Scout the roster
The character archive connects all 50 anime worlds and detailed profiles. Search the 320-version roster by anime, role or premiere era and compare two picks. A scouting link shares that comparison; it does not change your offered pool.
Profiles for Lelouch, Giorno and Jin Mori explain the forms included in this game. The listed scope matters more than assuming every later transformation is available.
Choose what to do after a season
Replay to test different picks, extend a regular 17-battle squad to 82, or try a new tactical schedule in Manage 82. Return for a shared daily challenge or repeat the weekly themed event to improve your personal best. Friend battles compare two shared teams asynchronously; you do not need to be online together.
