MementoMori: AFKRPG, the Bank of Innovation INC developed and published game has just released globally recently on 18th October 2022. MementoMori: AFKRPG is a great addition to the Idle genre of titles that have seen unprecedented attention and growth from many developers. Directly rivaling the likes of AFK Arena and Idle Heroes, the 2 biggest idle genre games, MementoMori: AFKRPG has a tough path laid out to mark its own distinction among the competition. Boasting a steady amount of 1 million pre-registrations, MementoMori: AFKRPG is one of the few idle games launching this year. Focused on delivering the best music and art style, the game is more of an art than a playable game. Players can download and install MementoMori: AFKRPG as a free-to-play game on both the Google Play Store and iOS App Store. 

MementoMori: AFKRPG is an idle game that speaks massively for casual players who are looking for some quick action and dopamine influx that these games seem to bring. They are not meant for the hardcore grind players that love to delve deep into their games and excavate different strategies using multiple resources while constantly farming the dungeons on the side. MementoMori: AFKRPG has its priorities set on both music and art. The core gameplay of MementoMori: AFKRPG might be a bit of a disappointment for many players as the amount of depth and strategy expected even from an idle game is somewhat missing. On the other hand, players can unlock specific voice lines, dialogues, and backgrounds for their favorite characters, called “Witches” in the official in-game terminology. MementoMori: AFKRPG takes pride in its professional voice acting done by the likes of Kana Hanazawa, Inori Minase, Sumire Uesaka, Yoshino Nanjo, Atsumi Tanezaki, Minami Takahashi, Yui Horie, Yuu Asakawa, Ami Koshimizu, Hina Tachibana, and many more.

In this beginner’s guide for MementoMori: AFKRPG, we will be explaining all of the basic systems available in the game in detail and depth so that players can start their journey in the right way. MementoMori: AFKRPG is not a tough game to play by any means and we highly recommend players to explore the different witches and their stories as the game is a visual treat. Lastly, please do note that games like MementoMori: AFKRPG are not single-day sprint races but more like a marathon where players are rewarded for logging in every day and obtaining resources. Progression is achieved only through the consistency of the player. Players can enjoy MementoMori: AFKRPG the most by installing and playing MementoMori: AFKRPG on their PC with BlueStacks using a keyboard and mouse. 

Invoke – The Summoning System

MementoMori: AFKRPG is a hero-collector game that makes use of innate gachapon mechanics to give players a chance to summon their favorite characters. The summoning system of the game is called “Invoke” and can be unlocked after the player finishes the initial tutorial thrown by the game. Invoke menu can be accessed from the right-hand bottom side of the main menu. In this Invoke menu, players will be greeted with multiple summoning banners that offer different types of witches. Each of these summoning banners offers different type of witches and have different mechanics associated with them. The 4 main summoning banners that are currently available at the time of the global launch are as follows:

• Prayer of the Cursed Banner – Players can summon the N-SR rarity of Witches on this banner. This banner makes use of Diamonds as the summoning currency. There seems to be no expiration date for this banner.
• Prayer of Beginnings Banner – Players can summon only SR rarity of Witches on this banner. This banner makes use of Tickets of Beginning as the summoning currency. There seems to be no expiration date for this banner.
• Prayer of Friendship Banner – Players can summon the N-SR rarity of Witches on this banner. This banner makes use of Friendship Points as the summoning currency. There seems to be no expiration date for this banner.
• Prayer of Amber Banner – Players can summon the N-SR rarity of Witches on this banner. This banner makes use of Tickets of Souls as the summoning currency. This summoning banner rotates on the featured witches every day.

Players can summon different rarities of Witches at different probabilities from any available banner in the game. The base rates of witches are determined according to their rarity and not according to the summoning banner. Here is a breakdown of the different base rarities of witches and the rates to summon them from the banners:

• SR Witches – 4.46% Probability of being summoned
• R Witches – 43.77% Probability of being summoned
• N Witches – 51.77% Probability of being summoned

It’s quite apparent that the highest rarity of witches has the lowest base rates to be summoned while the lowest rarity of witches has the highest base rates to be summoned. This is quite the trend in many similar gacha games as these games are meant for long term collectability and playability. Players can choose to make 1 summon at a time or 10 summons at a time on any of the summoning banners. MementoMori: AFKRPG also has a soft pity for all players on all of their summoning banners. Players are guaranteed an SR Witch after summoning 10 times. Hence, on the 10th summon, players can get an SR Witch.

