Quick Crack Mechanism appears as the named effect on the Geniemon Jellomon. It’s listed with no elemental typing and without a numeric description. If you’re scanning companion options and run into this label, here’s how it sits alongside other early Geniemon entries that do have explicit effects.
| Geniemon | Element | On‑use effect | Teamwide / passive bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jellomon | No Element | Quick Crack Mechanism | — |
| Lumi | Lumino | Deals Lumino DMG equal to 468.0% of the main character’s ATK to enemies within range, while decreasing their Damage Dealt by 1.8% for 10.0s. | The main character and Combat Partners gain: Lumino ATK +0.8%, Max HP +3.0%. |
| Luminelf | Lumino | Deals Lumino DMG equal to 1170.0% of the main character’s ATK to nearby enemies, and grants +3.1% Lumino bonus DMG to self and allies for 12.0s. | Increases Lumino ATK for the main character and the Combat Partners by 2.4% and the stats provided by Lumino Demon Wedges prefixed with [Griffin], [Typhon], and [Covenanter] by 0.9%. |
| Magnetix Drone | No Element | — | Support Skill CD -8.0%. |
| Mr Goodnight | No Element | Continuously heals self and allies, restoring 2.7% of their Max HP per second for 10.0s. | — |
How to evaluate Quick Crack Mechanism in your lineup
When an effect label lacks numbers, the simplest way to size it up is to compare roles. Geniemon broadly fall into a few buckets:
- Raw damage and debuff support (e.g., Lumi, Luminelf with Lumino damage and team buffs).
- Utility pacing (e.g., Magnetix Drone reducing support skill cooldowns).
- Sustain (e.g., Mr Goodnight’s steady healing over time).
Quick Crack Mechanism sits in the utility space by name, so weigh it against the needs of your current build. If your team already has sustain and enough AoE pressure, a utility slot that accelerates or triggers specific combat states can be the right trade. If you’re short on damage checks, the Lumino pair’s on‑demand burst and party buffs may be a better immediate pickup.
Practical checkpoint: equip Jellomon for a few routine encounters you know well, then swap to Magnetix Drone or Mr Goodnight and repeat. Track which situations you clear faster or with fewer consumables. That delta will tell you where Quick Crack Mechanism actually helps your run pacing.
Core progression that powers your choices (Secret Letters, Thoughts, Commissions)
Character, weapon, and Demon Wedge growth runs through a few repeatable systems. Once you’re comfortable with them, you can farm toward the specific tools your team needs.
- Covert Commissions are repeatable missions set at level 40 with rotating objectives. They’re split into Character, Weapon, and Demon Wedge categories, and each run lets you spend one Secret Letter for a shot at a reward from that category’s pool. After a clear, you pick one item from three options pulled from the pool.
- Unlocking characters requires Thoughts. It takes 30 Thoughts to obtain a new character. As an example of drop odds inside Commissions, gold‑tier rewards like 10 Thoughts have a 10% chance to appear.
- Weapons and Demon Wedges unlock by getting a blueprint once; the ongoing grind is gathering the crafting materials, which drop from the same Secret Letter that yielded the blueprint.
- Secret Letters are created by exchanging 10 Secret Letter Clues. Early on, Clues come from main story and major side quests; later, they’re a steady drip from daily and weekly objectives (15 Clues from dailies) and endgame modes.
Reliable Clue income by activity:
- Mystic Maze: 30 Secret Letter Clues weekly.
- Immersive Theater: up to 280 Secret Letter Clues per refresh.
- Nocturnal Echoes weekly bosses: a targeted source of Secret Letters tied to recent characters.
That loop underpins the entire roster grind. It’s designed so you can push for specific unlocks over time without paying.
New character cadence and targeted farming
New characters follow a predictable path through the endgame reward pools. At first, a fresh character’s Secret Letters appear as featured rewards in Immersive Theater for 28 days. After that window, they move into the Nocturnal Echoes weekly boss pool, and eventually into the shop’s general exchange for Secret Letter Clues.
At launch, Psyche is the Immersive Theater focus, with 65 Psyche Secret Letters and 50 Secret Letters for her signature weapon available by clearing Theater stages at the highest ratings. During the same window, Nocturnal Echoes weekly bosses offer Secret Letters for Tabethe, Truffle and Filbert, Yale, and Rhythm; after Psyche’s 28 days, her Letters shift into Nocturnal Echoes, replacing one of those slots.
This cadence makes it practical to target farm the newest addition if your team can reliably full‑clear Immersive Theater. If not, everything eventually lands in the broader exchange.
Cosmetics live on a separate track (and use pity)
Skins and cosmetics are pulled through Myriad with banner‑style rules and separate currencies:
- Prismatic Hourglasses for limited‑time outfits; Pristine Hourglasses for the standard banner.
- Every 10 pulls guarantees a purple‑rarity item.
- Hard pity grants 25 Iridescent Prisms after 90 rolls; Prisms can be traded for the featured skin (25) or other items.
- Gold‑rarity items have a 0.3% drop rate, including the featured outfit, a 25‑Prism bundle, and a rarer 50‑Prism bundle.
- No soft pity, and pity is banner‑specific.
There are also paid skins that you can buy outright, including seasonal outfits like an early launch holiday skin priced at a dollar. Cosmetics don’t affect your access to characters or weapons; those remain free to unlock over time.
Actionable next steps
- Slot Jellomon and run a few known encounters to scope the practical impact of Quick Crack Mechanism. Swap to damage‑forward (Lumi/Luminelf), cooldown (Magnetix Drone), or sustain (Mr Goodnight) companions to benchmark alternatives.
- Push the main story to reach level 40 so Covert Commissions open up; that’s where Secret Letters and Thoughts start to flow consistently.
- Convert Secret Letter Clues into Letters on a steady cadence. Keep dailies for a baseline 15 Clues, clear Mystic Maze weekly for 30 more, and plan Theater/Nocturnal runs around the current featured targets.
- Use Commission category rotation to time your farming: chase Thoughts on Character missions, blueprints on Weapon or Demon Wedge missions, then circle back for materials from the same Letter pool.
You don’t need to chase every system at once. Lock in a weapon and a couple of Demon Wedges that fit your core character, then experiment with Geniemon roles to see where a utility slot like Quick Crack Mechanism actually trims time from your clears. If you’re just getting started or want a direct install path, the game’s PC listing is on Steam.
