Rivals of Aether 2 – How to Grind XP

How to Efficiently Grind Character XP

By Retromouse.

TLDR

1. Go to Local Versus.
2. Put the character you want to level up as CPU in Player 1 spot (only Player 1 gets XP).
3. Pick any CPU opponent.
4. Set both CPUs to Level 9.
5. Change match settings to Infinite Lives and 7 Minutes.
6. Start the match (any stage works) and wait – you’ll get about 200 XP.
7. Hold Start/Ready button after the match to skip character select.
8. Keep repeating matches until you get what you want.

Why This Works

• You get XP based on how long matches last.
• Each match can give you up to 200 XP.
• 7 minutes is the perfect match length for maximum XP.
• Testing shows:
  • 8 minutes = 200 XP
  • 7 minutes = 200 XP
  • 6 minutes = 172 XP

We checked the math: In a 7-minute match, you get about 28.5 XP per minute (200 ÷ 7 = 28.5). This proves 7 minutes is the best choice since a 6-minute match at this rate gives us 171 XP, matching our test results.
