Characters of Date A Live:

Shido Itsuka: Adopted into the Itsuka family household at a very young age, Shido has been living a fairly average normal life until recently. At the start of his new high school year as a 2nd-year student, he accidentally stumbles into a new world unknown to him or to the public. Discovering the real reason behind the Spacequakes and the conflict between the AST and the Spirits; forcefully or voluntarily, Shido was brought into the secret organization known as Ratatoskr that his little sister commands. With the only explanation from her being that only he can save the Spirits by dating them, Shido reluctantly joins due to his nature to help and save people in need. Going about with his normal life and rescuing Spirits is one thing, but with each new encounter and new Spirits to save, there is always some type of new hardship on Shido's mental health since he lacks experience dealing with the opposite gender. In his quest to make the Spirits fall in love, he comes to learn how their history is inextricably tied to his own, leading him into a conflict with Deus Ex Machina Industries, led by the evil Isaac Westcott.

Tohka Yatogami: When Tohka first appeared on Earth, on the 10th of April, she came under attack by the AST. That was also the same day Shido encountered Tohka and later discovered the real reason behind the Spacequake incidents. The next time Tohka encountered Shido, she was again under attack by the AST. During Tohka and Shido's short conversation on their second encounter, Shido gave Tohka her name. During their third meeting in which they went out on a date, Tohka and Shido established a bond, as the boy explained to the Spirit that not all humans were out to kill her like the AST. It was during this time after their date got interrupted by the AST that Tohka had her powers sealed by kissing Shido for the first time.After her powers had been sealed, Tohka's mental state was still unstable and could go off at any moment, mainly due to her emotions which she didn't understand or know how to handle. But, thanks to some consultation from Reine and some reassuring words from Shido, Tohka was able to better control her feelings of jealousy regarding Shido. After being sealed, Tohka started attending the same school, grade, and class as Shido thanks to the help of Ratatoskr. She made friends while at school, but at the same time, she still sees Origami as an enemy (in many ways), who was also at the same school and classroom as Shido and her. Tohka is currently living in an apartment complex made by Ratatoskr for Spirits beside the Itsuka residence where Shido lives.

Mio Takamiya: The First Spirit was the first Spirit to ever make an appearance on Earth. 30 years before the beginning of the events in Date A Live, she was summoned into the world by Sir Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, Ellen Mira Mathers, and Elliot Baldwin Woodman through the Spirit Formula gathering all the world's mana into a single point. However, her birth also caused the first Spacequake in history at some point on the frontier between China and Mongolia, killing over 150 million people and starting a chain of similar disasters around the world that would last approximately six months.For much of the series, Kurumi Tokisaki has been chasing after Nia Honjo because of the information she has about the First Spirit. When the two finally crossed paths during Nia Creation, Kurumi requested information about when the First Spirit appeared, why she appeared, and the extent of her powers, which Nia provided by using her Angel, Rasiel.

Miku Izayoi: Miku is a Spirit and an idol. She hates men to the point that Shido even had to cross-dress in order to interact with her. Her Angel Gabriel has the ability to manipulate and brainwash people through her voice. She took an interest in the undercover Shido because he wasn't affected by her hypnotic powers and challenged him to a contest in which that if he lost, he would have to transfer to Rindouji. The challenge was to determine who would earn the title of being the best school. There was a singing contest which was later won by Miku, but the title of best school was won by Raizen High School thanks to its maid café.Being defeated by Shido at her own game, she initially rampaged, using her powers to break the rules and simply take what she wanted, despite her being the one to first issue the challenge (and despite her frequently cheating to win). During the course of this, she took control of the other Spirits, discovered Shido's true gender, and tried to have the entire city to kill him. However, after Shido and Kurumi muscled their way to her and asked her to stay out of their way while they rescued Tohka from DEM, she took an interest in Shido (she had initially believed no man would ever save anyone for any selfless reasons) and asked his friends what their relationship was.Miku then appeared to help Shido and battled with him against DEM. However, she claimed that her only intent was to add Tohka to her collection of Spirits. She repeatedly tries to prove that Shido is selfish, and adherent to her view of all men, by trying to offer him all the girls he wants if he gives in to his fatigue and gives up his rescue of Tohka. She's further shocked when he refuses and eventually is even visibly shocked when Ellen nearly kills Shido. It becomes evident that Miku can't give up her powers because that would mean she's returning to her human past. Miku is secretly scared of humanity, which causes the psychological trauma that makes her unable to sing in front of people. She finally changed her mind when Shido upheld his earlier promise to protect her and shield her from Inverse Tohka's power. She is also moved, although initially shaken, when Shido promises her that even if the entire world turns against her, he alone will remain her fan.After this, Miku decided to let Shido seal her Reiryoku and move on with her life, even appearing openly in public as an idol. She has shown great love and affection towards Shido and constantly calls him "darling."

You’ll also be able to net a good variety of items that can be for enhancing, and fragments of many characters.Once you’ve reached a point where the story is getting too difficult, check out the various event and daily stages. EXP, Gold, Potential, and Sephira stages are available daily and are a great way to upgrade your Spirits. Here’s a rundown of each stage and why you would want to run them.EXP Stages are great if you want to quickly upgrade your spirits, the higher difficulty you go, the more EXP items you can get. Characters take quite a bit of EXP to level up, so it’s always a good idea to stockpile EXP items even if your favorites are maxed out, to prepare for the newer characters.Gold Stages can net you a ton of Gold which is needed for almost every upgrade. Since you earn gold from a lot of story missions, collection rewards, and dailies, it’s best you tackle these stages when you have just run out of money.Sephira Stages are great collecting materials to level up your Sephiras, which can greatly boost the stats of your Spirits! It’s a good idea to run these stages after you’ve collected Sephiras you’ll be using, as it doesn’t take too many Gurus to max out a Sephira.Potential Stages will net you Battlelogs, allowing you to transcend your character. You are always guaranteed the basic Battlelogs but elemental Battlelogs will be given at random. You can trade in basic chests for an elemental choice chest in the shop, and higher difficulty potential stages will net you more Battlelogs, so aim for the hardest stage you can complete!You may have seen some of these stages have bonus reward chances. Date A Live has rotation bonuses and rewards for daily stages. Check the in-game schedule for when the bonus rewards will come for which stage, and consider running those stages at least once to cash in on the bonus reward.

Use Social Features To Get An Edge: Bringing friends, or making friends in Date A Live can make stages easier! Having friends allows you to pick them as support characters in stages, helping you get past an extra-hard story stage, or that little boost you need to complete the harder daily stages, and maximize your grinding while netting your friend points.Once you’ve hit level 30, you’ll also be able to unlock Clubs which make it easier for you to host sessions with friends in Date A Live’s boss modes, team up with friends, or make new ones through fun life-or-death battles!

Since these are different currencies, you won’t need to save up your Fate Badges for upcoming events in Date A Live.Regardless of what you get from your rolls, you can turn your summon pulls into rewards at the Destiny of Time, and Echoes of Fate stores. These shops will allow you to convert your roll results into a plethora of rewards, such as gems, Sephiras, and upgrade materials. You can even turn these into fragments for Kurumi Tokisaki, or Kotori Itsuka, giving you a guaranteed way to get 5-star characters!Many of the items in the shop will refresh at the end of the month, so make sure to grab the ones you want the most by the end of the month, so you can get more of them the day after!
