EXP Farming

Introduction

Since the introduction of Offline Farming, this page is considered to be outdated as it was made for auto farming, kept here for archiving purposes.

EXP farming is the method of of using a small group of specific units ("decks") to clear a specific map, leaving a few slots in the squad open for other units ("leechers") to gain EXP without having to actually participate in battle and contribute to the clearance of the stage.

This is not as simple as just letting leechers into a team that can clear a map, since the possibility of the leechers getting hit must be taken into account. The maps and their respective decks must also provide an efficient leveling method, either with high EXP gained per time, higher number of leechers or low consumption of resources.

As the requirement for such leveling deck can be really specific (ranging from "having one of these units" to "having these exact units fully raised with these exact stat distribution and core link bonus, equipped with these exact equipment to ensure an exact turn order" (I'm talking about you, 5-8Ex Auto)), these methods aren't exactly ideal for newer players who have just started the game. Thus, this page will also introduce some leveling maps that offer higher EXP among those with low difficulty and require no specific setup to take on.

Selecting unit as the squad leader will grant them leader buff that increases experience gained by 20% (also apply to skill level).

High-Level Farm

NOTE: These sample builds are quite optimized, and can be done with lower level/stat/equipment.

NOTE: All units are assumed to have max skill levels.

NOTE: If any of the leechers can move before the carry, they should NOT Mark anything.
