■ Introduction
Hey, how are you? I’m Ringo from Aion. This is the fourth Summoner’s Guide, a program that will teach you how to become a Devil Summoner. Be sure to follow along, okay?
First things first, did you see the video about me and Figue that was released the other day? Today I have more information for you.

I’m sure you know this by now, but I’m Ringo, an agent of Aion. I was recently born to save the world from ending and I’m still learning about people. I would like to know more about you all. It wouldn’t be fair if this was a one way deal, so let me tell you about myself first.
My COMP has some peculiarities. It is usually a katana type, but can morph into a weapon COMP during a Sabbath. I’m pretty good with Electricity and Almighty skills. I also have high offensive power, so you can count on me as an attacker. I even plan to learn skills that will allow me to increase a demon’s number of skill slots. I’m sure it will come in handy so be sure to check it out.

On to Figue, the other agent who was born at the same time as me. I guess you could say she’s like a sister to me. Unlike me, Figue is the cautious and reliable type. She helps us by, among other things, providing us with information that suits her perfectly.
Her analytical skills predestine her for a supporting role. With her owl-like drone named Mimi, she explores dungeons for enemies. Pretty cute, don’t you think? Mimi warns us when enemies appear and lets us know when demons are around on Demon Recon, so pay attention.
And… what else is there… Oh yeah… Her favorite food is Taiyaki! She gets mad at me if I talk too much, so you should talk to her directly. Please take care of my adorable figue!
To transmit the will of Aion to both of us, Flamma was born. Flamma only tells us soberly what we need to know, but she could be a bit friendlier.
Now that I’ve gone through the…people? Related to Aion. This sums up the gist of everything I’ve talked about. Now you have a good idea of how everyone relates to each other. That’s a fairly complex correlation diagram. Humans are really fascinating.
■ Devil Summoner progression items
Now I want to talk about how fel summoners get stronger. Man must continue to grow every day.
In the Mansei Realm facility COMP SMITH, acquired materials can be used to modify COMPs. It is directed by the talented Tara (voiced by Yumiri Hanamori), who can apply useful mods for combat, such as can grant valuable advantages for exploration.
There are also Commander Skills that are exclusive to Ringo’s COMP. Freely customize your COMPs to suit your unique playstyle.
Accessories can be purchased at the Zafiro located in Shinsando. Not only can accessories improve defense, but many of them can modify various stats like dodge. Try to equip accessories that work well with your playstyle.
Also in Shinsando is the Bar Heidrun, where Ringo and her allies can spend time together. These interactions, where they chat and drink together, are called Hangout Events, and completing them will increase your Soul Level with a specific ally.
Soul planes represent the level of mutual understanding between allies. Aside from hanging out at the bar, you can increase soul levels by advancing the story. They say that increasing soul level can grant some kind of boon.
—Ringo: “We can’t approach this like there’s only one right way to do things.”
Modify COMPs and equip accessories to boost characters. Increase soul levels and deepen your relationship with your allies! To face powerful enemies, you must become stronger as a Devil Summoner and as a team.
■ Conclusion
Well, that’s it for today’s Summoner’s Guide. Keep looking forward to the next one, okay?
Until next time!
