# Pals

Pals are the core of the Merge Pals experience. They are your trusted companions, helping you complete missions, level up, and progress through the game. Each Pal is unique in its rarity and level, making them essential for crafting your strategy and achieving success.

#### Pals are categorized by rarity, which determines their strength and availability:

* Common (White)
* Rare (Blue)
* Epic (Purple)
* Legendary (Gold)
* Mythic (Rainbow Gradient)

#### Merging is the key to making your Pals stronger:

* **Start at Level 1:** All Pals begin at Level 1 when acquired.
* **Merge to Level Up:** Combine two identical Pals of the same level and rarity to create a stronger Pal.
* **Max Level 10:** Pals can reach up to Level 10 through merging.
* **Special Levels Beyond 10:** Unlock higher levels by using additional materials, adding more progression for advanced players.

#### The Gacha system is the main way to acquire Pals:

* **Use Gacha Tickets:** Draw random Pals with Level 1 and varying rarities.
* **Choose Your Pull:** Select between a single pull or a 10-pull option for higher chances at rare Pals.
* **Earn Tickets Through Gameplay:** Complete missions, participate in events, or purchase tickets in-game.
* **Pity System:** Guaranteed rarity upgrades after 10, 50, or 100 pulls without a Rare, Epic, or Legendary Pal.

#### Pals are the driving force behind every mission and level-up:

1. **Collect and Merge Pals:** Use the Gacha system to gather Pals and merge them to increase their level.
2. **Complete Missions:** Send leveled-up Pals on Explore missions that require specific levels, rarities, or quantities.
3. **Earn Rewards:** Gain Fame, Coins, and Gacha Tickets from missions to grow your Pal collection.
4. **Continue Progression:** Strategically balance Pals for immediate rewards or long-term growth.

#### Why Pals Matter

* Higher rarity Pals excel in tougher challenges.
* Combine duplicates to create stronger versions, unlocking new possibilities in missions.
* Pals are critical to meeting mission requirements and advancing your gameplay.

Pals are your ultimate tool for success in Merge Pals. With the right strategy, you can build a powerful team, dominate missions, and enjoy a seamless progression through the game.
