Team Levels Explained

Get and Upgrade Characters

Gwynn Gacha Banner
If you want to get new characters to use, you will need to pull on one of the game's gacha banners. As of now, there is no other confirmed way to get characters outside of the free Kabr and Ikora, so if you want to get someone new to play with, you'll need to test your luck and pull on gacha banners.

All Current and Upcoming Banners

Do Dailies and Spend Your Energy

You can accept Daily Commissions from Mu Ying in Jiangshi Metro once the World Map is unlocked.

Bounties are a daily activity that requires you to complete a certain challenge in-game, such as defeating a certain amount of enemies with a certain damage type such as Scorch or Precision Damage.

Activities that Require Pinnacle Energy

Activity Reward Cost
Strike 20 Pinnacle Energy
Singularity: Chaos (Realm of IX) 10 Pinnacle Energy
Shifting Gates 20 Pinnacle Energy

You can participate in these activities daily but they require Pinnacle Energy to get the best rewards. You can still participate in these activities, but the rewards you'll get are basic compared to the rewards pool you'll get from spending Pinnacle Energy.

All Daily Activities Guide

Claim Battle Pass Rewards

Battle Pass Quests
Players can level up their Battle Pass by doing Weekly and Act quests.with a Weekly XP Cap of 1200 XP.

Weekly Quests are small goals completable by playing the game everyday. These can range from using different types of characters on adventures, completing commissions or completing Shifting Gate levels.

Battle Pass End Dates and Rewards

Use Your Free Pulls Wisely

Bon Voyage Gems Event

You can get free Bon Voyage Charms and Lumia Leaves by participating in various events and exploration rewards, and completing the main story.

Make sure to spend your Lumia Leaves on the Limited Banner since it is easy to get a ton of Standard Bon Voyage Charms just by playing.
