Choosing a Leader in Tutorial Scratch

During the tutorial, you will be allowed to use the Rare Scratch for free (Only  Fire ,  Water , and  Wind  units will be available in this one). To get a good start in Divine Gate, it is recommended to reset your data in the beginning (by either un-installing the application, or using the reset option in the Others menu) until you get a good starting unit from this scratch.

The strongest units in RS are ★5 (or ★★★★★), and among them the best for beginners are units that possess a 2x HP/ATK Leader Skill. These units will take you far in the game until you find a better Leader. But other alternatives such as 2.5x HP or ATK Leaders can also be good starting units. To help you make a choice, this article will present them, and will show the Friend Leaders you can use with them (in addition to the Leaders described below themselves).

Note: Some races and attributes have a 2.5x HP/ATK (or more) Leader available either in Limited Offer Rare Scratch, Limited Scratch from Collaboration Events, or Descends. These Leaders give a much better bonus to your team than 2x HP/ATK Leaders, and they can be used as Friend Leaders even if you don't have them. You should keep this in mind when you choose your starting unit. (For these units, the increase they give will be indicated next to their names)

Last Updated the 12/02/2014 ( Last Unit Added: N°969, )

Fire Leaders
Ifrit, the Queen of Fire Fairies ( Un-evolved form: Ifrit ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * One of the 6 Elemental Fairy Leaders, Ifrit is a good starting unit with a good amount of HP as well as a decent ATK. Has a rather limited but useful against average bosses offensive Active skill, and Normal skills of medium strength. Has the advantage of being a 1.5x HP/ATK Leader in her un-evolved form, which is already a good start. However, you will need a Fire Demon Friend Leader of Level 35 or more to evolve her, and there are only a few options for you in-game, like: 098-icon.pngtongue, 259-icon.pnge Red Riding Hood,627-icon.pngzuru,677-icon.pngth and their evolutions. Only the last one can be a common Leader, so evolving her might be a problem if you don't have a Friend with one of these and willing to use them as a Leader.

Fire Delight Dragon ( Un-evolved form: Delight ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)
 * Delight is a Dragon unit with less HP and slightly more ATK than Ifrit, a more powerful but somewhat dangerous offensive active skill,and a minimum of three Fire panels to attack (unlike Ifrit who only needs two). He also doesn't start as a HP/ATK Fire Leader directly, but as a 2xATK Fire Leader instead. However, both of his Normal skills are powerful,and his second NS is useful in a Fire Team as you can attack with Light Panels that would be useless to you otherwise. He's also a lot easier to evolve than Ifrit, he needs less exp (132934 instead of 883884) and only requires a Fire Friend above Level 35+, which are commonly found.

Macbeth, the Fire Theatrical Demon ( Un-evolved form: Macbeth ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * See Double Leaders

Flame Wave Machine, Triangle ( Un-evolved form: Triangle ) (2.5x HP/2x ATK Leader)
 * One of the first Life Shift units introduced in Rare Scratch, Triangle will give your fire team a lot more HP than the other Fire Leaders. It has a lot of HP and a great ATK, a very useful active skill that will give you more time to use or search for panels during a turn, and an excellent passive skill that will decrease all damage received by 10% at the cost of one Fire Panel in your hand. Its Normal Skill might be difficult to use at first (it uses three panels instead of two), but it's only a minor problem with all of Triangle's advantages.

Saint Knight Bedivere ( Un-evolved form: Bedivere ) (2.5x HP Leader)


 * Bedivere is a Human unit that has more HP than Delight and Ifrit, but slightly less attack than Delight, yet slightly higher than Ifrit's. Like her Wind counterpart 288-icon.png Saint Knight Kay, her Active Skill is type-situational, only attacking Wind enemies for a fixed amount of 35000 damage, so she can shine in Wind-only dungeons, effectively killing the easier Wind bosses outright while still dishing out a good chunk of damage to the stronger ones in later dungeons. Her Normal Skills compensate the inability to use her Active Skill outside those dungeons (one activating at 2 panels, the other at 3), giving her the ability to attack with both skills if you fill a square completely with Fire panels. She doesn't start with the 2.5x HP increase until she evolves (1.5x HP boost un-evolved) and she requires a steep EXP curve to evolve like Ifrit, but unlike Ifrit, you only need any Fire Friend Leader that's level 35+, much like Delight. Recommended to pair with the units above or similar leaders. 274-icon.png Saint Knight Tristan can also be included as a leader, but since there aren't that many Fire Human units early in the game to get the full effect of her Leader Skill (2x HP/ATK for Human units), it's not recommended.

