Friendship & Reputations

Strengthen your Epic Seven roster by mastering Friendship levels and Reputations. Unlock unique content and gain valuable resources through deeper bonds.

Beyond the heat of battle, Epic Seven offers a rich system of character development through Friendship and a broader progression through Reputations. Mastering these systems provides invaluable resources, unlocks unique story content, and strengthens your overall roster.

Friendship Levels: Deepening Bonds

Each hero in Epic Seven has a Friendship Level, ranging from 0 to 10. Increasing a hero's Friendship unlocks their unique "Hero Journal" stories, provides Skystones, and is crucial for completing certain Reputation missions. Maxing out Friendship is also a prerequisite for some Specialty Changes.

How to Increase Friendship

• Adventure Stages: Simply bringing a hero into any Adventure stage (Story, Unrecorded History, Side Stories) will grant them Friendship experience upon completion. The higher the stage difficulty, the more experience gained.
• Sanctuary - Forest of Souls: The "Forest of Souls" in your Sanctuary is a dedicated Friendship farm.
  • Spirit Sanctuary: Place heroes in the Spirit Sanctuary building. They will passively gain Friendship experience over time, even when you're offline. Upgrading the Spirit Sanctuary increases the rate of gain and the number of heroes you can place.
  • Penguin Nest: While primarily for experience, sometimes placing heroes here can contribute minor Friendship.
• Consumable Gifts: Certain items, like "Friendship Points" or "Friendship Chests," can be used directly from your inventory to instantly boost a hero's Friendship. These are often acquired through events, web events, or as login bonuses.
• Lobby Interactions: Tapping on your lead hero in the lobby can sometimes trigger a small Friendship gain, especially if they have a special dialogue interaction.

Friendship Rewards

As heroes reach new Friendship Levels, you'll earn:

• Hero Journal Entries: Unlocks lore and backstory for the hero.
• Skystones: A significant source of premium currency, especially when maxing out multiple heroes.
• Reputation Progress: Contributes to certain Reputation missions, particularly those from the "Adventurer" or "Heir" categories.

Reputations: Earning Recognition

Reputations are long-term progression goals that reward you for various in-game activities. They are divided into several categories, each with its own set of missions and rewards. Access the Reputation menu via the "Lobby" -> "Reputation" icon.

Key Reputation Categories & Strategies

Focusing on these categories early will provide substantial benefits:

1. Adventurer: These missions primarily involve completing Adventure stages, defeating specific enemies, and achieving certain milestones in the main story.
   • Strategy: Simply progressing through the main story and Unrecorded History will naturally complete many of these. revisit earlier stages for AP farming or catalyst drops, as these still count towards "defeat X enemies" missions.
   • Notable Rewards: Skystones, Gold, Molagora Seeds, and sometimes even rare equipment or artifacts.
2. Heir: Focuses on hero development, including leveling up heroes, promoting them, awakening them, and increasing their Friendship Levels.
   • Strategy: Actively level and promote fodder heroes (Phantasmas) and any new units you acquire. Prioritize maxing Friendship on heroes you frequently use or those with unique stories you want to unlock. The "Forest of Souls" is your best friend here.
   • Notable Rewards: Skystones, Gold, Charms (for enhancing equipment/artifacts), and Molagora.
3. Sanctuary: Related to upgrading and using the various buildings within your Sanctuary.
   • Strategy: Prioritize upgrading key buildings like the "Heart of Orbis" for more Orbis's Breath, "High Command" for dispatch missions, and the "Forest of Souls" for Friendship farming.
   • Notable Rewards: Orbis's Breath, Gold, Skystones, and materials for crafting.
4. Battle: Centers around combat achievements, such as winning Arena battles, clearing Abyss floors, or participating in Hunt stages.
   • Strategy: Consistently engage in all combat content. Even if you can't clear the highest difficulty, every victory contributes. For Arena, aim for your daily flag usage. For Hunts, focus on the highest Wyvern/Golem/Banshee stage you can reliably clear.
   • Notable Rewards: Conquest Points, Skystones, Gold, and various crafting materials.
5. Guild: Involves participation in Guild activities, such as donating, checking in, and engaging in Guild Wars.
   • Strategy: Join an active guild and participate daily. Donate Gold and Proofs of Courage, check in, and contribute to Guild War efforts.
   • Notable Rewards: Guild Currency, Skystones, and sometimes exclusive artifacts or equipment.
