Quick Answer
Completion Chips, Completion Capsules and Completion Potions are different materials. Completion Chip I, previously called Limitless Chip I, supplies 100 points toward the relevant Limitless progression. Documented sources include Hero Challenges and Story Missions in the Hero Precinct's Explorer content.
If your hero asks for capsules or potions instead, obtaining more chips will not satisfy that requirement. Start with the exact item name on the blocked upgrade, including its hero or generation label.
Match the Missing Item to the Right System
| Item | What it is for | First place to investigate |
|---|---|---|
| Combat Manuals | Ordinary earned hero EXP | Hero level screen and Training Area status |
| Hero fragments and matching Hero Badges | Classic rank progression | That hero's Rank Up requirements |
| Completion Chip I | Limitless progression points | Hero Challenges and Story Missions |
| Completion Capsule | Hero-specific Completion development | Matching hero capsule, recruitment or choice-item rewards |
| Completion Potion | Completion upgrades using the applicable variant | Generation label and upgrade preview |
| Completion selection token or crate | A choice of listed materials | Its available rewards before opening |
This distinction prevents a common purchasing error: buying a crate that offers capsules when the immediate blocker is a chip-based progress bar. The items can belong to the same hero system without being interchangeable.
Where to Look for Completion Chips
Open the Hero Precinct, enter its Explorer content and look for Hero Challenges and Story Missions. Those named modes matter: repeating an ordinary Explorer stage is not a substitute for checking the reward list of the appropriate mode.
Availability depends on the hero content unlocked in your state. Story Missions have been released around particular Completion-era heroes, so another state's screenshot may show a story you cannot yet access. Check the unlock condition and reward preview before spending attempts on a different mode.
Hero Challenges also have their own challenge structure and rewards. A daily attempt allowance, squad stamina and support-skill choices can affect your run. Distinguish stage rewards from weekly ranking rewards; they need not award the same material. The Explorer Trail guide helps with squad survival, but your chip search should follow the named reward source.
For a simple quantity check, suppose an upgrade needs 2,700 progress and you have 1,800. The shortfall is 900; at 100 points per Chip I, that is nine chips. This is an illustrative calculation. Confirm the displayed requirement and chip version before applying it to your hero.
Capsules Must Match the Hero
A capsule belongs to its named hero. A stockpile for one hero does not automatically pay for another hero's development. Acquisition routes can include Hero Challenges, recruitment events and Completion choice items, with availability varying by hero.
Before committing to Ray's Place or Value Vouchers, inspect which reward the event actually provides. A hero portrait on a banner is not enough: check whether the milestone gives fragments, capsules, a selection item or another resource.
Plan a reachable upgrade rather than collecting a little of every capsule. If your current budget cannot finish the requirement, retaining an unopened choice item can preserve flexibility until you can fund a useful step.
Why the Potion in Your Backpack Does Not Work
Completion Potions have documented variants for different hero-generation groups, including the earlier Gen 7–12 system and later Gen 13+ content. Match the item description to the upgrade; similar artwork does not make two variants substitutes.
Also check whether the upgrade asks for several materials at once. Having the right potion does not remove a missing capsule or prerequisite talent. Read the entire cost row and any locked-node requirement before searching for a bug.
For an ordinary hero that cannot level, use the fragments and upgrade guide first. Rank caps and missing EXP are different problems from Completion requirements.
Open Selection Rewards in the Correct Order
Some Custom Completion Capsule Crates use a two-step process: you select a hero's capsule crate, and that selected crate returns to the Backpack to be opened. Selecting the portrait does not always immediately add usable capsules to the hero screen.
When a reward appears to be missing:
- Read what the first selection actually awarded.
- Return to the Backpack and look for the selected hero's crate.
- Open that crate if it remains unopened.
- Recheck the exact hero and currency count.
- If still missing, preserve the reward and inventory screenshots for support.
Do not open a second generation-selection item merely because you have not completed the first item's second step. Choice lists vary; an older token is not a promise that every subsequently released hero has been added.
Progression Order and Spending Decisions
Limitless development combines progression levels, talents and skill requirements. In the documented system, later skill steps depend on other development being completed. Read locked-node prerequisites before accumulating materials for a skill you cannot yet advance.
Choose the hero's job first. An Explorer upgrade should address a stage obstacle; a march investment should improve relevant military performance. A borrowed Training Area level does not finish Completion talents, and different displayed level scales do not by themselves prove that level sharing is broken.
Free players benefit from collecting eligible challenge and story rewards before considering event purchases. If spending, price the exact remaining combination of materials. A cheap chip bundle is poor value when your next useful upgrade is blocked by hero-specific capsules.
FAQ
Where can I get Completion Chip I? Check Hero Challenges and Story Missions in the Hero Precinct's Explorer content. Confirm that the unlocked mode's reward list includes the chip you need.
Are Completion Chips and Completion Capsules the same? No. Chip I supplies progression points; capsules are hero-specific development materials. Follow the upgrade's exact requirement.
Why did selecting a capsule reward not increase my capsules? Some selection crates award another crate to your Backpack. Open that selected hero crate before checking the usable capsule count again.
Can I use any Completion Potion on any Limitless hero? No. Check the potion's generation or variant label against the hero's requirement.
Does the Training Area finish a hero's Completion progress? No. Level sharing and Completion development are separate. Inspect talents, skills and materials on the hero's own progression screens.
Key Takeaways
- Identify the exact missing currency before choosing an event or purchase.
- Search the named Hero Challenges and Story Missions for chip rewards.
- Check potion variants and second-stage Backpack crates when an upgrade remains blocked.