-Friend Leaders available:  Akane Tsunemori: Paralyzer and her evolution  Akane Tsunemori: Eliminator,  Minerva, Kotori Itsuka and her evolution  Efreet: Kotori Itsuka,  Yashiro and his evolution  Shinto Priest Fox, Yashiro (2.5x),  Flame Gauntlet-Wielding Criminal, Akane (2.5xHP/2xATK), Makise Kurisu: Plain Clothes,  Houki and her evolution  Houki: Akatsubaki  (2.5xHP/2xATK)

Water Leaders
Undine, the Queen of Water Fairies ( Un-evolved form: Undine ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * One of the 6 Elemental Fairy Leaders, Undine is one of the few Healers in Rare Scratch, and an excellent one. With good HP and Atk,a very powerful healing active with a relatively short cooldown, and an equally powerful Healing skill as her second normal skill, she's extremely useful and will have a place even in Non-water/non-fairy teams thanks to her healing abilities. She also has the advantage of being a 1.5x HP/ATK Leader in her un-evolved form. But, like Ifrit, evolving her will be difficult, as you will need a Water Demon Friend Leader above Level 35. Out of the eight options you have, 100-icon.pngand,261-icon.png,346-icon.pngdinger,629-icon.pngame and their evolutions, the last two units are the easiest to find as Friend Leaders.

Breunor, the Saint Knight ( Un-evolved form: Breunor ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)
 * Breunor is a Human unit with less HP and ATK than Undine, an average offensive active skill, and he starts as a 2x HP Water Leader instead of 1.5x HP/ATK. But his Normal skills deal more damage than Undine's, and he's much easier to evolve as he only needs a Water Friend Leader above Level 35.

Othello, the Water Theatrical Machine ( Un-evolved form: Othello ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * See Double Leaders

Water Wave God, Surface ( Un-evolved form: Surface ) (2.5x HP/2x ATK Leader)
 * Surface is a Life Shift unit and one of the best Leaders in RS currently. His Leader skill will give your Water team a lot more HP than other 2x HP/ATK Leaders. He has a lot of HP and ATK, a Normal Skill that hits all enemies, and a passive skill that will make finding Water panels and building combos easier, by decreasing Fire and Void panels' appearance rate. But as a Leader Surface has a flaw: his active skill, which increases God units' attack, is not useful for a beginner, as Water gods are very rare, with the exception of a single unit from an event.

Ruri, the Imprisoned Water Beast ( Un-evolved form: Ruri ) (2.5x HP Leader)


 * Ruri is a Water Beast unit with great HP and moderate attack, with the latter complementing her Active Skill. Her only Normal Skill allows her to hit multiple targets, which doesn't help against single units, such as most boss/descend units, but can be done up to two times for each panel. Her Passive Skill, immunity to Back Attacks, can be a life-saver should you enter a battle with low health against a unit that strikes every turn. She evolves at Level 35 and her pre-evovled form has the same Leader Skill as her evolved form; she's also easy to evolve, as you only need a Water Friend Leader that's Level 35+. For a possible Tutorial Scratch unit, Ruri is a good unit to have. There are capable water units in the beginner dungeons, especially if you started with 100px-005-icon.png. Paired with another Ruri, you can create a "wall" team, with your team HP multiplied by 6.25. However, it is recommended to pair with an Aqua Rise: Shift Leader or Aqua Rise: Assault unit to enhance Ruri's Active Skill and the party's overall attack.

