How to Unlock New Characters in Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp

Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp offers a new spin on the Danganronpa series, and players can unlock multiple different characters to play and level up. Unlike previous games in the series, Danganronpa S is a board game and is an expanded version of the Ultimate Talent Development Plan board game from Danganronpa V3. In Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, the player will have the opportunity to fight unique, Monokuma-inspired monsters, and witness interactions between characters from every main Danganronpa game who haven’t been able to meet each other otherwise.

In Development Mode of Danganronpa S, players are able to select a main character from any of the main series Danganronpa games to play. Certain characters have different skills; however, the main appeal of using different characters is the chance to witness all the new friendship events between the beloved Ultimates of the series. Thus, players are going to need to unlock new characters if they want to experience all the game has to offer.

In Danganronpa S, players can choose any character from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, or Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony to play in Development Mode. These characters are made stronger by playing the board game in Development Mode and can then be used to fight monsters in Battle Mode. Each character has four possible versions players can obtain and play, each rarer than the previous one.

Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp Uses Gacha Mechanics

Danganronpa S runs on a gacha system similar to Genshin Impact, meaning players unlock new characters through a luck-based gambling system. Characters are unlocked at different machines, which can be accessed by clicking the School Store mode on the main page. Players need various types of coins to use these machines, which can be earned by completing tasks and challenges during Development and Battle mode. Players can look at all these challenges in the Usami Flower tab and see the rewards for each challenge.

Players can gamble for new characters on three different Danganronpa S machines: the MonoMono Machine, the Golden MonoMono Machine, and the MonoMono Yachine. Each of these machines takes a different form of in-game currency and provides different rewards. The regular MonoMono Machine takes regular silver Monocoins, and players have the chance to earn any character at any rarity level. The Golden MonoMono Machine takes Gold Monocoins and guarantees the player gets a rarer character card. The MonoMono Yachine takes Monomicoins and has increased rates of pulling rarer character cards; however, it also has high chances of yielding other prizes besides new characters.

Players who are struggling to pull the character or character version they want can use the Vending Machine, located to the left of all the MonoMachines. From here, players can select any version of any character from any of the games and use real-world money to purchase them. This is not necessary to unlock all the characters, but it’s a fast way to get a specific character card for those who are down on their gacha luck.

Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp is available now on the Nintendo Switch.
