Atelier Lydie & Suelle (Upadates)

After you finish a Rank Up Exam, Lydie and Suelle and company will be asked to investigate mysterious paintings by going into their worlds. The world of a painting is a truly different world from the real world where you can obtain rare materials. There are inhabitants in the worlds of paintings, and you can have mysterious encounters unimaginable in the real world. Their various mysteries will bring the twins’ dream one step closer to reality, one step at a time.

There Isn’t Just One Mysterious Painting

Mysterious paintings decorate the gallery of the royal castle. There are a great number of mysterious paintings, and each time you increase your Atelier Rank, new mysterious paintings will be introduced. After you enter the world of a painting once, you can enter it again as many times as you want. There may even be different discoveries to make after the story progresses…


Mysterious Paintings that Need to be Fixed

Mysterious paintings that are old and have lost their power can be repaired with a special item made through synthesis.


Each Painting World is Full of Mysteries

A world where mysterious spheres are floating in the sky. In these mysterious worlds, Lydie and Suelle and company will happen across unexpected and mysterious events.

The synthesis system of Atelier Lydie & Suelle sees players choose an item to synthesize, then insert their chosen ingredients into panels. By using a catalyst and activation item during synthesis, it is possible to create an even better item.

Catalyst Bonuses and Activation Items

The catalyst and activation item have a dramatic effect on synthesis, such as the catalyst generating a catalyst bonus mark on the panels in addition to changing the number of panels, or the activation item changing the colors of the panels where ingredients have already been placed. The catalyst can be thrown into the mix at the start of synthesis, and the activation item can be inserted at any time during synthesis.

—Let’s Use a Catalyst Bonus

The catalyst bonus that generates by inserting a catalyst triggers an effect by simply placing an ingredient in that square. Panel number changes and catalyst bonus mark generation differ depending on the type of catalyst used.


—Aim for a Better Effect

Even when not using an activation item, several effects can be attached to the item. If you change the color with reference to the effect level indicated on the right side of the screen, you may be able to make even better items.


—Insert Activation Items at the Right Moment

When ingredients have been placed and you throw in an activation item with the “Total Repaint: Blue” effect on yellow-colored squares, those yellow squares will all become blue, and a new strengthening effect will appear. By using catalysts and activation items skillfully, you can make even better items.

The “Combination Battle” system of Atelier Lydie & Suelle sees a maximum of three two-person teams, consisting of one character in the front and one character in the rear, participate in battle. While skillfully activating Follow Skills, which are follow-up attacks from the character in the rear, and Support Guards, which are meant to protect the twins, unleash super special moves called “Combination Arts” to defeat the enemy standing in your way.

Follow Skills

After the character in the front attacks, you can use a Follow Skill from the character in the rear by meeting certain conditions to back up the character in the front. Since the actions of the character in the rear are determined based on the actions of the character in the front, it is important to form a team that makes the best use of character trends, such as whether they are suited for the front or the rear.


—Sophie attacks from the front, and Alt follows from the rear!

After Sophie’s skill attack, Alt decides to use a Follow Skill. Follow Skill activation conditions vary per skill, and Follow Skills themselves consist of various types, including attack-based, recovery-based, and support-based skills.



Support Guards that Protect Lydie and Suelle

When Lydie and Suelle are about to be attacked, party members other than the twins in the front can protect the them with a Support Guard. You can determine whether or not to activate a Support Guard on your own.


Combination Arts

Combination Arts are super special moves that can be activated by putting together specific teams and when the Combination Gauge accumulates. The Combination Gauge accumulates as party members in the front deal damage to enemies, and as allies in the rear use Follow Skills. Be sure to try out various combinations.

Battle Mix

When Lydie and Suelle are in the rear, you can activate a “Battle Mix” to synthesize an item for use in battle. Items synthesized through Battle Mix and “Extra Mix,” which use items synthesized beforehand at the atelier, come with exclusive effects that can only be obtained through these two types of syntheses.

—The Important Archeus Anima

Battle Mix requires an item called Archeus Anima. You can find Archeus Anima on the fields in the worlds of paintings, and can also obtain them through battle.


—Synthesize Various Items through Battle Mix

Items that can be synthesized are selected from your Battle Recipes, which can be acquired as rewards for completing requests. There are also exclusive items that only a certain twin can synthesize through Battle Mix and Extra Mix.


—A Sudden Comeback with Extra Mix

Extra Mix uses items synthesized beforehand at the atelier. Ex Effects can only be gained through this method and can be strengthened by adding a specific number or more of Archeus Anima.

Lydie and Suelle and company live in the capital Melveille. Here, where time passes peacefully, the twins and their friends will walk a straight line towards their dreams.

Friends in the Capital

As you pass the days in Melveille, events with characters will trigger at specific times. It is important to spend time with characters at various times, not only to be able to see the different sides of your friends, but also to unlock the cooperative techniques known as Combination Arts.


—Lucia and Lydie laugh together outside of Atelier Voltaire. Although a friend from their childhood, Lucia is like somewhat of an older sister to the twins.


—Surrounded by their mentors Sophie and Firis, Lydie and Suelle give their all to synthesis. The twins’ skills still have some way to go, but in order to one day astonish their mentors and grow to become the number one atelier in the country, they will continue to look forward and try their best.


—It seems that Corneria, who appeared in Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book, will appear in Atelier Lydie & Suelle. While she didn’t necessarily grow bigger than houses as the years passed, she seems to have gotten huge for some reason. Will she be able to return back to her original size?
