and Renji as backup. The main golden character of this team is Ayato; Ayato provides, if not the best, one of the best AoE damage and more important things in PvP.

Denying Heals. Once invested in, he can wipe entire teams with only a few cards. While Centi Ken is a great option once Ayato dies, being the second highest single-target DPS option within the game, and with Jason’s abilities, allows for himself to be boosted up to 32% by being within his organization and his “oppressed, allowing increasing damage towards those who have this debuff, And lastly, with Tatara being another AoE unit, he is similar to Juzo in that his attacks increase in chances of crits as well as are buffed by being within his organization team.

Anteiku

The overall focus on anteiku is balance; anteiku contains the more diverse set of characters, providing high damage with synergy and buffs. The current receommdended line up(s): Owl, Awkaen Ken, Hinami, Ryoko (Or Ayato), and renji as backup once more, Within Anteiku, most characters buff each other within the same org. The owl within Anteiku buffs damage by 25% for 1 turn; additionally, buff it another 25% once under 40% HP. While the owl doesn’t do much DPS, he contains incredibly high HP and DEF and buffs all Anteiku allies 6% and reduces damage taken by 5% each turn. Can clear weakness and debuffs from himself as well as gaining an additional turn if placed twice.

Not only does Owl also upgrade his own cards; once you reach a single 3* card, he turns all his cards by 1, and he can do up to 500k in damage. Ken is the main DPS focus within the Anteiku team (unless you also have Ayato). Ken’s damage in single targets can stun targets with 2 cards. Ken also gains additional freezy from healing. While Hinami is countered by Ayato, her value is still not gone. Hinami, if she retains above 80% HP, increases her healing by 30% and damage by 20%, as well as is capable of removing weak values and debuffs and restoring 40% of lost HP when her turn starts. If Ayato is dead, Hinami can be the difference between a loss and a win.

Force Talent

Force Talent Force talent is most likely the difference, with not only defense, damage, and CP differences; once fully invested in, it can become a deadly weapon in RTPVP.

It’s recommended to focus on maxing out the middle row, which provides the majority of the raw stats and CP. Once you have fully brought the row, if you have any characters SSS, it’s key to unlock the character-specific talent, as characters that are SSS gain the most bonus percentage within the talent. Force talent focusing on a singular character stat boost is based upon the character’s star/grade level SSS being an 8% boost in damage and damage reduction, while only a 6* character is only boosted by 4%

If you cannot afford to or have already bought the character-specific talent for your specific organization, it’s recommended to focus on buying the top row in this order while it’s unlimited. The player’s choice is important to focus on defense first before prioritizing damage.

  • Blk Chance -> Crit Def -> Crit Resist -> Life Steal -> Regen Boost -> Pen Boost -> Crit Boost

Rc-Cells

RC cells are another important factor within PVP that can go in different directions depending on the player’s cell modification, quality, and star levels, while its entire RNG is based on what stats you will receive. It’s important to note not all players will have 100+ cells to invest in, but it’s HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to only modify and star up cells that are at LEAST 95+ in quality.

RC cells themselves, depending on quality and RNG, can provide benefits in small percentages depending on the quality of the cell listed below. Regardless of the cell category, it is random in percentage and which stat buff that will be given, but typically higher quality cells provide higher quality buffs.

  • Def, Crit Resist. Hp, Block Chance, Restoration Rate, Crit Dmg, Crit Def, Pen Rate, Atk, Lifesteal

Modified cells

Provide another buff within teams, allowing for additional benefits. The current buffs are listed below in numerical order to the maximum boost possible.

  • Skill Level up (Your Death will increase 1,2,all allies skill levels to 3.)
  • Restriction Ignoring (Ignore 40%,70% 100% and immune to weakness at Maxium equiped)
  • Basic Stat boost (After castihng 4 active skills, You gain 10%, basic staf boost for 1,2,3 turns)
  • ATK-Related Boost (Increaing ATK-Related stats by 3%,6%,9% for two turns.)
  • Resurrection (When above 25% Hp, Retain 1hp,10% hp ,30% hp)
  • Disruption (When battle starts, disrupt 1,2, enemies active skill for 1,2 turns.)
  • Buff Removal (Using an active skill removes 1,2, all buffs ( and stances at max) from 1 random enemy)

Cell Star(s)

Another buff from cells is cell stars, which provide additional benefits that are divided into 3 different categories listed below in numerical order from 1-5 stars.

