The next request comes from a member of the Lords Council -Archbishop Joshua of the GranvellChurch, the widely accepted faith in the Kingdom of Alletain.
The mission is to escort him to the destination of his pilgrimage. Andrias questioned why the GranvellChurch sent such a request to the mercenary unit despite having their own military arm “Templar Knights,” but undertook the mission nonetheless.

Upgrading” Makes Your Own Strategy a Reality (1/2)
The five upgrading methods are “Unit Rank,” Abilities,” Skill Tree,” MagilumicOrb Research” and “Weapon Development,” each of which upgrades a different element. Understand the five upgrading methods to form a strategy that is uniquely yours.
Unit Rank
Unit Rank increases through completing quests. Increasing the rank grants various benefits such as unlocking features. Furthermore, the five “Blue Fox Badges” include those that add new items to the shop and strengthen the whole unit when the rank increases.
Unit Rank increases through completing quests
Blue Fox Badge ranks can be increased by completing Sub-Quests etc. Place the cursor on a badge to see what is upgraded when the rank is increased.
Abilities
Abilities strengthen characters. Use AP (Ability Points), acquired when a character’s level increases, to strengthen attributes, increase attack speed, etc. You can also spend money to reset all abilities and redistribute AP.
Characters can be strengthened individually.Some are related to their personalities and talents
They can be reset for each character, so strengthen various skills and try them out during missions.
Upgrading” Makes Your Own Strategy a Reality (2/2)
The skill tree strengthens each unit type’s unique skills and all skills attached to weapons. By spending SP (Skill Points), acquired as mission completion rewards, etc., skill upgrades such as cooldown time reduction after using skills can be made. You can also spend money to reset all upgrades and redistribute SP.
Blue Fox Badge rank needs to be increased to use higher-class skill upgrades.
Select Reset Sp to reset the whole skill tree
MagilumicOrb Research
MagilumicOrb Research strengthens the powerful items “MagilumicOrbs,” using materials and money to increase attack power, expand target area, etc. Upgradable elements differ depending on the MagilumicOrb, so make upgrades to suit your strategy.
Weapon Development
Weapon Development in the base research facility allows you to develop new weapons using materials acquired as special rewards during missions. Once a weapon has been developed, it will appear in the shop line-up. Acquire weapons that you like to develop further.
In “Weapon Development,” the preceding weapon needs to be developed. Increase the rank of the required Blue Fox Badge to develop powerful weapons.
