Weapon Leveling

Enhancing a weapon can be done through Dudu in the Shopping plaza. Every weapon you use to enhance another weapon will cost you one grinder. For weapons 13+ you will need one Lambda Grinder per weapon used.
For the recommended method of enhancing 13 weapons please look below this table.

Best way to enhance your 13 Weapon

Please note that items you can purchase through the badge shop come with a grind/enhance cap of +30.
To enhance items bought through the badge shop over 30 you need to use duplicate weapons as fodder to get it to +31 - +35.

Recommended Method for grinding/enhancing items that require Lambda Grinders: Enhance 13 from 1-30 with 3 Lambda Grinders, 3 Weapons and 2 Great Enhance Success 100%.

Use one +26 12 to enchance your 13 to +10.
Use one +30 12 to enchance your 13 from +10 to +20 with Great Enhance Success 100%.
Use one +30.5 (+30 with half a bar full) 12 to enchance your 13 from +20 to +30 with Great Enhance Success 100%.

You can buy Great Enhance Success 100% from the market.

  • Though rarity below 10 is grouped into three groups, the Same Rarity bonus is not applied for groups; it requires an identical rarity. For example a 3 weapon does not give the Same Rarity bonus to a 1 or 2 weapon.
  • The Same Type and Same Rarity bonuses can be given together. For example using a Red Sword as a material item for a Zax provides both bonuses as they are both 7 Swords.
  • The Same Weapon bonus is mutually exclusive; it does not also give the Same Type and Same Rarity bonuses.
  • The EXP given by material items is the total EXP that it took to Enhance it to that level. Say we have a 1 weapon at +10, the EXP that it would give as a fodder would be the EXP it took to Enhance it to 10, which is 50, divided by 2; along with the base EXP value, the fodder would give a total of 27 EXP.

Attribute Enhancing

Attribute Enhancing is a way to increase your Weapon Attribute, thus making them stronger. You can enhance your weapons attribute in the same way as you would regularly enhance your weapons + rating. It is recommended for 13 weapons to increase your attribute level at +30, because you need a duplicate weapon to break pass +30 anyways.


  • Same Rarity/Same Weapon/Same Element: Combining two copies of the weapon of the same element will give an additive effect on the element. (e.g two 20 Fire Katana will give 40 Fire.)
  • Same Rarity/Same Weapon/Different Element: Combining two copies of the weapon but of the different element will give the base weapon an increase of 10 in element, regardless of the Fodder's Attribute amount. (e.g upgrading a 20 Fire Katana with a 25 Ice one will give 30 Fire.)
  • Same Rarity/Different Weapon: Using a different weapon but of the same type and rarity will only give 1 element increase to the base weapon, regardless of the Fodder's Attribute amount.
  • Attribute Support Items will also increase the target weapon's Attribute in addition to the bonus granted by the initial fodder.

Photon Color

Certain pieces of equipment have an ability known as Photon Color. This is signified by a small color palette icon at the bottom left of the equipment's icon. The Item Lab is able to change the color of the target equipment at no cost.

Unit Enhancing

Unit enhancing can also be done at Dudu.

Ring Enhancement

All rings start at +1 and can be enhanced to +20 at the Item Lab by 1 level at a time, similar to units. The success rate is usually 80% for all levels, with some exceptions depending on ring. Unlike units, failure does risk the enhancement level decreasing.

Each enhancement costs 30,000 meseta. Depending on the ring, it may also cost Grinders, Lambda Grinders and rocks and/or rare stones from gathering. The material cost of enhancing some rings increases after the ring reaches +10 or +15.

Rings cannot be enhanced as soon as they are created; their enhancement level cap is determined by how much Ring EXP they have accrued. While equipped, rings receive 5% (rounded down) of the experience gained, including from client orders and missions. This determines their Enhancement Level Cap:

Enhance Cap Ring EXP Cumulative
+1 0 0
+1 → +2 200 200
+2 → +3 ? ?
+3 → +4 ? ?
+4 → +5 9,600 ?
+5 → +6 ? ?
+6 → +7 ? ?
+7 → +8 ? ?
+8 → +9 ? ?
+9 → +10 ? ?
+10 → +11 ? ?

+15 → +16 ? ?
+16 → +17 ? ?
+17 → +18 ? ?
+18 → +19 ? ?
+19 → +20 252,000 ?

All L rings allow one of three stats they provide such as MEL Pwr (determined by ring) to be increased by +1 when they are enhanced; this must be chosen or the enhancement will be denied. This is not possible for R rings.

Enhancement usually increases the potency of the skill provided by the ring. An exception is compound rings, whose skills start at the effect of the +20 rings combined to create them. This means enhancing compound L rings only provides additional stats, and enhancing compound R rings does nothing.

Candy Compression

Candy Compression can be done at Ariel to the right of Dudu.
