OLD PAGE. GO TO THE CURRENT REGAIN PAGE HERE

As a character spends time in Kaisou, they can gain (or regain) different perks. These come in many different forms, and can either be things that came from their original canons or new items altogether, depending on what you're interested in! Instead of requesting threads for regains, a set number of regains will be obtainable each month. Each character will get a total of 4 points each month to spend on regains. Any unused points will get rolled over each month, so players can save up and spend big.

If you want to see the old regain page, you can view them here: Year 1 (2022) | Year 2 (2023)

Memory Regains
Characters who are modern AU will occasionally get flashbacks to previous lives (aka their memories from their original canon). Memory regains are triggered organically through threads and interactions, usually through repeating actions that are similar to the original memory. At this time, no one is sure why these memories are surfacing. Perhaps it indicates you are a reincarnation, or it's simply an echo from another universe.

Memory regains do not require mod approval and there is no maximum number you can regain a month.

Item, Appearance, and Ability Regains
Characters can obtain items and abilities that came from their original canon world. It must be an item or ability that the character would've reasonably been able to have access to and/or owned in their canon (No Infinity Stones for Peter Parker, in other words). You can weaken abilities to regain them at a lesser cost, and then boost their power by future regain points.

AU characters can also regain features to their appearance that they had in their original canon (OU characters don't have to bother with that as they come looking like their canon selves).

Characters may also gain new abilities that are unique to Kaisou. For more information about Kaisou's power system and the potential abilities, you can read up about it here.

THE FOLLOWING LISTED ARE FOR CANON ABILITIES AND OTHER REGAINABLE ITEMS. IF YOU WANT NEW POWERS, PLEASE CONSULT THE ELEMENTAL POWER PAGE. That is also the page to select from when picking powers for Paranormal AU backgrounds!

Refunding Gacha Goodwill purchases
If you've purchased some items from the Gacha Goodwill that you don't wish to keep, you can turn it to this post in exchange for gacha pulls. For every 2 items that you turn in, you will receive 1 gacha pull. This applies to goodwill and grab bag items. While there's no minimum timeframe you have to hold onto these items, we will not do refunds on days Goodwill is open.

If you wish to refund other items that WEREN'T purchased at the goodwill, you can do so over at the Gacha Goodwill when it's open.

If you wish to do so, please fill out this form:
Goodwill Refund Form


Re-Regains
Players who previously dropped a character and then re-apped has the option to pay half price (or rounded to the nearest whole number) for any regains they previously bought before. Re-Regains can apply to any abilities, items, and previously obtained gacha winnings.

Regain Community Pool
Wish to obtain a regain but lack the points for it? Starting The mod team is offering a pool of points that anyone can use! These points are brought in by player donations and whatever points don't get used by gacha goodwill once someone drops.

When you wish to use these points, please specify so in your comment. Limits vary based on the type of regain.

If you're looking to purchase a world regain, each player is allowed to use 8 points per month from the pool. Please specify in your comment that you're using it from the community pool!

Meanwhile during November & December 2024, we are test-piloting using the community pool for personal regains! During this test period players can use up to 4 points towards personal regains that they cannot afford either fully or partially. Just please specify in your comment that you're planning to use community pool points.

Current Community Pool Total: 148 points


If you wish to donate points to the community pool, you can! For every 6 points that players donate to the pool, they will receive a special gift as a thank you.

