shadow

The shadow is a kind of 'pet' that the monarch can summon. The shadow has a attribute shadow and a summoned shadow. The attribution shadow refers to the shadows used by collecting pieces like a regular pet system and using them in the inventory.[6] Summoned shadows have a basic maximum, and you can increase your leadership (shadow) by purchasing a secret letter. There is also a rating in the attribution shadow, you can level up to the soulstone, and you can re -enforce the sculptures to raise the stars. Shadow stats when raising the level[7] As the stars increase, the stats increase to percentage, and the skill effect increases. Each shadow has a passive and skill and can be equipped with equipment.

treasure box

A treasure chest is a 'shop' within the game. In the treasure chest, you can consume gems to obtain shadows, artifacts, and skills. There is a shop on the tab next to the treasure chest, where you can buy packages with real money. There is a battle pass next to the shop tab, and there is a system where you level up and get rewards according to the number of monsters you catch. There is also a battle pass premium, which must be purchased with cash, and the level 1 premium reward includes a legendary shadow confirmation option. Next to the Battle Pass tab is the Token tab, where you can purchase soul stones, shadow fragments, and artifacts with tokens.[13]

    Hey, I've been having a frustrating issue with the game on my phone. I start it up, and instead of showing me the loading bar, I just hear the loading music playing. It never actually loads, except for that first time I open it. Every time after, I have to uninstall and reinstall it just to play. It's making me feel really annoyed with the game. I understand it just got released, so there are bound to be some bugs. I really hope you can fix this soon. I want to enjoy the game fully!

    I really enjoy the lack of PvP. It feels so relaxing. I can focus on my achievements without the stress that usually comes from competition. Everything is on my terms. No outside pressure exists, just me and my goals. Simple and enjoyable.

    Tailed Demon Slayer has a special place in my heart. This new game? It’s got a good concept, but it doesn’t quite hit the spot. I imagine something fresh and exciting. Picture a game with modern weapons, maybe fighting humans or aliens. Something different from swords and monsters. That would really shake things up!
