* | * Your rank will be downgraded if you fall below 0 rank points. You cannot demote from Adept to Novice, and you cannot downgrade while in Novice, but all other ranks allow demotion. | ||
==== Celestial Ranking ==== | |||
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, requiring 20 points to upgrade. Losing all the points will lead to a downgrade. Unlike in the past, it is possible to downgrade to Saint III when losing all Soul Points at Celestial Lv. 1. | |||
The gain/loss of Soul Points is only determined by rank; end score does not matter. In addition, when all the players are Celestial in a single match, the soul-point changing is doubled. | |||

In summary: | |||
* The reward for placing 1st/2nd is based on the room you are playing in. The higher the room, the bigger the rewards. | |||
* The penalty for placing last is based on your rank. The higher your rank, the bigger the penalty. | |||
* Placing 3rd in 4-player, or 2nd in 3-player, nets 0 rank points (excluding final score/uma). | |||
** E.g. if you play a 4-player game, and place 3rd with 25000 points, you'll end up losing 5 rank points from the uma penalty. | |||

In short: | |||
*You ''always'' lose the entry fee. Therefore, over long periods of play, you should expect to lose copper (unless you are much better than the opponents). | |||
*You gain/lose copper for every 1000 points you gain/lose in game. | |||
*When an opponent is sent below 0 points, they lose copper as if they had 0 points exactly. The winner's copper gain is reduced proportionally. | |||

== | ===East vs South=== | ||
Ranking: | |||
* South games roughly double the "RankPts" you gain/lose from placement, not counting uma. However, any rank points from in-game score or uma are not doubled. Therefore, two 1st-place East games > one 1st-place South game. For example: | |||
** Silver Room, 1st place, 4-player East round, 30k match score: <code>(30000 - 25000)/1000 + 15 + 20</code> = 40 points/game, or 80 points for two games. | |||
** Silver Room, 1st place, 4-player South round, 35k match score: <code>(35000 - 25000)/1000 + 15 + 40</code> = 65 points/game, which is worse than 2 East round games. | |||
* Thus, if you are ''significantly'' better than the competition, playing East round games will result in a faster rank up than South round games. | |||
* However, once you reach Master 3 or higher, the 4th place penalty is relatively bigger in East than South (two last place finishes in East loses more points than one last place South). So, once you do reach that point, it's better to play South. | |||
Character Bonding: | |||
* For chest progress and bond points, it is faster to play East than South. | |||
== Characters == | |||
{{main|List of Mahjong Soul characters}} | |||
{{ | |||
Currently, there are 60 characters available, 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. | |||
A number of the characters remain in the mainline group for Mahjong Soul. These are readily available throughout the year via gacha. In addition, limited edition characters are/were temporarily available via collaborations with some anime series. | |||
=== Bond System === | === Bond System === | ||
Each character has a unique Bond Value. The value can be enhanced by gaming or gifting to unlock corresponding vocals and story plots. At the maximum affection level, all voice lines will be unlocked, and the character will read out yakus after winning a hand. Characters can be entangled to unlock new appearance as a skin that can be chosen, accompanying with 3 extra emotes. | Each character has a unique Bond Value.

When playing with a character with 5 hearts of bond, any accumulated bond points are instead used to gain gifts. For every 1000 points obtained, you gain a "bond gift". Like other blue gifts, this can given to another character for +1000 bond points, or donated for 5 star dust. Bond gifts do not count towards the daily gift limit. | |||

