Tamashi: Rise of Yokai: The Complete Guide to Eyougame's Anime Yokai-Slaying MMORPG

Introduction & Quick Facts

Tamashi: Rise of Yokai is a 3D anime MMORPG from Eyougame that transplants the classic open-world grind loop into a stylized Japanese folklore setting. Players step into Glamland, also called the Land of Tamashi, where humans bind contracts with spirit allies — the titular Tamashi — to push back the relentless yokai invading their world. The game launched globally on iOS and Android with multilingual support (English, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Traditional and Simplified Chinese), and it leans heavily on the formula Eyougame has refined across its catalog: three-class structure, daily-loop progression, mount and aide systems, large clan PvP, and a deep Combat Power (CP) chase.

The audience for Tamashi is straightforward — anime MMO fans who enjoy long-haul vertical progression, auto-combat conveniences, daily ritual play, and the social pressure of being on a competitive server. It rewards patience, planning, and smart spending more than it rewards twitch skill. Whether you intend to play as a casual free-to-play yokai hunter, a steady mid-spender hunting a top-50 rank, or a whale chasing server-first titles, the systems are deep enough to repay study.

This guide condenses the most useful information about classes, progression, currencies, daily routines, PvP, clan play, and top-up strategy into a single dense reference. Read it once before you commit a server, and again around level 100 when your build choices start to matter.

What is Tamashi: Rise of Yokai?

Tamashi: Rise of Yokai is a vertically progressive mobile MMORPG in the same lineage as classic Korean and Chinese 3D MMOs — think persistent servers, levelling on a treadmill of main and side quests, daily dungeons that gate gear and gems, world bosses, arena ladders, mount and wing fashion, and large guild-versus-guild siege events. What separates Tamashi from generic offerings is its lore wrapper: instead of generic high fantasy, the setting draws from Japanese folklore, featuring kappa, oni, tengu, kitsune, yurei, and other yokai pulled from centuries of yōkaigaku tradition. Your character is a demon slayer, and your spirit partners are bound Tamashi who lend you their skills.

Mechanically, you pick one of three classes — Samurai (melee bruiser/tank-hybrid with AoE), Onmyoji (glass-cannon mage with elemental burst spells and seals), or Cannoneer (ranged sustained-damage attacker using firearms and explosives). Each class has a complete skill tree, a rebirth/awakening evolution after reaching a milestone level, and unique synergies with specific Tamashi. The world is rendered in seamless 3D with auto-pathing and auto-combat, which is essential to its design philosophy: the game expects you to log in, clear your daily checklist, and let the auto-systems handle the rote portions while you make decisions about gem slotting, Tamashi advancement, and gear refining.

The game appeals strongly to three audiences: returning players of older Eyougame titles who recognize the daily-loop structure, anime fans who appreciate the yokai aesthetic and the contract/familiar fantasy, and competitive players who want a low-skill-floor but high-investment-ceiling environment where ranking comes down to optimized routines, smart spending, and clan politics. People who want twitch combat, esports balance, or short play sessions without progression anxiety will not enjoy it. People who like to log into the same world every day for months and watch a numerical character grow into a server titan absolutely will.

Core Gameplay & Features

The systems in Tamashi: Rise of Yokai stack on top of each other to create the final Combat Power number — the universal stat that determines who wins fights, who clears dungeons, and who tops the leaderboards. Understanding which systems give the most CP per unit of effort is the single most important meta-skill in the game.

• Three-class system — Samurai, Onmyoji, and Cannoneer, each with distinct skill rotations, weapon types, and recommended Tamashi pairings.
• Tamashi contracts — Collect, level, awaken, and equip yokai spirits that grant passive stats and active skills; the headline mechanic of the game.
• Seamless 3D world with auto-quest — Tap a quest to auto-path; longer story sequences pause for cutscenes, but everyday grinding runs on autopilot.
• Layered gear progression — Equipment refining, gem slotting, enchantment, set bonuses, and "infusion" to transfer progress between gear pieces.
• Solo and co-op dungeons — Daily caps on material dungeons (gems, gold, EXP, gear) and weekly elite/boss dungeons for higher-tier rewards.
• Mount and wing systems — Both grant CP, movement, and visual customization; upgradable through dedicated materials.
• Aide companions — NPC followers like Miko (offense) and Aide (heal/support) that act as a personal party in solo content.
• World bosses — Scheduled spawns with damage-rank rewards, the classic "biggest dog gets the steak" loot structure.
• Arena & cross-server PvP — Daily challenge ladders that pay glory points and rank-based weekly rewards.
• Clan/guild ecosystem — Daily clan quests, clan beast feeding, clan prayers for materials, clan tech upgrades, and weekly siege events.
• Rebirth/awakening — A class evolution at a milestone level that unlocks a new skill set, appearance, and stat multiplier.
• Combat Power (CP) score — The aggregated number used for matchmaking, leaderboards, and dungeon entry recommendations.

