mmm angst

First and foremost, let's work on building a Main. Choose ➡️ONE⬅️ SSR card to be your primary fighter. Having one strong card will do better than two smaller ones! So pick ONE!!

Once you've picked, you can dump everything you have into LEVEL and POTENTIAL.

This one is mine! I've been playing for a couple years, so I had the resources to switch my main, and then to start building a second main with whatever I'd maxed out on the first. -->click the "skills" button and take note if your card is S or P for later.

If you have your card's matching Warding card, equip it now and upgrade its POTENCY, LEVEL, and SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES. Your warding card gives a huge boost to power, and when it matches, you get an additional Link Bonus that increases with upgrades. AWAKENING the warding card really helps, so I recommend awakening it fully!

If you do Not have the matching warding, it might be better to wait until you can get it first.

Tools:

There are three kinds of tools. Perfume, Brooch, and Accessory. The Accessory is different depending on the card you have. Through Galaxy missions, you can obtain up to A level equipment. Only R+ can be upgraded.

For R+, you need to go to Mr Mo's Mines. I recommend only summoning when there is an event that rewards you for summoning here. Otherwise, you are not guaranteed to earn anything from it. -->equipment Grade is more important than its Level, but I would still recommend saving for higher quality if possible.

When leveling them up, here's what you should prioritize based on your card.

For P Attackers: Perfume>>Accessory>>Brooch

For S Attackers: Brooch>>Accessory>>Perfume

Gemstones:

There are 10 different kinds of gemstones. If you press the "?" Button and scroll down far enough, it will tell you what they all do, and then you'll figure out that the ones with weird names just help 2 stats and aren't actually that complicated. In battles, you do not attack very often. So, you want to maximize Attack per hit and Defense for between hits.

For P attackers: Warding-->HP, P ATK, Strength or ATK. Perfume--> S DEF, P DEF, HP. Other--> same as warding

For S attackers: Warding-->HP, S ATK, Intelligence or ATK. Brooch-->S DEF, P DEF, HP. Other--> same as warding

of course, you can switch it up a bit depending on your needs, but this is what I've got.

Gemstones can be bought up to Level 9, and then can be upgraded up to 15 in your equip menu. Do your Warding's gems first.

Pets:

You can get SSR pets from the Nightmare events. These can be upgraded by sacrificing your other pets. Other pets come from Eggs at varying levels, but they should only be used as placeholders until you can get an SSR to upgrade.

➡️TEAM BUILDING⬅️

Once again, mine's gonna look a little different because I have enough for a Secondary.

But oh my gosh, do NOT just use the Optimize button. It is NOT optimal.

Here's the Team menu. If you press and hold on any of these characters, their Skills menu will pop up.

Based off of your cards' skills, you should arrange them in a way that gives your Main an advantage. In the first few Squads, I recommend using extra damage skills, like Curse and Poison. Right before your Main, I'd put a couple Sleep or Stun cards. Right after your Main, but as many Guards as you have.

If your Main's skill has a skill that, for example, does extra damage to Cursed enemies, put a bunch of Curse cards right before it. Mine have Endurance, so I did not put anything special in front of them.

If you have extra cards, you should use a shrunken version of this logic to have extra teams for Guild Battles as that is the only place you can use them.

➡️RESOURCE GATHERING⬅️

Once your teams are ready, head over to Arena. Here is where your primary income of Gems and Pyramids will come from. It rewards you for your rank every 24 hours. Gem prizes can be anything up to ~300 daily.

If you want a better chance at winning, maybe take a quick glance at the other players's team. You don't need to examine it, but checking their Main and will give a better idea of their power than their Total power. Also, if they have their main at the very top, they probably used the "optimize" button on their teams... your chance of winning is 80%.

Now, go do your daily tasks. You will earn most supplies from Investigations. Doing your dailies will also reward you 150 gems + whatever you get from reaching the Active Bonus.

You also have things like Chests(inventory), Guild Points(guild), Feathers(pheonix exchange), and Silver Coins(arena). You can use these for extra supplies as needed.

➡️NIGHTMARE RAIDS⬅️

The last place to get supplies from is Nightmare. These happen twice per day, and are team events. The most notable resources from Nightmare are Gapples, Pink coins, and Gem shards.

I only login once per day, and it's during this time. You don't have to do both raids, and you don't have to do raids daily. They get frustrating, I know, but they are useful.

Most players do raids within the first couple minutes of Nightmare opening, but there are some strays afterwards. I do recommend friending some people to do raids with if you need to, but doing it with strangers works as well. I'm pretty sure the top raid's power is about the equivalent of 3 ftp players who've been doing their dailies consistently, so you should be fine.

➡️➡️For Nightmare, it will tell you the raid's power. BUT, if you have THREE PLAYERS in your room, you ONLY need a combined power of ~70% of the raid.⬅️⬅️

If you still can't beat them, try again at a lower one. Some resources is better than none.

Also, being defeated once does not mean you can never beat that raid. Similarly to Arena and Galaxy, since the attacks are directed randomly, the result is highly based in chance. Unsuccessful attempts do not count towards your Key count, so feel free to try again. I especially have to retry a lot when I'm by myself, even if I have more power than the raid I'm doing.

That's about everything! If you have questions, please ask. I'm not very active, but I'll get to it when I see it.
