This page is about the Employees' general information and their section in the CEO Office. For a list of all the available Employees, check here .
General[]
Employees are the characters you will be using throughout the game to participate in battles. To use an Employee you must first recruit her, which can be done by opening their resumes via the CEO Office, acquire them randomly by completing Main Quests or sometimes get them as a reward from the Missions tab. When you start the game, you will have one available Employee, Monique Waroquier, as well as another one that you'll get to choose from a free daily resume, but as you play the game you'll earn even more, There are 8 types of employees:
- Fighter
- Warrior
- Ronin
- Soldier
- Cleric
- Magician
- Rogue
Each class has their own special Equipment and the Skills they can use changes with the weapons they equip. The number of stars a given employee starts off with varies from one to the next. By having an Employee particiapte in Quests or Battlefield or Takeovers, they will earn EXP and will eventually level up. Depending on an Employee's initial amount of stars, once they reach a certain level, they will be ready for a Class UP. This will allow them to level up past their capped level, it will also level up their class and raise their limit abilities. You can click the lock icon on each of the characters' screens to lock them so that they can't be laid off or used in takeovers. By clicking the lock again you can unlock them.
Employees Tab[]
From the CEO Office you can access the Employees' tab, where you can view every Employee you currently have in your company and equip them however you like with weapons, armor and accessories you have crafted. The tab looks like this:
You can see the total number of Employees you currently have as well as the maximum number you are allowed to have (can be increased by leveling up your Headquarters in the Facilities section). You can also sort the way you can view your Employees
- Most Rare
- Least Rare
- Most Stars
- Least Stars
- Company Tenure (who joined last up to who joined first)
- Assignment
- Highest Level
- Lower Level
- Class
- Name
When you select an Employee, you can do a few things with her.
You can lock/unlock her by clicking the lock next to her name. Locking an Employee protects her from accidentaly kicking her off the company or "Layoff" her as the game mentions. By choosing the "Layoff" option you can kick an Employee off your company in exchange for some of her class' Class UP materials, needed to further upgrade your Employees past their capped level. At the bottom left of the screen you can choose the Collective Layoff option when you want to fire multiple Employees from your company. Employees that are locked cannot be Layoff'd and need to be unlocked first. The rewards you get for "Layoffs" are the following:
- 1 Class Shard for each 1* Employee
- 3 Class Shard for each 2* Employee
- 1 Class Ore for each 3* Employee
- 2 Class Ores for each 4* Employee
- 1 Class Crystal for each 5* Employee
- ? Class Crystals for each 6* Employee
- ? Class Crystals for each 7* Employee
The Transfer option will take you to the Takeover section. Additionally, you can see an Employee's Stats, her Skills depending on where you place her in your party formation, the Strategy she uses when she's set as Leader in your party, whethere she is assigned to any of your parties or facilities as well as her current equipment.

Once an employee is eligible for Class UP the button will be activated on the Employee Screen. You need a fair amount of gold too before you can Class UP an employee of yours. Also, the Employees' 3D appearance will change when you perform a Class UP.
Awakening[]
In Takeovers, an Employee will take the place of another Employee that is retiring from the company. If the retiree and takeover candidate are the same character, they will be "awakened" and receive status and HP bonuses.
