How to play Brave Souls
Familiars
Familiars
Familiars are pets that can accompany characters on quests. They require Coins and special "Spirits" to power up and have various abilities that are triggered if the Familiar is equipped to a character during an Epic Raid.
You can see a list of the Familiars you own by tapping the Submenu button on the Home screen and then selecting Inventory. Familiars are shown in the Familiars section of the Characters tab.
About Familiars
1. Stats
Familiars have three stats: Stamina, Attack, and Spiritual Pressure. When equipped during an Epic Raid, these stats are added to the base character's stats.
2. Soul Traits
Familiars can acquire and power up Soul Traits that have various effects on Epic Raid bosses' special attack types and their effects.
3. Familiar Skills
Familiars have no skills when you first acquire them, but you can acquire skills for your Familiars by powering them up.
The effect of a Familiar skill is determined at random when the skill is acquired. You can use unique Spirits and Coins to re-roll the effect as many times as you like.
The probability of attaining a specific Familiar skill effect depends on the effect. All effects do not have the same probability.
When you re-roll the effect of a Familiar Skill, you have the option to keep the original effect or take the new one.
Note that fodder materials will still be consumed even if you choose to keep the original effect.
4. Companion Mode
Power up a Familiar to unlock Companion Mode for that Familiar. In Companion Mode, you can select a Familiar to accompany your characters during single-player and Co-Op quests. Familiars set as Companions will also appear on the Main screen.
Familiar bonuses only apply during Epic Raids. Familiars do not impart any bonuses to characters during single-player or Co-Op quests. Familiars do not attack enemies and enemy attacks have no effect on Familiars.
5. Customization
You can acquire new skins for your Familiars by powering them up, allowing you to customize their appearance.
6. Strengthening
The same as for characters, Familiars have Soul Trees that can be used to power them up.
Powering Up
Familiars' Soul Trees can be powered up using Coins and "Spirits" acquired from Epic Raids.
