More free 5-stars - Golden Companion Spirit explained
The way you can claim the character from the pool above is through a new currency, the Golden Companion Spirit. Everyone gets one for free, and you can get more through various means.
First is buying Oneiric Shards, meaning shelling out real money. Once you accumulate a certain amount of Oneiric Shards, you'll receive a Golden Companion Spirit on top of it.
Another way to earn them is by trading them using another new currency, the Silver Companion Spirit. You get one Silver Companion Spirit every time you get a duplicate of a 5-star character who is already at max Eidolons. Two Silver Companion Spirits can be exchanged for one Golden Companion Spirit.
