How do I obtain more characters?

Apart from characters you’ll receive after completing certain chapters in the story, you will want to spend 50 Ether stones on multi-pulls for Premium Gachas.

Characters in Live A Hero are divided into two categories, namely Heroes and Sidekick, Heroes are the character you use in battle while sidekicks are their partner that act like an equipment i.e.: providing stats boost and skills to the hero.

You can get both heroes and sidekicks from the Premium Gacha

Premium Gachas are mainly based on the current event.

Ether Stones (Premium Event Gacha/Premium Standard Gacha)

5 Ether Stone for Single Pull, 50 Ether Stone for Multi-Pull

Bare to mind to do multi-pulls if you want to obtain a guaranteed ☆4 or ☆5 on the 10th pull.

It’s also recommended to pull mainly from the Event Gachas since they usually include drops from the Premium Standard Gacha anyway.

Here are some ways to earn more free stones:

Friend Points (Friend Points Gacha)

1000 points for 10-Pull only

Give a variety of items such as: Exp Item, Lah (Coin), Bronze Sales Bounce Ticket

The grand prize in Friend Gacha is a player sidekick dupe @playerNameの心.

Ether Tickets

Ether Ticket are rare tickets that allow for a single pull (can’t do multi-pulls sadly with these tickets) on any Premium Gacha.

Friend Code/Friend

Despite the game being relatively new there are a lot of players who has max leveled unit (level 60) and if you’re lucky enough to be accepted as friend by them, you will now have a Support that can carry your party all on their own for most of the quests, and the best part of this is that friend supports characters cost nothing to borrow in fact it gives friend point to you and your friend.

To gain friends quickly, you will want to share your friend code, which is a 9-digit code (found in the Friends section of the game), in various places. A good place for now is LAH community discord.

About Characters Rarity

Each hero has two different portrait, with the first unlocked from the beginning and the second unlocked at 5 star rarity (for natural 5 star heroes the two portraits are unlocked from the beginning)

Sidekicks has different system than heroes, with a 3 star rating to 4 star rating, and no possible way to upgrade rarity.

Keeping Your Account Safe

It is recommended to follow these steps to make it easier to recover your account in case you lose access to it.

Backing up your user key

userKey is the file that keeps your account data. If you lose access to the device where you play the game you can simply install the game on another device and copy the userKey to the game folder.

This means that making a copy of your userKey and keeping it somewhere safe is highly recommended.

you can find userKey on Android devices under /SD/Android/data/jp.co.lifewonders.liveahero/files/Data/.

Player ID

From the main menu, select “Friends” and then “Search for Friends”.

On the lower part of the screen you will find your Player ID. Noting this number down is recommended, as it is something Lifewonders will ask you if you have to contact their support to recover your account.

How to Back-up Your Data

To create a transfer code data, simply start up the game, go past the title screen, and go to Options(オプション) on main menu.

Then hit Transfer Account (アカウント引継ぎ) at the second option from the top, Enter a password into both boxes of your choosing and hit the blue bottom right-most button.

Write down the Code it gives you AND the password you used.

When you’re ready or need to use it, start up the game. At the Title Screen, hit the bottom left button (Account Transfer/アカウント引継ぎ).

Enter the Code in the top box, and your custom password you made in the bottom box. Then hit the blue button.

NOTE: When you transfer your account to another device using this code, a new userKey will be created in this device and your account will be bound to this new userKey, while the previous userKey will be bound to a new account. So remember to backup this new userKey after transferring your data, as the previous userKey will be rendered useless.

Tips

If your team happens to die during a quest, do NOT use a stone to revive your party unless you’re absolutely desperate. You can just leave the battle and the stamina will be refunded.
