Asterite is the premium currency that fuels the gacha system. While it may be tempting to spend Asterite freely on the standard banner for character pulls, especially since Novice banner has an early guarentee, however exercise restraint and strategic foresight. In the beginning, players may think there is an abundance of this resource, but overtime it becomes significantly less as players finish quests, and exploring.

Data Bank Level holds the key to unlocking the full potential of Echo drops, essential for progression and character development.

With a higher Data Bank Level, players will be able to achieve higher rarity and frequency of Echo drops, making their characters even stronger. This also goes hand in hand with not wasting too much resources in Echo levelling early on, as players are recommended to keep these resoueces for higher rarity echo's with suitable sonatas and stats.