Donation Gifts & Form
Players can choose one of the following for their thank you gift.
  • Genshin Impact Vision (Element is up to player, limit one per character)
  • Trails series ARCUS
  • Tokyo Xanadu Soul Device
  • A Persona (limit one per character unless they're the canon equivalent of a Persona wildcard)
  • FFX-2 Dressphere
  • Friendship Power Bracelet (see gacha goodwill)
  • Free Real Estate (see gacha goodwill)
  • Unlisted Monster type (meaning your character can become a monster that's not currently listed. However this monster type will need to be mod approved)
  • One Legendary Pokemon, depowered (not Arceus or Mewtwo)


If you wish to donate, please fill out this form here


Filling out Regain Descriptions
Unfortunately, the mod team does not have the time or resources to possibly become canon familiar with every single canon out there. Because of that, when you fill out your regain descriptions: please explain it in a manner that a canon blind person can reasonably understand. For instance we don't need you to explain what a sword is, but a basic explanation of a keyblade is would help. We don't need full essays, but please try to avoid any canon terminology when a common English word will do. If you HAVE to use canon-terminology, define in your comment what it means. You can link resources to help explain, but please try to use resources that are canon-blind friendly.

Here's a guideline of typical things the mods like to know:
  • What does the item do?
  • How powerful is it?
  • Does it have any abilities that are potentially gamebreaking?
  • What are the limitations on it?
  • How big is it?

Should a regain request come off as confusing to the regain mods, the regain mods will ask once for clarification regarding the parts that confuse them. If the player is unable to clarify what the mod was confused about in their following comment, the regain will be automatically-rejected and the player will need to wait 24 hours before they can submit the regain again.

This clarification rule ONLY applies to regains that have been submitted to this page. If you want to talk to a mod about questions you have with the regain before you submit, you're free to do so either on the FAQ page or in the Mod Questions channel in the discord.

When Should I Expect My Regains to Get Approved?
The regain mod team hold office hours from 2pm EST to 4pm EST on every day EXCEPT most Tuesdays & Thursdays (except the ones that fall during busy times in the month such as when AC is going on), and major holidays (aka Christmas, New Years, etc). Sometimes regains will get approved outside of office hours, but please don't count on it. If you have questions on what days the regain office will be open, you can check the game calendar.

Occasionally if a regain request is particularly complicated, it may be put on hold while a decision about it can be made. However, even in cases like that it should take no longer than one week, so if your regain hasn't be responded to in a week - feel free to contact us and let us know because that most likely means it got missed somehow!

That said, if you need need to contact us about your regains, we ask that you do not privately contact any regain mods about your regains. If you have any questions about your regains, please use the proper channels: the game discord, the FAQ page, or the mod contact page. Thank you!

FINAL IMPORTANT NOTE: While the Activity Check is underway (typically the 28th - 30/31st) we ask that you do not comment with a regain UNLESS you have completed your AC for the current month. Once you have cleared AC, you can go purchase as you like. Thank you!

I know this one is confusing, but basically Sage uses Kardia, puts Kardion on the tank (or whoever), and every time the Sage attacks something the tank gets some HP back. It is still pretty low level.

Re: Clarification

[personal profile] scholarlywarden 2024-04-10 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Dosis is a non-elemental magic blast attack. It looks like shooting a laser, if that helps.

Eurekan Dosis lasts for 30 seconds. It is also a non-elemental attack, but has a far lower level attack- it evens out to be about the same total attack as Dosis over the duration.

Kardion is just the name used to show the link between the Kardia caster and the receiver of the buff. The amount of healing gained is relative to the power of the magic attack- so, Dosis would return a small amount of HP, while a higher level attack would return more HP. (I know this one is weird and confusing.)

Kerachole lasts for 15 seconds. It is a very small heal. edit: to add to this, the Kerachole shield makes it so anyone in the shield is hit for 10% less damage

Diagnosis is a medium heal. (i probably should have put this to be 3 points sorry)

Prognosis is a small heal (but applied to all party members).

Eukrean Diagnosis and Progonsis both heal less than their non-eurekan counterparts. The shields last either 30 seconds or until the the shield is broken (which would be about the equivalent of a medium/large amount of damage).

(I am sorry, Sage is probably the most confusing healer to explain; if it helps, it is considered a 'shield healer', meaning that it is better at preventing damage than actually healing; that's why all the heals themselves are pretty small.)
