The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Co-op unlocks late at Adventure Rank 16 and disables main story quests, meaning shared play is mostly limited to clearing domains, hunting field bosses, or gathering world resources together.
Skills this builds
- Teaming up to clear high-level artifact domains and weekly trounce domains
- Tag-teaming elemental combos against overworld bosses like Regisvines or Hypostases
- Scouting regional specialties and ascension materials across each other's worlds
Try this together
When farming a boss like the Pyro Regisvine, coordinate Hydro and Cryo characters across your teams to trigger Vaporize and Melt reactions together.
