Last Cloudia: The Ultimate Player’s Guide

Hey there! I’m your fellow Cloudian—you know, one of those players who dove into Last Cloudia and stayed for the long haul. If you’re reading this, chances are you’re ready to explore one of the most vibrant pixel-art JRPGs on mobile and PC. In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything from the basics to advanced strategies, all from someone who's been grinding for months. My goal? Make you feel confident, informed, and ready to dominate the world of Granzelia (and beyond).

Let’s jump in.

I. Introduction to Last Cloudia

A. Overview of the game and features

B. Game genre (pixel-art JRPG) and gameplay style

It blends classic JRPG vibes (characters, story, quests) with modern mobile mechanics (collection, gacha, optimization). Combat isn’t just tap-autoplay—real moments of skill, timing, and build matter.

C. Platform availability (mobile, PC)

Available on Android/iOS and also on Steam (PC).

D. Developer information

Developed and published by AIDIS Inc., a Japanese game studio.

E. Community and player-base overview

A passionate community exists across Reddit, Discord, fan wikis. Players range from new starters to veterans who’ve built huge collections. The Reddit thread says:

“Last Cloudia is a somewhat unique gacha game… each character comes with a unique set of skills …”
So, you’re joining a game with depth, but also one where you’ll want to play smart.

II. Getting Started and Beginner Guide

A. Game installation and account creation

Download from your device’s store (Google Play / App Store). On PC you can get it via Steam. After install, sign in/create account, choose region/server.

B. Initial tutorial and basic mechanics

You’ll go through a story-driven tutorial: meet the main characters (Kyle, Rei), fight your first battle, get introduced to Arks and skill trees. Use this time to familiarise yourself with UI: squad setup, skills, menu/navigation.

C. First-time player tips and tricks

1. Stick with your starter picks until you understand the system.

2. Complete the story and main quests early—they unlock key systems.

3. Don’t panic about missing units early on—many older units remain viable.

4. Use your initially free resources wisely (gems, pulls).

D. New player resource allocation

Resources include gems (premium currency), souls (blue/red for Arks), gear upgrade materials. Early on: focus on story progression, gear enough to clear main quests, invest in one or two core units.

E. Early game progression strategy

• Clear chapters to unlock squad size and modes.

• Focus on building a balanced team (DPS + support/healer).

• Progress your Arks to strengthen units.

• Save extra pulls for banners with units you actually want.

• Join community channels early to learn about rerolls, meta units.

III. Character Selection and Reroll Guide

A. Character selection overview

When you start, you’ll choose from some “intro” heroes or flag for reroll (doing pulls until you get a favourable unit).

B. Hero selection guide

Look for units that offer good synergy, have strong skills, and fit your play style. For example: the “starter” combo Kyle + Rei are safe bets.

C. Unit reroll guide

Rerolling is resetting your initial account to pull desirable units early. The Reddit crowd suggests:

“If you are playing for the story and stuff… sure. If you want to play as a hero collector… this is 100%, 1000% not for you.”
So yes—could be worth it if you want to start strong.

D. Reroll mechanics explanation

Typically you complete tutorial, get free pulls, see if you got a strong unit/Ark, if not: delete account / log out / reinstall and repeat. Being efficient matters.

E. Best characters for beginners

Often units with strong self-buffs, single target DPS, or easy-to-gear supports are best. Avoid “glass cannon” units that require deep investment too early. Community tier lists (later in this guide) will highlight good beginner picks.

IV. Main Character Classes and Heroes

Here are some of the key heroes you’ll encounter early, and what to focus on.

A. Kyle character guide

Kyle is one of the main protagonists (knight of the 12th Order). He offers solid physical DPS, good at early game content.

B. Rei character mechanics

Rei is a beast companion to Kyle—strong in different dimension (beast form) and offers dynamic support/damage.

C. Theria specialization

Theria acts more as a versatile support/healer type. Good to have someone like her in your squad early.

