Ability Trees

The Ability Tree system is a feature that was implemented into Kirara Fantasia on 24 June 2021 when the game was updated to Version 3.2.0. By using this system, you can upgrade your characters in any specific direction you want. For example, you can strengthen the DEF status of a character.

The system basically consists of 4 steps:
 * you unlock the Ability Tree for a character of your choice by using Scrolls;
 * you gather (regular) Principle Fruits to set onto the Tree, which strengthen a status of that character;
 * you unlock locked Slots of the Ability Tree by using Star Grains;
 * you set a Special Principle Fruit onto the last Slot of the Ability Tree, which gives the character a passive skill.

Step 2 and Step 3 don't have a specific order. These 4 steps will be explained now in detail one after another.

Step 1: Unlocking an Ability Tree with Scrolls
To get started with an Ability Tree, the very first thing you need to do is to get a Scroll, that is an item needed to unlock a character's Ability Tree. There is basically only one means to get Scrolls: You get one Scroll upon the first clear of a Trial Quest. Such a Trial Quest can be found at the end of any chapter of Arc 2 of the Main Story. Paying users have another way to get Scrolls: They can buy additional ones from the Item Shop for real money.

If you got a Scroll, you then tap on "Upgrade" button in the Main Menu, go to "Ability Tree" and choose a 4* or 5* character from the character pool. Now you need to choose a Scroll (see Note 2 below for details on the different types of Scrolls) and confirm your choice. Finally, the selected character gets their Ability Tree unlocked. You automatically move to the Ability Tree Screen. Here you can get start proceed with both Step 2 or Step 3.

(Insert Screenshot here of selecting a Scroll.)

Note 1: Please note that once unlocked, an Ability Tree cannot be reverted back to a Scroll. As Scrolls are highly limited items, you should choose very wisely whose Ability Tree you want to unlock.

Note 2: There are different types for Scrolls. Rather, every type is unique as of now (June 2021). But they basically are the exact same. The only difference occurs during Step 3, as the Star Grains have types as well and need to match the type of the Scroll. There is no difference in functions, or in rarity whatsoever, you just need to pay attention what Star Grains you need to gather for the specific char you want to proceed Step 3 on.

General Information about Principle Fruits
Once unlocked, you can start setting (regular) Principle Fruits onto your Ability Tree. These Principle Fruits can be obtained from drops on story quests or Trial Quests of Arc 2 of the Main Story. Since there are 5 different types of (regular) Principle Fruits, you should check which Principle Fruit drops on which Quest (to do so, you need to tap on the treasure box symbol of a Quest button). Here is a list of all 5 (regular) Principle Fruits:

As you can see, each Principle Fruit increases one status. There is no Principle Fruit that increases SPD.

To set a Principle Fruit, you need to return to the Ability Tree Screen. There, you tap on any of the + marks and select the Principle Fruit you want to set. (2 Screenshots need to be added: One for the Ability Tree Screen and one for the list of Principle Fruits.) Unlike Scrolls which can't be undone once they were used, Principle Fruits can be removed from an Ability Tree as many times as you want. So there is no need to hesitate about setting Principle Fruits onto an Ability Tree. To remove a fruit, tap on a set fruit, then on the right button to "Edit" the fruit. Now, above the list of all Principle Fruits, there should be a button to remove the fruit completely. Tapping on this will remove the selected fruit. (Here, another two screenshots are needed: One for the tree with at least one fruit, and one to demonstrate show the list with the "Remove" button.)

But there is another option for Principle Fruits: You can upgrade them!

Upgrading Principle Fruits
By merging multiple copies of the same fruit, you can increase the Grade of that fruit. A higher Grade equals to a higher boost of the status.

For the 5 (regular) Principle Fruits, you need the following amount of fruits is needed for an upgrade:
 * 30 copies of a Grade1 fruit can be merged into a Grade2 fruit.
 * 15 copies of a Grade2 fruit can be merged into a Grade3 fruit, which is the highest possible Grade.

So you need 450 copies of Grade1 fruits to get 1 Grade3 fruit.

To upgrade a Principle Fruit, you go to the Ability Tree Screen and tap on a set fruit there. Now, you tap on the left button "Upgrade". (Here, a screen of the upgrading screen needs to be inserted.)
