Beginner Tips
- Reroll for a strong 5★ starter — See our Reroll Guide for the full tier list. Akari Minase (Festive Christmas), Kaiju No. 8 (Fortitude 9.8), and Aoi Kaguragi are top S+ targets
- Complete story mode first — Chapter 3 unlocks Enhancement dungeons, Chapter 5 unlocks Uniparts, Chapter 8 unlocks Boss Raids
- Save summon currency for rate-up banners — Standard banner has no rate-up guarantees. Target specific characters and skip filler banners
- Cover plate weaknesses — Each stage has colored enemy plates. Match Blunt/Slash/Shot and elemental types to break plates faster. Ignoring this is the #1 new player mistake
- Build one main team — Pick 4 characters and pour resources into them. Spread too thin and you’ll hit progression walls. See Best Squad Compositions for team templates
- Invest in your best 5★ first — A single well-built 5★ carries harder than four under-leveled 4★ units. Level your main DPS to max before touching secondary units
- Join an active guild — Guild features provide additional resources, support units, and community boss fight strats
