## About Support Slots&#x20;

### Support Slot Types

Each player has 4 parameter support slots and 4 VS parameter support slots.

There are 4 types of parameter slots (Efficiency/Resilience/Luck/Proficiency) and 3 types of VS parameter slots (Toughness/Agility/Skill), each of which can be equipped with a Support Character of the same type as the slot.

### Unlocking Support Slots&#x20;

Support slots can be unlocked once a player has reached a certain level by spending $TSUBASAUT.

The cost of releasing Support Slots at each level is as follows.

* There are five rarity levels, with rarity increasing from Common to Legendary.&#x20;
  * **Common /&#x20;**<mark style="color:green;">**Uncommon**</mark>**&#x20;/&#x20;**<mark style="color:blue;">**Rare**</mark>**&#x20;/&#x20;**<mark style="color:purple;">**Epic**</mark>**&#x20;/&#x20;**<mark style="color:yellow;">**Legendary**</mark>&#x20;

Support Characters are divided into two types: Parameter type/VS Parameter type.

* Parameter type: brings effects related to Parameters.&#x20;
* VS Parameter type: brings effects related to VS Parameters.&#x20;

Support characters can be equipped to the same type of Support Slots to bring buff effects during the game. There are two types of effects: additive/multiplicative.&#x20;

### Levelling Up Support Characters

<figure><img src="https://1426723763-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FPTyhtfEtEejU2Bxz0VTK%2Fuploads%2FoxTPM3SGavHxqgHl1SBv%2Fsupport_levelup.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f40721ee-79c3-4d10-a511-5088ad9b6f60" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Support characters can be levelled up by merging three of the same type and level.&#x20;

The $TSUBASAUT cost, success rate, and other conditions vary depending on the Support Character level.

* Merging Support Characters of levels 2-6 may fail to level up, but no $TSUBASAUT is required.
* At level 7 and above, level-up is 100% successful but requires a $TSUBASAUT cost.
