Leveling Up

Units/leaders, effects and facilities can be leveled up, increasing certain stats which vary depending on the source.

Leveling up requires a combination of G-tokens and Battle Pieces, the latter is specific to that unit and often acquired from expeditions. The cost to level up depends on the number of stars for that unit and the current level.

★ Battle Piece Leveling

One star units start off being very cheap to level up both for G-tokens and Battle Pieces. However, the G-token cost really starts to jump with further levels, although doesn't surpass the high costs that two star units have. In terms of stat growth with level ups, they vary based on the particular levels.

★★ Battle Piece Leveling

In terms of G-tokens, two star units are the most expensive to level up in the long run despite starting cheap. The units also used to require a lot of Battle Pieces, although version 2.2.0 brought their levels better in sync with one and three star units in terms of rarity.

★★★ Battle Piece Leveling

Three star units and leaders require much fewer battle pieces than the other two, and arguably tied with one star units as the easiest to level up. Their G-token costs are also a little less than the prior two unit types.

★★★★ Battle Piece Leveling

Four star units and leaders require the fewest amount of both G-tokens and Battle Pieces compared to others. However, due to the rarity of acquiring those pieces, they are generally the hardest to level up. Thankfully a G-material item was introduced to help make this process easier.

With version 1.4.8, the G-material item was released.

This rare material can be used to replace a missing battle piece for upgrading these ★★★★ units. That said, you must have the required battle pieces and upgrade materials to use them. For example, if your King Ghidorah 1991 is at level 15 it would require having 2 battle pieces already along with a 4★ Upgrade G-material in order to level him up. If you only had one battle piece you would be unable to use the upgrade material.

Also to note is that using the G-material item don't immediately count as acquiring a new battle piece for the sake of achievements. For example, if you had 21 battle pieces before upgrading using three G-material your achievement would still show as 21. For them to count you need to acquire a battle piece in another means, such as in an expedition map, at which point the game will re-tabulate and count prior uses of G-material as earning a piece.

With version 4.3.0, the G-material Lite item was released.

This functions similar to a regular G-material, where it replaces a missing battle piece for upgrading ★★★★ units. However, it differs as it can only be used to take a unit up to level 9. In addition, this item is limited in terms of what units it can be used on, often excluding the latest ones. Finally it also expires if not used, and will list the expiration date prior to acquiring it.

Due to the restriction of only being able to upgrade to level 9, G-material Lites have the unique ability to be used even when there are remaining battle pieces. As shown above, a level 1 Gyaos 1967 had three stored battle pieces. Normally, clicking the upgrade button would consume one of those before allowing the use of a regular G-material. However, with the G-material Lite, players are given the option to use it instead. This allows players to accumulate battle pieces, use the G-material Lite to reach level 9, and then begin using battle pieces to continue upgrading past that point.

Season Upgraded Battle Piece

Originally introduced in version 1.5.0, this feature temporarly upgrades certain battle pieces each season. At first, only one or two battle pieces were affected, each upgraded to a predetermined level. With the release of version 2.6.0, the system was revised to scale these upgrades based on the current level of each unit. Later updates further expanded the system, with version 3.3.0 increasing the number of upgraded battle pieces to four per season and version 4.0.0 increasing it further to eight per season.

There are two types of seasonal upgrades: major boosts and minor boosts. These are indicated by arrow icons next to the upgraded units during the season.

The extent of each upgrade depends on the player's season arena rank, which determines how significant the level increases are. The rank brackets are outlined as follows:

Player Rank

There are several different progress areas in the game for the player, including arena rank, studio rank, season grade and player rank.

For the player's rank, this boosts the stats of the leader. That boost is seen in blue text next to HP and attack or attack range for the leader. For example, for Godzilla at player rank level 1 is shown as "HP 800 + 90". Oddly, the boost varies from leader to leader. For example, at player level 1 Godzilla 1989 gets +90 HP and +3 attack range while Mechagodzilla 1993 gets +100 HP and +5 attack. The boost for each subsequent level looks from an early observation to be an additional 10% on the HP boost and either no boost or another +1 to attack range or attack. For example, at rank two Godzilla gets +99 HP while Mechagodzilla gets +110 HP and Mothra gets +121 HP from +110 HP the previous rank.

Leveling up is done by acquiring rank points. Rank points are earned in three ways:

• leveling up a unit, worth 1 rank point
• raising a unit's star rank, work 1 rank point
• maxing a unit, worth 5 rank points
• acquiring a new unit, worth 10 rank points

Below are the player rank requirements.

Battle Memory Leveling

For Battle Memories, their cost is tied to their base rarity. It doesn't matter how many stars or how they are evolved, the cost is always fixed based on what kind of memory it was initially.
