Progression Tracking

Episodes

  • Progress through the story by viewing specific narrative content regarding the parallel world of Magatia. The story progresses in a Grand Athenaeum style where you’ll transform into Althea herself!

    • This prologue must be viewed first in order to activate the Kroma Pack feature.

  • Upon completing an episode, you will receive:

    • Passes, medals, Kroma Coins, etc.

  • Please note that episodes must be watched in chronological order, requiring you to finish the previous episode before proceeding to the next.

  • Episode watch history is shared across all characters on an account in the world. If one character is part-way in an episode, your other characters cannot access it until that first character finishes it.

  • Episodes 1- 5 will have level restrictions that must be met before it can be viewed. The prologue however does not have a level restriction and can be viewed immediately.

Kroma Pack

  • Click the ‘Collection Task’ button to complete your daily and special tasks. Upon completion, you will receive:

    • Kroma Points: Points collected to fill the gauge to level up your pass. Higher levels unlock more rewards on the track.

    • Kroma Coins: Used to spend in event shops.

  • Your level will increase as you earn Kroma Points to fill your gauge, and rewards can be claimed even if you have not watched the story episodes.
