UI guide

Whether you are here because you want to know what everything means since it's all in Korean, or you just want to know where to go, welcome to Kanatales!

## The Lobby

### 1: Player information

This is where your name, title and emblem are displayed. You can change those aspects by tapping any of the three. The relevant menu will also display your current card collection status, as well as your user ID and other information.

### 2: Ad buff

An important part of the game revolves around watching ads to receive a buff that enables bonus rewards from Dungeons, Events and Fight areas (for those able to make In-App Purchases (IAP) within Korea, it is possible to bypass the need for watching ads to receive the buff).

To begin the process, first tap the icon. A confirmation window will pop up, however it is necessary to wait 3-5 seconds for the ad to finish loading (the ad buff color will turn green) before it can be viewed. Attempting to go to the ad immediately by confirming early will result in an error window popping up, so be sure to wait some seconds before confirming.

The typical viewing time for an ad is around 5 to 15 seconds, though at times it can go to 30 seconds at a time. Abandoning the ad in progress will debuff you with the inability to receive the buff for some amount of time, so be sure to watch until you're allowed to leave.

After successfully watching (part of) the ad, the ad buff color will turn red, with a timer ticking down from 20 minutes duration, to confirm that the buff has been received.

The buff status and its duration can be viewed anywhere it is applicable for you to receive bonus rewards. Exceptions include Shadowland and Event Bosses that do not reside on a floor.

### 3:Appearances & backpack

Tapping the eye button will remove all of the UI to display only your Lobby Character and Lobby Background. Tap anywhere to restore the UI.

In the center stands your Lobby Character. You may change this selection, as well as your Lobby Background, by tapping the dress button.

The Backpack button will show a list of items you have obtained during your gameplay. Tapping an item will show its description, as well as which items can produce them. Tapping those items will bring up a conversion menu for your convenience. You can alternatively exchange items at the shop menu mentioned later on.

### 4: Gameplay shortcut

Tapping the banner displayed will take you to either the Dungeon listing, or the current Event if one is available. This can save a step or two of tapping compared to going through the Dungeon UI.

### 5: Decks, cards, albums and shop

The following buttons from left to right are:

* Decks, where you can review your current decks as well as edit them, build new ones or delete them;
* Cards, which is similar to the UI presented when building decks but without the deckbuilding clutter. It also has a mass-dismantle feature (to be explained in its own section);
* Albums, where you can view your collection of cards along with album completion cards requiring a complete collection of their relevant Episode or Event to acquire;
* Shop, where you can buy cosmetics, exchange items, make IAP and obtain new cards for your use.

### 6: Talentium Supplies

Here you can see your obtained Talentium supplies, including your ingots and orbs. In Event menus, you can also see your current special Event currency amount.

### 7: Attendance check, coupon information and Hot Time rewards

The calendar button will take you to where you can review your attendance rewards as well as view coupons and redeem them for rewards.

* This is not the only place to find coupons; for more possible coupons click on the megaphone on the right to visit the game forums (which are in Korean), which will be further detailed later.

Hot Time can be accessed through the party popper icon, which has time-sensitive rewards based on the day of the week, along with occasional special Hot Times to celebrate a particular occasion, such as an ongoing event or major content update.

### 8: Options, forums, mail and dailies/achievements

The following buttons from top to bottom are:

* Options, where you can perform various functions, such as changing the shown language, change the volume settings, review your bind settings and adjust notification pushes to your device;
* Forums, where the developers display update, maintenance and update information as well as promote upcoming content, along with regular users discussing the game, while a Korean database for the game can also be found here;
* Mail, which is where maintenance compensation gets deposited, along with where you can pick up your redeemed coupon items. Typically mailbox items expire within a day or two unless otherwise noted, so please remember to be mindful of your mailbox;
* Dailies and achievements, where you go to receive your daily, as well as achievement, rewards after completing their respective requirements.

### 9: Lobby Character Quote

Tapping anywhere on the screen that isn't UI-related will cause the Lobby Character's expressions and text to appear together in a random order.

### 10: Fight & Dungeon

Here you can visit the Fight and Dungeon areas by tapping on the heraldry symbol and the cave entrance buttons respectively.

## Trivia

In medieval times, the heraldry symbol used for Fight ironically used to mean "the fight is over". The correct heraldry symbol to use to participate in a Fight would instead be two swords crossed diagonally upward.
