Microtransactions

Type	Notes
Currency	Diamonts are a real money purchase but can be earned as in-game rewards over time. Diamonts can be used to purchase supplies, cosmetics and unlock characters, which are frequently added into the game at regular intervals. Bundle Coins are a real money purchase and can't be earned in-game, can be used to purchase items that require real money or bundles that have lower cost than paying with Diamonts.
Free-to-grind	Diamonts can be earned through most missions, events, and daily activities(such as Q-Singularis/Dirac), allowing the player to gather enough to pull and unlock new characters(or get items to rank them up) through loot boxes, level up the Battle Pass, Stamina to play for longer or spend in event-limited items to progress.
Loot box	Diamonts can be spent on Invocation zone which are loot boxes that may drop Epic items, and guarantees a Epic quality characters or items every 10 pulls.
