Upgrading characters to reach their maximum potential can be a long and tedious process. Thankfully, the content does not require you to have the maximum number of invested characters.
It is generally recommended to follow this pattern for most characters based on how impactful the change will be to their performance:
# Level Up to Max Lv. Bronze
# Rank Up to Silver
# Once on Silver Rank, generally Level Up to Lv. 50
# Skill Upgrade Lv. 4

NOTE: Silver rank calculations start at Silver Rank Level 1
These tables compute the average time required to grind the materials necessary for max investment for level, rank, and Skills through normal means of quest grinding.
Ranked-up characters get new art, sprite art, access to more skill upgrades, and a new level curve. Old stats are retained.
Ranking up will reset the character's level back to 1 while retaining their current stats and allowing them to level up and be upgraded further. This also allows them to level their skills up to 7. This is done by maxing out their level and spending the needed Draco and items to increase their rank.
There are three ranks: Bronze, which is where all regular characters start; Silver, which rarities 3★ and above can rank up to and is where all alternate characters start; and Gold, which is currently locked.
It is important to note that the growth of characters differs a lot, with some benefiting greatly through access to better stats while others solely rely on access to higher skill levels.
In addition to stats, Silver rank unlocks the character's splash art, as well as gives them new sprite art.
Note: Some characters may not have a rank up yet. For more info, refer to Rank Up Release History
The required items for rank-up have a standard set of requirements depending on their class and rarity. Each class has its own upgrade material item, and a secondary material, a much harder-to-get item, is shared between the two of them. The expense of ranking up characters also increases depending on their rarity.
Upgrading skills improves the strength of skills through higher multipliers, improves their uptime through higher durations, lower SP costs, and higher starting SP, and potentially adds an additional effect, which may include more range or more buffs/debuffs. Skills are upgraded using skill manuals and class upgrade materials. The requirements are standard according to class and rarity. And the expense increases according to their rarity.
If upgrading the skill does not show any description changes, the upgrade is likely reflected on either it's starting sp and/or sp cost.
Characters starting at Bronze Rank can upgrade up to level 3, and rank up is required to upgrade up to level 7.
Increasing Intimacy unlocks small stat bonuses through certain thresholds: 30%, 50%, and 100%. These require gifting characters gifts within the interaction menu.
Proficiencies are small stat bonuses gained through expending Draco and character duplicates.
Increasing Proficiency provides small independent stat bonuses, which are gained through expending Draco and Character Memories. The required amount of Draco and Memories increases exponentially as Proficiency increases. However, the stat upgrades are considerably linear and small. Despite this, these are the few ways ATK Speed and Repositioning Time can be improved. The cap for Proficiency is up to +99 and would promise roughly 10% improvement in every stat.
It is generally advised to avoid this system despite having no other use for Memories. For more information, refer to Proficiency Data.
