Requiem of Reuinis Tokens & States Guide

What are tokens and states?

Tokens and states are conditional combat modifiers in Requiem of Reuinis that activate when specific equipment, skills, or combat actions trigger them. States persist for a defined number of turns or until a condition clears them. Tokens are stackable counters that equipment and skills consume to produce enhanced effects — derivative skills with altered damage, range, or utility.

These mechanics dominate the Deep Sanctum, the third and hardest demo region. Enemies there have stats that exceed what pure ATK research can overcome within reasonable day budgets. State-based builds — particularly the State Burst loadout — use conditional modifiers to multiply effective damage and bypass DEF checks that stop conventional builds cold.

Core states in the demo

Dream State transforms Tasia into a stationary turret that automatically attacks adjacent enemies each turn without consuming movement days. Enter it through the Dream State skill, unlocked via Utility research, and extend its duration with the Dream Anchor accessory. Dream State is the primary clearing tool for crowded Deep Sanctum floors where moving tile-by-tile would exhaust your day budget.

Ashen State triggers from the Ashen Death weapon when Tasia defeats enemies under specific conditions — typically within a turn threshold or while below a HP percentage. Ashen State generates tokens that feed into derivative skill forms. Golden Triumph, an S-tier accessory, grants +25% Physical Damage per unique state active on Tasia, making multi-state stacking the highest damage ceiling in the demo.

• Dream State — stationary turret mode; clears adjacent tiles without movement cost
• Ashen State — triggered by conditional kills with Ashen Death; generates tokens
• Guard State — enhanced DEF from Guard skill upgrades; counts as a state for Golden Triumph
• Calamity State — late-demo state from Calamity Fragment equipment; high burst damage

Token generation and consumption

Tokens accumulate during combat through equipment procs and skill usage. Ashen Death generates tokens when its trigger conditions are met. Token Forge — a Utility skill — lets you preview and commit to derivative skill forms before spending tokens, preventing wasted conversions on suboptimal effects.

Each derivative skill form costs a fixed number of tokens and produces a different effect: single-target burst, area damage, or defensive shield. The optimal form depends on the upcoming encounter — area damage for grouped enemies, burst for bosses, shield for survival checks. Commit tokens at the start of a fight after assessing enemy composition, not mid-fight when options narrow.

Golden Triumph and state stacking

Golden Triumph is the keystone accessory for state builds. Its effect — +25% Physical Damage per unique state active — scales linearly with the number of distinct states on Tasia simultaneously. Two unique states yield +50% damage; three yield +75%. The skill ceiling requires maintaining three or more states during boss fights while still dealing damage.

Practical stacking sequence: enter combat with Guard State active (from pre-buffing with Guard skill), trigger Ashen State on the first kill, then activate Dream State for sustained turret damage. With three states active and Golden Triumph equipped, Tasia's effective ATK exceeds what pure research achieves until ATK +5 or higher — a research tier most demo players never reach without excessive grinding.

Building the State Burst loadout

The State Burst build from the Best Demo Builds page assembles the core pieces: Golden Triumph, Dream Anchor, and Ashen Death equipped across accessory and weapon slots. Skills are Dream State and Token Forge, both requiring mid-tier research unlocks in the Utility and Combat branches.

This build comes online in the Deep Sanctum after collecting Golden Triumph Shard and Calamity Fragment during exploration. Prioritize research unlocks for Dream State and Token Forge before entering the Sanctum — arriving without these skills forces a retreat to research, wasting an entire exploration cycle. Check the Research Guide for the exact node prerequisites.

Boss applications

The Sanctum Keeper boss punishes pure ATK builds with high DEF and regeneration. State Burst bypasses this by stacking Golden Triumph damage bonuses that multiply beyond DEF mitigation thresholds. Calamity Echo requires area damage to handle add spawns — use token-derived area forms rather than single-target burst.

The Demo Final Guardian combines both challenges: high DEF, regeneration, and add spawns across multiple phases. Enter with three states pre-active, commit tokens to area form for add phases, and switch to burst form for the final phase when adds stop spawning. Detailed phase breakdowns are in the How to Beat Bosses Guide.
