S-Chips are some of the most important resources in Tears of Themis, as they can be converted into another currency with the same name (Tears of Themis), which can then be used to draw Visions. These essentially make up the game’s gacha system, allowing you to collect cards of the four love interests. S-Chips can also be used to refill AP and increase the daily Anomaly clear limit.
However, S-Chips are difficult to obtain, especially if you’ve already completed most of the game modes. Here are all the ways to farm them.
