Building a team

Formats

A format is a set of team rules. Every team is saved for one format, and rooms are created in one format.

The team

  • 6 demons, no two of the same kind (Species Clause). 4 fight, 2 wait in reserve.
  • Up to 8 skills per demon.
  • A demon can join a format only if its base level is not higher than the format's level. Every demon is raised to the format's level.

Stats

All demons in a format are at the same level, and at the same level every demon has the same total of St, Dx, Ma, Ag and Lu. They differ in how the total is spread, in resistances and in skills. On top of that you get 20 bonus points to spend, at most 10 in one stat: put them where the demon's role needs them.

StatWhat it does
Stphysical skills and the normal attack
Dxphysical and gun skills
Mamagic damage
Agaccuracy and evasion; your team's total Ag decides who moves first
Lucritical hits, ailment chance and recovery from ailments

HP and MP come from the demon's level and data. Remember that max HP is doubled in battle.

Skills

A demon can have:

  • its own skills that it learns at or below the format's level;
  • inherited skills from other demons, if they could be inherited at the format's level or below.

A skill is available at a level only if some demon that learns it exists at that level, which is how fusion works in the game. For example, at level 50 Megidolaon (available from level 75),

Repel Phys (91) and Phys Pierce (99) are not allowed. Unique skills and enemy skills cannot be inherited.

Import and export

Teams can be exported as text and imported back, so you can share a team in a chat. A team can also get a public read-only link.
