Going through the Story
The first time you enter a stage, you will progress through the story mode version of the stage. Since no Shoes are consumed during story mode, you can progress at your own pace. Story mode also offers special first-clear rewards that can only be obtained the first time you complete a stage.
Stages
Every stage presents new challenges for the Master of the Book and their Knights of Veda team, comprising four Knights of your choice in your party. You can freely switch between Knights during battle. If all four Knights are defeated, you become the Master of the Book. If you can activate the signature skill as the Master of the Book, then you can bring your Knights back to life. If you are defeated, you will need to replay the stage as it won't be considered cleared.
You can check the Recommended Level of the stage and recommended attributes for the stage as well before you enter.
You can also invite friends and guild members to join you in your adventures. In order to invite someone to join you, click the second book above your team layout, select the other player's name, and they will be invited to play with you. You must be on the same Adventure Level in order to play co-op.
Trophy Rewards
Every stage will have a collection of objectives to clear that will reward you with Trophies. In order to check a stage's objectives, click the Trophy icon on the stage information page.
Earning trophies contributes to your Trophy Reward Track progress, unlocking fantastic items as you go. If you clear all stages of a chapter with 3 trophies, you will be able to increase the Trophy reward level, and earn yourself more Starstones for repeating the process again.
Replaying Stages
You can replay any of the stages once they have been completed. There are many reasons to go back and clear stages in ASTRA: Knights of Veda. You may be looking for specific resources needed to improve your Knights such as Records, enhancement materials, ascension materials, weapon/accessory enhancement materials, weapon/accessory ascension materials or just want to save up some Starstones by earning trophies and completing your Trophy Level. Once you've collected all the Trophy Rewards for the chapter, you can increase the difficulty to earn even more rewards.
