Album (Kingdom)

Albums are a class of item in Kemono Friends Kingdom which grant stat boosts and special passive effects to Friends who equip them.

The term Album itself refers specifically to the individual items that a Friend equips in their left-side, center, or right-side Album slots, granting that Friend a boost to their stats; they each feature artwork that makes up one-third of a larger image. Each Album item has a Type, as indicated by its name and partial artwork, and when three Albums of the same Type are equipped together to fill up a Friend's three Album slots, they complete the artwork and form a Set that grants the Friend access to a powerful Set effect. All left-side Albums are identified with the Roman numeral I placed after its name; accordingly, center Albums are identified with II and right-side Albums are identified with III.

Albums are sorted into four ascending rarities: C, B, A, and S. Albums of higher rarities grant larger stat boosts and possess more powerful passive effects when used in a Set with other same-Type Albums of the same rarity.

Players can acquire most Albums as rewards for story progression, special events, and clearing stages of the Subway. Some Albums can only be obtained through the paid Advanced Kingdom Guide.

Types and Sets

There are 27 unique Album Types in the game, thus there are 27 Sets. Each Set grants a specific passive or conditionally-activated effect, called a Set effect, to any Friend who equips it. If a Friend mixes and matches Albums from different Sets, none of those Albums' listed Set effects will be active; a full Set must be equipped to benefit from a Set effect. Albums also grant stat buffs based on the unique Attributes of each Album; unlike a Set effect, these buffs do not require a complete Album Set to be in use in order to take effect.

While A-, B-, and C-Rarity Albums only have one Set effect, S-Rarity Albums gain a secondary effect upon reaching Lv.36.

Attributes

Each individual Album possesses one of ten Attributes, each of which grants a different set of boosts- called an Attribute Bonus- to the base stats of any Friend who equips an Album with that Attribute. Albums do not need to form a Set in order for a Friend to benefit from each Attribute's stat boost, and the Attribute types of each Album do not need to match for their Attribute Bonuses to apply.

Attributes and Associated Stats

Attribute Name	Stats Boosted
King	PATK, SATK, PDEF, SDEF, HP
Balanced	PATK, SATK, PDEF, SDEF, HP
Fierce	PATK, SATK, HP
Spiky	PATK, SATK, PDEF, SDEF
Pachyderm	PDEF, SDEF, HP
Sharp	PATK
Poisonous	SATK
Scaly	PDEF
Slimy	SDEF
Hibernation	HP

Some notes:

• Although King and Balanced both boost all stats, the boosts provided by King are superior.
  • In turn, although King provides a boost to all stats while Attributes such as Slimy and Poisonous only boost a single stat, those Albums which boost one stat give a greater boost to that specific stat than what King gives to that stat.
• Albums of rarity B or C cannot possess the Sharp, Poisonous, Scaly, Slimy, or Hibernation Attributes; these five are restricted to Albums of S or A rarity.
• The boosts granted by an Attribute increase relative to the rarity of the Album in question; for instance, a King Album of S-Rarity will grant higher stat boosts than a King Album of A-Rarity.

Album Levelling and Enhancement

All Albums start at Lv.1 and cap at different levels depending on their rarity: S-Rarity Albums cap at +80, A-Rarity Albums cap at +50, and the B and C-Rarity Albums both cap at +20. Levelling up an Album increases the values of its Attribute Bonuses, and can boost the power of a Set Bonus when all three Albums equipped are of the same level; if a Friend equips a Set with Albums of differing levels, the lowest-level Album's Set Bonus effects will be the ones applied to the Friend. To level up an Album, a player will use items called Manuscripts, which are found through regular game play.

At certain intervals of an Album's progression, one extra copy of the same Album- the level and Attribute of which do not need to match- must be consumed instead of Manuscripts in order for the Album in question to reach its next level.

it should be noted that while any type of Manuscript can be used at any stage of Album levelling, only the EXP which contributed to an Album's level increases can be reclaimed by dismantling; if a player reaches an Album level milestone using an Album that grants more EXP than needed to reach that milestone, the extra EXP does not transfer to the next level of progression; rather, it is entirely lost. To avoid wasting EXP, it is advised that only Manuscripts with low EXP yields be used to upgrade low-rarity Albums.

Manuscripts

Manuscripts are loose pages of an unknown author's writings, detailing scientific findings in experiments done with Sandstar. Four types of Manuscript can be found, and each grants a different amount of EXP when used on an Album. Manuscripts can be obtained through story progression, events, Subway stage completion, the Redeem shops, and as drops from the Main House in the Park.

Types of Manuscript

Manuscript	EXP Yield	Item Details
Ruined Manuscript	50 EXP	A page from a secret manuscript where most of the text has been deliberately painted black, making the handwriting unreadable. It seems that someone is trying to hide a big secret. Used to enhance Albums and grant 50 EXP.
Simple Manuscript	200 EXP	A page from a secret manuscript where abstract scribbles record the process of a Sandstar experiment. Something seems to have gne terribly out of control, and the corrosion stain on the page may be a clue leading to the truth. Used to enhance Albums and grant 200 EXP.
Profound Manuscript	1000 EXP	A page from a secret manuscript where equations record the secret of Sandstar's transformation. Many secrets about the Sandstars still remain unknown, waiting for you to unveil. Used to enhance Albums and grant 1,000 EXP.
Obscure Manuscript	2500 EXP	A page from a secret manuscript where an unexpected phenomenon that occurred during the Sandstar experiment is recorded. The writer is probably the only one who understands its meaning. Used to enhance Albums and grant 2,500 EXP.

Dismantling Albums

Through the Album equip menu, players may access the Album Dismantle menu. Here, Albums can be dismantled in order to obtain additional Manuscripts based on that Album's rarity; additionally, when dismantling an Album which has been levelled up, the player will receive Manuscripts equal in value to those invested in that Album, as condensed into the highest levels of Manuscripts possible.

Because dismantling Albums that have been levelled up allows players to effectively reclaim their invested Manuscripts, there is little issue with levelling up low-Rarity Albums before acquiring stronger ones. However, remember that only the EXP used to contribute to the Album's requirements can be refunded; any excess EXP granted by Albums with a higher-than-necessary yield is lost and cannot be recovered in this way.

Manuscripts Received by Dismantling Lv.1 Albums

Rarity Dismantled	Manuscripts Received per Album
S	Simple Manuscript x2
A	Simple Manuscript x1
B	Ruined Manuscript x2
C	Ruined Manuscript x1

Trivia

• While most S-Rarity Albums feature art of Friends obtainable in Kemono Friends Kingdom, one in particular—Crisscrossed Venom—features King Cobra alongside two Friends who do not appear in Kingdom. These Friends are Komodo Dragon and Okinawan Habu.
