Joseimuke is an all-encompassing term for media targeted towards general female audience. It is an umbrella term for genres such as otome, yaoi, shojo manga, etc. Otomemuke ("otome"; maiden) games are a genre that feature romance between the female lead character and her male love interests. The actual gameplay itself varies from title to title. A simple rule of thumb is that all otome is joseimuke, but not all joseimuke are otome.

The actual gameplay itself varies from title to title. A simple rule of thumb is that all otome is joseimuke, but not all joseimuke is otome.  


Aspects where Tears of Themis is an otome, is gameplay to build affection with each of the male leads and experience character-focused story, but it does not affect the main story.
Traditional otome mechanics at play in Tears of Themis include increasing the male leads' affection to unlock personal storylines. These personal stories, as well as events and card stories, focus on the developing romances between the main character and the four male leads.


For a more in-depth overview of the topic, this article by Otome Obsessed offers an excellent break down of the distinctions in terminology: https://otomeobsessed.com/why-you-think-a-joseimuke-is-an-otome-game/
Traditional otome mechanics that are ''missing'' include route-based gameplay (while there are "soft routes" at play in the form of mutually exclusive timelines, the player is never asked to choose between them) and collection of good/bad/neutral story endings. Additionally, note the main story is on a "neutral" or common timeline, with the relationships kept in the background as the main character and four male leads solve the mystery of the X-NOTE.

Appeal in Tears of Themis lies in it's plot, design, and romantic elements. The game plays like a visual novel as the main plot of the story is less focused on romantic development and more on the detective mystery aesthetic. There are also a collection element through obtaining cards and art through evolving collected cards.

Unlike Genshin Impact, Tears of Themis does not have an open world and there are no avatars to control.  It is a visual novel with card collection by means of the gacha.

MLQC and Tears of Themis are similar in how they are structured. Cards are obtained through the gacha (and occasional events) and used to beat mission quests and other objectives to progress through the main plot and side stories.

The game was initially released in global (late July 2021) with Episodes 1 to 5(I) of the [[Main Story]]. Each male love interest also has their own [[Character Stories]], where at release, two chapters were available. New [[Main Story]] episodes and [[Character Stories]] chapters are periodically added in the game. For a beginner player, an early common route can be found here: [[Suggested Reading Order]].


Cards of SR and SSR rarity also come with side stories specific to the artwork of that card that consist of various sections each.
Cards of SR and SSR rarity come with side stories specific to the artwork of that card. Card stories generally do not affect the Main Story, and the order they are read will be based on their release order or more generally, the relationship status of the Main Character and the Male Lead (e.g. "not yet in a relationship" cards to "in a relationship" cards).


Progress in completing the available content will be dependent on a player's card collection and regulated by the limited nature of resources like stamina, but eventually most long-term players will complete all available main story and personal story content and be left to focus on card collection-related tasks, mini-games, and events while waiting for new content updates.

=== Are any of the choices in the story permanent, and will the story change depending on what I pick (for ex: if one guy is picked over another) ===
=== Do the choices I pick affect the story permanently? ===
At the time of publishing, there’s no indication that anything you choose will have a long-term effect on the story or is irreversible, nor does the game force you to choose one love interest over the others.

The romance development in Tears of Themis is highly dependent on the collection of cards for the love interests, from the permanently available set of cards as well as from time-limited events that occur regularly. Otherwise, though, the romances are fixed, meaning that you can pursue any (or all) of the characters without being locked into a ‘route’ and affecting your progress with the other characters or causing the development of the overall story to change somehow.

In some events, however, the player may have to choose between completing content for different love interests.  This does not affect the main story though, and players will usually have the ability to complete the previously unchosen content after advancing far enough into their selected item.

No. They will stay around indefinitely/forever until you complete them.
[[Shadows of Themis]] are card banners. Currently, there's Permanent Shadows of Themis, Rotation Shadows of Themis, and Event-Exclusive Shadows of Themis.


==== What should my game progression be like? ====
It is recommended to begin with pulling for the guaranteed SSR in 30 pulls on the permanent banner. Thereafter, it is recommended to save currency and pull for your favourite. Events occur time to time, so if unsure, it is good to save for the future.


Focus your energy on the Main Story. There are some features that Main Story unlocks like NXX HQ that'll help with the resource grind, so you want to focus your energy here and try to get as far as you can here up through at least up to Ep. 5 (I).
==== How does pity work? Is there a soft pity in the game? ====


There are some stages where you will hit a wall though, and if you don't have the Gold/EXP to level them up, you will have to switch gears and refocus your energy on Anomaly stages/Trials of Themis/Temple of Trials to grind Gold/EXP/evolve mats to upgrade your cards.
The guaranteed pity count is NOT shared across different types of banners.


