The first thing to do in A3! after the tutorial is to get familiar with the main screen and the navigation.

The Home Page is also known as the My Page (マイページ) screen. See the linked page for more detailed information.

Story

The Story (ストーリー) screen is where you can read the stories in A3!.

Main Story: Split into a Prologue and four Acts, each corresponding to a Troupe. As you gain Ranks, you unlock more chapters of the story. Reading a Main Story chapter for the first time will give you 2 Dia.

Backstage Story: Stories unlocked by raising the affection of a card. The card's rarity determines how many parts a backstage story has. Reading a Backstage Story part for the first time gives you 1 Dia.

• SSR: 3 parts
• SR: 2 parts
• R: 2 parts
• N: 1 part

Cross Backstage: Stories between two characters which can be read when you have obtained any SSR of each character. Reading a Cross Backstage for the first time grants 15 Dias.

Mini Conversations: Short dialogues unlocked by playing a Practice Mission, provided you meet certain conditions. Each practice mission partner will have 3 short dialogues with the player, and one short conversation with them and another character.

Event Story: Each Event has a story associated with it, consisting of 10 chapters and an Epilogue. These are unlocked by earning points in the event. Reading an event story chapter for the first time grants 1 Dia. Some event stories that you did not unlock during the event can be read using a Magic Bookmark.

Members Screen

The Members Screen (劇団員) is where you can manage the cards you acquire.

Member List: Allows you to view detailed card information, as well as lock and unlock them. This can be done by tapping the card you wish to lock/unlock and tapping the padlock button in the top right corner.

Leaving: Sell your cards for coins. There are three buttons on this screen. The left-most button automatically selects all of the Kamekichi cards, which have no use other than to sell for money. The second button clears your selection. The pink button confirms your selection. Locked cards will not be selectable on this screen.

Unit Creation

For more information on Unit Creation, see Team Building.

Practice

Consume cards to level up cards and leader skills. For more information, see Training.

Special Training

Use Special Training items (特訓アイテム) to increase card stats and adlib skills. For more information, see Special Training.

Blooming

If you own more than one of the same card, you can merge them here by first tapping the card you wish to bloom and then tapping the card(s) you want to merge with it. The stats (card level, skill level etc) of the card you pick first will be kept, so make sure you pick the card with the higher stats first. Blooming a card once will change the card art and increase the maximum level by 10; you can bloom cards up to twice in total.

Play

Outside Work

The Outside Work screen allows you to select two different members to perform outside work, earning coins and items.

Pressing the Completion button will activate a screen that allows you to see which Outside Work Conversations you have viewed. Completing all of the possible conversation combinations gives you a title.

• Veludo Station Front resets every 4 hours and is unlocked by default.
• Veludo Park resets every 8 hours and is unlocked by getting the Water me! Practice Lesson.
• Veludo Town Library resets every 12 hours and is unlocked by reaching Rank 20.

Scout

The Scout screen (スカウト) is where you can use items (mainly Dias) to acquire cards. There are several types of scout:

• Friend Point Scout: Uses Friend Points, with cards ranging from N~R rarity. Available at all times. Rates: R (20%), N (80%).
• Premium Scout: Uses Dia or Premium Medals, with cards ranging from R~SSR rarity. Available at all times.
• Limited Scout: Uses Dia, with cards ranging from R~SSR rarity. Available for a limited period of time.
• Start Dash Scout: Costs Dia x145 (paid) to do one 10 scout and acquire a Choice Medal, which can be used to select one card (R~SSR) of your choice from the Initial cardset. Available the first week when starting the game.
• Special Actor Scout: Costs Dia x145 (paid) to do one 10 scout in the Premium Scout. The rates for the MANKAI Birthday cards are greatly increased. Available the last two days of the month.
• Revival Scout: Uses Revival Medals to scout cards from previous limited scouts. This is a choice scout, meaning you can select exactly which card you wish to scout.

Starting Jan 2018, doing a ten-scout earns you a Scout Letter. These can be exchanged at the Exchange for training items, cards, magic bookmarks, medals, voice recordings and even, for limited periods of time, past event R cards.
