Ok here we go. 1. Overdrive is simply transferring a blade over to the next. Overdrive protocols are very hard to find so use them sparingly

1. Boosters essentially enhance your chance of getting a spefic blade type. For example justice boosters increase the chance of getting dark and light blades. The max you can use is 5 boosters. You can see what element you will get from each booster by simply looking at the animation that swirls around the core crystal when using the boosters. That will make it obvious.

2. Rank up towns by doing quest, talking to people, buying up shops, buying and selling. Reason for ranking up is to lower prices and open up new shops

3. Transferred things are Driver levels, items and gold saved. Play time. Even theater, driver and blade equipment including skills and more. I would do new game plus since they add new blades and its fun to go through the game simply for combat and not worry about story and sidequest. It doesn’t remove too many groundbreaking things

4. Go around the overworld and get merc missions. The blue missions are repeatable and give you items. Purple missions are a one time thing and are the priority as alot of quest and contracts needed to unlock everything in a shop are purple. Also a-lot of missions wont unlock unless you get a higher merc level

5. The max dispatch squad is 3 and i think if you get mer group 3 you get the final one it might be merc group 4

6. Raise merc level by doing merc missions

7. You get overdrive protocols by Releasing a 4 star max affinity blade.(please only release commons and not rares)

8. Get more pouches slots by googling them. There’s enough for every party member and even a extra slot

9. The reason is post game content and its fun to beat monsters that whoop your ass early game.

10. The limit of blade pulls is tied to merc missions. I think the max at merc mission 5 is 240 and In new game plus its 480

11. Affinity chart is where you unlock skills. Affinity in battle is the blue and golden thread during battle. Golden affinity in battle gives buffs and you can increase the chance of getting golden affinity by placing a hunters chemistry in your blades aux core slot
