Recommendation on which characters to spend gems on.

About Action Taimanin Characters

Attaining characters is very feasible as a free-to-play player. The most expensive characters are 1200 gems, which players can farm within a few of months, depending on their level of activity.

It's also much easier to farm gems at the start of a new account, because of all the unclaimed gems available via the main mission and achievements. This easy initial stream of gems can bootstrap you into getting a couple of new characters, besides your starting one, within your first month of gameplay.

Each character you buy adds +5 to your maximum AP.
But this doesn't mean you should rush to buy every single character for more AP. It's more advisable to focus on building up a handful of characters that you'll run in Arena PVP, Arena Tower, and Daily/Event quests.

That said, not all characters are equally good right now. I value characters who are great on their own and can work as long as they have a combination of supporter types to enable ability enhancements. If you need specific supporters or weapons to make a character work, then they are weak. Period. This is a gacha game, with limited content events. Relying on specific game drops to make a character viable is either expensive or unrealistic. No in-between. So here are some suggestions on which characters to get.

Purchase Priority

After the update that added enchantments and awakening abilities, all characters should be able to handle normal PVE content (Daily Quest, Main Quests, Events).
What really sets characters apart is their ability to handle endgame PVE content and the PVP arena with minimal investment. By investment, I mean things like decently enchanted UR weapons and supporters.

Priority characters: Get them if you haven't already

• Murasaki
  
• Shiranui
  
• Emily

Minimal investment characters: They're great almost as soon as you get them. Highly recommended for F2P players

• Felicia
  
• Yukikaze
  
• Kurenai

Moderate investment characters: Requires some investment to make up for their shortcomings, but are otherwise solid

• Asagi
  
• Sakura
  
• Su
  
• Ingrid
  
• Astaroth
  
• Shizuru
  
• Maika
  
• Rin

High investment to become decent: They have the potential to become powerful with enough whaling.

• Asuka
  
• Oboro
  
• Kirara

High investment to become tenable: They're bad at hard content by default but can be forced to be playable via whaling.

• Tokiko
  
• Noah
  
• Rinko
