Illusion Connect Re Progression Guide — Leveling Path from Noob to Endgame
Updated 2026-06-04
Illusion Connect Re Progression Path
Progression in Illusion Connect Re is divided into four distinct phases: Early Game (Level 1-40), Mid Game (Level 40-60), Late Game (Level 60-80), and Endgame (Level 80+). This guide maps out the optimal path through each phase.
Early Game (Level 1-40): The Foundation
- Complete the story campaign up to Chapter 6 to unlock all core game modes.
- Level your main 5 Illusionists to 40 as evenly as possible.
- Upgrade gear to +6 on your carry unit. Do not invest further yet.
- Activate your first Soul Bond Guide. See soul-bond-guide for recommendations.
- Complete the tutorial for Boss Raid, Arena, and Guild.
- Save at least 80% of your Diamonds for limited banners.
Mid Game (Level 40-60): Power Spike
At this stage, you should begin Awakening your core Illusionists. The awakening-guide covers material farming routes. Prioritize awakening your main damage dealer first. The stat boost is substantial.

| Milestone | Target Level | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| First Awakening | 40-45 | Farm awakening materials from Monday/Wednesday/Friday stages |
| Gear Enhancement +10 | 45-50 | Farm gear-guide recommended stages for upgrade fodder |
| Soul Bond Guide Tier 3 | 50-55 | Collect specific Illusionists and increase their intimacy |
| Arena Gold Rank | 55-60 | Use pvp-arena-guide strategies to climb |
Late Game (Level 60-80): Specialization
Begin specializing your roster for specific content. Build separate teams for Boss Raid Guide (tier-list), Arena, and story-campaign-guide stages. Gear optimization becomes critical. Prioritize correct main stats over set bonuses.
Endgame (Level 80+): Min-Maxing
Endgame is about small optimization gains: perfect substat rolls, full Awakening trees, max Soul Bond Guide levels, and Limited Banner collection. Check event-guide for time-limited events that accelerate endgame progression.

FAQ
- How long does it take to reach level 60?
- With consistent daily play (30-45 minutes per day), you can reach level 60 in approximately 3-4 weeks.
- What should I prioritize after level 60?
- Focus on Awakening your core Illusionists, optimizing gear substats, and climbing Arena for weekly Diamond income.
- Is it worth refreshing stamina with Diamonds?
- Yes, up to 3 refreshes per day. Beyond that, the cost increases to 100 Diamonds per refresh, which is not worth it for free-to-play players.
