Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls launches every character with four costume colors ready to go, but the other four are locked behind specific in-game tasks. Eight colors per fighter across a 20-character roster means there's a lot of customization on offer, and some of the hidden variants look genuinely distinct from the defaults. Here's every method you need to unlock the full set.
How many costume colors are in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls?
Each character has 8 costume colors in the base game, plus a 9th tied exclusively to the Ultimate Edition. Colors 01 through 04 are available from the start. Colors 05 through 08 each require a different unlock method, and none of them overlap. Color 09 cannot be earned through gameplay.
One thing worth knowing before you start grinding: the colors aren't just palette swaps of the same look. Color 05 might turn Doctor Doom blue while making Peni Parker pink, so the results vary significantly between characters.

How to unlock Color 05 in Marvel Tokon
Color 05 is tied to the game's Episode mode, which functions as the story campaign. There are five Episodes total, one for each of the five teams. Completing an Episode unlocks Color 05 for all four characters on that team simultaneously.
So if you want Color 05 for Iron Man, you need to finish the Fighting Avengers Episode. Efficient players can knock out four Color 05 unlocks per Episode run, meaning a full campaign playthrough covers the entire roster in one shot.
How to unlock Color 06 in Marvel Tokon
Color 06 is the easiest unlock on this list. Play 10 matches in Casual mode and it unlocks for every character at once. You don't need to win any of them.
Here's the added bonus: playing 10 Casual matches also unlocks Ranked mode. If you're working toward competitive play, Color 06 comes along for the ride without any extra effort. Ten matches is a light session for most players, so this one shouldn't take long at all.

How to unlock Color 07 in Marvel Tokon
This is where things get uncertain. As of August 2026, the community hasn't pinned down the exact unlock condition for Color 07. Current theories point toward Arcadia Rumble or Survival mode, but testing so far has only turned up badges and gallery rewards rather than the color unlock itself.
This guide will be updated as soon as a confirmed method surfaces. Check back if you're chasing the full set.
How to unlock Color 08 in Marvel Tokon
Color 08 requires completing each character's Action Check and Combo Challenge. Unlike Color 06, this one is per character, meaning you need to clear the challenges for each fighter individually to unlock their specific Color 08.
For players working through the full roster, that's 20 sets of challenges to complete. Some of the Combo Challenges are genuinely difficult, particularly for characters with longer or more technical sequences. The upside is that grinding these challenges actually makes you better at the game, and several characters have their most visually distinct skins tied to Color 08 specifically.
If you're picking up a new character and want to learn their kit properly, the Action Check and Combo Challenge route is worth doing regardless of the cosmetic reward.
How to unlock Color 09 in Marvel Tokon
Color 09 is not available through in-game progression. It's exclusive to the Ultimate Edition of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. If you purchased the standard or deluxe version, there's no path to earning this color through gameplay. You can check the editions and prices breakdown to see exactly what each version includes before making a decision.
What's the fastest order to unlock everything?
If you want to be efficient, the recommended order is:
- Color 06 first (play 10 Casual matches, unlocks for everyone, also opens Ranked)
- Color 05 next (run through all five Episodes, covers every character)
- Color 08 last (grind Action Checks and Combo Challenges per character, save this for fighters you actually play)
- Color 07 (wait for the community to confirm the method)
Color 08 is the real time investment here. Prioritizing characters you already know well makes the challenge grind more manageable, and you'll finish those faster than learning a new fighter from scratch just for the cosmetic.
For players new to the game's systems, the beginner's guide to Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls covers the core mechanics that make the Combo Challenges much more approachable before you start chasing Color 08.