-Friend Leaders available:  Toto, and his evolution  Toto, the Clown Dog (2.5x ATK),  Water Katana-Wielding Criminal, Aoto (2.5xHP/2xATK), Mayushii Nyan Nyan

Wind Leaders
Sylph, the Queen of Wind Fairies ( Un-evolved form: Sylph ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * One of the 6 Elemental Fairy Leaders, Sylph is the weakest Elemental Fairy stat-wise, has a rather weak offensive active skill, and is quite difficult to evolve as she needs a Wind Dragon Friend Leader above Level 35, although evolving her will be easier than evolving Ifrit or Undine since there are several options such as 035-icon.pnglteinn,501-icon.pngs,586-icon.png,597-icon.pngen and their evolutions (with the last two being HP/ATK Leaders so easier to find as Friend Leader).Her main advantage is her powerful second Normal skill, and the addition of Critical Hits made it even better. Like the other Elemental Fairies her un-evolved form is a 1.5x HP/ATK Leader.

Saint Knight Kay ( Un-evolved form: Kay ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)
 * Kay is a Human unit with a lot more HP than Sylph and a better ATK. She only starts as a 2x HP Wind Leader though and her active skill deals 35000 on Water enemies only, unlike Sylph's who can hit any type of enemy. Despite not having a powerful Normal skill like Sylph she deals more damage by attacking twice with the same amount of panels thanks to her higher ATK, but only if the four panels aren't used together, as it would activate her second normal skill that hits every enemy instead of doing more damage (unless you get a critical hit). She's less troublesome to evolve, since she only needs a Wind Friend Leader above Level 35.

Wind Joy Dragon ( Un-evolved form: Joy ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)
 * Joy is a Dragon unit with less HP than Kay but more Atk. Joy has several advantages over the first two Wind Leaders: his active skill is a good enemy defense decrease, useful against bosses with high Def, he does more damage than Kay with the same amount of panels, and unlike her using four of them together won't activate a less powerful normal skill (better in case of BOOST panels), and his second normal skill uses Dark panels, great for dealing some extra damage to all enemies with panels that should have been useless for a Wind Team. He's also easier to evolve than Kay, he has the same Friend Leader requirements but he needs less exp (132934 instead of 883884).

Shakespeare, the Wind Dramatist ( Un-evolved form: Shakespeare ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * See Double Leaders

-Friend Leaders available:  Gryps and his evolved form,  Gryps, the Beast of Celestia (2.5x), Wind Staff-Wielding Criminal, Midori (2.5xHP/2xATK),  Amane Suzuha: Plain Clothes,  Shizuo Heiwajima and his evolved form,  Repo Man Shizuo Heiwajima (2.5x)

Human Leaders
Saint Knight Tristan ( Un-evolved form: Tristan ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Tristan is a Water Human unit who starts as a 2x HP Human Leader in her un-evolved form. With a high number of HP, a decent attack and a powerful Heal as her second Normal Skill, she's one of the best Human units you can get from Tutorial Scratch, her only disadvantage being her rather average offensive Active skill. Human Leaders are a great choice for a beginner if you are starting to play during a collaboration, because most units from these events are Humans. You will also be able to use your starting unit in the same team ( 001-icon.png,100px-005-icon.png or 60px-009-icon.pngi ), no matter which one you chose.

Shakespeare, the Wind Dramatist ( Un-evolved form: Shakespeare ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * See Double Leaders

World Councilor Lady  ( Un-evolved form: Lady ) (2x HP/3x ATK Leader)


 * Lady is pretty much a Fire, improved version of Tristan: same amount of health but a better attack stat, a more powerful attacking skill that can bypass enemies' defense, and a stronger first Normal Skill but a slightly weaker Heal (30% instead of Tristan's 35%). But her biggest advantage compared to her Water counterpart is her Leader Skill: the HP bonus is the same, but the ATK bonus is greater than what Tristan's Leader skill can give. So if you're looking for a Human Lead, she's a much better option than Tristan, and a stronger but less versatile Leader than Shakespeare.

-Friend Leaders available:  Erza: Divine Gate Armor,  Mavis,  Princess Punt and her evolution  Anne Punt Quettebuss,  Evil Arthur and his evolution  Evil Arthur, the Fallen King (2.5x),  Princess Punt: Alice Dress and her evolution  Princess Punt, the Blue Empress,  Touka Yatogami and her evolution  Princess: Touka Yatogami, Hatsune Miku and her evolution  Electronic Diva: Hatsune Miku (3xHP/2xATK), Kyōma Hōōin Clotho, Hashida Itaru: Swimwear (2.5xHP/1.5xATK), Izaya Orihara and his evolution  Informant Izaya Orihara (3xHP/2xATK),  The Headless Rider and her evolution  Celty Sturluson,  Houki and her evolution  Houki: Akatsubaki (2.5xHP/2xATK),  Crowley and her evolution  Founder Crowley (2.5xHP/ATK).

