Gameplay Tutorial

This walks through the main things to do. First, raise your Apex Forum rating by challenging its members; reaching Level 4 (the Seeded Contestant tier) earns an invite to the Championship Qualifiers. Second, explore the town, bond with more Anima, repair Aspect Fractures, and work toward restoring peace. Third, help the residents of Iia by completing their Happiness Events. Finally, advance the main story, finish Quests, and fight Nexus Battles. All of these grant Experience and raise your player level.
