==== 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.
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.
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 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.
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 short:
*Bonus for 1st/2nd place depends on the room.
*3rd place is always 0 (-5 after considering [[uma]]).
*Penalty from 4th place depends on your current rank.

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.

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.

== Currency ==
There are two major types of currency and many sub-currencies.
===Copper===
Copper is the "free-to-play" currency.
Copper 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 can be used for:
*Buying summons.
*Renaming your account.
*Creating tournaments.
*Buying coppers.
*Rerolling the shop.
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 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 gifted 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.