Combat and class identity

Combat unfolds in real-time 3D with skill cooldowns, auto-combat toggles, and manual override for boss mechanics. Samurai are the most forgiving entry class: high HP, strong AoE for clearing trash mobs in dungeons, decent single-target, and excellent at frontlining for clan sieges. Onmyoji deal the biggest single numbers in the game — their burst combos can delete squishy targets in an arena opener — but they fold quickly to focused fire and lose CP-for-CP duels against tankier classes if their burst misses. Cannoneer is the steady DPS choice: ranged uptime, no resource starvation, strong PvE clearing speed, and reliable arena damage even when out-leveled. There is no universal "best class" — comp at the top of the server matters more than class choice, and within any given server one class will end up dominant based on the top spenders' choices.

Tamashi system

The Tamashi system is what gives the game its name and its identity. Spirits are collected through summons, story progress, events, and conversion of duplicates. Each Tamashi has a star rating, an element, a set of passive bonuses, and an active skill that becomes available when equipped in your main slot. You can equip multiple Tamashi simultaneously, with the main slot's active skill taking priority and the rest contributing passives. Awakening a Tamashi consumes duplicates or awakening shards and pushes its passive contributions significantly upward — well-awakened B-tier Tamashi often outperform unawakened S-tier ones, which is the lesson every new player learns the hard way.

Gear, gems, and refining

Equipment in Tamashi follows a familiar pattern: base item, refining level, enchantment, gem sockets, and set effects. Refining is the main CP gain on gear — pour your gold and refining stones into your weapon first, then armor, then accessories. Gems come in tiers and are slotted into specific equipment pieces; merging lower-tier gems into higher-tier ones is the standard upgrade path. The infusion system, where progress from old gear transfers to new pieces, is the safety net that lets you upgrade equipment without losing your refining investment — use it every time you replace a piece.

Mounts, wings, and aides

These three sub-systems each have their own upgrade currency and provide both stat boosts and cosmetic transformations. Mounts contribute movement speed and a flat CP block; wings provide a different CP block and often elemental affinities; aides are NPC partners with their own gear, skills, and upgrade trees. Don't neglect them — a fully-built aide can add as much CP as a tier of equipment, and most players underinvest here because the menus are buried.

Daily and weekly content

The game expects you to log in twice per day at minimum. The morning routine handles daily dungeons, clan quests, and prayers; the evening routine handles world bosses, arena, and siege content. Weekly content includes cross-server arena, clan siege, and elite boss raids. Missing days is the fastest way to fall behind on a competitive server because the daily caps mean you can't catch up retroactively — every skipped day is a permanent CP gap.

Pro Tips & Strategy

Beginner (Levels 1–80)

1. Burn through the main story without stopping. The first two days of a server are designed for rapid levelling — auto-quest the main storyline until it slows down, because most major systems are gated behind story milestones, not levels.
2. Pick your class based on long-term commitment, not first impressions. Samurai is easier early; Onmyoji and Cannoneer scale harder with investment. If you plan to spend, Onmyoji rewards it disproportionately. If you're free-to-play, Cannoneer is the safest.
3. Claim every free reward. New-server events, login bonuses, level-up packs, and beginner growth funds are front-loaded — collect them daily because most expire after 7 or 14 days.
4. Join an active clan on day one. Clan buffs, clan beast feeding, and clan dungeon access are huge CP accelerators. A dead clan is worse than no clan because you waste your daily clan-quest slots.
5. Don't waste Sycee on appearance or convenience early. Spend it on stamina refreshes, dungeon resets, and pack deals that give multipliers — not on fashion or auto-quest accelerators.
6. Slot all available gems immediately, even if they're low tier. Empty sockets are wasted CP. Merge upward later.