  • Assault Cell Increase damage dealt by 6%,9%,11%,13%,15%.
  • Bulwark Cell Reduce damage taken by 6%,9%,11%,13%,15%.
  • Regen Cell Increases damage damage dealt and damage taken by 3%,7%,8%,10%.

Modified cells and Star(ed) can bring a big boon to you and your allies. While it is mostly up to RNG what you end up with, it’s highly encouraged to find a synergy between the modified cells with your characters. some examples being Ayato and 3, Restriction, which removes all damage restrictions and increases damage to enemies he’s weak to but also makes it so he is immune to being weak. While also, you could give Ayato 3 skill level-ups, which will give your entire card set 3* cards upon Ayato’s death as many people first target Ayato. It’s important to find what is BEST for you and your team to create synergy.

Potential, exclusive equipment, and ability spheres

Another factor of PvP and buff is potential, exclusive equipment, and ability spheres, which give additional benefits, which we will discuss, firstly being potential, activating skill effects, and boosting them. Additionally, they provide a 3×3 grid in which you can add ”potentials,” which are separated into green (HP), yellow (DEF), and red (ATK). These spheres are also further divided into levels 2-6, providing you different stat gains depending on the level.

It’s important to note here It’s highly recommended to have a singular potential color for each character, as having matching colors for the entire grid allows for a ”linkage effect” in which to boost the effects of the colors. the currently linkage effects shown below at full x8 linkage.

  • Green (HP) Increases max hp by 8% as battle starts.
  • Yellow (DEF) Reduces damage taken by 5%.
  • Red (ATK) increases damage by 5%.

Once again, it’s best to find what type of potential color you want and is best for your character.

Exclusive Equipment Exclusive equipment once again is another buff; it can be leveled to a maximum of 150, which provides a buff in ATK and HP. The amount varies depending on the level of the ability sphere and character. (I.e., Level 150 Awakened Ken SSR sphere provides 1662 ATK and 39952 HP.)

Ability Spheres Another factor of character is ability spheres, which can be earned through exclusive equipment draws using keys or auction house UR selection; it’s mostly RNG again… how you can earn it It’s just recommended when drawing for equipment to select in the “selection ability sphere” as it gains a 50% chance to earn once you obtain UR; additionally, it’s recommended to gain a UR sphere for each character in your PvP lineup.

Tips and tricks

The easiest way to max the level of exclusive equipment is to go to exclusive salvage and salvage unneeded equipment. Each piece of equipment grants a huge amount of ability sphere that can help you maximize the level of your equipment!

Another helpful tip to earn and level potential is the carnival event. The carnival event exchange allows you to purchase potentials through the shop and helps you also level them up. As well, you can buy them through a regular exchange, but it’s not really worth it.

Bonds and limit

Bonds and limits are another thing that can help boost your team. It’s just important to ALWAYS max the limit on your PvP character and to activate the unlimited bond for each character, as bond allows for 10% dmg increase and damage taken reduction. While the limit increases base rates which defer between characters.

Stars and SSSing

Stars play a key factor in the game, and it’s honestly not a question. Your PvP character should have at least 6* each, while some characters need a ”minimum” of stars. It’s highly encouraged to have all your characters at least 6* to be at your peak in RTPVP.

Another question some people may ask is, do i need to SSS a character? In the end depends on you, while this guide itself, if you are able to afford and to get an SSS, you should as do you get the maximum boost for your character within force talent. but it is not entirely needed.

Conclusion

At the end of the day this guide is ment to help you not only look to what can better help you team and help you decided how to thrive within pvp, its also important to know at the end of the day its your choice who you want to pick and who you think you want to play and not let others opinions sway who not to get and get, its your entertainment and fun and each character has its pros and cons!
