How to Unlock Lionel in OCTOPATH TRAVELER: Champions of the Continent

While Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent has been out for a while in Japan, the free-to-play mobile game has only recently had a worldwide release. Now that so many more people can play, a couple of updates and new characters have come available in the last few months. The very newest and latest release is the character Lionel. Pure and strong and used for buffs, people will be eager to add him to their party. So how do you add Lionel? Here’s how to unlock Lionel in Octopath Traveler Champions of the Continent.

Obtaining Lionel

There is no real special way to unlock or obtain Lionel as far as we are aware. He has only very recently been announced, but because this is a mobile game, obtaining new characters is fairly easy, if not a bit tedious. The only real way to get new characters seems to be the same since the game’s inception, rerolling.

Rerolling characters is kind of a difficult aspect of the game. If you want a new character, you’re essentially starting over. There are a few save points depending on how deep you are into the game that at least ‘starting over’ doesn’t mean you’re completely wiping out your progress or everything you’ve done.

Sadly there is no other way currently to know how to obtain Lionel. You simply have to start a new game, go through the tutorial and get all your characters ad if you don’t get Lionel that time, try and try again. At least the game is technically modeled in a way where you will eventually want to start over with new characters just to see your different options and outcomes as you play through.

Good luck rerolling and just be sure you really want Lionel before you do. The game is available on all mobile devices worldwide.