Once your cards are strong enough again, then you can start using energy on Main Story again and basically repeat the cycle.
An SR card or higher is guaranteed within 10 draws.


After you're finished with Main Story, you can look into continuing the grind to level up your cards in preparation for future chapters.
On birthday banners, an SSR card is guaranteed within 90 draws.


==== What should I spend Friendship Badges on? ====
On most types of banners, an SSR card is guaranteed within 100 draws.

==== How many {{Currency|S-Chip}} will I need to hit pity? Does banner pity carry over? ====

180 S-Chip = 1 Pull, so 18,000 S-Chips = 100 Pulls.


==== How do I get the blue Judgement Badge? How do I get other badges? ====
For 4 SSR Event Exclusive banners, pity carries over to rerun of the same banner.
It was only available to Closed Beta users who completed all their Closed Beta tasks in May. It is no longer obtainable.


Other badges are obtainable during various events. Check the [Wiki page on Badges](https://tot.wiki/wiki/Badges) for a list of all badges and how to obtain them.

==== What are the card rarities? What are their differences? ====


Yes! Go to the [ToT miHoYo website](https://tot.mihoyo.com) and click the Top Up option on the banner.

==== What are the best purchases if I want to minnow/dolphin/whale? ====
==== Do SSR/SR/R cards rerun? How long does it take before a card gets rerun? ====


If you're looking to spend, the best purchases typically are the Monthly Pass and the Investment Fund.
SSR and SR cards that originally run in [[Shadows_of_Themis#Event_Exclusive:_2_SSR|2-SSR Event Exclusive Shadow of Themis]] may rerun in Rotation Shadow of Themis and in other banners later. It may take a number of months before they are rerun.


The Investment Fund is more of a long-term purchase though, as it requires you to get to Level 80 in order to obtain the full rewards, which may take several months.
SSR cards that originally run in [[Shadows_of_Themis#Event_Exclusive:_4_SSR|4-SSR Event Exclusive Shadow of Themis]] usually rerun a year later. This includes anniversary cards.


There is also the Welcome Gift, where you can buy any amount of gems ($0.99) for materials and a free SR.
Birthday SSR cards rerun every year during the male lead's birthday.


If you're looking to maximize Gem -> S-Chip Conversions, look for packs that offer a better ratio than the standard 1 Gem -> 10 S-Chip or 18 Gems -> 180 S-Chips -> 1 Tears of Themis ratio, such as the limited-time event pack conversions (e.g. During release, there was a pack that offered 1 Gem -> 40 S-Chips).
<!--Some event-limited SR cards may become obtainable again through XXXXX.-->
Free event-limited R cards may become obtainable again through limited-time mall exchange during rerun of the event.


==== I purchased gems and claimed the Welcome Gift but didn't claim the SR, help! ====
Please check [[Shadows of Themis]] for more details.


The item to claim the SR card will be in your Inventory.
==== Do MR cards rerun? ====


==== What is Shadows of Themis? ====
MR cards that originally ran with "[[Events#Lucky_Bingo_Events|MR Bingo]]" type event can become obtainable again during the rerun of the same event.


Shadow of Themis is the name the game calls card banners.
MR cards that originally run with [[Events#Special_Consultations|Special Consultations]] type event can become obtainable again on the next Special Consultation of the same male lead.


==== What should I pull on? ====
MR cards will typically cost a bit higher during rerun.


It is recommended to begin with pulling for the guaranteed SSR in 30 pulls on the permanent banner. Thereafter, it is recommended to save currency and pull for your favourite. Events occur time to time, so if unsure, it is good to save for the future.

==== How does pity work? ====
==== What is P-Points? How to get SR Thin Veil and SSR Matching Tattoos? ====


On most banners, you will get a guaranteed new SSR at 100 pulls. If you pull an SSR you already own on rate-up, your pity will not reset.
Every time you make a purchase, you will receive P-Points corresponding to the amount you spent (1 USD = 6 P-Points).


==== How many S-Chips will I need to hit pity? ====
SR Thin Veil and SSR Matching Tattoos are cards only obtainable through P-Points and are not available anywhere else in the game. The first costs 100 USD and the second costs approximately 833 USD.