(Note: Despite raising Human units' stats, Touka,Miku and Celty aren't actually Human, so they won't get the Leader Skill bonus from a simple Humans' Stats Increase LS like Tristan's.)

Dragon Leaders
Water Anger Dragon ( Un-evolved form: Anger ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Anger is a Water Dragon unit with good HP and ATK, an useful Active skill that boosts all of your units' attack, and powerful Normal skills with the second NS using Void Panels for extra damage. He also starts as a 1.5x HP/ATK Dragon, and he's easier to evolve than most Leaders from Tutorial Scratch (his un-evolved form hits Level Max at Level 35 instead of 50). Unfortunately, all of his good points are lessened by the fact that Dragon units are hard to find. Your only options outside of a few events and Rare Scratch are the Resist Dragons, and not only are they difficult to level up and evolve (requiring another Dragon of the same element above Level 25+ as Friend Leader to get their final evolution), but they are ones of the rarest farmable units, with a drop rate often around 1% outside of the Amusement Park areas. It is possible to get some of them in Friend Scratch, but they are still uncommon. Anger is definitely not a good choice for beginners, unless you happen to get good Dragon units in another Scratch, or if you started to play during an event with Dragons.

-Friend Leaders available:  Noah and her evolution  Noah, the Dragon Queen (2.5x),  Juliet, the Light Theatrical Dragon,  Canaan and her evolution  Canaan, the Eternal Dragon (2.5x),  World Councilor Naga (2x HP/3x ATK)

Machine Leaders
Maikaze: Kagura ( Un-evolved form: Maikaze ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Maikaze is a Wind Machine unit who starts as a 1.5x HP/ATK Machine Leader before evolving. She has good HP and great ATK stats, an useful active for eggs or other enemies with high defense but low HP,and she can attack every enemy at once with both of her Normal Skills. She can evolve rather quickly at Level 35 (instead of 50 like most Leaders in Tutorial Scratch). She's not a bad choice for beginners, thanks to the Third Gen Machines being excellent sub-units with huge health for ★2 or ★3 units, a very useful damage reducing Active skill, and a low EXP curve which makes them really easy to evolve and level up. They are also extremely common as quest drops or in Friend Scratch.

Othello, the Water Theatrical Machine ( Un-evolved form: Othello ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * See Double Leaders

Wind Wave Machine, Trapezoid ( Un-evolved form: Trapezoid ) (2x HP/2.5x ATK Leader)


 * Trapezoid is an Assault Shift Leader, meaning her Leader skill will give your Machine team more ATK power than other 2xHP/ATK Machine Leaders in RS. Her active skill changes the first three panels from the left into Wind panels, and her passive skill will make it easier to find Wind panels, by decreasing Water and Dark panels' appearance rate. Her normal skill deals heavy damage on all enemies, and while it might use three panels instead of two like other units, with the two skills described above, triggering her attack won't be too difficult. Beware though that her passive skill can also be a problem in some cases, for example if you choose her as a Leader but happen to have mostly Water or Dark Machine sub-units.

Mediator Madanai ( Un-evolved form: Madanai ) (2x HP/3x ATK Leader)


 * See Double Leaders

-Friend Leaders available:  Raikou: Nayuta, Replica and her evolution  Replica: Burst (2.5x), Hatsune Miku and her evolution  Electronic Diva: Hatsune Miku (3xHP/2xATK), Miku Append and her evolution  Diva: Miku Append,  Origin and her evolution  Origin: Machina (2.5x),  Charlotte and her evolution  Charlotte: RRC II (3xHP/2xATK),  Laura and her evolution  Laura: SR (2.5x),  Silver Gospel.

