Introduction[]
In the game, CSC Cores are what make up the AI of Busou Shinki. To the players, though, they are more a way to build a Shinki in a specific way so that the Shinki will grow with certain stats increasing more than others, or to excel in levels or abilities. There are many different CSC Cores that do different things.
How to get CSC Cores[]
When you get a new Shinki (through the access code or SPT purchase), four basic CSC cores (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and Topaz) will be added to your inventory.
Various achievements (both repeatable and non-repeatable) also rewards different CSC cores upon completion.
All CSC cores can be exchanged to/from gems through Shinki Shop at different exchange ratio.
In most of the events, such as Summer/Winter Festa, various CSC cores were given (often at random) as rewards for completing a (often repeatable) stage.
Platinum card users can re-visit given past events and complete stages for various CSC cores.
List of CSC Cores[]
Single Status Increasing CSC Cores[]
Single status increasing CSC cores will increase a stat faster than stats without status boosting cores.
Ruby - Increases attack.
Sapphire - Increases accuracy.
Emerald - Increases dodge.
Topaz - Increases guard.
Double Status Increasing CSC Cores[]
Double status increasing cores increase the Shinki's status like the single status increasing cores, but while not increasing to the same extent, they will help increase two different statuses. These CSC cores will also decrease the two statuses that they don't improve.
Garnet - Increases both attack and accuracy.
Bloodstone - Increases both accuracy and dodge.
Lapis Lazuli - Increases both attack and guard.
Other CSC Cores[]
These CSC cores are more complex than the stat increasing ones, and come with various different traits.
Aquamarine - Increases under water performance.
Peridot - Increases night vision.
Malachite - Increases mobility.
Amethyst - Increases SP growth.
Onyx - Increases LP growth.
Zircon - Increases weight. (Reduces movement and knockback. Better in low gravity environment.)
Opal - Increases performance in multiple environments (under water, in darkness and in low gravity).
Moonstone - Increases attack, accuracy, dodge and guard.
Diamond - Raises the Shinki's maximum level by 30 or 60 levels; will also decrease status growth on everything.
Jade - Increases stun resistance and one status.
Amber - Increases knockdown resistance and one status.
Black opal - Increases both LP and SP growth.