D. Lilebette overview

Lilebette adds utility and support flavour—balancing the all-DPS team.

E. Character comparison analysis

• DPS units like Kyle bring damage.

• Support units like Theria or Lilebette bring sustainability.

• A balanced team early = better progression.
  Watch for “shift” versions (alternate forms) and Arks as they matter a lot in long-term viability.

V. Character Tier Lists and Rankings

A. Overall tier list ranking

Community often uses S-tier, A-tier, B-tier to classify heroes. S-tier = best in many content types; A-tier = strong but maybe niche; etc.

B. Best class selection guide

Look for roles: DPS, Support, Utility. S-tier DPS often dominate meta.

C. PvE tier ranking

Some units shine in story content, dungeons; others are built for boss or raid.

D. Meta character selection

Meta units change over time, so invest wisely: a strong unit today may be overtaken tomorrow. Reddit warns about power-creep.

E. Tier ranking explanation

Tier lists aren’t everything—they’re a guide. If you like a unit and build them right, you’ll be fine. But for competitive content, meta units help.

VI. Ark System Overview

A. Ark system guide

Arks are key: equippable items that grant skills, passive boosts, and richer customization.

B. Ark mechanics explained

Each Ark has: initial ability, teachable skills (when leveled), and sometimes unlocks a weapon/armor. Equipping and upgrading them is pivotal.

C. Ark acquisition

Arks are obtained via summoning/gacha, special banner pulls, events.

D. Ark progression path

Level up Arc (cost souls/materials), teach skills, equip gear-item, and evolve. Usually time-gated.

E. Ark importance in gameplay

Arks often differentiate units—two players with the same hero may differ dramatically depending on Ark/gear. Focusing on Ark progression really pays off.

VII. Ability Tree and Skill Learning

A. Ability tree guide overview

Each unit has an ability tree/grid where you unlock nodes that boost stats, unlock passives, or grant upgrades.

B. Skill learning mechanics

Skills are learned via materials and often via Arks. You’ll need to invest in them.

C. Skill tree progression

Start with core nodes (damage, survivability) and then expand into role-specific branches (e.g., support, tank).

D. Ability grid explanation

Visual interface: nodes connected by paths—plan your route for optimal stat gain.

E. Optimal skill selection

Early game: pick nodes that increase power/survivability. Later, refine passives for niche content (PvP, raids).

VIII. Skills and Abilities

A. Skill guide overview

Units typically have: basic attack, 3(?) skill buttons/specials, ultimate/limit-break style skill.

B. Passive ability system

Passives come via ability tree and Ark skills—things like buffing damage, lowering cooldowns, granting special triggers.

C. Active skill mechanics

Active skills have cooldowns or usage limits—timing is important.

D. Skill cost management

Certain skills may consume “skill points” or tied to Arks—make sure you manage your resource.

E. Skill rotation guide

In battle: use synergy of skills + passives. Example: break meter (see next section) triggers ultimate; use support buffs first, DPS skill cycle, then ultimate. Timing wins.

IX. Soul System and Resources

A. Soul system overview

You’ll see “Blue Souls” and “Red Souls” in the Ark system and resource mechanics.

B. Blue souls guide

Typically used for Ark progression in one branch (magic? probably).

C. Red souls mechanics

Used for another branch. Differ by type of unit or specialization.

D. Soul farming methods

Complete dungeons, events, daily/weekly missions to stock up. Early on, conserve.

E. Resource management

Don’t burn all your souls on every Ark too early—invest in your core best heroes first.

X. Combat System and Mechanics

A. Combat system overview

Real-time combat: pixel characters move in 3D space, you tap skills, manage rotation, and see flashy animations.

B. Battle mechanics explained

You’ll face waves or bosses; concepts: ‘Break’ mechanic (boss gets vulnerable when break meter fills), synergy buffs, DPS timing.

