Support Units are characters that you can set in your Seer Profile, allowing other players to add them to their party during missions. The maximum number of characters you can set is three, and they can be changed based on your preferences.
Setting characters can be done in your Seer Profile, providing players with combat assistance in their missions. Here are the steps on how to set up Support Units:
| 1 | ![]() From the home screen, press the icon at the top left that displays your current Seer Level and in-game name. |
|---|---|
| 2 | ![]() Once there, check the right side of the screen and locate three empty spaces with plus icons. This is where you will assign your support units. |
| 3 | ![]() Tap the plus icon, select a character, and press "Change Character." This will assign the chosen character to a specific spot, making it available for other players to use. |
| 4 | ![]() Repeat Step 3 until you have three Supporting Members on your Seer Profile. |

You can also use Support Units for your missions, granting you access to high-level characters or those you do not yet own, which can assist you with your quests.

Set one Support Unit in your third-party member slot. Depending on their combat role, you can have them appear first in combat, tagged as First Strike, by tapping number 3 under the Launch
option on the right side of the screen.
| 1 | ![]() Select "Start Battle" from the home screen and choose between Main Story and Resources Missions. Keep in mind that Support Units cannot be used in certain story missions. |
|---|---|
| 2 | ![]() Once you have selected a mission, click "Proceed," and it will take you to the party loadout screen. Keep in mind that you can use Support Units in Main Story and Resources missions only. |
| 3 | ![]() Locate the "Support" icon at the top of the third-party member slot and press it. |
| 4 | ![]() This screen will display the Support Units available for the mission. Simply press a character's icon to automatically add them to your party. Keep in mind that you are limited to 10 supports from strangers, which refreshes daily. |

Support Units are extremely useful for tackling difficult quests. If you have a high-level character, setting them as a Support Unit on your Seer Profile allows other players to perform better in their missions by using a powerful character.
The same applies if you are struggling with a mission. If you have a friend or encounter a stranger with powerful Support Units, you can use one of them to even the odds against strong mobs and bosses. Plus, you can even use unobtained characters to test them in real missions.

Using Support Units allows you to acquire Mutual Aid Points. This is limited to 10 missions, with a maximum of 350 points to collect every day. Points earned from using a Support Unit from a stranger are only 50 while using one from a friend rewards 70.

Mutual Aid Points serve as currency for purchasing affection-raising items in the game's store. If you accumulate enough points, select Store from the home screen and locate Token Redemption. Then, choose Friendship Store to buy items using Mutual Aid Points.
These items are essential for increasing affection with a specific character, which can reward a Costume, Rune Shards, and Orelium, depending on the affection level.
