How to Awaken Your Characters

Get Duplicates of Your Character

To awaken your witches, you'll need to get duplicates of them. The first way to do this is to pull their copies from MementoMori's many Gacha banners, such as the Prayer of the Cursed, Prayer of the Fleeting, and eventually the Invocation of Chance.

If you're awakening a witch with an Azure/Amber/Emerald/Crimson soul, you'll only need 8 copies at minimum to get her to LR rarity. This is because you can use lower base rarity witches of the same soul type to awaken her at certain stages. But if you're awakening a witch with a Radiance or Chaos soul, then you'll need to get 14 duplicates since there are no lower-rarity Radiance and Chaos witches available.

Be Careful of Who You Awaken

Not only do the gacha banners give you the chance of getting the witch you want, but you'll also get many witches of a lower rarity. These witches can be used to awaken your base SR witches at different points of the awakening process (SSR, UR, and UR+). This is why we don't recommend awakening your witches automatically using the 'Awaken All' button, especially R-rarity witches, since you can still use them to awaken your base SR witches instead.

Should We Use the Awaken All Feature?

Prioritize Awakening SR Characters You Can Buy With Space-Time Coins

Duplicates of several powerful witches such as Cordie, Merlyn, and Amleth can be bought from the Shop with Space-Time Coins, which are gained from clearing the Cave of Space-Time. Doing this will shorten the time it takes to awaken them to LR rarity and beyond considerably. As long as you consistently clear the Cave of Space-Time, you should be able to buy a duplicate once a month or even less.

Additional Awakening Features

Awaken Unlock for R Characters

Awaken Unlock offers exciting new possibilities for your favorite R characters. Awaken them, unlock new Arcana, and boost the rest of your characters with new stat buffs.

As of this writing, you can choose either of four characters to awaken past SSR+: Illya, Arianrhod, Zara, and Skuld. To maintain game balance, you can only Awaken Unlock one R character per month. This feature is only available to players who have reached Party Level 300.

Return Shards and Arcana

If a character meets certain conditions, you can convert that character into Witch's Shards to save on roster space. If your character's lowest base rarity is SR, you need to have a version of that same character with a rarity of LR+5 or higher. This will give you Witch's Shards of that character.

If the character's lowest base rarity is R, that character can be converted into Witch's shards depending on a specific order of priority:

1. The Character with the Highest Rarity
2. The Character with the Highest BP
3. The Character with the Highest Lv

This means if the witch you want to return is the R base rarity character with the highest level, you will need to return the R base rarity witches with the highest rarity and highest BP first.

If you return a character at R rarity, you will get Witch's Shards. If you return them after they have been awakened to SR rarity or higher, you will also get Witch's Letters in a number equivalent to the number of characters used to Awaken them.

Remember that to awaken a character with a base rarity of R to UR or higher, you will need to use the Awaken Unlock.

What is Awakening?

Awakening Raises Your Witch's Rarity, Max Level, and Base Stats

Awakening your character raises not only their rarity but also makes them stronger by raising their max level. For example, if you want your Amleth to have 1 turn of Invulnerability after receiving fatal damage, you'll need to get her to at least level 141 - which can only be unlocked once she's at SSR+ rarity.

Even if you try to get around this by putting your witches into Level Link, a higher rarity witch will still be stronger than a lower rarity one in terms of base stats. Having higher stats, especially ones like SPD, could very well decide whether or not you win a battle, especially in the Battle League.
