CONTROL Resonant Character Collection Guide: Unlock All

Overview of Character Collection

In CONTROL Resonant, the character collection system is the core of your progression. You will smash grotesque monsters within a bizarre mechanical courthouse, and each character you unlock offers a unique playstyle. This guide covers every aspect of collecting characters, from initial unlocks to advanced team strategies.

How to Unlock New Characters

Characters in CONTROL Resonant are obtained through several methods. The primary way is by progressing through the game’s story campaign. As you defeat bosses and complete specific floors of the courthouse, new characters become available.

Other unlock methods include:

• Completing side quests found in the hub area.
• Reaching certain player levels (every 5 levels grants a new character token).
• Defeating world bosses in the arena mode.

Character Roles and Classes

Every character in CONTROL Resonant belongs to one of three primary roles, each with two sub-classes. Understanding these roles is essential for building effective teams.

Best Team Compositions

For the best results in CONTROL Resonant, you need a balanced team. A classic composition is one Tank, one Support, and two Strikers. However, some late-game content requires specialized teams.

1. Early Game Team

   Use a Guardian Tank, a Medic Support, a Berserker Striker, and a Ranger Striker. This provides survivability and consistent damage.

2. Boss Raid Team

   Stack two Juggernaut Tanks and two Technician Supports. This team focuses on debuffing the boss while staying alive.

3. Speedrun Team

   Use four Berserker Strikers. This is risky but offers the highest damage output for clearing normal floors quickly.

Character Upgrades and Resonance

Once you collect a character, you can upgrade them using materials found in the courthouse. The "Resonance" system allows you to increase a character's star level, unlocking new passive abilities.

• Collect duplicate characters to increase Resonance level.
• Farm specific floors for upgrade materials.
• Prioritize upgrading your main Tank and Support first.
