[Update Apr 17] We have updated the information regarding players that had obtained multiple Familiar cards of the same type prior to the Revamp. Previously, it stated that players would receive up to 3 Familiar Cards of the duplicated Familiars, instead those players will have up to 3 of those Familiars automatically registered for them.
[Update Apr 16] We have updated and clarified some information regarding Fauxmiliar availability: While Fauxmiliars are available in both Cash Shop booster packs in non-Reboot worlds and the Familiar Shop on Reboot and non-Reboot worlds, the
[Suspicious Fauxmiliar Card] can only be acquired through the Familiar Shop, and the
[Fauxmiliar Card] can only be acquired through the Cash Shop booster packs. We have also updated the UI images based on the system's current design.
The v.213 Update comes with a massive revamp to the Familiar system, with changes to just about every single part of the system. There's a lot to cover here, but we hope you'll enjoy this system that allows every Familiar, from the mightiest dragon to the lowliest slime, to reach their full potential!
These changes will take place with the v.213 Update currently scheduled for Wednesday, April 22.
Familiar Revamp Overview
- Familiar UI has been overhauled, and the Crusader Codex UI and Monster Collection section of the Crusader Codex has been replaced by our new friend, Roro!
- Familiars no longer have static stats and level requirements. Instead, they now grow in strength alongside the player, earning EXP from defeating monsters and growing stronger.
- Familiars now use the same Rank Names as Armor and Weapons: Common, Rare, Epic, Unique and Legendary.
- Familiars can be increased in Rank, up to Unique, with Rank-Up Points earned by consuming duplicate Familiars.
- Fauxmiliars can be fused to any Familiar, for more Rank-Up Points than normal Familiars. You can purchase the [Suspicious Fauxmiliar Card] for Familiar Points in the Familiar Shop on both Reboot and non-Reboot Worlds, and you can also get the [Fauxmiliar Card] in booster packs purchased from the Cash Shop in non-Reboot worlds only.
- Additional Familiar Summoning Slots can be unlocked, allowing for 3 Familiars to be summoned at once:
- Slot 1: Unlocked by default for all characters
- Slot 2: Can be unlocked by completing a quest after collecting your first Familiar Badge
- Slot 3: Can be unlocked by completing a quest after collecting 10 Familiar Badges
- All slotted Familiars can be summoned at once with the new Summon Familiars skill.
- The Summon Familiars Skill will appear in the Beginner tab after equipping your first Familiar.
- Familiars now deal damage based on both their Attack Power and the summoning player's own damage, and all use a basic attack skill for attacking.
- The Vitality Gauge has been renamed the Summon Gauge, and now functions somewhat differently:
- When a Familiar is active, the Summon Gauge will deplete over time, even if the Familiar is not attacking.
- All Familiars share the same Summon Gauge.
- The higher the sum of the Defenses of all summoned Familiars, the slower the Summon Gauge will deplete.
- For example: With one Familiar with 50 Defense summoned, the Summon Gauge will deplete faster than with a Familiar with 50 Defense and two Familiars with 20 Defense summoned. The more Familiars, the merrier!
- When the Summon Gauge is fully depleted, all summoned Familiars will disappear.
- The Summon Gauge will refill to full at midnight UTC each day, and can also be filled with the Familiar Essence item that can be purchased from the Familiar Shop.
- Passive Skills have been removed, and Familiars will now be granted 2 Potentials depending on their Rank. These Potential bonuses have a large variety of effects, from stat boosts to bonuses for your party and more. Available Potentials are stronger for higher-ranked Familiars.
- Some Potential bonuses will cap in strength.
- All players begin with 100 Familiar Slots. Players that currently have more than 100 Familiars will be granted additional slots to give them full access to all of their Familiars, please see the "Changes to Existing Familiars" section below for more details.
- Non-Reboot worlds only: The number of Familiars owned can be increased by 5 per use of the [Familiar Slot Expansion Coupon], up to a maximum of 2,000.

- When first added, all Familiars are Lv. 1, and will gain 1 EXP when the player defeats monsters near the player's level with the Familiar summoned.
- When the Familiars gain enough EXP, they will increase in level, up to Lv. 5:
- Lv. 2: 300 EXP
- Lv. 3: 600 EXP
- Lv. 4: 1,200 EXP
- Lv. 5: 2.400 EXP
- Non-Reboot worlds only: The [Familiar Breakthrough Card], purchasable from the Cash Shop, can be consumed to increase a Unique or Legendary Familiar's level cap by 1. It can be used up to 2 times per Familiar, allowing it to reach up to Lv. 7:
- Lv. 6: 2,600 EXP
- Lv. 7: 2,800 EXP
- Leveling up a Familiar results in increased Attack Power and Defense, with higher-ranked Familiars gaining more bonuses:

- Common Familiar: 1 Rank-Up Point
- Rare Familiar: 2 Rank-Up Points
- Epic Familiar: 3 Rank-Up Points
- Unique Familiar: 4 Rank-Up Points
- Legendary Familiar: 5 Rank-Up Points
- The [Suspicious Fauxmiliar Card], purchased from the Familiar Shop for Familiar Points, creates a Suspicious Fauxmiliar that can be used as Fusion material for any Familiar, granting it 15 Rank-Up Points.
- Non-Reboot worlds only: The [Fauxmiliar Card], which can be obtained from the [Booster Pack] and [Unique Booster Pack] in the Cash Shop, can also be used as Fusion material for any Familiar, granting it 30 Rank-Up Points.
- Once a Familiar has enough Rank-Up Points, you can attempt a Rank-Up. Successfully Ranking Up will reset their level to Lv. 1 and re-roll their Potential using the new Rank for the first Potential, and the previous Rank for the second Potential.
- Non-Reboot worlds only: The [Red Familiar Card], purchased from the Cash Shop, also has a small chance to immediately Rank-Up the chosen Familiar while resetting its Potentials.
