Guide/Karma

A **karma** ("karmas" in plural) is a special card, and is one of the main tools in playing Mr. Love: Queens' Choice. Many karmas are needed in order to succeed in the game.

A karma can have one of eight rarities (From low to high): N, NH, R, ER, SR, SSR, SER and SP.

ER and SER karma are types that come with one illustration. ER karma are can come with Dates or Rumors & Secrets (with Main Story/Chapter ERs usually having R&S). Free ERs are available through the Cooperation Project (unlocked after passing Season 2: Main Story 1 - 1). It's possible to combine two different fully ascended ER karmas of the same character and memory starlocks to make a new SER karma. Once combined, the player can choose which image to display as the "Before" and "After" of the SER.

Lastly, SPs do not have normal dates, nor do they reward moments, SMS, or calls. Instead, they have Mind's Quests, which is the equivalent of a date but with extra features unlocked in place of phone interactions when starring up. To unlock an SP Karma's Mind's Quest, a player must unlock up to Tier 4 (160 Shards or 2 SP Duplicates). Beyond Tier 4 is just additional stats and starts to require Wheel of Memory, which can be obtained from Ch. 19+ Elite Stages. A total number of 400 Shards are required (5 SP Duplicates).

Each karma has four attributes: Decision (Blue), Creativity (Orange), Affinity (Pink), and Execution (Green), which, in turn, have their own individual stats that can range from 1, to well over 1000, depending on its rarity and level. A karma's highest stat is distinguishable by the colored frame around it.

## Mechanics

### Obtainment

You can get Karmas from the Wish Tree on the main screen, and by combining Karma Shards.

### Karma Shards

Karma Shards are pieces of a karma. to make one R karma, you will need a total of 30 shards. For a SR karma, 50, and for an SSR karma, 80.

### Strengthening Karmas

An important part of the game, you can strengthen your karma's stats in Four different ways. You can: Upgrade, Star Up, Evolve, and Ascend each karma.

* **Upgrade**: Upgrading your karma is to increase its level. (This directly increases its stats.) You can do so by using your karma in the action stages of the main story, and by spending Encounter Wishes.
* **Star Up**: To increase the stats in this way, you must play certain action stages to earn specific Upgrade Items. Either manually, or by pressing the remake button. (Remake is available on completed stages with 2/3 crowns.)
* **Evolve**: Evolving karma utilizes the same method as Star Up, but with an added feature, Memory Stardust. Memory Stardust is the byproduct of passing duplicate karmas in Karma Pass. (Evolve is available upon clearing stage 4/21)
* **Ascend**: Ascending karma requires an initial unlock using memory stardust. After that, you will use currency obtained from Heart Trial on the main screen. This feature is not available on NH or N karma (Ascend is available upon clearing stage 5/10).

### Rewards

There are many rewards to be had from karmas. Specifically, SMS, Phone Call, Moments, and Karma Promise. Theses rewards are available on R, SR, and SSR cards only, and are rewarded upon Star Up in different quantities.

### Karma Pass

Karma pass is where all of your duplicate karmas are stored, and where you can turn them into Memory Stardust, Memory Starlight, Memory Starburst, and Memory Starshine. All of which, are stored here.
