Fantasica

Downloading the Game

The game can be downloaded for free on the App Store or Google Play.

Be forewarned, the game is huge (~6 GB) and cannot be moved to an SD card!

Once the game has been installed, you will be asked to create an account. You do not have to link your account to Facebook in order to play the game.

After creating your account, the long downloading process will begin.

In terms of very basic gameplay (Quests, Training, etc), I think the game does a decent job at explaining that so it will not be covered.

Just in case, you can always view the Help page which can also be accessed in the game Menu on the second page.

The rest of this guide will focus on how to catch up to everyone else in the game.

Getting Stronger Units

The quickest way to get a high rarity unit in any gacha game will be to spend real money on packs. If that is not a viable option for you, there is another way.

Obtaining Higher Rarity Cards

Currently, it is possible to get up to 10* units from Standard Card Packs (Brave Packs, Premium Ticket Packs).

Brave Points (BP) can be obtained by sending and receiving Brave with strangers and allies. Both BP and Premium Tickets can be obtained from Leana's Exchange Shop.

Leana Points (LP) can be obtained by exchanging cards or items in the shop.

It is also possible to get 7-11* units from Epic Ticket Packs. Epic Tickets can be obtained via login rewards or events. More details about Card Packs can be found in the Card Pack page. (This is the best option, at least consider pulling a single pack. You can get a decent unit for as little as 10 mobacoin.)

Enhancing Units

Enhancing lower rarity units into a higher rarity unit will increase the unit's Attack and HP. Brave Packs can help generate units to feed into your stronger ones.

It is recommended to exchange 5-6* units into LP to generate more BP to get more cards from Brave Packs.

1-3* cards can be either used for enhancing or sold for Luna, depending on what you need more.

If you do not need certain 7*s and above, it is better to exchange them into Orb Points (OP) in the OP Exchange so you can further increase the strength of your higher rarity units.

Increasing A Unit's Level Cap/Power

It is possible to use items like Ambrosia, Soma, Ichor, Aurora Essences, Prismatic Orbs, Celestial Orbs, and Empyreal Orbs to increase a unit's maximum level, depending on its rarity. More details can be found in each item's wiki page.

If you have multiple copies of the same unit, you can use the other copies to Ascend your unit to make it stronger. You can also recieve Ascension goddesses from Events and Login Rewards. Keep in mind that the unit will become untradeable once it's 4th Ascended. More details about ascension can be found in the Ascension page.

Obtaining Rank Reward Units

Once you have a decent team of 10*s, you can effectively try ranking in Events for 11★ and 12★ units. Some events are easier to rank in without spending than others. More details about possible strategies for each event can be found in each event type's page.

Increasing Player Level

Currently, the Player Level cap was increased from its previous cap of 100. As of now, it is unclear what the new maximum level is.

Player level impacts when you're able to level up certain Skills that will give you bonuses to Attack, HP, Leader Speed, etc.

The player level can be increased via Training and by attacking other players in Battles. In Battles, the amount of experience gained is directly proportional to the rarity of monsters a player possesses in their inventory.

It may seem daunting to try to catch up in player level, but there are some players who are willing to tarnish their battle record for the greater good. Ask a high level player to temp ally 91225309 (type this into the trade id box to find the player) is usually willing to do so for a few hours any way. With Armygirl's or anyone else that has an SS magic as a leader (ask them to lead an SS (they'll understand)) help, you can defeat most players and earn enough points to make it to level 31 in about 6 battles. You are awarded points even if you lose.

More details about skills, player level, and IDs of players who have a large amount of exp can be found in the Skills page.

Once you have reached Player Level 31 you will be permitted to trade.

Terminology/Abbreviations

Like many other games, this game has certain abbreviations and terminology that are unique to it. Note that the "currency" in this game is Pure ( Potions or Time Elixirs). Below is a list of some of Fantasica's terminology:
(List inspired by User:Xlivia)

Term	Meaning

Standard Cards	Cards that can be obtained from Brave and Ticket packs (see Card Packs)

U	The unit version of a card, e.g. Amor U. If a card does not have a monster variant, this term is not needed
LE	LE = Limited Edition. Usually refers to event cards and other cards from special packs that will never be reprinted
EU	EU = Event Unit. Cards that are pulled from the most recent pack that provide bonuses in the current event (i.e. bonus unit)
Asc	Shorthand for Ascension, e.g. Asc3 = Unit was ascended 3 times

WOF	WOF = Wheel of Fortune. A player-made event that works similar to Dream Packs where you pay pure for a "spin" with certain cards as the grand prize

Wiki

Creating a User Page

First, create an account, by clicking on the top-right part of the screen where it says "Create account". After that, fill out the form that appears with your new username and password.

Once your account is created, the text in the top-right will be replaced with your username. Clicking on it will bring you to your user page.

Since the account is new, it's likely the page doesn't exist yet. You can create a page by clicking the "Create" button on the new page.

Once you click "Create", all you have to do is type in the text box that appears! This website uses a form of HTML called MediaWiki. Some useful links on MediaWiki basics can be found below:

Using Your Page for Trading

Since Fantaistrade is no longer running, it has been a common occurrence to turn a user page into a Sales Page, where one can use the wiki's resources to list the units they have available for sale or trade.

It can also be used for things like Collection, Album, Current Team, etc. (basically anything utilizing the files on the wiki)

Some things you'll want to include in your sales page are:

1. A way to contact you (KIK, Line, In-game ID, Discord, etc.)
2. The text [[Category:Sales]] anywhere on your page to make sure you appear in the Category:Sales list
3. Some sort of easy-to-read sales format (some examples can be found in the Category:Data Templates page)

Contributing to the Wiki

If you've stumbled around the wiki, you will know there are quite a few pages that are outdated or incorrect in some way.

If you're interested in updating the wiki, please refer to the Editing Tips page for more details!

You can also check out Missing Stats to see what cards need their stats updated and Editing Ascension Stats for help with updating a card's ascension stats.

Note: Even if you don't know the exact value for the ascension stats, just putting a "1" where the value should go will be extremely helpful for those who are wondering if they should invest in a unit!

Last but not least, you can visit the Wiki Editor Contact Board to see who you can contact about questions or comments regarding the wiki.
