On the note of gameplay, the main game has players able to create teams of four heroes for the story or to go up against other players while also giving them a 8×6 grid map to summon monsters. Currency wise the game makes use of “orbs”, which players can use to acquire new heroes. When they head out for missions however, the cost is their stamina which luckily recovers at a rate of 1 point per 5 minutes.
Players can earn orbs by either completing in-game activities or with in-app purchases. Another se for orbs other than getting heroes is having the ability to use ’Light’s Blessing’, an ability which heals all of the player’s units, revives any of the player’s defeated units, makes all activation skills ready to activate and allows a player’s team to fight again. Then there is also another orb use which permanently increases experience gained or maximizes hero capacity, or to replenishes stamina.
