Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road Beginner’s Guide | Gameplay Tips & Tricks

You need effective strategies for team development and resource management in Inazuma Eleven Victory Road before you start the main story. This guide will help you with five direct methods to acquire resources and use game mechanics effectively.

Tip #1: Get Custom Tactics

If you primarily play Chronicle Mode and Competition Mode, you will need custom tactics. Go to the Main Menu and enter the BB Stadium. Select the Campaign mode. You must choose a team and play seven consecutive games against the AI. 

Completing campaigns earns currency. Spend this currency at the Marketplace in the BB M section to purchase four custom tactics. Use this method if you plan to delay story progression but still need tactics in Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road.

Tip #2: Farm Kizuna Orbs

Kizuna Orbs allow you to pull heroes from the Player Universe. While Chronicle Competition Route sometimes drops two Orbs per Hero Battle, this is not efficient, as five Orbs are required for one pull. The most reliable way to get Kizuna Orbs is by playing online Competition Matches. 

You get five Orbs for every match, no matter how it ends. When you play online games, your team levels up quickly. Chronicle Mode, on the other hand, needs certain original characters, so it's still hard, and your main squad gains from being at a higher level in different modes. To get Kizuna Orbs and heroes, you need to play ranked matches in Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road.

Tip #3: Use Beans Strategically

If you're using Beans in Chronicle Mode, don't give them to the whole team in Team Settings. This makes the stat boost spread out too much. Focusing on individual players is a more effective approach. Adding Beans to your Keeper will always provide value because it increases their Catch number.

Concentrate Kick Beans on your main forward to significantly increase their Kick Power. Focus on maxing out the Beans for one or two players first before moving on to others. Do not distribute Beans slowly across the entire team; concentration provides a greater increase in stats.

Tip #4: Use VS Store Currency

The VS Store in the Marketplace sells items like XP Orbs and gear using blue, orange, and purple tokens. To get these tokens, you must defeat Chronicle Teams in the Chronicle Competition Route, which unlocks them for Free Match in Competition Mode. 

Defeating the Chronicle Mode version up to Hero Battle difficulty unlocks different rarities of the team. In Competition Mode, select Free Match. 

Choosing a higher-tier match (like the Legendary Hero tier) increases the chance of receiving higher-tier tokens when you win Focus Battles. Use this to acquire equipment that improves your team's performance.

Tip #5: Understand Mixi Max and Keshin

Avatars (Keshin), Mixi Max, and Auras are transformation mechanics that boost player stats. Player Capabilities: Check a player's Ability Learn Board to find their Avatar, Avatar Armor (Keshin), and Mixi Max unlock paths. Auras serve a similar function for original players. 

Adding Abilities: If a player has a Special/Hyper Move Slot on their Ability Learn Board, you can equip a spare Keshin or other hyper moves there. Acquiring Spares: Visit the Spirit Market in the Marketplace and go to Hyper Moves in Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road.

You can trade required spirits for various hyper moves, including some Avatars. In-Game Commands: In the Team Dock, use Hyper Move Commands to assign up to four moves to quick slots. Activate them instantly during a match by pressing L1 and R1. Usage Requirement: Using an Avatar, Mixi Max, or Aura requires a full blue Tension Bar. 

Activation consumes this bar. Be careful not to transform when your Shots Meter (tension meter) is empty, as you need tension to use special shots. Avatar Armor provides stat boosts and makes moves powerful. Use the Hyper Hotkeys to instantly activate Mixi Max for quick shot chains, reducing the steps involved.
