How do you buy DLC characters?

[Cheez3™]

Hi, I saw the game on discount and I’m interested in buying it, but I don’t see the option of buyin Mai as DLC, how u get a single character? Do I have to buy the entire season 2 characters pass ?

You would have to overpay for fighter coin, like $12.

you have to access the store from the ingame menu

to buy one characters, will cost like 12 bucks, as you need the 2nd least amount of fighter coin bundle, they done that deliberately to get you to overspend if you just want one character

But if you keep fighting coins and wait for a sale, you should be able to grab a second discounted character.

Individual new character can be bought through ingame shop and cost 350Fighting Coins, premium currency that you have to buy and can't earn.

Those are sold in following packages:
250 Fighter Coins for $6.99.
610 Fighter Coins for $11.99.
1,250 Fighter Coins for $23.99.
2,750 Fighter Coins $49.99.

So you will have to overpay to get the character.

Buying characters like that through the shop grants you the character only with only outfit one and colours 1,2. Colours 3-10 for outfit1 can likely be bought with earnable currency, so I wouldn't worry about it - if you play regularly it won't take too long. Outfit two has to be unlocked by playing the singleplayer mode World Tour and maxing bond with that character, or you can unlock them in the shop for 50FC.

Before the summer outfits3 for Mai should be released with colours 1-10 and it will cost you 300FC on launch.

So to compare:
To just buy the character with outfit1 and two colours you will have to buy a minimum of $11.99 in FC.

Buying character pass y2 ($30) will give you Mai and outfit1 plus all the colours. [plus 3 other characters]. Outfit 3 still needs to be bought seperately on top of that when it releases if you want it.
Without the pass, to get the same content for just Mai you will have to spend $18.96 (610+250FC). With that you can buy the character (350FC), unlock outfit 2 (50FC), and outfit 3 when it releases (300FC). And have 160FC left over. You can also save 50FC on outfit2 and unlock it by playing. You will need to buy more FC to unlock colours for outfit 1, or unlock them by playing.


Ultimate pass y2 ($50) - will grant you Mai and outfits1, 2, 3 with all colours [plus 3 other characters and their respective content]. So nothing that $18.96 and a bit of grinding won't cover as far as Mai is concerned.
