Featured Story Card

The 5 Summer Rocket story card is a story card that features a parallel resemblance to a certain story card in regards to the layout of the various effects it possess.

Right on the spot, you will be greeted with the adds 2 layers to party's Barrier effect. This allows your team to have enhanced survivability in times where it can be more convenient than your regular old 1 additional Barrier. This story card also features damage enhancing benefits through its 40% Missile Bullet power UP and 25% Fire power UP effects which, in total, is a direct 65% DMG increase, which is considered quite good in today's standards.

While the effects of this story card are particularly valuable, there are existing alternatives if you just want to have singular effects.

There's plenty of Fire power UP cards so only those with 40-50% UP are listed above.

Of course, to get the most out of this story card, you will obviously pair it with the right characters. Just below this segment, you will be able to view Friends who can benefit from this card on their Last Words but that is not to say that this card is limited to that usage alone.

Team Comp Guides

Having trouble with the stage? Then you've come to the right place! This section contains some guides that may help you out on your journey in defeating this stage.

Community Guides

Clearing the Divergent Spirits stages until Spirit Level 120 will reward you with a total of 5 copies of the story card, equivalent to 1 MLB copy of the card when combined. If you want to farm more copies of the story card, you can consider farming at Spirit Level 100 as it is currently believed that the drop rate for Spirit Level 101-120 are the same as 100.

Some players have submitted team comps consisting of lower Base Spirit Level with added Special Rules, equal to Total Spirit Level 100 as it can be easier to farm than the typical Base Spirit Level 100 difficulty due to a wide difference in stats. Furthermore, the Special Rules vary between different stages so any player can take advantage of rules based on their circumstances. However, please note that drop rate for both scenarios have no confirmation of being the same at the time of this writing.

As such, team comps will be split into the following:

Level 100 Farm Comps

  • Base Spirit Level 100
  • Total Spirit Level 100
  • Spirit Level 101-119

Level 120 Comps

  • Spirit Level 120 Clear
  • Spirit Level 120 Farm

Below this section are some of the community made team comps for the stage that can serve as further reference for your endeavors.

Spirit Level 100 Farm Comps

Base Spirit Level 100

[20 SP] E1 Koakuma + L80 Remilia by i.suk#1092

5 Turn Setup

[28 SP] S2 Satori + B3 Yorihime + A6 Remilia by Sazako#3057

7 Turn Setup

[32 SP] L1 Sannyo + B2 Junko + A8 Reisen + B3 Toyohime by ! some dood#9675

6 Turn Setup

NOTES:

  • B3 Toyohime's Dancer In the Puddle can be replaced by regular Spirit Power UP Cards, they just serve as Stat Sticks as well.
  • Myouren Temple Anniversary may not be necessary at all, since everyone has more than 0.75 of the required P for their turns. It's only used to ensure things go smoothly, just in case.
  • The Worlds in Hands on A8 Reisen's SC4 and LW are mostly just used to support B2 Junko and thus can be replaced by similarly supporting cards. For example, Mansion of Memories on SC4 and Send Her to the Underworld on her Last Word. Worlds in Hand is chosen because it's the most accessible option.
  • B2 Junko is completely replaceable by anyone who can nuke the sides once A8 Reisen deals with Meiling. Or alternatively, anyone who can nuke Meiling before A8 Reisen can use her Last Word. Usual options like L80 Remilia and S2 Satori likely suffice.
  • A8 Reisen is replaceable with anyone who can do her equivalent Breaks, along with being able to nuke Meiling's final gauge. A Max Awakened A6 Sakuya or a Max Awakened A6 Remilia might work just as well.