The different summoning currencies used in MementoMori: AFKRPG are as follows:

• Diamonds: Scarce Gemstones of high value used as currency throughout the continent. Players can use Diamonds to summon on the Prayer of the Cursed Banner.
• Ticket of Beginnings: A guaranteed 10 pulls on the Prayer of Beginnings summoning banner. This ticket guarantees an SR rarity Witch. Players can get it from the Premier Gifts section.
• Friend Points: Points that friends can gift to and obtain from each other. Players can use the Friend Points in the Prayer of Friendship Banner.
• Tickets of Souls: Used for summoning in the Prayer of Souls banner.

Different Currencies in MementoMori: AFKRPG

Games like MementoMori: AFKRPG is quite heavy on the currency aspects as they offer different types of in-game currencies for different purposes. Players should be aware of these currencies if they wish to advance further in the game in an efficient manner. Judicious use of these currencies dictates the pace of your early-mid game progression. In MementoMori: AFKRPG, we will be looking at the 3 major currencies used for making progress in-game:

• Gold
• Diamonds
• EXP Orb

Gold is one of the most abundantly available currencies in MementoMori: AFKRPG. Players can get Gold from multiple sources with the main one being, of course, the idle rewards that players get after some time. Gold can also be earned by completing in-game missions, achievements, events, and rewards from the developers in case of maintenance. Gold is made abundant as it is used abundantly as well. It’s mostly used everywhere with a focus on upgrading the levels of your witches, upgrading the equipment you own, and buying resources from the market.

Diamond is the most premium currency available in MementoMori: AFKRPG. Players can get Diamonds very scarcely as they are the premium currency. Diamonds are majorly used for buying summons to summon on the different summoning banners as we have seen above. Players can get Diamonds by completing daily missions, events, in-game rewards, and completing story missions. Players can also purchase them directly via making an in-game microtransaction by paying real-life money. Sometimes the developers also issue Diamonds as a form of compensation for in-game issues like bugs or maintenance time. 

EXP Orbs are also one of the 3 major currencies that are required for leveling up your witches as well as leveling your player level in general. The more the player level, the more game modes players will be able to unlock. One of the best sources of obtaining these EXP Orbs is through the AFK rewards in the idle chest. 

Power Up your Witches

All players who have so far made progress in MementoMori: AFKRPG will agree that the difficulty of content rises exponentially quite early on in the game. The game demands that players empower their collected Witches to make sure they are able to make progress. This is where correct planning and focusing on a small roster of Witches will be your biggest asset in MementoMori: AFKRPG. Making Witches stronger should be your priority, instead of chasing for high rarity new Witches from the Invoke system. MementoMori: AFKRPG is a complete PvE-only game where players can play without worrying about competing with other players. Hence, progressing through the main story stages is the biggest difficulty many players will face in the initial months. One thing is for sure, players are gated by the amount of resources they can obtain through the AFK rewards. There is no option for auto-repeat or grinding any stage or dungeon for more resources. 

More than having a tactical formation, players should focus on forming a formation of 5 of their strongest Witches. The total power of your entire team can be seen at the top left-hand side before starting any match. Here are the different methods to empower your witches:

• Leveling Up
• Awaken
• Equipment

Leveling Up is one of the best ways to increase the overall strength of your witches without worrying about any consequences. Leveling up your witches directly enhances their base stats such as Health, Defense, Attack, Speed, and more. These stats are core to the witch as many of the skill damage multipliers are based on the percentage of these stats. For example, Fenrir’s 2nd active ability deals damage to all enemies based on 350% of her Attack stat. Hence, the higher this Attack stat, the more damage she will deal with her skill. Players can level up their witches by consuming Gold and EXP Orbs both. As we mentioned before, both of these currencies are available abundantly, so do not worry and level up your favorite witches to the max. After every 10 levels, players will also require a new currency called Kindling Orbs to increase the level limit of the witch. Sometimes, increasing the level limit will also give witches access to new skills.

Awaken is one of the best methods to directly increase the rarity of your witches, although it might be considered a bit pay-to-win method. This is strict because to awaken your witches, players will require a duplicate of the witch. At the higher awakenings, players also require 2, 3, and even 5 duplicates of these witches. Granted, that’s the reason a pity exists where an SR witch is guaranteed at every 10 summons. Awakening increases the rarity of the witch, in turn, increasing the base stats of the witch as well.

Equipment forms the core of any witch as they provide additional stats to the witch that has them equipped. Equipment in MementoMori: AFKRPG comes in 6 different types. Each slot of equipment is to be filled by one of these types. Here are the different equipment types:

• Weapon
• Armor
• Helm
• Vest
• Gloves
• Boots
