Upgrading shikigami equipment

Prioritizing upgrades
Check to see if your shikigami fights from range or if it gets hit a lot.

Ranged pets rarely get hit until your character is defeated, so you can save upgrade stones by getting those pets to lv25 and upgrading their weapons (atk/heal power first.

Which shiki should I upgrade first?
If you are lucky enough to have Ameikozu early game, prioritize his weapon first to have helpful heals until you get an orange healer upgraded to similar power to swap.

Otherwise, Karasutengu and Butterfly are best and second best blue healers. Their heals are affected by weapon upgrades as well.

Ascending (adding stars) to equipment
Once any equipment reaches lv 30, you can use items win under Team activities to greatly increase their power. It is recommended to get your healer' s weapon to lv30 ASAP.

Boss tickets and fragments
Save boss tickets until you can farm for Ameikozu fragments or fragments for your existing healer.

When you join a guild, you can use Guild Sacrifice 3 to buy Anoando fragments from the guild shop for 200 magatama a day. You can also by fragments based on your involvement in guild wars and quests. Anoando is the best end game healer tank in game.
