This guide assumes you have read my New Player Guide. In a way, this achievement guide is just a supplement to the New Player Guide since most of the achievements are related to the story, and I set up a streamline team composition and progression style that should make most of the game easy assuming you are willing to master the gameplay mechanics. If you have not read the guide, you can always just reference the sections that you care about such as how to defeat Rakuzakai for the A Toast to Those Cuttle-ly Eyes achievement, but the new player guide itself should streamline your experience towards getting through the story and setting up yourself for 100% achievements.

This guide will mainly focus on the last two achievements (Rising Power and High Tension Boy) and how to tackle them efficiently. You are likely to get these achievements after the end of the story or as you get near the end of the story. This guide assumes you do not care much about the endgame aside from getting these two achievements.

It helps to have your level cap at 60 since your characters are stronger and farming materials have bigger yields through Rifts, but the last two achievements are still doable so as long as you have finished the story.

If you follow the New Player Guide and are just gunning for 100% achievements, it can honestly take a week, perhaps 40-70 hours in gameplay time -- maybe even less if you skip the cutscenes. It might take double if you are doing other things: truly grinding the endgame, trying out the guest characters, doing all of the city challenges, etc.

Clicking on a given material should know you the source of the material, whether it be an enemy, Rifts, etc. This is not always accurate especially if the needed material is of a high quality, so sometimes, you have to check the its prerequisite material (or the prerequisite materials of the prerequisite materials) that would craft into the material you would want and see the source of those lower quality materials.

You will have to rank up 3 of your characters to Rank Ex. It goes without saying that you should be only be ranking up 3 characters to save time and that these 3 characters should be your main team for tackling the Fractal Vice. (If you read my New Player Guide, I even give a suggestion for what team you should reroll for if you just started the game.)

The resource for entering Rifts is unlimited so as long as your farm enemies on the map. Here is a good location for booster farming for your current level in the endgame:
So as long as there are a collection of enemies near a Respite Unit, that can be a good Booster farming spot especially if the enemies also drop materials that you need for ranking up your characters or unlocking the level cap for your tension cards.

For the boss materials, it is a matter of having a consistent farming strategy for decimating the boss related to your needed boss materials. (Boss guides are referenced in my New Player Guide.)

You can also reference Kaiden[www.kaiden.gg] for how many total materials you need for a given character. For instance, this is how much you need for Iroha:

You will need to level 5 tension cards to level 50. This one takes the most amount of time since it requires that you engage with Fractal Vice, the endgame.

Each chest and enemy in Fractal Vice drops 1 Polyhedral Codex I . This material is needed to unlock the final level cap of a given tension card.

You will have to farm chests and enemies Fractal Vice for the final level caps on Tension Cards. If you have a strong team, you can just delete enemies in a chain and open chests along the way. Nonetheless, you can even restart from the beginning and not explore deep if you opt for farming the same early enemies.

30 Polyhedral Codex I craft into 1 Polyhedral Codex II, and 10 Polyhedral Codex II craft into 1 Polyhedral Codex III. Tension cards will need additional materials aside from the codex, but the codex will be the limiting factor since the other materials are more plentiful in comparison:

• A 1 star card requires 1 Polyhedral Codex II
  
• A 2 star card requires 1 Polyhedral Codex III
  
• A 3 star card requires 3 Polyhedral Codex III

It goes without saying that leveling up five 1 star tension cards is the fastest approach. It will only mean that you have to kill 150 enemies and/or open 150 chests within Fractal Vice. If you already have five 1 star tension cards that you are already using, you can choose to level them up. Otherwise, here are my suggestions

1 star tension cards that I recommend in terms of power and utility:

Excuse

It is a good control card.

Maximization

Another good control card.

Forerunner

Attack buff when you counterattack successfully

Fighting Scene

Attack buff when your strategy skill hits

Fighting Scene

Attack buff when you primary attack from range hits

Stimulation

Buffs healing

Ejection

Grants shields. Shields helps with survival, but it can also enable other cards to activate if the conditions require a shield.

Ferocity

This card gives you a free revive. If you have mastered the gameplay mechanics and do not find yourself dying, you won't need it, but it is a unique effect. At worst, it is a critical damage buff.

Strike Zone

It is not worthwhile to actually level, but assuming you are using the free Full Party tension card, you are probably using this at all times as opposed to some of the other 1 star tension cards above. Might as well level it up. If you decide to do so, this should be the last one to level up.

You can also refer to Kaiden[www.kaiden.gg] for other suggestions.

For the other materials needed to unlock the last level cap, you can always use Rifts and farm the bosses.


You will also need drops from these enemies. If you are in the endgame, you should be able to also farm these enemies while they are in Neo Chiyoda City, but if you are struggling, you can farm them as Ferocious Enemies (essentially roaming bosses) in the previous cities. They will be of a lower level, though if you have not unlocked all of the Respite Units and Rifts in a given city, you won't know where they are based on your map.
