On-Field Switching
Tap the character's icon on the upper right side of the screen for mobile, using the numbers 1-5 for PC, and using the directional pad for the PS4. You'll be able to see which characters are active by checking the upper right part of the screen.
In mobile, you can tap on the character's name or icon to switch to them immediately.

How to Get Characters
Before Entering Domains
When entering temples, you will be prompted to create a team before being able to enter the temple. There will also be restrictions as some dungeons require a certain element(s) in order for them to be completed. Make sure to have a variety of characters on your team!