180 S-Chip = 1 Pull, so 18000 S-Chips = 100 Pulls.

==== How should I level my cards? ====
==== How should I level my cards? Can I focus only on cards of one character? ====


Early on, leveling your cards equally is more effective than hard focusing on a single card. Depending on the level you get stuck on, you may want to focus on cards with attributes strong against the boss.
Leveling your cards equally is more effective than hard focusing on a single card. Early on, it is recommended to level your SSR and SR to Lv. 70/100, and R cards to Lv. 40/70 instead of raising them all the way to Lv. 100/100  or Lv. 70/70. This is because it takes more materials to level higher-level cards than lower-lever ones, and your deck will be stronger overall if you have multiple leveled cards vs. a single strong card.

==== Can I focus on only cards for one character? ====
 
Some stages force you to use characters from a single character only (e.g. Character Stories, Birthday events), so unless you plan on skipping out on these character stories/events, it is still recommended to eventually level them.

General[edit | edit source]

What is Tears of Themis?[edit | edit source]

Tears of Themis is a mobile otome game for Android and iOS developed by Chinese game developer miHoYo, notably also the creators of mobile RPG Genshin Impact. The game was first released in The Chinese Mainland (29th July, 2020, pubilished by miHoYo), with the Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan server(published by NIJIGEN) release date on 20th August, 2020 and the global server(published by HoYoVerse) release date on 29th July, 2021.

What is joseimuke and why do I frequently see this game and similar games in this genre labeled as otome?[edit | edit source]

Joseimuke is an all-encompassing term for media targeted towards female audiences in general. It is an umbrella term for genres such as otome, yaoi, shojo manga, etc. Otomemuke ("otome": maiden) games are a genre that features romance between the female lead character and her male love interests. The actual gameplay itself varies from title to title. A simple rule of thumb is that all otome is joseimuke, but not all joseimuke is otome.

Traditional otome mechanics at play in Tears of Themis include increasing the male leads' affection to unlock personal storylines. These personal stories, as well as events and card stories, focus on the developing romances between the main character and the four male leads.

Traditional otome mechanics that are missing include route-based gameplay (while there are "soft routes" at play in the form of mutually exclusive timelines, the player is never asked to choose between them) and collection of good/bad/neutral story endings. Additionally, note the main story is on a "neutral" or common timeline, with the relationships kept in the background as the main character and four male leads solve the mystery of the X-NOTE.

For a more in-depth overview of the topic, this article by Otome Obsessed offers an excellent break down of the distinctions in terminology.

What is the point / objective / appeal of this game? Why should I play it?[edit | edit source]

Appeal in Tears of Themis lies in its plot, design, and romantic elements. The game plays like a visual novel as the main plot of the story is less focused on romantic development and more on the detective mystery aesthetic. There are also a collection element through obtaining cards and art through evolving collected cards.

How is this game different from Genshin Impact?[edit | edit source]

Unlike Genshin Impact, Tears of Themis does not have an open world, and there are no avatars to control. It is a visual novel with card collection by means of the gacha.

How is this game different from Mr. Love: Queen’s Choice or similar games?[edit | edit source]

MLQC and Tears of Themis are similar in how they are structured. Cards are obtained through the gacha (and occasional events) and used to beat mission quests and other objectives to progress through the main plot and side stories.

Can I change the gender of the MC?[edit | edit source]

No, the MC is a fixed character with a female gender that cannot be changed.

How long is the story? Is there a suggested reading order?[edit | edit source]

The game was initially released in global (late July 2021) with Episodes 1 to 5(I) of the Main Story. Each male love interest also has their own Character Stories, where at release, two chapters were available. New Main Story episodes and Character Stories chapters are periodically added in the game. For a beginner player, an early common route can be found here: Suggested Reading Order.

Cards of SR and SSR rarity come with side stories specific to the artwork of that card. Card stories generally do not affect the Main Story, and the order they are read will be based on their release order or more generally, the relationship status of the Main Character and the Male Lead (e.g. "not yet in a relationship" cards to "in a relationship" cards).

Progress in completing the available content will be dependent on a player's card collection and regulated by the limited nature of resources like stamina, but eventually most long-term players will complete all available main story and personal story content and be left to focus on card collection-related tasks, mini-games, and events while waiting for new content updates.

Do the choices I pick affect the story permanently?[edit | edit source]

At the time of publishing, there’s no indication that anything you choose will have a long-term effect on the story or is irreversible, nor does the game force you to choose one love interest over the others.

