Gather A Points and Scout More Characters:
After every victory, Commanders will gather A Points - a currency that can be used to purchase unlocked ships. Some ships may require a lot of A Points, so use it wisely.
Meet Shiranui and Akashi to Purchase and Upgrade Equipment:
There are 2 shops Commanders can visit: Shiranui's Shop and Akashi's Laboratory. You can buy and sell equipment at Shiranui's Shop that can be useful for your next battle.
Akashi's Laboratory can help Commanders create new equipment with the use of blueprints, convert special materials into equipment, and exchange rewards. Some equipment require certain blueprints and/or Coins to create, so Commanders may need to grind to grab the necessary blueprints and Coins needed.
