Fire Emblem Shadows can be a little bit confusing at first, but as players develop new abilities, participate in Battles, and unlock more Disciples, they will get the hang of it. In all those cases, players will also need Crystals to improve their Disciples' power level, and getting more of these precious materials can be a pain if you don't know where to look.
So, if players want to unlock the full potential of every character in the game, they will need an increasing amount of these green jewels to support their adventure and progress through the story. This guide will reveal all the methods for players to farm Crystals, so that they can reach the maximum level with every Disciple, and boost their abilities with ease.
How To Farm Crystals in Fire Emblem Shadows
Crystals are a type of currency represented by a green rhomboid icon that appears in the upper-right corner of the screen. These are used to increase the Disciples' levels, so that they can unlock more powerful weapons, spells, and increase their overall stats. There are basically five different methods to obtain Crystals in Fire Emblem Shadows:
- Random drop rewards after Battles.
- Completing Story Book Pages.
- Completing Battle Pass Levels.
- Receiving Rapport Rewards (increased by Battling using Disciples).
- Ranking Up with Disciples.
Random drops from Battle are the only infinite source of Crystals, since the rest of the sources will deplete at some point. When reaching maximum Rapport or Ranking levels, players won't receive Crystals anymore. The same will happen when they complete the Battle Pass or the Story Pages (on both Shadow and Light sides).
So, what is the best way to obtain more Crystals then? By battling either for the Light or the Shadow sides. By completing certain Battle Challenges (like discovering the Traitor, or eliminating more enemies in combat), players will receive extra rewards, and these extra rewards have a slight chance of being Crystals that they can use to increase the power levels of their disciples.
Players might also receive occasional 'gifts' from the developers that contain Crystals, or there might be new sources of this currency in the near future. We will keep this guide updated with the new methods to obtain them as they are implemented in the game.