Demon Leaders
Murasame, the Water Demon General ( Un-evolved form: Murasame ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Murasame is a Water Demon unit with great HP and ATK, though the latter will be useless to her because she doesn't have an offensive Normal Skill. Her only Normal skill is a Heal that uses two Water Panels, which can be summoned with her Active skill. Her passive still allows her to attack indirectly every time your enemy attacks, by hitting back with 50% of the damage taken, useful against hard-hitting enemies. Like most of the new Leaders in RS she can evolve at Level 35 with little effort, and her un-evolved form is a 1.5x HP/ATK Demon Leader. Beware though that good Demon sub-units aren't that easy to find compared to Human or Machine units, so starting with a Demon leader when no Demon events are on might be a problem.

Macbeth, the Fire Theatrical Demon ( Un-evolved form: Macbeth ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * See Double Leaders

World Councilor Diablo ( Un-evolved form: Diablo ) (3x HP/2x ATK Leader)


 * Diablo is one of the best Demon Leaders currently, giving a greater HP bonus than the others. He has great stats, a good Active Skill that deals penetrating damage and also boosts your team's attack a little for 7 turns, and is a decent Healer with a Passive Skill that heals 1/4 of your HP for 9 or more attacks used in a single turn. He's superior to Murasame in every way, and also to Macbeth though he's not as versatile as her.

-Friend Leaders available:  Muramasa, the Dark Demon General, Fatima and her evolution  Fatima the Illusionist (2.5x),  Akemi Homura and her evolution  Magical Girl Akemi Homura (2.5xHP/2xATK),  Ultimate Madoka (3xHP/2xATK), Walpurgisnacht (2.5xHP/2xATK)

(Note: Despite raising Demon units' stats, Ultimate Madoka is not a Demon herself, so she won't get the Leader Skill bonus from a simple Demons' Stats Increase Leader Skill)

God Leaders
Flame God Surtr, Water God Sigurd, and  Wind God Höðr ( Un-evolved forms:  Surtr,  Sigurd, and  Höðr) (2.5x HP/ATK Leader)


 * The three Norse gods available in Tutorial Scratch will be described together, as they are almost identical with minor differences. They are the first 2.5x HP/ATK Leaders to be added permanently in RS, and give a considerable amount of HP and ATK to God teams. They have however some flaws that should be considered before choosing any of them as a Starter Leader: first, God units are either rare to find or hard to beat, except for a single area series event, so getting a God team as a beginner will be very difficult. Secondly, their Active Skills are more suited to Elemental teams rather than God teams, and will have little use if you don't have other Gods of the same element in your team. So despite giving a very good boost to HP and ATK, it is not recommended at all to start with one of them.

Jinsoku, the Wind Psychic ( Un-evolved form: Jinsoku) (2.5x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Jinsoku is a Wind God with a lot of HP and a decent ATK stat. His Active Skill allows you to use more panels for two turns by extending the turn countdown by 3 seconds, and his Passive Skill increases his own attack if your Health is at its maximum. Like the Norse Gods he will be hard to use as a Leader because God units are still rare, but he's a better option than them for beginners, because he isn't more suited to be a Wind sub-unit than a God Leader or sub-unit.

Flame's Tempo, Crunch  ( Un-evolved form: Crunch) (2xHP/3xATK Leader)


 * Crunch is a Fire God unit with decent HP and a great attack power with her 3k ATK stat, a powerful offensive active skill,and her Leader skill, the first Assault Shift II+ to appear in Rare Scratch. Like the other God Leaders she will be hard to use as a starter unit. But if you still wish to get a God Leader from the start, and if you'd rather have more attack than health, then she's the best pick. While she isn't more suited for an elemental Fire team like the Norse Gods, her Wind Panels' Appearance Rate Decrease passive will make Wind God sub-units rather hard to use.

-Friend Leaders available:  Odin and her evolution,  Light God Odin (2.5x),  Hǫgni and her evolution  Dark God Hǫgni (2.5x),  Hervor and his evolution  Void God Hervor (2.5x),  Ultimate Madoka (3xHP/2xATK),  Tenni and her evolution  Tenni, the Light Psychic (2.5x), Fuzz and his evolution  Darkness Tempo Fuzz  (3xHP/2xATK),  Oberon and his evolution  Oberon, the Fallen Fairy King (2.5x)

Beast Leaders
Mediator Madanai ( Un-evolved form: Madanai ) (2x HP/3x ATK Leader)


 * See Double Leaders

-Friend Leaders available:  Fushimi, the Fox Mother, Romeo, the Void Theatrical Beast,  Yashiro and his evolution  Shinto Priest Fox, Yashiro (2.5xHP/ATK),  Sawtooth  and her evolution  Dark Wave Beast, Sawtooth (2.5xHP/ATK).

