A long, detailed, comprehensive guide to playing Kingdom Hearts χ [Chi]!
This guide was created by user: VexenReplica of kh13.com. Please don't take credit for my work using your name, thanks! (why you'd want to, idk)
Some websites to bookmark:
http://kingdomhearts.jp/ (the game's website)
translate.google.com (for those of you who have trouble with the Japanese barrier)
http://kh13.com/forum/forum/84-kingdom-hearts-unchained-%CF%87-kingdom-hearts-%CF%87chi/ (our forums!)
http://forums.khinsider.com/kingdom-hearts-chi/ (KHI's forums, a really good reference and has loads of useful information as well)
http://wikiwiki.jp/khx/ (note that this is in Japanese)
Without further adieu, let’s jump right into the world of KH Chi!
Follow the instructions in this pastebin or KH13’s own guide to set up your Yahoo! Japan email. You can only play Chi with a Yahoo! Japan email. If you’re having issues setting up your account, you can have SkyKeybladeHero help in creating it in this thread. After creating it, I suggest you head over to this thread and put in your username and union, so that not only you are a listed member of the KH13 community Chi family, but also other English-speaking players can find you and hook up with you, making your experience in Chi that much better!
Once you’ve set up your Yahoo! Japan account, click on the big pink heart thing on the right-hand side of the main site. You will be redirected to this lovely loading screen:
Get used to it, as you’ll be seeing it a lot.
You’ll go through a tutorial. You can skip cutscenes by using the SKIP feature in the top-left hand corner. You’ll eventually come to the Station of Awakening. This is the place where you can choose your union. I’m biased since I love the Vulpeus Union, so I’d say pick that, but choose whichever union you’d like to play with, or which union your friends play in.
(the above two pictures are from Everglow’s walkthough; the rest are exclusive to me and were taken in my game)
You’ll be then redirected to a page that looks something like this, a main hub:
Let’s break it down, piece by piece. Click on the spoiler to learn more about the topic or grouping!

On the sides there are colorful buttons:
And now for the bottom row!
Now for the center of the screen:
SO LET’S CLICK STUFF!!!... or talk about the menu…
Most of these options were available to us on the main page, but a few weren’t…

Speaking of maintenance, it happens first and third “Thursday of each month from 13:00 to sometime between 16:00 and 18:00” THIS IS JST! You can convert this into your own time zone using an application like world clock.
Other time-based events that you may want to know:
GUT (Guilt-Up Time) lasts for 30 minutes and increases your Guilt received from Heartless to be exactly 5. (more on this later)
LUT (Lux-Up Time) doubles the amount of LUX you receive per enemy you defeat.
When it’s happening, you’ll see a status bar above the Raid Boss button:
It’ll tell you how much time is left in GUT/LUT.
So, you may be wondering, what exactly is Guilt and Lux? Well, according to the story, Lux is the light that you’re bringing in for your Union. I’m not sure exactly what the game says about Guilt other than you need to collect it.
Guilt Info, Guilt Helping:
LUX is this game’s main rating system to see how you compare to other players. Basically, the more LUX you have, the higher your ranking. Beating field enemies generally gives you a base of one LUX (although, in past months, it wasn’t like this), and Raid Bosses’ LUX output depends on the damage that you do to them. In game, every week there are goals that you can try and meet. If you meet them, you can get some items (most notably the SR and SR+ medals). However, some weeks SE is more generous than others and they offer other (generally better) incentives for getting lots of LUX. At the end of each week (Monday at 00:00 JST), LUX is reset and you get to start all over again!
There are two very important cards in this game, although they are not strong on their own: Yen Sid and Fairy Godmother.
Yen Sid’s purpose is in the card synthesis area. He can limit cut any card of his rank (R+, SR, or SR+), acting as a wildcard for that card. His card makes it easy to get rare cards to High Purity (Basically, the highest level a card can go...although new implementations kind of screw that a little for SR+s). High Purity gives your card (excluding Key Arts) a rainbow background and it doubles the card’s stats, as compared to the uncut card. The red outline is due to ultimization, something we’ll get to later.
Regular: High Purity Ultimization
Do you see the difference?
Fairy Godmother’s Card provides a temporary strength boost to your cards. R+ is a 1.5 multiplier, SR is a 2.0 multiplier, and a SR+ (if you can get your hands on one) is a 3.0 multiplier. This boost lasts for a week.
OK, now onto unions. Remember that animal that you chose at the beginning of your adventure? Well, there were 4 other animals on the station of awakening. Those other 4 animals make up the different unions in the game, who you will face in combat every day! The team, at the end of the day (in Japan) with the most LUX collected wins! You and the opposing union fight the same Raid Bosses, so it is to your advantage that you hit the Raid Bosses a bunch so that you defeat them and get good rewards, as Raid Bosses give off more LUX than the field heartless.
So the five unions vying for control of the light are:
Vulpeus (fox)
Ursus (bear)
Leopardus (leopard)
Anguis (snake)
Unicornis (unicorn)
Each day, the number of unions who were victorious are totalled up for each group and are added together. At the end of each week, the union with the greatest number of wins gets “special prizes” - but not really. There are “special” weekly Limited Missions (that are the same each and every week) that go out after the winner is determined. The union with the most wins gets all of the special weekly missions and the second place team only gets some of them and so forth. The rewards aren’t really that fantastic so I wouldn’t worry too much about these limited missions.
