Trickcal is a pretty casual game, only worry about these systems if you want to min-max, get more rewards on competitive game modes or be able to push content under heavy combat power differences.

That said, let’s talk about combat power and how to make your Apostles stronger. If you prefer the video version, you can check it here:

Apostle combat power sources

There are two main things to worry about when it comes to making your Apostle stronger, skill levels and dupes.

• Skills give a huge chunk of combat power, and while it’s expensive, it’s worth doing for the characters you will use long term
• Dupes don’t give that much combat power, but the extra stats and levels will add up as you get more units to 5-stars

Global Apostle systems

The other two sources related to your Apostles that are more important because they provide global stats to everyone on your account, Crayon boards and Gear.

• As explained on our board guide, any node that costs Epic Pastel Epic Pastel Description Crayons used to unlock character board nodes, making your Apostles stronger. or Ultra Pastel Ultra Pastel Description Crayons used to unlock character board nodes, making your Apostles stronger. crayons will give stats to everyone in your account, not only that Apostle
• On a similar fashion, anytime you rank up gear on an Apostle, it will give a small boost to everyone in your account, which you can see by clicking on “Total Rank Effect”

It’s also important to mention, but both these systems give a lot of combat power to your characters, making them the main focus of progression long term for players.

When it comes to gear and when you should enhance it, feel free to check our full guide here.

Master’s Order

Only three systems are worth mentioning here that will impact combat power for your Apostles: A-Club, Fab Lab and the Banquet Hall.

• A-Club allows you to send Apostles on dispatch missions to get resources you can use in Fab Lab, where you can progress to get flat stats and new passives. Really slow system but important long term, don’t forget about it.
• Banquet Hall is a simple system to feed your Apostles daily, and when they level up they will get a small stat boost, which is nice. At level 20 you also get a “favorite item” to display on your profile.

Account level

Lastly, your account level is directly tied to how much you can level up your Apostles.

The only way to level up is by spending both Candy Candy Description Basic stamina used for campaign stages and events. and Star Candy Star Candy Description Basic stamina used for resource stages. (1 stamina spent = 1 exp iirc) and it’s a system you will passively improve as you play every day.
