Earn Points for the Project You Want to Complete
Earn Research Points by completing matches, and direct them into your chosen G-Force Lab project by making it active before you play. Begin with Adventure Classic to gain research progress and monster experience together, then use Survival when available if research progress is your main goal.
Research Points, Coins and Monster Experience
| Progress Type | How You Get It | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Research Points | Complete matches in single-player, local or online modes. | Fill the active Research Project's progress bar. Points are applied automatically as you earn them. |
| G-Force Coins | Collect them in Adventure arenas; they can appear from destroyed structures. | Contribute to scoring or point bonuses during your Adventure play. |
| Monster Experience | Progress through eligible single-player modes such as Adventure or Destruction. | Levels up the individual monster for solo play. It is separate from research progress. |
| Hidden Gallery Tokens | Find random token drops while destroying buildings. | Unlock gallery items, which you can view under G-Force Lab > Sightings. |
Choose your mode according to the progress you need. Survival boosts research progress but does not award monster experience, so it will not solve a monster-level requirement. Adventure is the practical starting choice when you want to research an unlock while also developing the fighter you are using.
Reveal a Project Before Grinding for Its Reward
Open G-Force Lab from the main menu and distinguish Rumors from Projects. A Rumor has objectives to fulfill; completing it reveals the related Research Project. The Project then needs research progress before you receive its reward.
Only one Project can be active at a time, and earned Research Points go to that selected Project. Rumor investigations require single-player play, even though local and online matches can contribute research progress. A multiplayer session that fills a Project bar does not necessarily fulfill a separate Rumor objective.
A Practical Route for a New Player
- Inspect the available Rumors and Projects in G-Force Lab. Pick a reward you want to work toward so your next session has a clear purpose.
- Activate an available Project whose reward helps you now. This directs the Research Points you earn into that Project's bar.
- Play Adventure Classic with a starter monster on a manageable difficulty. This builds research progress while increasing that monster's level.
- Collect G-Force Coins during Adventure to add their scoring or point bonuses to your run.
- Review the Lab after your run to check progress and available Rumors. Follow any displayed objective needed to reveal your next desired Project.
- Switch to Survival when it becomes available and research is your priority. Its boosted research progress suits farming once you no longer need monster experience from that session.
Choose a Mode for Your Immediate Goal
| Mode | Best Use | Important Distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Adventure Classic | Develop a starter monster while earning research progress and collecting G-Force Coins. | A useful starting route when both research and monster levels matter. |
| Survival | Focus on boosted Research Point earnings; Easy is an option for farming. | Does not award monster experience, despite advancing research. |
| Local or Online Matches | Keep contributing Research Points while playing multiplayer. | Research earnings and single-player Rumor objectives are separate. |
Choose a Fighter, Arena or Gallery Goal
| Option | When to Prioritize It | Next Action |
|---|---|---|
| A Preferred Fighter | You want a main you will enjoy using for further progression. | Follow its Rumor requirements and activate the relevant available Project. |
| An Arena | Another Rumor requires a battleground you have not unlocked. | Complete the location Rumor, then fill its Research Project to unlock the location. |
| Gallery Progress | Collecting gallery content is your immediate priority. | Choose a relevant available Project, and watch for hidden gallery tokens while destroying buildings. |
Check both the reward and the required conditions before settling into a long Survival session. Research Points are applied automatically to the active Project, so selecting that destination is your spending decision. Prioritize an arena when it blocks another objective, or a preferred fighter when you want to continue progressing with a different main.
Optional Kiryu Survival Route on Monster Island
Once Kiryu is researched and Survival is available, you can try a route built around throwing enemies into Monster Island's lava pit. Treat it as an optional farming approach after the starter Adventure route. Keep the Project you want active before beginning.
- Select Kiryu for Survival on Monster Island. Choose Easy if you want to use the gentler farming setup.
- Fire a rocket to bait the enemy into blocking, setting up the approach used by this route.
- Grab the enemy after baiting the block so you can follow with a throw.
- Throw the enemy into the lava pit to use the arena hazard as part of your Survival farming.
When Research or Gallery Progress Seems Stuck
If the reward Project has not appeared, check its Rumor objective instead of simply repeating matches for points. If the Project is visible, confirm that it is selected as your current research. Completing a Rumor reveals the route to a reward; completing the corresponding Project finishes that research.
For gallery collection, some items come from Adventure or other Research Projects, while most are tied to hidden gallery tokens. Those tokens drop randomly from destroyed buildings, so repeated destruction does not guarantee an immediate find. Check G-Force Lab > Sightings to view what you have collected.
