About This Dislyte Beginer’s Guide
If you’re here, you’re probably looking for answers when you first start playing Dislyte.
I’m Brahms, and you can basically consider this as in-depth of a resource as possible about Dislyte for new players. From explaining mechanics to breaking down bosses, team structures, and why certain Espers work, you’ll hopefully find everything here short of a definitive tier listing. A good portion of this information is contained within the game itself, but a lot of it is hidden or put out of the way, and so I thought to bring it all to light.
This guide will not be covering the topics of “Is x Esper good/bad”, “who is better x or y”, “should I use a or b” or “what should I build on y”. Instead, you can check out our Tier List, ask in public chat for popular builds, or view the information in game associated with each Esper.
This guide assumes you have basic knowledge on game mechanics and gacha systems, but if there’s anything else you think could be useful to add, please don’t hesitate to let me know! You can message me any questions on Discord at Dudeogama#0122. Please note that if you just ask about builds or Espers in general, I will likely refer you to this document or the tier lists.
Also, I’ll totally plug here: You can find me on any socials under the handle @dudeogama, and catch me on Twitch at https://twitch.tv/brahmsogama!
Anyway, without further ado, here’s the Dislyte beginner’s guide. You’ll find that everything can be navigated using the tables of contents, so I highly recommend you go through that to find the exact place you need to go.
The guide is updated up to the May 13, 2022 patch (version 3.0.0). Happy release, Espers!
Beginner’s Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any codes for free items?
Yes, please check out our Dislyte Codes section for the latest working codes and to see how to activate them.
Where are my preregistration rewards? I logged in and don’t see anything!
The pre-registration awards are given out under the “Events” tab, called Union Parade.
The event gives you 2 Gold Records (as well as other various rewards) every day for 5 days, for a grand total of 10x Gold Records!
To see this event in your Events Tab, you must get to Account Level 5.
When do I unlock features?
Note that I will not be including rewards for clearing each chapter specifically, those are easily viewed by clicking the Rewards button on said story chapter.
Promoting Espers raises their ★ level, which in turn also raises their level cap. An Esper’s level cap is equal to their ★ level multiplied by 10 (2★ has a cap of 20, for example). Higher levels means more base stats (HP, ATK, and DEF), so you definitely should promote the Espers that you use to make them as strong as possible!
Promoting an Esper
How do I promote Espers?
To promote Espers, they must be fed an amount of other Espers (often called food/fodder) that share the same ★ level as they do, equal to their ★ level.
2★ Espers must be fed 2 other 2★ Espers
3★ Espers must be fed 3 other 3★ Espers
4★ Espers must be fed 4 other 4★ Espers
5★ Espers must be fed 5 other 5★ Espers
An Esper can only be promoted when they are at the current maximum level. The maximum promotion level is 6★, making the maximum level 60.
What should I use as food/fodder?
Generally, you have two options for food/fodder. The first option is to use Starimon, as they have no use outside of being food/fodder.
The other option is to raise Uncommon 2★ Espers, if you still have access to them. Previously, they were summoned via Silver Records, but as those are no longer obtainable, any 2★ Espers or Silver Records you currently have are the only ways to get them now.
No matter which type of food/fodder you choose, the first step is to level them up (generally through combat, though you can also use Experimon), and then when they are at maximum level, promote them. This would give you a level 20, Uncommon 3★ Esper to be used as food/fodder. If you need 4★ or 5★ food, you continue to raise the Uncommon Esper up to the appropriate ★ level that you need.
How do I level up Espers efficiently?
The most EXP you can get from a stage is from the Practice Stages (#-UP) in Story mode. While these stages offer little other rewards, they also drop Experimon, which further add to the EXP gained.
To accomplish this, one of the best ways to accomplish this is to have one max level Esper (or two, in harder stages of Purgatory difficulty) accompany the food and be able to clear the highest UP Stage solo. This is because this will level multiple units at once, and the max level Esper(s) also distribute half their EXP (see: EXP Distribution).
The most accessible and effective Esper for this early on is Mona[Artemis]. The game gives you a Hades Set after clearing Chapter 9, which you should equip on her, along with a Sword Avatara two-piece set. In doing so, she’s capable of soloing a good amount of UP Stages as long as she’s levelled, and replacing the pieces for stronger ones will let her continue to keep climbing. You can bring your Mona[Artemis] at max level with 4 food/fodder to farm these stages for experience (also known as “Dog-walking”).
There are other Espers who can also achieve the same goal; Li Ling[Nezha], Tang Xuan[Sun Wukon], Donar[Thor], Ren Si[Black Tortoise], and Falken[Horus] are examples of Espers who, with a Hades and Sword Avatara Relic set, can clear UP Stages by themselves, thus allowing you to bring multiple food/fodder.
Alternate EXP Options
Even though UP Stages have the most EXP available per stamina point, the lack of any other rewards means that other avenues might also be more “efficient”.
Though difficult in a different kind of way, it is possible to bring in 1 food/fodder into other areas of the game that are farmed, in order to gain both EXP (albeit at a much lower rate) as well as required items, such as Waves from the Sonic Miracle, or Relics from Ritual Miracle. Even Ripple Dimensions provide experience, and in some cases can provide more EXP/Stamina than a UP Stage might offer.
Should I Resonate Espers?
As of patch 2.1.1,Resonating Espers is different from Star Promotion now. Previously, you could promote an Esper and gain Resonance points as well if you used the same Esper as materials for said Promotion. Now, Resonance gives you a free Starimon of that same rank, which now means you can safely resonate, but use that Starimon to Promote a different Esper.
Resonance is performed by clicking the Resonance tab on the Growth portion of the Esper Menu.
Here, you sacrifice duplicates of the Esper, to give the base one Resonance points, which are spent to raise HP, ATK, or DEF by 1% per point. How many points you get per Esper sacrificed is based on the rarity of the esper:
5★ Espers get 6 points per Resonance.
4★ Espers get 5 points per Resonance.
3★ Espers get 4 points per Resonance.
2★ Espers get 3 points per Resonance.
If you aren’t sure where to spend your Resonance Points, you can click the Popularity option at the top right to see the distribution of how all players have distributed their points for that Esper!
What is Ascension? Is it important?
Ascension is another way to power up your Espers. Not only does it provide bonuses to their stats, but at Ascension Level 3, every Esper gains a bonus addition to their kit. This might be a boost to a passive, or an extra effect on an ability! In various Tier Lists and comparisons, Ascension is almost always factored into the usefulness of an Esper. It might be better to say that without Ascending, and Esper just isn’t wholly complete. You should, at the very least, Ascend the Espers that you use up to at least level 3, though the stat boosts past level 3 far, far exceed that of the previous levels.
The ingredients for Ascension are called Elemental Waves, and are farmed in the Sonic Miracle from their respective bosses. Not every boss is up every day (except for Saturdays), so you will need to farm as they become available. Infernis and Windstriker are up on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Flowrunner and Shimmerer are up on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. All Sonic Miracle Bosses are available on Saturday.
Ascension is unlocked at Account Level 15, alongside the Sonic Miracle.