The romance development in Tears of Themis is highly dependent on the collection of cards for the love interests, from the permanently available set of cards as well as from time-limited events that occur regularly. Otherwise, though, the romances are fixed, meaning that you can pursue any (or all) of the characters without being locked into a ‘route’ and affecting your progress with the other characters or causing the development of the overall story to change somehow.

In some events, however, the player may have to choose between completing content for different love interests. This does not affect the main story though, and players will usually have the ability to complete the previously unchosen content after advancing far enough into their selected item.

Where can I buy miHoYo/Tears of Themis merchandise?[edit | edit source]

Please visit miHoYo Tmall for merchandise.

I'm out of Btn coin s.pngStellin / Oracle of Justice! How to get more?[edit | edit source]

  • Complete your Business and Operations dailies in Legal Studies.
  • Do Anomaly Stages / Temple of Trials / Trials of Themis.
  • Always claim your NXX Headquarters Resource Requisition (unlocked after completing Main Story 04-02).
  • Exchange in Exchange Shops using Friendship Badge, Case Report and Astral Memory

What should I spend Btn fp s.pngFriendship Badge on?[edit | edit source]

You can spend it on whichever resource you are lacking.

Do Rookie Tasks disappear?[edit | edit source]

No, they will stay around indefinitely/forever until you have completed all tasks and claimed all rewards.

What should my game progression be like?[edit | edit source]

It is recommended to complete Main Story episode 4 to unlock NXX Headquarters and its features, which helps with resource gains and deck strength. When you cannot progress further, you should focus on grinding Stellins, Oracles, and evolve Chips to power up your deck. Once your cards are strong enough again, you resume Main Story and repeat the cycle.

After you have finished the Main Story, you can look into continuing the grind to level up your cards in preparation for future chapters.

It is also worth doing Anomaly stages daily for card fragments as there is a limit of 3 tries/stage/day.

You should also try to progress Trials of Themis which will raise the S-Chip cap that you can earn weekly from Temple of Trials.

Gacha / Shadows of Themis / Cards[edit | edit source]

What is Shadows of Themis? What should I pull on?[edit | edit source]

Shadows of Themis are card banners. Currently, there's Permanent Shadows of Themis, Rotation Shadows of Themis, and Event-Exclusive Shadows of Themis.

It is recommended to begin with pulling for the guaranteed SSR in 30 pulls on the permanent banner. Thereafter, it is recommended to save currency and pull for your favourite. Events occur time to time, so if unsure, it is good to save for the future.

How does pity work? Is there a soft pity in the game?[edit | edit source]

The guaranteed pity count is NOT shared across different types of banners.

An SR card or higher is guaranteed within 10 draws.

On birthday banners, an SSR card is guaranteed within 90 draws.

On most types of banners, an SSR card is guaranteed within 100 draws.

Please check the Shadows of Themis Types page for detailed rules on guaranteed pity count for each type of banner. You can also click on Probability on each banner to read detailed explanation of the banner pity and to view the card pool.

There is no soft pity in the game.

How many Btn money s.pngS-Chip will I need to hit pity? Does banner pity carry over?[edit | edit source]

180 S-Chip = 1 Pull, so 18,000 S-Chips = 100 Pulls.

For 4 SSR Event Exclusive banners, pity carries over to rerun of the same banner.

For other banners, banner pity will carry over to next banners of the same type. For example, Rotation banners to Rotation banners.

Please check the Shadows of Themis - Pity page for more details.

Does it matter if I do single/ten-pulls?[edit | edit source]

No, there is no difference doing single/ten-pulls. The pity counter to getting an SR/SSR in 10/100 will be the same regardless of single or ten-pulls.

What are the card rarities? What are their differences?[edit | edit source]

There are 4 card rarities: SSR, SR, MR, and R. Please check Card Rarity for more details.

Do SSR/SR/R cards rerun? How long does it take before a card gets rerun?[edit | edit source]

SSR and SR cards that originally run in 2-SSR Event Exclusive Shadow of Themis may rerun in Rotation Shadow of Themis and in other banners later. It may take a number of months before they are rerun.

SSR cards that originally run in 4-SSR Event Exclusive Shadow of Themis usually rerun a year later. This includes anniversary cards.

Birthday SSR cards rerun every year during the male lead's birthday.

Free event-limited R cards may become obtainable again through limited-time mall exchange during rerun of the event.

Please check Shadows of Themis for more details.

Do MR cards rerun?[edit | edit source]

MR cards that originally ran with "MR Bingo" type event can become obtainable again during the rerun of the same event.

MR cards that originally run with Special Consultations type event can become obtainable again on the next Special Consultation of the same male lead.

