Summon

Summoning is an integral part of the game, where characters are summoned from the general character pool and are added to the player character pool. To see the full list of available characters, see Kiraras. There are two types of summoning:
 * 1) Single Summon - summons a single character from the character pool.
 * 2) Group Summon - summons ten characters in a row from the character pool. A group summon guarantees a 4-Star Character in one of the summons.

On the left portion of the panel is the selection of currently available banners. The maximum number of displayable banners is five (5). All banners that are active but are not displayed can be found on the bottom of the list. The active banner can be seen with a yellow rectangular outline with two triangles pointing inward from left and right sides. Tapping on the banner switches the active banner to the tapped one.

After pressing any of the summon buttons,a warning message pop-up appears, asking for the confirmation of the summon. Tapping the button on the left cancels the summon, while tapping the button on the right confirms the summon.

During Summoning
After a loading screen, you will be greeted by Clea jumping every two seconds, while a "Tap to Next" message is slowly flashing on the screen.



After tapping on the screen, the game show's Clea's Key as a 3D Model coming in from the left and opening a portal to the Kiraras' World. This is accompanied with flowers and other sparkling effects. The picked character's role can be found in the middle.



Depending on the rarity of the currently summoned character's rarity the spinning animation of the portal can vary.
 * A Summoned 3-Star Character spins only in white color before revealing the character.
 * A Summoned 4-Star Character spins in white, then rapidly spins and pulsates in a deep blue version of the portal while zooming before revealing the character.
 * A Summoned 5-Star Character spins in white, then rapidly spins and pulsates in a deep blue version of the portal, which then throbs into a gold version of the portal. Before the reveal, Clea would come in from the left, and would mention a one-liner, usually related to the series of the summoned 5-star character. Portions of the 5-star character's art is revealed twice in a row with transition effects before revealing the character.

The entire animation can be skipped by pressing the Skip button found on the upper right of the screen.



After revealing the character, tapping on the screen would determine if the summoned character is a duplicate. Duplicate means the character already exists on the player's character pool. Characters do not have the ability to exist as the same card more than once in the player character pool. A Limit Break Item according to the summoned character's rarity and role is obtained instead.



This Summoning process repeats from the opening portal if the summon done is a group summon.

After Summoning
For any new 4-star or 5-star characters, the character will introduce herself with an opening spiel, usually related to its role. This is repeated until all new characters introduce themselves. After finishing all summon animations, whether single or group, the game proceeds to the Results Screen.



The Results screen displays the overall summary of the summoning process. Any new character is displayed in full colour, while any duplicate character is greyed out in the screen, and is displayed with the appropriate limit break item. Stardust is rewarded for each summon done, meaning one (1) stardust for a single summon, and ten (10) for any group summon. Stardust can be exchanged for welfare characters or Limit break Items in one of the Shops. Along with awarded stardust are other rewarded Items for doing the summon. For paid summons, this can be the Paid Ticket. For permanent banners, this can be Strengthening Items, or a Random Call Ticket, depending on the progress. Tapping anywhere would proceed to the next screen.



This screen contains the awakening progress for each duplicate character obtained in the summon. Each character's awakening progress bar would be filled with the correct amount, depending on how many duplicates were obtained with the character for that summon. A character with maximum awakening that obtained another duplicate would not appear again in the awakening progress. For every character whose awakening progress bar is filled, an upgrade is done, and the bar resets if the character has not reached maximum awakening. If the character reaches maximum awakening, the bar is filled, and a shimmering animation can be seen on the portrait, every three seconds.



For each character that successfully increases in awakening, an animation is played on the character card, and a display of the awakening progress is displayed, along with the appropriate stat increase. The awakening animation can be skipped by pressing the skip button located on the upper right portion of the screen.

The game then returns to the Summon Screen.
