How to Reroll in Ayakashi Rise
Now that you’re familiar with the best characters in Ayakashi Rise, let’s talk about rerolling. Rerolling lets you get powerful characters at the beginning of the game, which can really help you progress faster. Here’s a guide to how it works in Ayakashi Rise.
- First, start the game and play the tutorial to become familiar with the game mechanics.
- Play the game until you unlock the ‘Recruitment’ feature. You can find this feature by clicking on the ‘Shop’ option.
- Once you unlock the feature, use the arrows to find the ‘Standard Recruitment’ banner. Here, you can use your free pulls.
- Claim all the rewards from the mail for additional pulls.
- If you’ve not received a top-tier character, click your profile at the top left of the home screen, and click the ‘Settings’ option. Then press the ‘Account’ option and press ‘Delete’ or ‘Log Out’ to reroll.
Start the game using a guest account. Only connect your account to social media if you get really good characters (SSR or SR) when you first play. If you pull a top-tier character, then it’s safe to link your account. If you don’t get lucky, just keep trying the same steps.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Who are the best characters in Ayakashi Rise?
Ayame, Tomoe, Ryuuko, and Seira stand out as top-tier characters because they excel in dealing damage, providing support, or staying alive.
Which S Tier character should I aim for first?
If you want a strong start, aim for Luna or Youko for healing, or Ryuuko and Ayame for damage.
Should I reroll specifically for an S Tier character?
Starting over repeatedly until you get at least one top-tier character will give you a big boost at the beginning of the game and can also help you later on.
Which character should I aim for while rerolling?
It’s generally a good idea to start over your account if you get a really powerful SSR character. If you’re aiming for a quick advantage, though, rerolling until you get either Ayame or Mayuri is a great way to begin.
