| Step | Book level | Total Book XP | Yul | Spell Pages | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Awaken I | 10 | 324 | 922 | 1 | Boar Meat 6 · Clear Water 6 |
| Awaken II | 20 | 2,649 | 12,300 | 5 | Boar Meat 49 · Clear Water 105 · Stone Crust 148 |
| Awaken III | 30 | 6,474 | 83,025 | None | Ancient Sap 308 · Earth Root 215 · Stone Crust 351 |

| Awaken V | 50 | 18,624 | 1,522,740 | None | Ancient Sap 824 · Earth Root 455 · Golden Leaf 1,009 · Stone Crust 320 |
Chain shares this 1,973,227 Yul total with Lightning, Plant, Poison, Earth; only the materials differ. Each awakening multiplies damage (1.13× at I up to 1.84× at V) and raises crit chance to 20% and crit damage to 60%.
Where to farm Chain materials
Materials drop from chests on their home island and can also be bought one at a time in the material shop. Totals below cover Awaken I to V.
| Material | Total needed | Home island | Shop price (Yul each) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clear Water | 111 | Starter | 650 |
| Boar Meat | 55 | Starter | 600 |
| Stone Crust | 1,409 | Skull | 2,250 |
| Earth Root | 670 | Skull | 2,450 |
| Ancient Sap | 1,673 | Zombie (from the Rades waves) | 6,000 |
| Golden Leaf | 1,550 | Castle | 14,100 |
Buying every material in the shop would cost 36,809,900 Yul on top of the awakening fees, so farming the island chests saves the most. See the Clover Legends islands guide for level ranges and chest odds.
Best Chain build and tips
- Pull a target with Hook Pull, then trap it with Iron Cage
- Place Chain Overload where the cage will hold enemies
- Its 64-mana rotation is the highest of the Rare books but still fits in the base 100-mana pool
- Stats: The 64-mana rotation fits in the base 100-mana pool, so every point can go into Melee or Magic (they add the same damage) and Defense. Stats guide
- Race: Devil-family races add the most damage; High Elf (−25% cooldown) helps books with long cooldowns. Race tier list
Chain vs Lightning
Lightning deals more sustained damage and is free on day 2. Chain wins on control with Hook Pull and Iron Cage.
