Tears of Themis Beginners Guide: Tips and Tricks

The main stories in the form of episodes are the biggest attractions when it comes to Tears of Themis alongside the husbandos.

2. Know how to replenish AP
It is highly recommended that players choose to get energy drinks when they require their AP to be replenished. The other option to replenish AP involves using the S-chips, which is not recommended. The deal of getting stamina is much better with energy drinks than with S-chips.
A small energy drink gives the user 30 APs, and a large energy drink gives the user 60 APs. On the other hand, 20 precious crystals give players 60 stamina. Use the S-chips by converting them to Tears of Themis to get Visions. Also, refrain from stacking up too much AP as it prevents additional AP from being regenerated when users are playing.
3. Do not forget to claim free rewards
There are Server Launch Rewards available for all players in the Mailbox. The players are encouraged to not shy away from rewards like 10 Tears of Themis, 200 S-chips, and many more rewards as part of reaching the 500,000 pre-registration members milestone.

It is of the utmost importance that players remember that blue counters are red, red counters are green and green counters are blue. Players should also get at least 1 card from each color to put in their deck for more balance.

7. Level up your weaker cards
Do not neglect your weaker R cards after getting SSR and SR cards. While facing off against opponents comparatively weaker, it is recommended that players bring in cards that have not been maxed out to their full level yet.