Double Leaders
Leaders that increase two types of units were introduced with the "Play of the Sacred Theatre" series (also known as "Shakespeare Series"). Thanks to their double LS they are the best starting units you can get from Tutorial Scratch.

Fire & Demon
Macbeth, the Fire Theatrical Demon ( Un-evolved form: Macbeth ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Macbeth is a Fire Demon unit with decent amount of HP for a RS unit and a formidable ATK power, being one of the only units to possess a 6.0x ATK Normal Skill (that is easy to activate and is stronger than two hits from her first Normal Skill, and being a 4-panels Normal Skill it has a decent chance to trigger a critical hit, making it even stronger). She has a Drain active skill that is able to fully heal your team once she's close to her level max.

-Friend Leaders available: See Fire Leaders and Demon Leaders

Water & Machine
Othello, the Water Theatrical Machine ( Un-evolved form: Othello ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Othello is a Water Machine unit with a great amount of HP and a good ATK power as well. His active skill is a relatively useful Enemies' HP decrease of 20%. Before the addition of critical hits, his second Normal Skill was average, dealing less damage than 2 hits with his first Normal Skill, but now with 13% of chances to crit, it became a lot more useful. Machine teams led by Othello have the same advantage as the ones led by Maikaze (easy to find and powerful sub-units), with the added advantage of being able to include a Water Healer and not suffer from a too severe HP/ATK decrease with another Othello Friend Leader.

-Friend Leaders available: See Water Leaders and Machine Leaders

Wind & Human
Shakespeare, the Wind Dramatist ( Un-evolved form: Shakespeare ) (2x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Shakespeare is a Wind Human unit with great HP and a nice ATK power. She's the first Human unit to have a 4 Turns Delay, currently the most effective Delay of the game. She's also an excellent Healer with her first Normal Skill. Like Tristan, she's a great choice for a beginner if you are starting to play during a Collaboration Event, since most of the units from these events are Humans.

-Friend Leaders available: See Wind Leaders and Human Leaders

Machine & Beast
Mediator Madanai ( Un-evolved form: Madanai ) (2x HP/3x ATK Leader)


 * Madanai has the particularity of not only being the first Beast Leader available in Tutorial Scratch, but also its first double-race (Beast/Machine) unit and Leader! Madanai like a lot of Machine units has a great HP stat, but like most Beast units he has an average ATK stat (the lowest of his series in fact). He has a decent Active Skill that deals penetrating damage and can defeat an enemy with a single blow, though the probability of it working is rather low. He also has an useful Heal Normal Skill. With two races to choose from (both of which are really easy to find and level up) and a strong Leader Skill, Madanai is no doubt one of the best Leaders for beginners in Tutorial Scratch.

-Friend Leaders available: See Machine Leaders and Beast Leaders

Limit Leaders
Limit Leaders are leaders that only increases the stats of units of a specific race AND specific element (not a race or an element like Double Leaders).

Fire Human
Shokumyou, the Fire Psychic ( Un-evolved form: Shokumyou ) (2.5x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Shokumyou is a Fire Human with decent HP for a Rare Scratch unit and a high ATK power. He has an Active skill that will turn every panel into Fire ones at the cost of 1 SP, and his Passive skill that decreases Wind and Void panels will make it easier to attack and increase the combo rate. Unfortunately, it is not recommended to start with him, because assuming you choose 001-icon.png Akane as a starter, you will still need two more Fire Humans to complete your team, and they're only farmable during specific events. They aren't common in Rare Scratch (271-icon.png Bedivere,283-icon.png Uwain,344-icon.png Pavlov,966-icon.png Lady and Shokumyou himself), and the chances of getting Akane again in Friend Scratch are low. Finding other players using Shokumyou will also be a difficult task, though in Shokumyou's case you have several other powerful Leaders available. But if you still wish to use him, the following events have farmable Fire Humans: Steins;Gate, Fairy Tail, Attack on Titan, To Aru Majutsu no Index, Illusionary Station Sakurada, and WEGO I.

