The Basics

The King of Fighters ALLSTAR Guide Tips In KOF ALLSTAR, you build the team of three fighters; one leader(in the first slot of the team formation) and two other fighters that you can tag along in the team. During the fight, you can switch to any of these fighters – there is a cooldown though – during cooldown, you would not be able to switch to the fighter.

Along with these three fighters, you can pair strikers(fighters). In other words, you can pair the three main fighters with three strikers. On the quest info or team-formation screen, at the bottom of the main fighter’s portrait, you can add strikers by tapping the + option. If there is already a striker, then you can replace him/her by tapping on his/her portrait -> on the next screen -> select the striker that you want to select.

The King of Fighters ALLSTAR Guide To Combat

The King of Fighters ALLSTAR Guide Tips ⇒The game lets you play the combat automatically, manually or you can use the semi-auto feature. In the manual settings, you have full control over the fighters and their skills. When you use the auto-mode, all the actions by fighters are controlled by AI. And, when you set it to semi-auto, you have control over the fighter’s skills.

At the top-left corner of the game screen, you can switch between these fight modes. We would recommend playing manually when fighting powerful enemies. When grinding, you should use the auto-mode.

⇒At the top-right corner of the combat screen, you can call the striker by tapping the striker icon. And, you can switch to any other team fighter by tapping his/her portrait on the upper-right corner.

⇒At the bottom-center of the combat screen, you can check the fighter’s HP and power-gauge. PG or Power Gauge is required to cast the ultimate move. You can charge the PG or Power Gauge by unleashing basic attacks/moves.

So this would be all in this KOF ALLSTAR Guide to combat. Now, let’s learn how do you progress in The King of Fighters ALLSTAR.

Series, Chapters, Difficulty – Normal, Hard, and Expert

We all the players start the game from the story mode in which we complete the chapters with increasing difficulty. The story mode is divided into five series of events: –

The King of Fighters 94 – 27 Stages
KOF 95 – 35 Stages
The King of Fighters 96 – 35 Stages
KOF 97 – 37 Stages
The King of Fighters 98 – 32 Stages

In each series, there are some chapters that you need to clear to unlock the next series. And, in each chapter, you compete with powerful fighters. The number of stages in a particular series is mentioned above.

You can play each series in three difficulty modes; normal, hard, and expert. Once you clear all the chapters in a series in normal difficulty, the hard mode will get unlocked. And, as you clear the hard mode, the expert mode gets unlocked.

In the story mode screen, at the top-left corner, tap the series button -> from there you can switch between the series. And near the series button, tap the drop-down button that lets you choose the difficulty mode; normal, hard, and expert.

Other than the story mode, you can participate in dungeons, quests, events for rewards.

KOF ALL STAR Guide To Fighters Leveling

Fighters can perform much better if they have better stats such as HP, ATK, DEF. And, the easiest way to raise a character’s stats in KOF ALL STAR game is by leveling up. For leveling up, you need capsules. Capsules grant EXP to the fighter. You can grind these capsules in the story mode – repeat the stages. The process – head to the fighter’s profile -> level up -> use the capsules -> enhance.

Other than the EXP capsules, the three more capsules are; ATK Capsule, DEF Capsule, and HP Capsule. The ATK Capsule increases the attack stat of the fighter, DEF Capsule increases the defense stat of the fighter, and the HP capsule increases the HP of the fighter. Like the EXP Capsules, you can obtain these capsules from the story mode. (Also, see – KOF AllStar Coupon Codes – The King of Fighters All Star)

KOF ALL STAR Guide To Evolving

Leveling does increase the stats of a fighter. But what would you do when the fighter reaches the max level? The answer is evolution. Evolving the fighter increases his/her star-level. And, that increases the max level of the fighter. For example – A 5-star fighter to 6-star fighter – from 50 max level to 60-max level.

Evolving is not as easy as leveling up. You will need to grind the evolution materials such as Jade, mirror, sword, etc. Where to get these materials? From the Power-Up dungeon.

Head to the evolve tab in fighter’s profile -> there you can check the number of materials required to evolve. Tap the material to check its source.

The King of Fighters All Star Guide To Limit Break

KOF ALL STAR Guide To Cores

Additional stats such as HP, ATK, DEF, CRIT RATE, etc. can be granted to the fighter by unlocking cores. Head to the core tab in the fighter’s profile -> there you tap the stat nodes -> unlock. Specific cores are required to unlock these bonus stat effects. And, you can grind cores from Power-Up Dungeon or Craft in the craft page.

The King of Fighters ALL STAR Battle Cards

For further stat improvement of the fighter, you can equip the battle cards. Battle Cards can be obtained from the summoning portal or crafted on the craft page. Equip the battle cards based on their type. For example – If the fighter excels in attack or belongs to attack type, then equip the battle cards that boost ATK Strength. Read the fighters type guide below for more details.

Navigate to the affinity tab in fighter’s profile -> select the gift -> choose the quantity -> OK. You can get the gifts from story mode chapters.
