"What lies within this Universal Time? What powers will you unlock and what secrets await? Let thy adventure begin." —The Universe
Info
Hello user! I hope you liked your first experience of playing A Universal Time! If you haven't, click here to play. This guide is meant to be for beginners but it could have some use for people who have played the game for a while and are confused at one point. It also gives a summary of attainability for most abilities as well as different ways to farm and obtain certain items within the game. If you want to know more, links will be attached to certain words that can redirect you to other pages.
Game Mechanics
So first, we'll be going over in game mechanics. The keys that are most important here are Left Shift, F, C, and M Keys. Shift is the Sprinting button, F is the blocking button, C is the Dashing button, and M is the Menu. The Menu is a very important function since it has a few options that will be very helpful, which includes the Item Bank, Shop, and Ability Storage. There are also other features such as the in-game settings and also the Skins. There are also other systems within the universe which allows players to obtain other abilities to increase their strength or utility. To know more, visit the Game Mechanics and Information page, as not all information will be placed into this page.
Ability Storage
The Ability Storage is the most important system within A Universal Time which allows player to save and keep their abilities once they have obtained them, and allows them to switch between existing abilities if they wish to keep it. There is a maximum of 20 space given to every player when they start out, and can be increased by 1 each time when buying the Ability Storage Slot with 100 Robux in the Shop. The player will receive a notification upon opening the bank if they have 5 or less slots left within the bank.
Item Bank
The Item bank is used to store items of any kind within the game, excluding Mounts, as if the player were to leave the game, all of the items in their inventory disappear. This is why the Item Bank exists. If you store your items in the bank, they won't disappear upon leaving. There is a maximum of 20 space given to every player when they start out, and can be increased by 1 each time when buying the Item Bank Slot with 50 Robux in the Shop. The player will receive a notification upon opening the bank if they have 5 or less slots left within the bank.
Skins
Skins are the main focus for trading and showing off ones wealth within A Universal Time, but also for collecting. The player is given a default of 300 storage for skins that cannot be increased unless they were to have extra skins before the New Universe Update 3.0 or earlier. Skins range from Common to Universal, and all have their own chances of being obtained through Skin Crates.
Ability Leveling
Ability Leveling is a system that was added with the New Universe Update 3.0, and allowed player to have a more interactive experience to grow stronger within the universe. By beating up and defeating enemies located around the map, each with their own levels, the player is able to level up and increment points for their ability to grow in strength and defeat even more powerful enemies, as well as ascend your ability. To know more, visit the Ability Leveling page.
Settings
The in-game settings within the universe are not to be confused by Roblox settings. in-game settings allow the player to block and enable certain features within the game that are not default. For example, the player can enable trading or global announcements if they want, or can disable cutscene camera and materials to have a smoother experience if they have lag.
Trading
Trading is a feature that allows players to transfer abilities, skins, items, and mounts to other people while also keeping the player's progression of that ability if they were to obtain a new one. Most abilities, skins, items, and mounts can be traded, except ones that are obtained through codes. There is no limit to trading, however be reminded that scamming and trading for items outside of the game is not allowed and if one is to do that they will be banned or warned depending on the severity.
Combat
Combat is the main focus of A Universal Time and is required for the player to progress through quests as well as leveling abilities. PvP can be done anywhere within A Universal Time, and killing players will grant bounty, which is used for certain quests. PvE allows player to obtain EXP and grind levels for the respective abilities, as well as Traits. To know more about Traits, visit the Traits page. Items can also drop from PvE from the form of Loot Crates/Chests.
Loot Crates/Chests
Loot Crates/Chests drop from NPCs around the map if the player is able to kill the whole group which spawns. Depending on the enemy, they will drop a certain rarity of a crate which drop certain items needed for quests or obtaining/crafting new abilities. There are rarities; Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary. However, it is not always guarunteed that Legendary items will drop from Legendary Crates, nor a Mythical item.
Bosses
In A Universal Time, there are many bosses that the player must face in order to obtain certain items or abilities in order to complete quests and Achievements. There are also raid bosses, which are special bosses that spawn during real time and usually spawn every 1.5-3 hours in rotation. There are currently 34 bosses within the game; 2 being raid bosses, 2 being event exclusive, 5 being Slayer Contract bosses, and others requiring certain items or natural spawning. They all have their own drops (except certain bosses like Dio and Okuyasu Nijimura) and are used to obtain certain abilities through questlines or crafting.
Crafting/Obtaining Abilities
The universe offers many different abilities which players can obtain if they follow certain questlines or obtain the items required to craft the abilities. Stands are usually obtained through Stand Arrows, but others are obtained through quests (such as Nocturnus and Sol). Special Abilities (or also known as Specs) are obtained by quests too, and are usually incredibly easily or incredibly hard depending on the player's skill and patience. All abilities (except some like Shadow and Hito Model: Nika) can be crafted with the respective items needed, but do not offer any rewards. They can be crafted by obtaining their respective Ability Fragments from summoning from the Ability Banner.
Summoning
Summoning is a new feature that was recently added in the New Universe Update 3.0, and was an alternative method to obtain certain abilities. The player needs 1000 UShards in order to summon once on the ability banner, and 10,000 to summon 10 times on the banner. There is no pity, and the shards obtained will only be the ones present on the banner during that time. The banner resets every hour in rotation, and it is random for any ability to be set within the banner. The banner will always shows 1 Legendary ability shards that can be obtained, 2 Epic, 2 Rare, 2 Uncommon, and 3 Common abilities. As stated before, it is random and there is no guarantee that it will be the one the player is looking for. However, there is always a chance the player can obtain a Mythic shard with a 0.12% chance to obtain it.
Subpowers
Subpowers are additional skills that any ability can learn but do not cross over to other abilities. Subpowers have their own prerequisites compared to abilities but are similar in obtainment. There are currently 2 different classes of Subpowers, and they provide incredible buffs. It is recommended to obtain these on the player's main ability for either PvP or PvE.