Intermediate (Levels 80–rebirth)

7. Focus refining on your weapon until it's at least two tiers above your armor. Weapon refining contributes disproportionately to your damage output, and most dungeon clears are gated by damage, not survivability.
8. Awaken one main Tamashi to maximum before spreading shards. A fully-awakened main spirit beats five half-built ones because the active skill scaling is multiplicative.
9. Always use infusion when replacing gear. Losing refining progress is the most common rookie mistake. Infusion is free progress retention.
10. Master your dungeon schedule. Material dungeons reset daily — leaving free runs on the table is permanent EXP, gold, or gem loss. Set a phone reminder if you have to.
11. Save your high-rarity summon tickets for double-rate events. Tamashi summon rates have featured banners and rate-up windows; pulling on a normal banner is a waste of currency.
12. Build a dedicated arena loadout. Your PvE gear is usually not optimal for arena — different elemental affinities and burst-skill priorities matter more in 1v1.

Advanced (Rebirth and endgame)

13. Plan your rebirth timing around server events. Rebirth temporarily resets some metrics and unlocks new ones — doing it the day before a server-wide CP ranking event maximizes your reward bracket.
14. Track top-spender CP daily. On competitive servers, your placement in arena, siege, and boss-damage rankings is determined by where you sit relative to a small group of whales. Knowing the curve tells you whether to push or coast.
15. Specialize your Tamashi roster for content. Build one PvE clearing setup (sustained damage, AoE), one boss setup (single-target burst), and one PvP setup (CC, anti-burst defenses). Switch loadouts per activity.
16. Optimize your gem merging path. Don't merge gems blindly — calculate the CP-per-gem-shard cost across tiers, because the curve is non-linear and some tier jumps are far more efficient than others.
17. Coordinate siege with clan voice chat. Siege is the only content where individual skill consistently overcomes CP gaps. Position, target priority, and timed bursts win sieges; brute force loses them.
18. Stop chasing every event. At the endgame, your time is more valuable than marginal event rewards. Pick the two or three events per week that align with your build goal and ignore the rest.

Characters, Classes, and Tamashi Roles

The character ecosystem in Tamashi: Rise of Yokai breaks down into your player class, your aide companions, and your equipped Tamashi spirits. Understanding the role of each unit type clarifies how to build a complete combat lineup.

Class deep-dive

Samurai is built around weapon-skill combos that hit multiple enemies and a strong defensive cooldown rotation. Their gear priorities are HP, defense, and physical attack, in that order. Samurai are the dominant frontline in clan sieges because of their survivability under focused fire; they are average-to-good in arena because their burst damage is lower than Onmyoji's, but they make up for it with consistency.

Onmyoji is the burst class. They use ofuda-style seals, elemental conjuring, and AoE spells. Their power curve is steep — a low-investment Onmyoji is genuinely weak, but a heavily-built one outdamages everyone else by a margin. Onmyoji players need to invest in survivability runes and Tamashi that grant shields or heals, otherwise they die before their burst lands. Magic attack, crit, and burst-damage stats are the priorities.

Cannoneer sits between the two extremes. Their ranged uptime is the highest of any class — they don't have to commit to engagements like Samurai, and they don't need to land a single burst like Onmyoji. This makes them the safest pick for free-to-play players because they perform well even when out-CP'd. Build priorities are ranged attack, crit rate, and crit damage.

Tamashi tiers and pairings

Tamashi are typically rated from B to SSR (or equivalent), with rarer spirits offering stronger active skills and more impactful passives. However, awakening stage matters more than base rarity. A common pairing strategy is to slot one offensive Tamashi (for damage scaling), one defensive Tamashi (for shields or damage reduction), and one utility Tamashi (for cooldown reduction, healing, or crowd control). Elemental affinities also stack — running multiple Tamashi of the same element activates set bonuses that significantly boost damage of that element.

