FAQ

How do I claim a Mastery reward?

Finish all three quests of a track, then press Claim! on the Mastery screen in the lobby.

Did the Mastery quests change?

Yes. On November 8 the developers made some quests easier and kept everyone’s progress. If you already passed the new goal, just press Claim! in the lobby. The numbers on this page are the current ones.

Which Mastery should I do first?

Black Hole, if you want Gojo: Gojo’s third quest needs a Mastered Black Hole. The other tracks have no order.
