#a few login bonuses and a part from another event being a good example too

it's still odd to me that victor recognizes alt milla and talks about saving her in a way he implies he couldn't before

1) he doesn't seem to be referring to their post-exoflection interactions, yet she's a different fractured milla from the one he (might) have met, and "prime maxwell is stuck in the interdimensional abyss and can't come back" can't really happen in a fractured dimension: more of one entity can coexist there, so the pelune incident with the whole deal about the ritual of sacrifice shouldn't be replicated either

2) why would chronos be throwing all of the "new maxwells" into the interdimensional abyss through all almost one million dimensions to make the story happen

3) there's no mention of muzet and milla being present when victor kills everyone either. not in the game, not in the manga, and not in anywhere you can think of (granted they could've just gone back to the spirit world after the fractured reveal)

it's even more strange that he does not recognize ivar in the christmas event, even though he's still ludger so he should have: ivar's there by bisley's side when ludger is told he's framed as a person of interest, and he's there to give you the weapons that victor does show he has when you fight him, among other scenes like the fractured ivar that tells you about milla kresnik

Ikerev Tips

I’ve been playing Ikerev for a while now. I actually first started this game 3 years ago, and I was just browsing through the app store, looking for nice games to play, when I first saw Jonah’s character cg.

A little bit of background on me now: I have a mole under the RIGHT eye. And I’ve noticed that it’s a really popular trope in anime/manga/games to have a mole under a character’s eye. But the thing is, almost every character I’ve seen with moles have them under the LEFT eye, and it frustrates me cuz we need to give right eye mole people some love. So when I saw that Jonah has a mole under his right eye, I knew that he was The One.

However, I guess the game didn’t really appeal to me at the time. I finished Jonah’s romantic route and Loki’s dramatic route and I loved them, but I deleted the game afterwards cuz no other characters appealed to me. However, 1 year ago, I picked up the game again, and I ended up getting REALLY invested in all the characters and became obsessed with this game.

I rambled for a while there. The point that I’m trying to make is that I have quite a bit of experience with Ikerev. And I thought that it would be a good idea to share some of the tips I’ve gathered over time.

IMPORTANT NOTE: As a f2p player, this guide is aimed more towards the other f2p players because I don’t have any experience with paying for games (I’m a minor and my parents would skin me alive if I spend money on otome games). So...I’M SORRY PAYING PLAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CUT FOR LENGTH

Gacha

-First of all, you’ll want to spin for at least 2 five star cards, because those are going to be a huge help in destiny duels.

-After you have your two 5 stars, only spin for the cards that you really, really want. Avatar gachas are worth more of your tokens.

-You can only really use two cards in destiny duels, but you can have a lot of clothing. It’ll boost your beauty score more.

Destiny Duels

-It’s popular misconception, but intimacy actually has nothing to do with winning or losing battles.

*It can be a somewhat helpful guide to determine how long a player has been playing, but it doesn’t guarantee a win or a draw.

-Look at your opponents’ cards first—make sure that they have at least one card that is a level beneath yours. For example, if you have two four stars, then make sure the opponent has at least one three star.

-If you can’t find an opponent with a card level beneath yours, then look at their avatars and try to estimate their beauty that way.

*So something that I found to be SUPER useful was to go to the avatar shop and get an idea of what clothing in each route looks like. E.g., being able to tell what’s Luka’s normal hairstyle versus his premium hairstyle.

*It also helps differentiate route clothing from event bonuses, because you’re generally going to want to avoid the people who have a lot of event bonuses.

-Also, write down the name of the people who you can beat versus the people who you can’t beat.

*If you can’t find someone who you can beat, then stop doing the 5 duels in a row thing and go through each opponent, one destiny duel at a time.

*I can guarantee you that you will find at least one person who you can beat, even if they don’t look like it.

Intimacy

-You really need to remember to use those intimacy potions. 

-Like, check your inventory once every few days to make sure you haven’t just left several potions sitting there.

*I really wish the game could just give us the intimacy directly instead of making us remember to actually use them. Sigh.

*But once you’ve got that covered intimacy checks will be a piece of cake.

Lin

-YOU NEED TO GET 50 FRIENDS ASAP!!! AND THEN GREET THEM EVERY DAY!!!!!

*Once you reach 50 friends, then every time you greet them all, you get 1,000 lin. Coupled with the lin that you get from successfully completing the destiny duels and also the ones from the login bonuses, you can pass every avatar challenge easily, including the one that requires 22,000 lin.

*A lot of people forget to greet friends every day, which is understandable. So something that I tried and really worked out for me is to set a schedule. Like, every time I complete a part in the story, I go and greet all my friends. It just helps greeting become instinctual. 

Magic Crystals

-Have a specific goal.

*I mean it. You have to have something that you want to achieve with magic crystals. For me, it’s getting both of Jonah’s birthday event stories when November rolls around (which will cost me 6,400 magic crystals), and I’ve got around 4,500 accumulated.

*It really gives a lot of satisfaction to see yourself working steadily towards your goal, and therefore give you more motivation to play.

*It’s always better to have a goal to work towards rather than spending magic crystals randomly.

- After you’ve set your goal…HOARD THE CRYSTALS. THEY’RE GOING TO BE HUGE HELPS NO MATTER WHAT YOUR GOAL IS.

-And after you’ve reached your goal, look for another one! Some options include:

*Getting all premium attire/unlocking all his side stories for your favorite character’s route (or for all the routes if you’re ambitious.)

*Level up your beauty to twice what it is now.

*Full clear on five different events.

*Save up for buying tokens when an event gacha that you really want rolls around.

*Save up for buying time-limited stories and/or attire.

*Have 50 Jonah chibis in your room.

Events

-Don’t get too invested in the events that you aren’t going to full clear on.

-You should always try, though.

*In story events, you can try to win destiny duels during lucky times to get 2x the amount of lin.

*In collections events, the bonuses are always worth going for.

-Also, save up at least 30 tea and cake sets before attempting full clear. You should also have a healthy amount of magic crystals ready to spend just in case things didn’t work out quite as expected.

*And don’t use those tea and cake sets until you’re at the last lucky time of the event.

*Anything can happen, so it’s better to wait a bit until you use those.
