How Should I Spend My AP?

Whether you have an overabundance of AP or not enough at all, there's always that lingering question of how you should spend it. Should you use them on Fragment Quests? Story grind? Use them all on events? Read on to learn our recommendations on how you should be spending your AP.

Play Story Events

Event Story missions should take up ALL your AP whenever they're available. In these events, you could earn blueprints and pieces for the featured UR rarity welfare mobile suits and pilots, and even if the units aren't particularly good, you'll still want them since they'll later be available to grind for in Fragment Quests. The more fragments and pieces you earn, the less time you'll need to grind for them in Fragment Quests, and the sooner you start generating Rainbow Haro coins from any blueprints/fragments you get past Potential Lv. 5.

As we've said in a lot of our articles, Rainbow Haro coins are an extremely valuable and hard to accumulate resource that you'll need for Transcending units, and being able to steadily generate this sooner will be very beneficial for everybody, old and new players alike. If the welfare unit is good, then consider that a bonus. If it's not, still try to get as many copies anyway.

Grind Fragment Quests

As soon as you unlock Fragment Quests, you'll want most of your AP going to this game mode, except when there's an Event Story to grind for or if you absolutely need something that you can only get from different game modes. This is where you'll be getting your Rainbow Haro coins from, which you'll need to Transcend your units and unlock their hidden skills.

Ideally, you should be farming all the missions that reward you with UR rarity units since excess fragments of SR and R rarity units will reward you only with Gold and Silver Haro coins, which aren't nearly as valuable. You'll want to do each of them 3 times each mission to maximize your fragment and Rainbow Haro Coin generation.

As of writing, it takes more than 500 AP to do all the UR fragment missions once, and that number will only rise when more UR units are released on this game mode. You'll probably have to buy AP from both the Coin Shop and with a couple of hundred Diamonds to be able to do all of them 3 times. It will undoubtedly take ages before you start accumulating a good number on a daily basis, but it'll all pay off in the end since Transcendence is arguably the upgrade system that matters the most in this game.

Finish Story Missions

When you've already done your Fragment Quests and you somehow still have some AP left or it's already been replenished, look to spend them by progressing through the game's Story Mode. The goal here is to both accumulate upgrade materials and to earn Diamonds by fulfilling all of the conditions to get 3 stars.

Ideally, you'll want to get 3 stars each time to be able to make the most out of your AP, so when things get too hard and you can't 3 star your missions anymore, look to either upgrade your units or grind out one of the other story missions instead.

Participate in the Combat Power Augmentation Operations Event

When you need UR Custom Tickets, Unit Enhancement Pts., EXP materials, or Coins, grinding out the Combat Power Augmentation Operations (CPAO) event is one of the best ways to get them. While these cost a hefty 200 AP to play, it's very much worth its AP price since you'll get the exact materials you need while also getting a good boost to both your Player EXP and Unit EXP.

These quests are useful for both beginners and advanced players alike. Beginners can kill two birds with one stone by leveling their units, getting UR Custom Tickets or Unit Enhancement Pts., and being able to spend the ridiculous amounts of AP they're rewarded with for almost everything they do. Meanwhile, advanced players can get even bigger amounts of whatever it is they need.