MR cards will typically cost a bit higher during rerun.

Mall[edit | edit source]

Can I top-up outside the App Store / Play Store?[edit | edit source]

Yes, you can visit Tears of Themis official website and click the Top Up option on the banner.

What is P-Points? How to get SR Thin Veil and SSR Matching Tattoos?[edit | edit source]

Every time you make a purchase, you will receive P-Points corresponding to the amount you spent (1 USD = 6 P-Points).

SR Thin Veil and SSR Matching Tattoos are cards only obtainable through P-Points and are not available anywhere else in the game. The first costs 100 USD and the second costs approximately 833 USD.

Please see Mall for a list of total purchase rewards and their estimated USD rate.

What should I buy in the mall?[edit | edit source]

If you're looking to spend, the best purchases typically are the Monthly Pass and the Investment Fund.

The Investment Fund is more of a long-term purchase though, as it requires you to get to Level 80 in order to obtain the full rewards, which may take several months.

There is also the Welcome Gift, where you can buy any amount of Gems ($0.99) for materials and a free SR.

If you're looking to maximize Gem -> S-Chip Conversions, look for packs that offer a better ratio than the standard 1 Gem -> 10 S-Chip or 18 Gems -> 180 S-Chips -> 1 Tears of Themis ratio, such as the limited-time event pack conversions (e.g. During release, there was a pack that offered 1 Gem -> 40 S-Chips).

I purchased Btn money2 s.pngGem and claimed the Welcome Gift but didn't claim the SR![edit | edit source]

You can go to Home Screen > Profile > Inventory to exchange for your SR.

Deck-building[edit | edit source]

How do debate stages work? What do cards do?[edit | edit source]

Please visit debate mechanics and card mechanics to learn more about the game mechanics.

What is Influence? What are arguments?[edit | edit source]

Influence is the Attack stat in the game. Arguments are essentially the enemy's arguments that you deal damage to when selecting a card.

How should I level my cards? Can I focus only on cards of one character?[edit | edit source]

Leveling your cards equally is more effective than hard focusing on a single card. Early on, it is recommended to level your SSR and SR to Lv. 70/100, and R cards to Lv. 40/70 instead of raising them all the way to Lv. 100/100 or Lv. 70/70. This is because it takes more materials to level higher-level cards than lower-lever ones, and your deck will be stronger overall if you have multiple leveled cards vs. a single strong card.

Depending on the level you get stuck on, you may want to focus on cards with attributes strong against the boss.

Some stages force you to use characters from a single character only (e.g. Character Stories, Birthday events), so unless you plan on skipping out on these character stories/events, it is still recommended to eventually level every character's cards.

What do support decks do?[edit | edit source]

A portion of the support deck card's stats will be applied, strengthening your overall deck (as how much damage you do is also affected by your overall deck strength).

The only two skills that activate when placed in the Support Deck are the Formidable skill and Progressive skill, these are unlocked by evolving R cards.

Other skills (even passive boosts) must be in the Primary Deck to activate.

What skills should I focus on? Do card buffs stack?[edit | edit source]

It is typically recommended to focus on offensive skills. Some offensive skills include:

  • Layer by Layer - Boosts Influence (Attack) % of all cards for X turns.
  • Preemptive Strike - Selfish offensive skill that makes a card do more % damage.
  • Attribute Buffing Cards - Boosts Influence % of <Attribute> cards for X turns.

Yes, card buffs do stack.

Do choices affect the story / text messages / calls?[edit | edit source]

Are all card stories voiced? How do I unlock video calls / text messages?[edit | edit source]

All SSR card stories are fully voiced. Most SR card stories are partially voiced at the CG portion of the story if you are using CN voice; for other voice packs, there may be no voice available at the moment.

Some chapters of card stories will unlock video calls/text messages. This is denoted by a call/message bubble symbol on the card story chapter.

What are Private Messages? How do I listen to Private Messages?[edit | edit source]

Main Story SR cards and MR cards have Private Messages. These feature short ASMR-like audio that the player can listen to. In the beginner Vision tutorial with Davis, one SR containing private messages will be randomly drawn. SR cards with Private Messages include:

Players can level the card to Lv. 40 to unlock Private Message 01 and Lv. 70 to unlock Private Message 02.

What are Blossom Chapters and Sweet Chapters? Can I replay Sweet Chapters?[edit | edit source]

Blossom Chapters and Sweet Chapters are permanently-available Character Stories focusing on one male lead only. They are accessed from the Visit page.
