MARVEL Tōkon Fighting Souls Costume Colors 1–9
Every numbered palette unlock — from free defaults to Ultimate Animated Chromatic.
Every launch fighter in MARVEL Tōkon Fighting Souls ships with numbered costume colors. Colors 1–4 are free immediately. Colors 5–8 are earned in-game. Color 9 is the Animated Chromatic set bundled with Ultimate Edition.
Themed outfits (Advanced Suit 2.0, Battle Reborn, etc.) are separate — see Costumes.
Unlock table
| Color | How to unlock | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | Available from the start | Entire roster |
| 5 | Clear the fighter’s team Episode in Episode Mode | That team’s four fighters |
| 6 | Complete 10 Casual Matches (wins not required) | Entire roster |
| 7 | Clear Stage 100 in Survival Mode | Entire roster |
| 8 | Finish that fighter’s Action Check + Combo Challenges in Character Lessons | That fighter only |

Color 5 — Episode Mode map
Completing one Episode unlocks Color 5 for that team’s four members. Clear all five Episodes for the full launch roster.
| Episode | Color 5 fighters |
|---|---|
| Fighting Avengers | Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Panther |
| Unbreakable X-Men | Storm, Wolverine, Magik, Danger |
| Amazing Guardians | Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord, Peni Parker |
| Samurai Outriders | Ghost Rider, Blade, Deadpool, Loki |
| Knights of Doom | Doctor Doom, Magneto, Green Goblin, Carnage |
Finishing any Episode also unlocks The Champion — double value for story hunters.
Color 6 — Casual Matches
Queue Casual Match specifically. Room Matches do not count for this palette. Ten completed Casual Matches unlock Color 6 for everyone — you do not need ten wins.
Color 7 — Survival Stage 100
Reach Stage 100 once in Survival. Bring a comfortable Beginner Team or your strongest S-Tier core from the Character Tier List, and prioritize damage / survivability buffs as stages climb.
Color 8 — Character Lessons grind
Color 8 is the long project. Each fighter’s Action Check and Combo Challenges unlock only that fighter’s Color 8. Plan around the Weapon X trophy path (100 combo challenges total) so palette hunting and trophy hunting overlap.
Color 9 — Ultimate only
Animated Chromatic cannot currently be earned through gameplay. Compare editions on Editions and Editions Comparison before upgrading solely for the shimmer.
Ultimate also adds full costumes (not just palettes) for Spider-Man, Storm, Iron Man, Captain America, and Doctor Doom — listed on Costumes.
