A3! Act! Addict! Actors! is an actor training gacha game that features men as part of a theater! Its English localization, A3! Actor Training Game recently released. If you’re interested in a variety of cute guys doing stage performances a la Broadway, then this could be the game for you!

You play the part of a young woman who’s on a search for her missing father. Armed with a letter, she finds herself at the Mankai Company, under threat of closure. One thing leads to another, and you’re roped into reviving its splendour within a year. As it turns out, Mankai Company was her father’s theater troupe, so she may find answers yet. There are four “Troupes” in A3!, named after the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

The Spring Troupe consists of:

• Sakuya Sakuma
• Masumi Usui
• Tsuzuru Minagi
• Citron
• Itaru Chigasaki

The Summer Troupe consists of:

• Tenma Sumeragi
• Yuki Rurikawa
• Muku Sakisaka
• Misumi Ikaruga
• Kazunari Miyoshi

The Autumn Troupe consists of:

• Banri Settsu
• Juza Hyodo
• Omi Fushimi
• Taichi Nanao
• Sakyo Furuichi

The Winter Troupe consists of:

• Tsumugi Tsukioka
• Tasuku Takato
• Hisoka Mikage
• Homare Arisugawa
• Azuma Yukishiro

If you’re looking to reroll for a particular character, you can skip the prologue in A3 and do the free pull in Tryouts. You are guaranteed at least one SSR.

As is common with these games, you have missions to complete. Clearing them all with provide a steady flow of gems, so don’t miss out! If you’re not sure where you need to do missions, you can press the “Go” button to take you to the relevant page. You will need to clear the Beginner Missions first before Dailies/Weeklies unlock, which will grant you an SR Sakuya on completion!

Training is important! Your actors will level up slowly as they practice for stats, but you should train their skills too. Daily Practices, normal Practice and the “Earn Cash” mini-game can drop materials for training. Level up the lead skills for your center’s card is also key. You can level those by giving R and above normal/trainer cards.

“Earn Cash” lets you take your actors to various places to… earn cash. You have to tap on the floating hearts that pop up within the time limit to get coins. You’ll have an added bonus of seeing short conversations between characters depending on who you pair up!

Check the Practice icons. These usually indicate which Troupe is best for it. You can check the bottom left of your card icons to see which Troupe they belong to. Matching the members of a particular troupe to Practice can give you more bonuses, like increased Flair and Energy gain. Energy leads to “Actor Rush”, which boosts EXP gain, among other things. When you clear all missions and Flair, you get more gems, so it’s in your best interest to do them!

Last but not least, are Linked Skills. Linked Skills will provide bonuses to help you get more power! These are the most useful skills that you’ll need to mix and match accordingly to your requirements. You can check them out yourselves here.

It’s time to raise the curtains. Give your new actors guidance, Director! Feel free to follow the official English Twitter for other information.
