Leveling

This is where you go if you wish to level up your Units. Levels will grant your Unit extra HP and ATK points. To level up your unit, you will be "sacrificing" other units so that the base Unit (the one you wish to level) gains exp. Be aware that when you sacrifice another Unit, you will lose that Unit from your Inventory forever, or at least until you capture another.

Leveling Interface
So here you finally get to level up your Units. To do this, first you will have to select a Base Unit. This is the Unit that you want to recieve the experience.

After selecting your Base Unit, you will need to select "Materials". The materials are other Units, any that you will find across quests, that will be sacrificed in order to gain exp. Once you have chosen your Material, you will see multiple things come out.

The Green boxed area in the picture, is the experience earned from that 1 Material Unit placed. You can see that If I chose to continue, I would earn 150 Experience.

The Red boxed area is the experience needed to level up. As stated previously, when you level up, you gain a certain amount of HP and ATK points.

The Yellow boxed area are the coins needed to proceed with the Leveling. So in that scenario, you would need 2100 Coins to proceed in leveling. As you add on more units, the price increases, and if you do not have the amount of coins, you cannot level your Units. The amount of coins needed is based on the current Level or your Base unit, the Evolution form, and the amount of Materials being used.

After you are done choosing your materials and Base Unit, it is now time to go to the next step, which is choosing a Friend Unit. Press the Yellow button to proceed.

Friend Units, Exp Multipliers, and Getting The Most Out Of Your Units.


Here, you can choose friends (or strangers) in addition to your Material Units. When choosing a Friend Unit, there are some things you want to take notice of. The Element, Unit Type, and the Unit Itself. To start with, choosing units you have befriended, allows you to gain

+10 Friend Points (+5 for others that you haven't added), which can be used for getting Normal to Semi-Rare moneters from Friend Scratch. Not entirely a big deal, but every little bit helps, right?

Next would be the most important part, the Exp Multipliers. When you choose a Friend Unit, depending on the Element, Unit Type, and the Unit Itself, you will get additional exp (x1.25 / x1.50). From what we've learned and seen, it goes something like this. Just using wind as an example.

WindBase + WindFriend = x1.25 / 1.00 / 1.25 exp

WindBase + Friend(anyother) = x1.00 / x1.00 / x1.00 exp.

WindUnitBase + WindUnitFriend = x1.25 / x1.50 / x1.25 exp.

In the first formula, the base unit and the friend unit were the same element, so you got a boost of x1.25. In the second, the base and the friend were different, so no boosts were given.

In the last, which is what you want to be trying to get the most, is when the Base Unit and the Friend Unit are exactly the same Unit. Meaning if I use, say, MonsterA as a base, then use someone elses MonsterA, the x1.50 boost will be given. Level difference doesn't effect the multipliers, but higher leveled friend units will also give you more exp.

When you are done with that, tap the yellow button below [Level Up] to proceed to gain the experience. Then, a short cutscene will commence, usually with silly quotes saying "Until Next Time!" (friend) and "God Bless You!" (material).

Best Sources Of Exp
While going through quests, you may or may not notice some Egg looking monsters. Well, when you fight them, always gotta hope you get them as a drop, because just one of these guys give a whopping 2000 exp each. The picture showing the egg are just the lowest form of these. There are [most likely] higher forms of these that you can get in later dungeons that give even more exp.

You can start farming these right from the beginning of the game (after the tutorial of course). To find them, you have to go into a quest, and look for a ! pad. There are usually 1 every run, if not, unlucky. When you land on the ! pad, it will either be Coins, a Blank Spot (unlikely), or mobs. The majority of the time (roughly 90%) of the time they will have an Egg in it. Fight the egg and whatever other monster is in there, and it is yours. The drop rate isn't 100%. It's quite honestly low, but they are easily the highest forms of exp you can get. You can also get them from Friend Point and Cash Coin (Rare) Scratch Cards. You can check out which dungeon drops them by looking at the Pick Up Enemies in the Pre-Quest lobby.
