Gather the Required Materials
You can rank up a character by gathering the required materials seen in the “Character” > “Potential” menu. These materials can be obtained from treasure chests and trash cans, so try to gather them as much as you can while exploring.
Each character requires different materials to rank up and some of them can only be obtained by progressing through the story or advancing to the next map.
Kill Bosses For Their Drops
Once you reach rank 2 or higher, you'll need items dropped by certain enemies and bosses.
These bosses are also part of Zero Sensei missions, so do your best to defeat them.
Get Boss Drops at the Antenna Shop “Parabola”
If you don't feel like farming the bosses for their drops, you can head over to any Antenna Shop “Parabola” stationed in each city to buy the boss drops instead in exchange for Neo Tokyo Wonders Stamp.
Once you have all the required materials, simply head on over to the “Character” > “Potential” menu again and click “Rank UP” to increase your character's rank.
