Monetization
Type | Notes |
---|---|
Free-to-play | Game is free-to-play with microtransactions in the form of currency purchases.[2] |
Subscription | Players can purchase a subscription called the Blessing of the Welkin Moon, which grants 300 Genesis Crystals upon purchase, and also gives 90 Primogems every day the player logs in. The Blessing can be purchased multiple times, each time granting 300 Primogems and extending the duration of the subscription by 30 days up to 180 days. |
Microtransactions
Type | Notes |
---|---|
Currency | Real money is used to purchase Genesis Crystals, which can be converted to Primogems at a 1-to-1 rate or used to purchase item bundles in the in-game shop. Primogems are used to purchase Fates, which are then used to purchase gacha rolls, which is the only way to obtain the vast majority of characters in the game. [2] |
Free-to-grind | Players can earn Primogems through completing daily quests, obtaining achievements, and opening chests found throughout the world, among other methods. Players also directly earn Fates through ascending characters and grinding the free battle pass. |
Loot box | New characters and weapons can be obtained through a gacha system using Fates to purchase rolls.[2] |
Time-limited | There is one limited-time gacha "banner" (referring to the promotional image used for the gacha) in the game, offering a 5-star character only available in that banner along with several non-limited 4-star characters which have their drop rate increased. The banners currently cycle twice every month. |

Input
Keyboard and mouse | State | Notes |
---|---|---|
Remapping | Fixed as of Version 1.1.[7] | |
Mouse acceleration | Mouse smoothing is force enabled, alongside the vertical and horizontal mouse sensitivity being different. | |
Mouse sensitivity | Separate sliders for "Camera Sensitivity" and "Camera Sensitivity (Aimed Shot Mode)" are available. Vertical Sensitivity is 50% lower than Horizontal, with no option to change. | |
Mouse input in menus | ||
Mouse Y-axis inversion | ||
Touchscreen optimised | Buttons can be tapped but no left stick for movement. Not working in "Console mode". |
|
Controller | ||
Controller support | Switching to "Controller" will change the game to "Console mode" with UI optimized for console. | |
Full controller support | The title screen only supports keyboard input, and a keyboard is required to input main character's name. | |
Controller remapping | Added in Version 1.1 update. Only the face buttons and the rightmost shoulder buttons can be remapped. Japanese-style layout is used for "Confirm" and "Cancel" buttons by default (O/B to select and X/A to cancel), but can be changed as of Version 1.1.[7] Using Aimed Shot requires the usage of either the Elemental Skill or Normal Attack Button, which makes manual aiming awkward when mapping those actions to the Face Buttons. | |
Controller sensitivity | Separate sliders for "Camera Sensitivity" and "Camera Sensitivity (Aimed Shot Mode)" are available. Vertical Sensitivity is 50% lower than Horizontal, with no option to change. | |
