Beginners Guide

How Should I Start?
Your priority should be progressing though the main story as fast as possible. Completing chapters unlocks new areas.

Important Things to Keep in Mind
Bags of resources become more valuable as you progress, use them sparingly.

You WILL run out of Scarlet Jade and be blocked from progressing. Take every opportunity get them. (see purchasing sections below)

Goddess shards are vary rare, you should be looking to start purchasing them from the shop as soon as you have your first goddess at level 31

Who should i level?
Anyone!

Leveling is different from many other mobile games, in a good way. Using the Barracks you can remove all the resources you spent leveling a Hero at a small gem cost (20 gems). This lets you almost freely swap Heroes in and out of your core party.

Along with the Barracks there is the Stone Tablet that lets you select additional heroes. The heroes selected will be given a temp level equal to lowest leveled hero in your main party. This is good for subbing in different heroes when your main party is inevitably countered by your opponent.

Your goal should be to find a good standard dungeon party: tank, heal, 2-3 dps

You can check out the Hero Tier List and more information on given Heroes.

How do i rank up heroes effectively?
Both Epic and Legendary heroes look the same when they are 5* or above. Epics have a chance to be pulled as 5* from the gatcha and soulstones. This can confuse new players into thinking they hold the same value. NEVER USE LEGENDARY HEROES AS FODDER. Its true that bad legendaries exist but they are still hard to come by and should be held on to for the Outer Area.

How should i farm/grind?
The AFK rewards system gives out increasingly more valuable gear and artifacts the longer you wait to collect.

It is recommended that you wait at least 2 hours to collect. The closer to your time cap the better.

The rewards are not so much better that it is worth losing extended amounts of time to being capped so be sure to collect if you think you may cap out before you can collect.

Coins
Coins are the basic currency used primarily for leveling. Some equipment can be bought in the shop for 250k+ coins. It is generally not worth buying shop items as leveling costs go up quickly.

Goddess Coins
Goddess coins are obtained through seduction rewards. The goddess shop is the primary way you will level your goddesses. Earning currency and buying the blue, purple crystals every day early game is a big deal.

White Tiger Coins
Tiger coins can be obtained in the arena. All the Heroes except, Tekka, are useful. If you do not have a Hero in mind only ever purchase the purple soulstones.

Vermillion Bird Coin
Vermillion Birds are obtained by retiring 1-2 star heroes in the barracks (don't retire 3 stars). It is recommended that you only buy purple soulstones with them from the shop.

Azure Dragon Coin
Dragons are obtained from completing battles in the Isle Exploration. It is recommended that you prioritize buying Scarlet Jades from the Isle shop.

Nutaku Coins
Red Artifacts are P2W only and give a significant boost to team performance. They are only offered via time limited value packs and do not show up often. It is recommended that you priorities these offers over everything else.

Regarding Events, The first event purchase is usually good value, consecutive purchases are not.

Some limited time offers appear while leveling. These adjust according to your spending habits. It is recommended that you wait for a stated value of 1000%+ before purchasing. The only exception to that is when [Items|Red Artifacts]] are offered.

Daily and monthly offers are all bad value and should be avoided. The only one recommendable is 500NC for 300 Divinity Crystal daily offer. That will let you fit more members into your playable roster quickly.

Gems
It is recommended that you hold onto some gems; 12000 generally, 3000 minimum. These are for events that pop up like Peggys Sexual Healing that will require some amount of gem usage right away if you are F2P.

Rerolling Exploration quests for Scarlet Jade is highly recommended. 100 4-star, 150 5-star and 500 6-star quests should always be taken if they are available.

So far there have been no discounted summoning events. Only ever do the 3000 gem summon.

If you have a high VIP, purchasing basic coins might be good value (numbers have not been run). coin payout scales up as you progress. so waiting till the last moment and getting only what you need is best.

The first Gem purchase of Fast Rewards is reasonable. It is not recommended to spend more than that.

For shop items 5 purple Soulstones and Scarlet Jades are the only recommended items.
