Potential Unlocking

Potential NT

Players can select a potential upon the weapon reaching a +10 grind. This potential can be leveled up further once the weapon reaches a grind value of +20 and +30. Since the grinds will cap at [+10/+20/+30], please be sure not to contribute too much [Grind EXP], as it will be wasted until the potential level is raised.

One of the following items may be required for unlocking a potential.

  • フォトンスフィア | Photon Sphere
  • フォトンブースター | Photon Booster
  • ウェポノイドブースター | Weaponoid Booster
  • アリーナブースター | Arena Booster
  • クリファドフューズ | Qliphad Fuse

Overlimit: +35

Overlimit

NT weapons lowest cap is at +30 grind. However, you can raise the grind cap beyond this limit by contributing fodder weapons that are the exact same weapon as the base weapon. In most circumstances, you'll need 2 ~ 6 copies of the same weapon to bring it to +35. How many you need depends on all of your current weapons grind caps. Each cap will increase the grind cap by a different amount

  • 30 Grind Cap = +1 Grind Cap
  • 31 Grind Cap = +2 Grind Cap
  • 32 Grind Cap = +3 Grind Cap
  • 33 Grind Cap = +4 Grind Cap
  • 34 Grind Cap = +5 Grind Cap

You can raise your grind cap at any time during the grinding process. See below for more information on increasing the grind cap

 

Overlimit: Grind Cap Raising

It's imperative to know the grind cap on your weapon. Grind Caps represent the MAXIMUM grind your weapon can currently achieve. The weapon's grind cap is indicated by the red box in the screenshot above.

 

The yellow box here is showing the new grind cap for the weapon.

Grind Cap Raising Process

  1. Acquire weapons that share the same name and rarity as the base weapon.
  2. Each weapon, when used as fodder, will raise the grind cap by 1 ~ 5.

Pre-Grind Capped Weapons

  • Weapons of ★13 rarity will drop with a randomized grind cap of +31 ~ +34.
  • Weapons of ★13 rarity from [Collection Files] contain a grind cap of +30.
  • Weapons of ★14 rarity will drop with a grind cap of +35.
  • Weapons of ★14 rarity will from Crest Exchange will be a grind cap of +30.

★13 weapons that drop directly from the quest, will acquire a random grind cap of [+31] ~ [+34]. Using this weapon as fodder will add [+2~5] and [the value of the grind cap] to the base weapon.

Adding Up Grind Caps

Weapons with grind caps of [+31 ~ +34] will add [+1~5]  and [the value of the grind cap] to the base weapon.

For example:

  • [Base] + [Material] = (Total Added to Cap) = New Grind Cap
  • [+30 Cap] + [+31 Cap] = (+2 Cap) = +32 Grind Cap.
  • [+32 Cap] + [+32 Cap] = (+3 Cap) = +35 Grind Cap
  • [+30 Cap] + [+33 Cap] = (+4 Cap) = +34 Grind Cap

Skipping Weapon Copies with Grind Cap +1

  • Obtaining the [Grind Cap +1] item raises the cap on the weapon by 1.
  • These can be found in the Battle Arena Scratch or the Recycle Shop.
  • You can purchase it from players by searching 強化値上限+1

 

Elemental Grinding

Grind Element

You can raise the elemental values of NT weapons by contributing fodder weapons that share the same category and rarity as the base weapon. Elemental grinding is done through the same menu in which you grind your weapon.

  • Same Category + Same Rarity + Different Weapon = +1 Element
  • Same Name + Different Element = +10 Element
  • Same Name + Same Element = +Value of Fodder's Element