-Friend Leaders available:  Akane Tsunemori: Paralyzer and her evolution  Akane Tsunemori: Eliminator,  Minerva,  Flame Gauntlet-Wielding Criminal, Akane (2.5xHP/2xATK),  Makise Kurisu: Plain Clothes,  Anri Sonohara and her evolution  Saika: Anri Sonohara,  World Councilor Lady (2xHP/3xATK),  Houki and her evolution  Houki: Akatsubaki (2.5xHP/2xATK)

Water Human
Rojin, the Water Psychic ( Un-evolved form: Rojin ) (2.5x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Rojin is a Water Human unit with a great amount of HP and a decent ATK. She can increase your attack power with her Human Attack Boost Active Skill, as well as your survivability with her Water Panel Barrier Passive Skill, each Water panel on hand decreasing in-coming damage by 10%. Unfortunately she only increases the stats of Water Humans, and they aren't farmable outside of events. If you chose him as a starter 100px-005-icon.png Aoto is an option, but getting two more sub-units outside of events will be complicated, there are only 3 Water Humans currently in Rare Scratch (273-icon.png Tristan,285-icon.png Breunor and Rojin herself), and finding another Aoto in Friend Scratch is uncommon. Finding friends who use Rojin as a Leader will also be hard. But if you still wish to use her, the following events have farmable Water Humans: Steins;Gate, Fairy Tail, Attack on Titan, To Aru Majutsu no Index, WEGO II, and Palace of Ocean Niraikanai.

-Friend Leaders available:  Saint Knight Tristan,  Saint Knight Breunor,  Princess Punt: Alice Dress (and her evolution  Princess Punt, the Blue Empress),  Water Katana-Wielding Criminal, Aoto (2.5xHP/2xATK),  Mayushii Nyan Nyan,  Mikado Ryugamine and his evolution  Dollars: Mikado Ryugamine,  Sarashiki Tatenashi and her evolution  Sarashiki Tatenashi: ML

Water Fairy
Water's Tempo, Chorus ( Un-evolved form: Chorus ) (2.5x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Chorus is a Water Fairy unit with a lot of HP and a decent ATK. Her Active skill increases both your survivability (Turns all Panels into Heart ones) and your attack power (Increases Water units' attack) at the same time. She also has a Heal Normal Skill. While a decent Water Fairy sub-unit,111-icon.png Tiny Mermaid,is farmable, she has a low drop rate in the first quests, and getting her through Friend Scratch might take a while, so Chorus might be easier to use as a beginner's leader than the Human Limit Leaders, but it doesn't mean she's an ideal starting Leader. If you're looking for more sub-units in Rare Scratch besides Chorus herself, you don't unfortunately have a lot of choice. 358-icon.png Tiny Veronica could help you for a while, but the best ones are 147-icon.png Undine and 475-icon.png Toto. Water Fairies are also rare in events, currently only two events have farmable sub-units for Chorus: Ononokomachi's Bathroom and Milky Way II.

-Friend Leaders available:  Viviane and her evolution Viviane, the Lake Fairy (2.5x)

Wind Demon
Wind's Tempo Flanger  ( Un-evolved form: Flanger ) (2.5x HP/ATK Leader)


 * Flanger is a Wind Demon with good HP and decent ATK. Like Chorus her Active has a support effect and also increases attack power: it changes all Panels into Wind and absorbs all damage taken for 1 turn. Her Nano-Panel Barrier can also help with survivability at the cost of Water panels. She's currently the Limit Leader the easiest to use as a starter Leader, thanks to 100px-101-icon.png Wind Blade being a decent sub-unit for Flanger as well as being rather easy to get for beginners. There aren't a lot of Wind Demons besides Flanger herself, in Rare Scratch 783-icon.png Wind Barrett is an option, but you also have 477-icon.png Scarecrow and 631-icon.png Yasutsuna who are stronger. As for events only two currently give farmable Wind Demons: Sleeping Beauty and Madoka Magica Collaboration I and VII.

-Friend Leaders available:  Fatima and her evolution Fatima, the Illusionist (2.5x)