=== Stories === | |||
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 stages contain better rewards. | |||
Currently, there are only 4 characters with story plots: Ichihime, Miki Nikaidou, Anju Suzumiya and Joseph. | |||
=== Skins === | |||
Apart from standard and bonded skins of each character, more alternative skins can be acquired during events. In the vast majority of cases, these skins both require monetary purchase, by using Outfit Vouchers. Usually each static skin requires 880 vouchers, while animated requires 1,500, and both accompanying with one extra emote. | |||
Unidirectionally, Outfit Vouchers can be converted to Jades by ratio of 1:1. Though generally such exchange is not recommended, as purchasing Jades directly is much cheaper. Jades cannot be converted to Outfit Vouchers, neither can Jades be used to purchase skins in any means. | |||
=== Exclusive Characters === | |||
Exclusive characters are characters can be acquired only in a limited timeframe, 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. | |||
==== Collab Characters ==== | |||
Currently, there are 6 collabs: | |||
* Linovel: Collab from the light novel website [https://www.linovel.net/ ''Linovel''], including 1 character: Keikumusume. | |||
* Saki: Collab from the manga series ''Saki: the Nationals'', including 8 characters: Saki Miyanaga, Nodoka Haramura, Koromo Amae, Teru Miyanaga, Hisa Takei, Mihoko Fukuji, Ako Atarashi, Toki Onjoji | |||
* Kakegurui: Collab from the manga series ''Kakegurui XX'', including 4 characters: Yumeko Jabami, Mary Saotome, Midari Ikishima, Kirari Momobami. | |||
* Akagi: Collab from the manga series ''Akagi: The Genius Who Descended into the Darkness'', including 2 characters: Shigeru Akagi, Iwao Washizu. | |||
* Kaguya-sama: Collab from the manga series ''Kaguya-sama: Love Is War -Ultra Romantic-'', including 4 characters: Kaguya Shinomiya, Miyuki Shirogane, Ai Hayasaka, Kei Shirogane. | |||
* Code Geass: Collab from the anime series ''Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion'', including 4 characters: Lelouch Lamperouge, C.C., Suzaku Kururugi, Kallen Kouzuki. | |||
* Blue Archive: Collab from the mobile game ''Blue Archive'', including 4 characters: Shiroko, Hoshino, Mutsuki, Aru. | |||
==== Self-exclusive Characters ==== | |||
Self-exclusive characters are official characters with a lower rate to summon, as well as requiring more faiths to exchange, and can only be acquired in a limited timeframe. In exchange, the bonding stage rewards extra equipment or decorations, and their bonding skin is animated. | |||
Currently, 2 characters are officially exclusive: Kazuha Saionji, Lily Kitahara. | |||
== Currency == | |||
There are two major types of currency and many sub-currencies. | |||
===Copper=== | |||
Copper is the "free-to-play" currency. It can be used for: | |||
*Entering matches. A set amount of copper is required to enter matches, including all ranked matches past bronze room. | |||
*Buying gifts (Shop -> Misc). Gifts can be given to characters to increase bond points. Gifts can also be turned into stardust (Inventory), which can then be used to buy summon scrolls. | |||
Copper can be obtained by: | |||
*Winning matches (though note the [[#Calculation_of_Copper_Coins|entry fee]]). | |||
*Daily quests - every day, 1 quest is given. Completing the quest gives a rank-dependent amount of copper. Up to 3 quests can be accumulated at once. | |||
*Revival tokens - if you are Adept or higher, and below a certain threshold of copper, you may claim free copper once per day. | |||
*Various events and gifts by Yostar. | |||
===Jade=== | |||
Jade is the "premium" currency. Despite the mention of free jade, ''there is no way to obtain jade in-game without paying real money''. Jade is primarily used to buy summons. It can also be used to rename your account, create tournaments, rerolling the shop, or can be exchanged for a small amount of copper. | |||
Note: | |||
*"Premium jade" is the jade you buy directly with real money. ''Premium jade is not shared between platforms''. Therefore, when switching between platforms, your jade count may change. | |||
*"Free jade" is the jade obtained daily with the Fortune Charm (not including the 300 jade obtained immediately when buying the charm). Free jade persists between platforms. | |||
===Other currencies=== | |||
*Outfit vouchers are bought with real money, and can be used to buy cosmetics (character skins, backgrounds). They can be converted into jade at an inefficient rate, but jade cannot be converted back to outfit vouchers. | |||
*Gifts be given to increase a character's bond points. They can also be converted into stardust (Inventory -> Donate), which can then be converted into summon scrolls. In addition, characters will require purple gifts of certain type in order to reach their maximum bond. | |||
*Spheres can be used to buy loading screens (Shop -> Illustration), and spheres are required to reach a character's maximum bond. | |||
*Bond points are used to level up your character. (See the [[#Bond System|Bond System]] section for more details.) | |||
*Faith is obtained whenever you make a summon (1 faith : 1 summon). They function as the game's "pity" system - 150 faith can be redeemed for a character of your choice, and it can be used to buy other things as well. | |||
*Wishing stones are obtained when obtaining a duplicate character. They can also be obtained by spending faith (1 faith : 1 wishing stone). Wishing stones can be used to buy purple gifts, spheres, and are required to reach a character's maximum bond. | |||
*Star stones are obtained when obtaining a duplicate, non-character cosmetic. They can be used to buy certain cosmetics or blue gifts. | |||
