Majsoul: Difference between revisions

'''Majsoul''' (aka '''Mahjong Soul''', '''Jantama''', '''Jakhon''') is a [[Japanese mahjong]] game platform developed by CATFOOD STUDIO and distributed by Yostar. The game has some resemblance to [[Janryumon]], in terms of graphics. The tile layout and graphical hands, as in "physical" hands, are displayed during game play.

The platform functions as a gacha game. Players may use in game currency to access various functions, such as items and ingame characters. On occasion, periodical events are available for special items, characters, and/or bonuses.

In Celestial, a special ranking system is applied. Players are ranked by a numerical level, as well as using a different way to calculate ranking points.

Each level starts with 10 Soul Points, and requires 20 to upgrade. Losing all the points will lead to a downgrade. The rank no longer persist forever as before; instead, players will be downgraded to Saint III if losing all the soul points in Celestial Lv. 1.

The gain or lost of Soul Points is only determined by rank, regardless of end score, listed in the following table. In addition, when all the players are Celestial in a single match, the soul-point changing is doubled.

Currently there are 60 characters in game, including 41 females and 19 males. Every new user is granted access to Ichihime and Miki Nikaidou. Additional characters must be summoned via the gacha system, with Jade as currency or with the Summon Scroll item. Jade can only be acquired via monetary purchase, while Summon Scrolls may be obtained via events, system mail as gifts, or purchase in the item shop.

** Extra bond-value enhancement is applied according to the charge amount. (See [[Majsoul#Charge-related Titles|Charge-related Titles]] section)

** An enhancement of 50% extra bond-values is applied, if the gift type matches character's interest <ref group="note">However this is not always reliable, and sometimes it's misleading. Interests of some characters can match more than one type of gifts (e.g. Natsuki Shinomiya), while some of them can't match any at all (e.g. Hideki Akechi).</ref>.

If playing with a max-bond character, the bond values will be tracked such that every 1000 points grants a "bond gift". Similarly to other blue gifts, this can be given to another character to increase 1000 points of bond value, and also can be donated for 5 dusts.

Gifts can be given to a character to increase your bond with that character (see [[Majsoul#Bond System|Bond System]] section), or turned into star dusts if they can be donated.  50 star dusts can be used at the lucky cat to attempt getting larger rewards, including a new character.

Stories are character-exclusive contents provided freely to players who owned the corresponding character.  Stories can be accessed in each character's info page in dormitory.  The former 3 bonding stages contain <span title="text walls">novel-like descriptive contents</span>.  The latter 3 stages provide interactive contents, with multiple branches and different rewards correspondingly. Higher stage contains better rewards.

Currently there're only 4 characters having story plots: Ichihime, Miki Nikaidou, Anju Suzumiya and Joseph.

Exclusive characters are characters can be acquired only in a limited time, usually during an event. Regular character pools do not contain them after the acquisition period.  Usually those characters are from animation / manga series, or collaborators.  A few of them are official characters but with rarity settings.

Currently there're 5 collabs:

Self-exclusive characters are official characters with a lower rate to summon, as well as requiring more faiths to exchange, and meanwhile, can also only be acquired in a limited time.  In exchange, the bonding stage rewards extra equipment or decorations, and their bonding skin is animated.

Currently 2 character are officially exclusive: Kazuha Saionji, Lily Kitahara.

There're two different scoring mechanics ingame, by default Tsumo-Loss is applied in Ranked Matches, while North-Bisection is provided as an alternative option in Friendly Matches.
