Character Status

Image1

1. Standard/Arena

Here you can switch between the standard and Arena builds for the character.

2. Affiliation

Characters have one or more Affiliations based on any groups they belong to in the Bleach universe. There are nine Affiliations: Soul Reaper, Captain, Squad Zero, Arrancar, Espada, Hollow, Human, Quincy, Stern Ritter, and No Affiliation. Please note that Affiliations may not always match Team Effects.

3. Level

The character's current level and the amount of EXP needed to reach the next level. Every time a character's level increases, their stats also increase. Characters gain EXP during quests, but you can also raise a character's EXP by using EXP Crystals.

4. Character

The current character and their rarity. The more stars a character has, the rarer and stronger he or she is.

5. Ascension Level

The character's Ascension level. Increasing a character's Ascension level raises their maximum level cap, so they can be trained further than normal. A character can be Ascended a maximum of four times.

6. Status

Characters have the following five stats:

Image2 Stamina If a character's Stamina reaches zero, they pass out and can't be used again in the same quest.
Image3 Attack This affects how much damage the character does with normal and strong attacks.
Image4 Defense Affects how much damage the character takes from enemy attacks.
Image5 Focus Affects how often the character scores a critical hit. If the critical hit percentage is 100% or higher, Focus also affects how much damage attacks inflict.
Image6 Spiritual Pressure Affects the strength of strong attacks and Special Moves.

The green numbers on the right show the effect of any Character Links or equipped Accessories.

Enemies Defeated Bonuses can be confirmed here.

Awakening a character that can make use of these bonuses will unlock all their Enemies Defeated Bonuses. No additional power-up items are required.

The attainable bonuses and the defeated enemies required to activate them are different for each character, but the greater the number required to activate the bonus, the greater the bonus.

While a character with an Enemies Defeated Bonus is the active character, all enemies eliminated by them or their teammates are counted. Different effects are triggered as the number of defeated enemies increases.

Depending on the character, there are up to four levels of each bonus. When the required number of enemies for each stage have beenis defeated, the bonus will be activated and its effects will be displayed next to the character icon in the upper-left corner of the screen.

Enemies Defeated Bonuses remain active until the quest is cleared or the player retires.

Defeated Enemies Count
The number of enemies defeated will only increase when the character that has a Defeated Enemies Bonus is the active character.

The enemies defeated count will only increase when the character with the Enemies Defeated Bonus is the one being controlled by the player during single-player quests. However, enemies defeated by other players will also be added to the count during Epic Raids and Co-Op Quests.

If there are multiple characters with Enemies Defeated Bonuses, each enemy defeated will be added to each character's separate count.
