So you want to know about Tower of Fantasy characters? Known in-game as ‘Simulacra’, these are the new anime game’s collectable personae that you can earn. Sometimes they come as quest rewards, but the main unlock method is through interacting with the myriad of progression systems, Tower of Fantasy events, and the ‘special order’ banners that you’ll recognise from similar open-world games like Genshin Impact.
You might also see characters referred to by their signature Tower of Fantasy weapon as, unlike in Gensin Impact, Tower of Fantasy characters are unlocked the moment you obtain their weapon – there’s no having to pull for both, and you can’t get one without the other. Characters are also separated into tiers – SSR and SR – which is a slightly old-school version of the five and four-star (respectively) system you’ll recognise from elsewhere.