The most common rookie mistake is collecting Tamashi for the visual roster instead of building two or three to maximum. Pick your main Tamashi early — usually the one with the strongest active skill for your class — and dump 70% of your shards and awakening materials into it.

Game Modes Deep Dive

The mode roster determines your daily routine. Here are the main activities you'll cycle through and what each one is actually for.

Solo PvE and the daily grind

The daily grind is the backbone of progression. Material dungeons are short instances designed to be cleared in under five minutes — they cap at a few runs per day and pay out the bulk of your gold and gem income. Elite dungeons are longer and require coordinated play or higher CP; clear them as soon as you can to unlock the gear they drop. Story and side quests trickle in EXP throughout the day, and offline EXP multipliers let you accumulate progress while logged out, capped at a daily maximum.

World boss combat

World bosses spawn on a schedule, usually two to four times per day on different maps. The reward structure is damage-ranked, meaning your final placement on the damage leaderboard determines your loot tier. To maximize world boss rewards, save your damage cooldowns until just before the boss's HP enters a payout threshold, use your highest single-target Tamashi active skill, and coordinate with your clan to avoid spreading damage too thin. Top contributors get rare Tamashi shards and high-tier gear; mid-tier contributors get materials; everyone gets a participation reward.

Arena and competitive PvP

Arena is the primary 1v1 mode, with daily free challenges and a weekly reward distribution based on your final rank. Cross-server arena widens the pool by pulling opponents from multiple servers, and it's where the strongest players test themselves. Glory points earned here are spent in the glory shop on exclusive gear, Tamashi, and cosmetic items not available elsewhere — even non-competitive players should run their daily arena challenges to accumulate glory currency.

Clan content and siege

Clan content is non-optional for serious players. Daily clan quests are short tasks that reward contribution points and materials. Clan prayers are timed rituals where members donate currency for shared rewards. Clan beast feeding incrementally upgrades a server-wide clan totem that buffs all members. The headline clan event is siege — a scheduled team PvP battle where clans contest map regions for territory, glory, and top-tier rewards. Winning siege requires class composition, voice coordination, and a CP base above the server median. Clans that win sieges consistently attract more spenders, which compounds their advantage. Choose your clan carefully.

Endgame & Progression Loops

After the initial 1–30 day push to roughly the rebirth threshold, the game shifts into a long-tail endgame structured around four parallel progression tracks: CP optimization, Tamashi completion, PvP ranking, and clan dominance. Each track has its own time investment, currency sinks, and competitive payoff.

CP optimization

CP is the master stat that aggregates contributions from your level, gear, refining, gems, enchantments, Tamashi, mount, wings, aides, skill books, and passive unlocks. Endgame CP optimization means identifying the cheapest CP gain per unit of currency and pouring resources there until the marginal cost spikes, then rotating to the next-cheapest source. The curve is non-linear — at low levels, weapon refining is cheapest; in the mid-game, gem merging takes over; at endgame, Tamashi awakening and mount upgrades dominate. Keeping a mental (or spreadsheet) model of cost-per-CP across systems is the single biggest separator between average and top-tier players.

Tamashi completion

Building a complete Tamashi roster — one for every elemental affinity, one for every role — is a long-term project that can take months. Most players settle for one or two fully-built spirits and a stable of partially-awakened alternates for specific content. Don't try to max every Tamashi you collect; the shard economy is too tight, and spreading thin produces a roster of weak units.

PvP ranking

Arena rankings refresh weekly with tiered rewards. The top brackets pay out enormously more than mid-brackets, so the climb is worthwhile. Cross-server arena is harder but pays the rarest titles and cosmetics. The other PvP track is siege, which is a clan-driven competition where individual ranking is a function of clan rank — picking a winning clan matters more than individual CP for siege rewards.

Clan dominance

At the endgame, clan dynamics become political. Top clans recruit by CP requirement, alt-account tolerance, voice-chat attendance, and event-participation history. Joining a top-tier clan means meeting their standards, and falling out of one means losing access to the highest-tier clan tech, the best siege coordination, and the daily clan buffs that compound over weeks. Treat clan reputation like a long-term asset.

