AR Zodiac Summon: Summoning costs a special AR Astral Gem. The rewards are the same as for Zodiac Summon. However, it’s a quite a bit more interesting. By utilizing AR technology, you can take the game into your living room, and take various screenshots to share via social media.
Saint AR Summon: Tap and hold on Seiya in the Lobby for 3 seconds to find the entrance. Saint AR Summon takes Saints into the real world, and you can take group photos with the Saints you like, then share and save them.
How to Obtain Astral Gems
Summoning costs Astral Gems and these can either be purchased or obtained. Common Astral Gems cost 30,000 Gold each, Advanced Astral Gems cost 100 Diamonds each, and AR Astral Gems can be obtained via operational events. While in the Summon menu, tap the + sign in the top right to quickly buy Astral Gems. If you want to buy several Astral Gems at once, you can do so via the Mall. Once the Mall runs out of stock, you can spend Diamonds to refresh its stock.
Astral Gems can also be acquired by completing story quests, or by completing high-level achievements.
