Guide to Guilt

Once you hit Mission 200 34, you get an item called a Power Bangle.  That means little symbols appear next to those empty circles in your 6* medals:

You fill those bubbles by combining identical cards.  By combining 6, the guilt icon lights up and it give you a percent multiplier to your special attack.

However, there are four eight (and counting!) tiers of guilt, to complicate things even further, and you can tell which tier a medal is by the guilt symbol by the bubbles a little number above the Level Up button (not shown in picture).  Each Tier has its own maximum and minimum percentages.

(Thanks KHinsider for such an awesome infographic.)

So how do you get better guilt?  Well, each tier generally represent its rarity.  Also, the lower the tier, the fewer stars you can get it in.  For instance, there is no such thing as a 1* Sephiroth, because he is a Tier 4.  Olette, however, can be 1* all the way through 6*.

Tier 1: Farmable - 1* to 6* - like Stitch and Olette above, these can be rewarded from completing missions.  Sometimes event medals that are easy to farm are also Tier 1.  If you’ve got some free time and 15 dollars, you can get all the Tier 1 guilts without too much hassle. 
Tier 2: Rare - 3* to 6* - only from medal pulls and events.  If you save your medals after each pull, these are completely doable for a F2P player.  All based on chance.
Tier 3: Epic - 5* to 6* - They go up to 100% which is amazing!  But getting an epic medal is very rare unless you do pulls during the Epic Medal Carnivals.  Even then, there are already tons of Epics and it’s hard to get the same one seven times.  
Tier 4+: Premium - 6* only - They are available exclusively through medal draws and Ranked events, and are consistently the best medals in the game.  Guilting them is a real show of ability and/or luck.

Here’s an example of what a Tier 4 Guilt looks like on a medal:

So now that you know what Guilt is, we should talk about how to get it!  Obviously you need 7 of each medal type, but leveling seven medals to 6* and combining them sounds like a pain, doesn’t it?  In order for the orbs to fill, the combined medals have to be the same star.  That is, a 5* Mickey when combined with a 6* Mickey won’t give you an orb, and you will have wasted a good Mickey!  Only a 6* can be combined with a 6*, 5* with 5*, and so on.  But there are limitations!

1*: 0 orbs
2*: 0 orbs
3*: 1 orb
4*: 2 orbs
5*: 3 orbs
6*: 5 orbs and Guilt

That means you can’t combine a 1* and a 1*, you have to combine a 3* and a 3*.  Here’s an example of a 5* with only three orbs:

image

The most economical route is to combine your 7 medals together at the lowest level, so you have fewer to level up!  Obviously if you are working with Tier 3 guilt medals, it becomes less complicated as they start at 5*, or even LESS complicated with Tier 4, since everything is 6* already.  Here’s a great infographic from KHinsider on the optimum way to guilt medals.

As you can see, you always need 7 of the medal you want.  Combining two medals together that already have an orb will actually add an additional orb (for the one holding the orb)!  In short, a 5* with one orb combined with a 5* with one orb equals a 5* with three orbs.  That’s because there are always four medals that you’re working with.

When guilting, the ideal is a 5* with three orbs and a 5* with two orbs.  Make them both into 6*s, then combine the two.  That is 4 (medal+3) and 3 (medal+2) = 7 (medal+5+guilt).  It sounds crazy, but once you do it once, it’ll make sense.

Things to remember:
~Only combine medals that are identical - same medal ID, same medal name, same amount of stars. (The exception to this is that the level of the medal doesn’t matter.)
~DO NOT DO THIS UNTIL MISSION 200 34!! Or you won’t get guilt.  You can only get the 5 orbs.
~If you are unsure, check the preview.  It will show blinking orbs where the orbs will be filled in.
~If you get a bad roll - say, 20% on a Tier 2, when you want a 50% - leveling up another 6* and combining it /again/ will re-roll your guilt.  Guilt cannot be re-rolled LOWER than what you had, so there’s no downside.  Of course, this means you will need 8 medals instead of 7.
~Magic Mirrors are given out during events.  They increase your Guilt on one medal by 1%.  So if you roll a 48% on a Tier 2, don’t worry.  You can get up to 50% with 2 Magic Mirrors.

That’s all!  Any questions, feel free to message me!

Edit: The coveted Fantasia Mickey B (Mickey & Brooms) was added to the game.  This adds one dot to any medal.  If there are five dots, it activates guilt.  If it has guilt, it rerolls guilt.  They are still very rare though so use them wisely!  Preferably on Tier 7+ medals.