Top-Up & Recharge

Top-up in Tamashi: Rise of Yokai centers on Sycee, the premium currency used to refresh dungeon runs, accelerate upgrades, buy from the cash shop, and snap up limited-time packs. Players can purchase Sycee directly through the in-game store using their Apple ID or Google Play balance, or buy structured packs (monthly cards, growth funds, event bundles) that provide better value per dollar than raw Sycee. Monthly cards in particular are the highest-efficiency purchase for ongoing players because they distribute their reward across 30 days, beating any single-purchase pack on Sycee-per-dollar.

For players who want to top up outside the platform store — typically to access better regional pricing, faster fulfillment, or alternative payment methods — third-party recharge services handle the transaction by delivering Sycee directly to your character ID. Our site offers top-up and recharge for Tamashi: Rise of Yokai. The official Eyougame publisher portal at eyougame.com lists the game alongside their other titles, and the in-game support panel is the right place to verify your character ID and server name before any external recharge.

FAQ

Q: Is Tamashi: Rise of Yokai free to play? A: Yes, the base game is free on iOS and Android with optional Sycee purchases. Free players can reach competitive mid-tier on most servers; top-tier requires investment.

Q: Which class is best for beginners? A: Samurai is the most forgiving because of its high HP and AoE damage. Cannoneer is the best long-term free-to-play pick because of its consistent ranged damage that doesn't depend on heavy investment to function.

Q: Can I change my class later? A: Class is locked at character creation. To switch classes you have to create a new character on the same or a different server, so commit carefully.

Q: How long does it take to reach the endgame? A: Most players reach the rebirth threshold and main endgame loops within 2–4 weeks of consistent daily play. Full CP optimization is a months-long project.

Q: What's the difference between Tamashi rarity and Tamashi awakening? A: Rarity is the base tier of the spirit (B through SSR or similar); awakening is the upgrade stage you push it to using duplicates and shards. A high-awakening lower-rarity Tamashi often outperforms a low-awakening higher-rarity one.

Q: Do I need to join a clan? A: Practically yes. Solo players miss clan quests, clan beast buffs, prayer rewards, and siege participation — a stack of daily CP gains and rewards that compounds heavily over time.

Q: How does cross-server play work? A: Cross-server arena, world bosses, and selected events pool players from multiple servers for higher-tier competition. Your home server progress and character carry over.

Q: Is auto-combat allowed in all content? A: Yes for routine PvE, daily dungeons, and questing. Boss mechanics, arena, and siege require manual play for optimal results — auto-combat won't dodge attacks or prioritize targets correctly.

Q: Can I play on PC? A: There's no official PC client, but the iOS/Android build runs on standard Android emulators. Performance and emulator policy varies, so check before committing a main account.

Q: How do I top up safely? A: Use the in-game store for direct Apple/Google purchases, or use a reputable third-party recharge service that delivers to your character ID. Always verify your server name and character ID before submitting any external order.

Q: Are there any time-limited events worth prioritizing? A: Server-opening events (first 7 and 14 days) are by far the most reward-dense. After that, monthly festival events and Tamashi rate-up summon banners are the highest-value windows to spend currency or time.

Q: What languages does the game support? A: English, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese, switchable from the in-game settings menu.

Verdict

Tamashi: Rise of Yokai is exactly what it looks like: a polished, content-dense, daily-loop anime MMORPG built on Eyougame's well-worn formula and dressed in Japanese folklore. It rewards players who enjoy long-term character growth, daily ritual play, social investment in a clan, and the strategic chess game of CP optimization. The yokai aesthetic is genuine fanservice for folklore enthusiasts, the Tamashi contract system gives the game a distinct mechanical identity, and the three-class structure is balanced enough that any of the three options is viable with the right investment.

It is not for players who want twitch combat, short play sessions, esports-style competitive balance, or a game they can put down for a week without falling behind. The daily-cap structure punishes inconsistent play, and the top-tier competition is locked behind significant time or money investment. If you've enjoyed previous Eyougame titles or similar 3D anime MMORPGs and you're looking for a fresh yokai-themed world to settle into for the next several months, Tamashi: Rise of Yokai delivers a deep, well-supported experience worth committing to — pick a server on launch week, join an active clan on day one, and follow the daily routine consistently, and you'll find yourself contesting the leaderboards faster than you expect.
