Preface

The shopping mall is similar to the shop in many games such as princes connect, genshin impact or various other gacha games where you can exchange varying currencies acquired within the game for rewards. This guide aims to showcase which is the best way to spend your currency so you can efficiently play the game.

How you access the store is through ESC -> and then Commissary.

Crystal Dust Store


The energy spent in this shop is energy crystal dust, this can be acquired from spending Vitality. Calculations are laid out below for those who want the math.


You should always aim to get the Booster Module as well as the advancement Module. Advancement modules are spend to advance your equipment to the next tier per 5 levels. If you have any left remaining then you should aim for gifts or not spend at all in case you want to account for occasional breaks from the game.

Efficiency Calculations

1260 Vitality is gained per week. 1000 should always be spent on 40 Booster modules and 2 Advancement Modules. Which means you can get 4.33 Purple Special Gifts.

Weapon Store


The currency here is Black gold which is acquired from rolling on the standard banners. Keep in mind that the weapons that you can buy here must be first acquired before you can buy dupes with black gold.

It’s best to spend this currency on weapons that gain significant margins from their advancement. I'll further lay out my personal recommendations below. Keep in mind however you can invest to what you personally like in terms of character design or any other reason these are just certain characters that gain a great deal at low investment



Tsubasa (Icewind Arrow) to A1
Meryl (Rosy Edge) to A1 King to A1

Matrix Store


The currency is another token currency that is gained from rolling the standard Matrix banner. The difference between this banner and the weapon store is that you can exchange whatever Matrix is within the standard banner. There are no acquisition requirements so you are free to choose what you want.

It’s best to spend money on the SSR Matrix boxes. In the section below I’ll lay out a few general recommendations on what is best to buy with your premium currency.

In terms of priority you should focus on Main DPS generally first and the shield breakers though this is not a hard rule.

I recommend Samir / Crow -> Shiro -> King

Shield Breaker


2 Piece Shiro

2 Piece King

DPS


2 Piece Samir


2 Piece Crow

Crew Store


Merit is spent which is acquired from first being in a crew and contributing donations to your crew as well as doing the crew missions each week. They can also be acquired from reaching certain crew honor point milestones each week. I would recommend inserting yourself into an active group with a large group of players if possible as that would maximize the amount of Merit that you can potentially gain.
Potent Omnium crystal is the only thing in this shop that you should be aiming for as it’s one of the materials used to advance your suppressor. Your base stats are raised from having a higher level suppressor so this is one of the most important things to buy in the shop in general.

Support Store


Support points are spent within this store and it’s awarded for supporting other players who are new to the game. Joining a team and taking part in boss raids, general vitality usage scenarios will give away support points. Make sure to play the game with your friends or help others out in world chat to freely get these support points. The daily limit of these support points is approximately 1500 per day which means that you can get 10,500 a week.


Joint supply chips should be bought from this store page as it heightens your chance of better material drops when taking part in joint missions.If you have extra then you should spend them on Black Nucleus. If you’re spending optimally then you’d spend 2700 on Joint supply and 3000 on Black Nucleus totaling 5700. If you were to buy all of the gold that would be 3,500 and now we are totaling 9,200.

Remaining points can be spent on vehicle parts as that can give you dark crystals though feel free to use the remaining on whatever you would like as this is not a very high priority.

Point Store


Training points are acquired from taking part in training missions. If you want the maximum amount of currency each day then aim for the hardest difficulty of those as well as making sure to pass them with the requirements outlined for maximum training points.

Your points are best spent on gifts in general. It doesn't really matter which gift you choose as they all are the same value affection wise, just make sure to choose the correct gift for the character you would like to raise the affection of.
