While Dislyte is a gacha-style squad combat game, it also offers a lot of ways to use your daily energy in various auto modes. This allows you to complete most story levels and boss battles you’ve beaten at least once in multi-battle mode, allowing you to queue up to ten battles of the same type while you do something else.
Essentially, multi-battle allows you to farm a variety of items, relics, and mons that will further help your Espers and squads improve. But with so many options available to a new player, it can be hard to fathom what the best methods and tricks are. So, if you need some guidance on getting on the most efficient farming paths, read on below.
Farming XP In Dislyte
Levelling up your Espers is achieved by gaining experience through combat but also by using Experimon – items that any Esper can consume to gain XP. You can gain Experimon through various bonuses and through several shops in-game. By far, the best method of getting Experimon is through practice stages in Story mode. This is doubly good as the Espers or Starimon completing the Practice stage will also gain XP for the battles themselves.
The Dislyte Story map has 12 Chapters, each of which has eight levels plus a Practice level. The Practice level of each chapter becomes available once you’ve completed level five in a chapter and is repeatable thereafter as often as you like – including in multi-battle mode. Also, note that the story is completable in Easy, then Hard, and finally, Purgatory mode. The higher level you complete story mode practice levels, the more Experimon – and of better quality – you will receive.
Practice Mode Squad Composition
To get the best bang for your buck, you’ll ideally want to send four low-level Espers or Starimon into the battles alongside one high-level Esper who will actually do the fighting. Remember, it doesn’t matter if squad members die during combat – as long as you win the battle, everyone on the squad will get the same XP. You can experiment to find the highest level battle you can survive regularly, then set it to multi-battle and sit back while the XP and Experimon roll in.
Starimon are the best way to get your Espers past the levels 30, 40, and 50 (depending on their rarity). It takes three three-star Starimon to get a three-star Esper past level 30, up to five five-star Starimon to get any Esper beyond level 50.
Five-star Starimon are a rare commodity, so you’ll likely find yourself upgrading three-stars to four, then to fives. You’ll be doing a lot of Starimon XP farming if you want a few full squads of level 60 Espers.
If you are trying to get one Esper or Starimon levelled up quickly, consider sending just that unit with the captain as a two-man squad. That unit will get a lot more XP than would be shared around a full squad. For example, on Purgatory Chapter five Practice, four Starimon will get 4,188 XP plus a bonus of 523 each. However, sending a single Starimon with your captain will net them the same 4,188 XP - but a much better bonus of 11,817 XP.
Finally, if time is an issue, sending two high-level Espers will reduce battle times considerably – but at the expense of XP gained.
The following Espers are great choices for sending along with your rookies as squad captain:
- Li Ling: An absolute beast who deals massive AoE damage with Altar, followed by a solid single target hit with Tai Chi that also self-heals him.
- Tang Xuan: If you got Tang instead of Li as your ‘free’ Legendary Esper, do not despair – he is still a solid farmer squad captain. He has both AoE and single target specials that do big damage, while Enchanted Dream gives him a Shield for two turns.
- Mona: Another excellent choice for farming, as both Lunar Hail and Hunter’s Mark hit all enemies for big damage – with the latter self-healing for 21 percent of the damage she deals.
Every player should have two of these three Espers from a very early stage in the game, so you’ll have good farming options almost immediately.
Relics For XP Farming Squad Captains
If you want to survive tougher battles with a single high-level Esper, consider switching to these Relic sets:
- Hades (Una): This set grants Lifesteal, with heals the Esper for 35 perfect of the damage they deal – perfect for self-preservation.
- Sword Avatara (Mui): As the Esper is likely to be the only squad member standing quite quickly, Counterattack is a very handy ability to have – even if it only has a 25 percent chance of triggering each attack.
Otherwise, you’ll be wanting to clear the levels as quickly as possible – so maximise your captain’s damage:
- War Machine (Una): Increases ATK by 30 percent to maximise your damage.
- Fiery Incandescence (Mui): Increases C.RATE by 25 percent, giving you more chance to land critical hits.
Farming Relics And Waves In Dislyte
Thanks to multi-battles, it is also relatively simple to farm Relics (Ritual Miracle) and Waves (Sonic Miracle). Once you have completed a difficulty level once, multi-battle becomes available for it. This allows you to farm the levels on auto while you concentrate on more difficult tasks.
Once you start to roll some top-quality tank-style Espers, it is even possible for some of them to solo bosses such as Kronos and Apep at difficulty ten (if they also have the right Relics). The likes of Hades and Ren Si are well-equipped to take a lot of damage while also dealing it out, meaning you can pack the team with weak Espers and Starimon – allowing you to farm XP while also farming Waves or Relics.
