0. Reroll Strategy: The Perfect Start

Before diving deep into the story, securing the right units and Arkanas will make your journey much smoother.

Savior Reroll

Strategy: Focus your Starlight Stones Starlight Stones and Yellow Tickets Yellow Tickets on the Bunnygirl Charlotte Pick-up Banner.

Break Status: While obtaining duplicates (Break) is beneficial for late-game scaling, the character is fully functional even at 0-Break (single copy).

Tier Rankings for Rerolling:

Arkana Reroll

Strategy: Use your Purple Tickets specifically for Arkanas.

Requirement: Unlike Saviors, a single copy ("Business Card" status) of an Arkana is sufficient to be effective.

Priority List:

Reroll Goal: Aim for at least two T0 Arkanas OR one T1 + two T2 Arkanas.

Note: While getting top-tier characters is great, Arkanas currently have a higher priority in the meta due to their unique utility.

1. What should I do when I start the game?

Your primary focus should be Pushing the Mainstream Operation (Story Mode).

Mainstream Operation Screen
  • Clear Missions: Always check your mission tab to claim rewards as you progress.
Mission Reward Screen
  • Stuck? If you hit a wall, it is usually resolved by increasing your Combat Power (CP). Refer to the leveling section below.
  • Free Rewards: You obtain drawing tickets as achievement rewards for viewing the story or clearing sectors.
    • Main Story: 10x Arcana draws.
    • Operation Sector: 10x Savior draws.

2. Which Savior Choice should I pick? (Warehouse)

In your warehouse/inventory, you will find a selection box. Use it wisely:

  • If you have no Lacy: Choose
    Lacy
    Lacy
    immediately.
  • If you already have Lacy: Keep the option box for a later breakthrough.

3. Team Building & Formation

Success depends on placing your Saviors in the correct rows based on their roles.

Team Formation UI - Front and Back Rows

Formation Basics

  • Front Line (Rows 1 & 2): Best for Damage Tanks, Healers, or Tanks.
  • Back Line (Rows 3 & 4): Best for Main DPS (Dealers) and Debuffers.
  • Targeting: If there is a Defender in the party, there is a high probability they will be attacked first.
  • Efficiency: Raising too many Saviors is not recommended. 4 to 8 Saviors is appropriate for F2P players.

4. How to Level Up (Starlink)

You can reset levels at any time without burden, so experiment freely!

  • Leveling: Level your 4 main characters in increments of 20.
Level Up Screen
  • Resonance Enhancement: This is required every time you reach a level 20 milestone (20, 40, 60...).
Resonance Breakthrough UI
  • Starlink: This is the most important feature. Synchronize the Savior level registered in the list with the minimum level of your top 4 Saviors. You only need to level 4 Saviors!

5. Resonance & Skill Cubes (Very Important!)

These resources are extremely limited. Do not waste them on low-tier units.

  • Resonance: This is key to increasing specs. Invest primarily in

    , or
    Asherah: Waltz of Starlight
    Asherah: Waltz of Starlight
    .
  • Skill Cubes: Generally, aim for a skill level of 3/6/6.
  • Caution: Skill cubes (especially Cosmic Cubes) are rare. Only invest in SS or S-tier characters that you will keep until the end.

6. Equipment Strategy

Aim to clear Mainstream 14 as quickly as possible to aim for T2 Equipment crafting.

  • Selection Boxes: Obtain equipment selection boxes via missions (5-28, 8-40, etc.). Prioritize the gear for your four main Starlink Saviors.

Upgrade Targets for Level 14:

  • Weapons, Gloves, Armor: Strengthen to +3 to +6.
  • Shoes, Necklaces, Rings: Strengthen to +9 to +15.
