- Best farming and daily habits for free-to-play success.
Start with rerolling (optional but recommended)
Rerolling helps secure a powerful 5★ unit early, saving time and resources. S-tier characters like Sagan (tank), Hoshina (DPS), or Kafka Hibino (hybrid) are top picks that carry you through most content. If you don’t want to reroll, don’t worry — you can still progress, but rerolling gives a strong advantage.
How to spend crystals wisely
Crystals are your most valuable currency. Beginners should avoid spending them recklessly.
- Don’t use crystals for stamina refills unless during important events.
- Save for limited banners featuring S-tier characters.
- Avoid standard banners unless you lack units entirely.
Proper crystal management ensures steady roster growth without wasting pulls.
Building your first team
Early-game success depends on synergy, not just raw power. For a beginner team:
- Tank/Frontline: Sagan or Mina help absorb damage.
- Main DPS: Hoshina or Reno provide consistent damage.
- Support/Utility: Kaiju Support Squad members or characters with healing/buff skills keep your team stable.
- Battle Buddy: Don’t neglect them — they provide clutch assists and stat boosts.
Focus resources on your core four characters before spreading upgrades across your roster.
Farming priorities for beginners
- Story Stages: Clear as far as possible early — each first clear gives crystals.
- Manual Farming: Invest stamina into manuals for skill upgrades.
- Enhancement Materials: Strengthen your main team before experimenting.
- Events: Always join — even at low levels, rewards are worth it.
Beginners who farm consistently won’t stall when Promotion Exams arrive.
Daily and weekly tasks
Developing strong habits early pays off:
- Daily missions: Complete them all for crystals and resources.
- Weekly missions: Bigger rewards that should never be missed.
- Login rewards: Even brief logins keep you stocked with stamina and jellies.
- Friend system: Send and receive stamina if available.
Skipping these tasks slows progression significantly.
Avoiding beginner mistakes
- Spreading resources too thin — focus on your main team.
- Pulling on every banner — save for rate-up or limited characters.
- Ignoring battle buddies — they provide free power boosts.
- Using auto-battle in tough stages — manual play helps clear exams and bosses.
- Letting stamina cap out — wasted farming opportunity.
Progression checkpoints to aim for
- Early Game: Clear story stages, unlock daily missions, and build your core team.
- Mid Game: Focus on Promotion Exams, skill upgrades, and event farming.
- Late Game: Optimize for PvP, advanced bosses, and perfecting your roster with limited characters.
