Characters are primarily obtained by wishing on gacha banners, or as a reward from completing certain events. Here are all the ways you can obtain characters:
Characters are used for combat and exploration in the overworld, domains, quests, and events. Players can directly control their units to defeat enemies with battle-related skills, or solve puzzles with travelling-related perks!
A player outside of co-op can normally have a maximum of four characters in a party. However, you can only use one character at a time.