C. Real-time combat guide

Stay aware: use skill combos, activate ultimate when break, use support skills strategically.

D. Combat strategy guide

Use roles: tank/leader draws aggro, DPS hits hard, support heals/buffs. Rotate skills to maintain uptime.

E. Tactical positioning

While this is a mobile game, positioning + target priority matter (e.g., which boss part to hit, avoid interrupt mechanics, etc.).

XI. Manual Control and Auto Battle

A. Manual control guide

You can tap and manage skills manually—this is best for boss fights or advanced content.

B. Auto battle mechanics

Auto-mode is fine for farming/story; but manual often gets better results in end-game.

C. Control options overview

Toggle between auto/manual in settings. Some content locks manual.

D. Battle settings guide

Disable or adjust skill-auto triggers, customize UI layout, review cooldown visuals.

E. Combat mechanics optimization

Use manual for key fights; auto for repetitive content. That balance saves time yet keeps results high.

XII. Equipment and Gear System

A. Equipment guide overview

Weapons, armor, accessories upgrade your units. Strong gear = big difference.

B. Weapon selection guide

Choose weapons that match your unit’s role—physical DPS, magic, hybrid.

C. Armor guide and recommendations

Armor sets often give set bonuses; equip best available.

D. Gear progression path

Start with small upgrades → merge → transcend/higher tier.

E. Equipment enhancement mechanics

Use upgrade materials (often earned via dungeons/events). Prioritise gear for your main units first.

XIII. Enhancement and Awakening

A. Enhancement system guide

Gear and units can be enhanced—stat boosts, levels, options.

B. Awakening mechanics

Units can sometimes “Awaken” to higher tiers or forms (shift versions), unlocking new skills/stats.

C. Enhancement materials farming

Use daily/weekly content, events. The drop rates might be low—plan accordingly.

D. Level cap progression

As you awaken gear/units, level caps increase. Keep units up-to-date.

E. Character progression optimization

Focus on one or two core units initially rather than spreading resources thin. That gives higher return.

XIV. Dungeon and Boss Content

A. Dungeon guide overview

Various dungeons exist: story dungeons, element dungeons, special event dungeons.

B. Dungeon progression path

Clear easier ones first to unlock higher tier dungeons.

C. Boss fight tactics

Use break mechanic, exploit boss weaknesses, use buffs/debuffs.

D. Boss mechanics explained

Bosses may have phases, invulnerable segments, enrage timers. Prepare accordingly.

E. Farming strategy guide

Use sweep tickets (if available) or auto-farm to accumulate materials/gear quickly. Optimize stamina/time.

XV. Break Mechanic and Ultimate Skills

A. Break mechanic guide

Bosses have a “Break” meter—when filled, they become vulnerable and you deal extra damage. Knowing when to trigger is key.

B. Break status explanation

When boss is “Broken,” their defense lowers, they may be stunned, or you get extra hits.

C. Ultimate skill system

Your units have ultimate skills that typically charge via battle, use after break moment.

D. Ultimate activation guide

Don’t waste ultimate before break; trigger it at the right time. Ideally: buff → break → ultimate.

E. Damage optimization

Combine break with ultimate + buffs + gear set bonus = maximum effect.

XVI. Summon System and Gacha

A. Summon guide overview

You’ll summon units and Arks via banner pulls—premium currency (gems), tickets, event currency.

B. Summon mechanics explained

Each banner has drop rates, sometimes pity systems, limited units/Arks. Monitor carefully.

C. Gacha system mechanics

Watch for new unit drop banners, collabs, “shift” versions, increased rates. Use free pulls when available.

D. Gacha rates explanation

Community suggests rates are modest—don’t expect top unit every pull. Reddit mentions:

“Rates are good… but the pity system is shockingly… bad.”

E. Summon strategy guide

Save your premium currency for banners of units you genuinely want. Use free pulls. Know when reruns happen. Be patient.
