D 100 Gold 200 Gold 300 Gold 350 Gold 500 Gold
C 0 500 Gold 750 Gold 1,000 Gold 1,500 Gold 2,500 Gold

  • One card will be consumed per power up attempt.
  • Gold cost is irregardless of the success rate.  So it'd cost you 500 gold to upgrade a C rank card 1 level if you use a C rank card (100%) or a D rank card (33%)

Cards Needed to Gain Rank[]

Warning: Do not look unless you're immune to horror, you have a plan, you want to give up, or you want a reason to spend real money.  Refer to the Tips section on how to make an S-rank character with only 5 million gold.

  • Assumptions:
    • 12 cards are needed to upgrade to the next level:  (1x Base Card + 5x equivalent => 1x +5 Card) * 2 = 12
    • Using 100% success chance only.
    • Card Cost is based on the cost of buying a single card at 3,000 Gold.  There are savings if you buy card packs instead.


To read the charts, start from the desired rank.  And then read across.  That's it.  For instance, to obtain an S-rank card, you will need to start with 20,736 D-rank cards.  If you should have any B or C-rank cards, this number is decreased.  In other words, you do NOT need 20,736 D-rank cards, 1,728 C-rank cards, 144 B-rank cards, and 12 A-rank cards to create an S-rank card.  20,736 D-rank cards will be enough.

Tips[]

  • Powering C-Rank cards should be done using chance method.
    • Buying cards and powering using 100% chance will cost you 38,900 gold to create each B-rank card used to upgrade because you need 12 D-rank cards.
      • Powering a C-rank card to +5 using this method will cost you 194,500 gold.
    • The chance method requires 8 cards at most.
      • Each failure grants you 15 power points.  100 / 15 = 6.6667 which rounds up to 7 cards needed for 100 power points.  The next upgrade afterwards (8th) will have have a 100% success chance.
      • The 8 upgrades at 2,500 gold per power-up comes out to 20,000 gold.  You need 8 cards, which adds an additional 24,000 gold.  In total, each extra power up will cost you a maximum of 44,000 gold.
      • Powering a C-rank card to +5 using this method will cost you 170,000 gold  [(500 * 8 + 24000) + (750 * 8 + 24000) + (1000 * 8 + 24000) + (1500 * 8 + 24000) + (2500 * 8 + 24000)].
  • Powering B-Rank cards should be done using the chance method.
    • Buying cards and powering using 100% chance will cost you 479,300 gold to create each B-rank card used to upgrade because you need 144 D-rank cards.
      • Powering a B-rank card to +5 using this method will cost you 2,396,500 gold.
    • However, using the chance method only requires 16 cards at most.
      • Each failure grants you 7 power points.  100 / 7 = 14.28 which rounds up to 15 cards needed for 100 power points.  The next upgrade afterwards (16th) will have a 100% success chance.
      • The 16 upgrades at 5,000 gold per power-up comes out to 80,000 gold.  You need 16 cards, which adds an additional 48,000 gold.  In total, each extra power up will cost you a maximum of 128,000 gold.
      • Powering a B-rank card to +5 using this method will cost you 440,000 gold [(1000 * 16 + 48000) + (1500 * 16 + 48000) + (2000 * 16 + 48000) + (3000 * 16 + 48000) + (5000 * 16 + 48000)].
  • Powering A-Rank cards should be done using the chance method.
    • Buying cards and powering using 100% chance will cost you 5,776,600 Gold to create each A-rank card used to upgrade because you need 1728 D-rank cards.
      • Powering an A-rank card to +5 using this method will cost you 28,883,000 Gold.
    • However, using the chance method only requires 51 cards at most.
      • Each failure grants you 2 power points.  100 / 2 = 50 cards needed for 100 power points.  The next upgrade afterwards (51st) will have a 100% success chance.
      • The 51 upgrades at 7,500 Gold per power-up comes out to 382,500 Gold.  You need 51 cards, which adds an additional 153,000 Gold.  In total, each extra power up will cost you a maximum of 535,500 Gold.
      • Powering an A-rank card to +5 using this method will cost you 1,721,250 Gold [(1500 * 51 + 153000) + (2250 * 51 + 153000) + (3000 * 51 + 153000) + (4500 * 51 + 153000) + (7500 * 51 + 153000)].
      • To make this even cheaper, save all C-rank cards that you manage to obtain from the card packs.  If you save these cards until it is time to upgrade the A-rank card from +4 to +5, your final cost will end up being:  1,353,750 Gold [(1500 * 51 + 153000) + (2250 * 51 + 153000) + (3000 * 51 + 153000) + (4500 * 51 + 153000) + (7500 * 16 + 48000)].
      • Generally you will not be able to save enough C-rank cards to upgrade from +3 to +5.  But if you do manage to collect around 30ish C-rank cards, it's usually enough to complete both upgrades.  However, it would be better to save them for that second A-rank card that you're planning to upgrade.
