Fiery Baptism: training, awakening and military ranks
In the “Fiery Baptism” event, you can increase your military rank and receive hero Awakening Crystals. This guide breaks down the free rewards and six purchase options.
How the training goes
Press the training button and wait for the animation to finish. You cannot control the shooting; there are no special techniques here. After the first five training sessions, the ×10 training and animation skip are unlocked.
The military rank of any hero can be increased. The stat bonuses apply as soon as you own the rank, regardless of which hero you promote.
At the time of preparing the guide, awakening was available for Ice Diamond Princess and Coastal Ace. The first crystal unlocks the awakening skill and resonance skill; six crystals are enough to fully awaken one hero.
Without cash purchases: 103 training sessions
In seven days, you can collect training stamina from the following sources:
