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

Sex scene events are brutal and require everyone to spend gems or nutaku gold to complete as well as requiring very high activity around the clock or the use of a macro/automation. If you are playing on PC it is highly recommended that you install and use the bluestacks emulator since it has a built in macro tool that makes events much easier.

How does leveling work?
You should be leveling your 5 highest star ranked girls and ONLY your 5 highest star ranked girls. This is because of the Stone Tablet takes the lowest level of your 5 highest leveled heroes and gives it to all the heroes in the tablet. This system streamlines the leveling process compared to other games and makes the goal to evenly level your top 5 heroes as best you can to maximize your usable pool of heroes.

A characters level is tied to their star rank. Each star raises the max level by 20. so a 5* hero has a max rank of 100. A 9* hero 180 and so on. Heroes in the tablet ignore level caps and can hit maximum level even as a 5*. Epics have a total potential level of 180 (9 stars), legendaries can reach 240 (12 star).

When it comes time to switch the heroes in your primary roster, you can use the Barracks to de-level a hero and get back all your resources (costs 20 gems)

Now lets talk about how to put this into practice.

The most useful epic girls are the following but for the most part it is not too important which epics you chose to level. The game provides you with when you start.

With that said, in my opinion it is best to level up 4 epics, and 1 Legendary. This allows you to concentrate your fodder into getting 4 characters to 9 stars as quickly as possible. It is best to choose 1 of each color. I personally chose For the 5th character you have 2 options.


 * 1) Free to play option: I would choose a Legendary DPS character as that gives you a boost to damage allowing you to go further sooner. GenesisIcon.png and HuaxiIcon.png are good choices since you are given a copy of them right away, and because by the time you are approaching all 5 characters being level 100, you should be close to enough points to buy another from the Arena store or the Isle Exploration store. However, if you pull 2 copies of any other T1 or above character, you could temporarily invest in them to allow you to get your Tablet to level 120.
 * 2) * After your leveling slows down around level 140 you may obtain enough copies of a legendary girl to reset and replace an epic girl early. For example, if you obtain four copies of KatherineIcon.png, you can ascend her to 8 stars and reset 7 star GarterIcon.png. This will let you level KatherineIcon.png to 141+ when you get 6,000 Scarlet Jade rather than 30,000. This also lets you feed 7 star GarterIcon.png to KatherineIcon.png for 8*->9*. If you ascend GarterIcon.png to 8 stars, you will need to build a new 7 star for KatherineIcon.png 8*->9*, which (depending on your luck) may take longer than finding two more KatherineIcon.png copies. I only recommend doing this for girls who are obtainable in a shop to guarantee the necessary copies to get to 9*. (So NOT OliviaIcon.png.)
 * 3) Dolphin / Mini Whale option: I would still prefer the F2P option, but you can level a 5th epic character.  Which one you choose is directly related to which faction you plan to summon in. Since faction tickets will yield a bunch of additional fodder. If you plan to summon Green then choose LiliIcon.png due to her usefulness. If you plan to summon Red then choose KasumiIcon.png due to her outer area bonus for ShitouIcon.png though it doesn't matter much since shitou is trash now. If you plan to summon Blue then choose FenghsiaIcon.png due to her outer area bonus for AyanoIcon.png. If you plan to summon Brown then choose NiyahIcon.png due to her outer area bonus for AyanoIcon.png. (While a free to play may choose this option, you won't really get any faction summon tickets early on.  I had 5 level 100 before I got 10 faction summon tickets)

Most people's opinion of the best use for faction summons is in Green. As of end of March 2022. Once a patch releasing into the summon pulls then it would be red or green.

Epics are not good units in general but you get lots of them early on and can use them to quickly raise your level cap.

You are guaranteed to get in your first 10 pull. She and other legendary heroes should be put in the tablet, while you use epics as your leveling tools to quickly hit level 180. Legendaries are much less common and as such generally don't rank up as fast but are much stronger than epics. If you are lucky and a legendary out star ranks your slotted epics you should switch her out into your main team.

Who should i star rank up
First lets talk about who you should not star rank. There are 4 trap heroes that people often start ranking only to find out that they are trash. you should avoid these girls as they are weak and will slow progression:

is a very good tank later on, but building her too early will hinder you. Don't build her before you're capable of reaching 9-stars and +20 in her weapon.

This is the best team comp for f2p and players that cannot buy event girls:



Regarding festival event girls, it is recommended to focus only one since it will take months to star rank them up as F2P.

Reasoning: She gives up to 45% ATK to the highest ATK unit in the party. In parties that lack multiple DPS options (most F2P forever, spenders early on) she can greatly enhance your DPS by buffing your strongest DPS. Nothing in her kit requires stars, only levels. Her buffs and heals are just as effective at all star levels as they are at the lowest star levels, all that improves is her survivability (and dmg which barely matters).
 * 1: JihkuangIcon.png

(Note: Jill not available yet to Steam players) (Note2: Meiyueh and Jill are commended as #2 primarily because they require stars to reach their full potential of dealing damage, while Jihkuang does not. It is strongly recommended to go with Jihkuang first, usually built to 9* which typically requires 6-7 months.)
 * 2: MeiyuehIcon.png OR JillIcon.png

Reasoning: We generally say "Meiyueh is hotter, Jill does more damage." This is not to say Meiyueh does not deal damage. She attacks the lowest DEF party member on the opposing team, so she is valuable for prioritizing and removing the softest target. Meiyueh also has an up to 80% chance to stealth herself each turn, making her untargetable by single target attacks/effects. This partially makes up for the fact that most likely F2P will have a low-star Meiyueh forever. Meiyueh synergizes with and 's weapon once it reaches +20 or higher. Meiyueh has paper-thin HP and dies easily to AoE or single target effects that get through her stealth, and she can be easily countered by placing a tank with low PDEF (usually from low star level) as a target for Mei to get stuck on. When on the offensive.

Reasoning: Jill typically deals more overall damage than Meiyueh. Her normal attack has a random chance of dealing increasingly higher number of attacks, with the potential to just 1-shot her target. Lower stars will mean it will take greater RNG to do so. Her ultimate is also very useful, dispelling up to 3 strengthen effects on the enemy party (things like ATK buffs, or Huaxi's CDMG passive buff) and it hits all 5 targets of the enemy party. Jill synergizes with other Rangers, like  and  because she receives and benefits greatly from all of their buffs. Jill attacks random targets rather than predictable ones, which is both good and bad, but her primary weakness is the lack of any self-protection measures, so a low-star Jill may be a frail glass cannon.

Runners up: Reasoning: She is used in the F2P and most other compositions for Tiger boss (but only a 5* copy is required) but won't be very useful until she reaches around 9-star. She splits damage across a team, which is a useful and advanced mechanic, but tends not to be used until end-game. Reasoning: Not currently used in any bosses. She makes a strong off-tank (tank who supports another tank) but she won't be very useful until around 9-star with heavy investment. A powerful unit, but when lacking HP may not be able to stand her ground in the toughest fights without high stars.

How do I star 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.

The only exception to the rule above is. She is a bad hero and has no hope of being better in the future. She also does not pair with anyone useful in the Outer Area

It is recommended that you focus your ranks into your DPS first, then your tank and healer in that order.

It is recommended to prioritize ranking above all others as she provides the highest most consistent damage out side of event girls.

From 8* to 9* legendary hero required less fodder than epic hero.

How should I farm/grind?
Event quests, AFK and floor clearing are the only ways to grind. All of these are time gated activities. AFK rewards generate over time, Event quests have daily activities, Floor clearing is limited by your heroes hero power level.

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.

Event synergies and strategies
There are often multiple events running at the same time, and it always pays to check each event's Missions to see what they require you to do in order to earn that event's currency.

All of the "win a girl" events (Lucky Wheel, Wishing Fountain) require you to spend at least some Gems in order to hit the guaranteed grand prize (pity prize). If you do not get the girl after doing all of the free missions, then it is almost always worth it to spend a few Gems (even as a F2P player) doing the cheapest extra mission in order to reach the pity prize. The listed 2.5% drop rate is almost definitely a lie, so you most likely will not get the girl before having to do an extra Mission.

If a Mission is "Purchase from Store ## times", note that purchases from any Store counts, even other Event Stores. As a result, it is often preferable to "waste" some event currency on cheap useless store exchanges, in order to trade for Missions in events with more valuable items. An example of this is Ancient Vault's "Purchase from Store ## times" mission. If an Outer Realm Invasion is happening at the same time, use the extra currency there (after buying as many girl Shards as you can) to buy multiple copies of the cheapest offering (coins).

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. Stop seducing at exactly 800 points. If you can't make it to 800, stop at 400 and save the rest. The goddess shop is the primary way you will level your goddesses. It might be a good idea to buy blue soul of goddess every day until you unlock level 31. After that, it's important to buy Goddess Shard boxes, red Chaotic Stones, and red Soul of Goddess, in that order, every day. This is because those materials aren't found outside of the goddess shop.

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

Ancient Coins
Ancient coins are obtained from Ancient Battlefields. You can buy Dark Crystal Pieces (11-20) to get all your character's weapons to +20. Or Heavenly Stones (blue) to get Huaxi's weapon to +30. Do not buy the Soulstones.

Nutaku Coins
The following are the most valuable offers to spend your money on:

Growth Fund (Only available in the first 7 days)

Monthly Gems (The larger offer is slightly better. Both are good)

Secret Mandate (Gives you 10 5* heroes for 3000 NG)

Kings Order Event (spend 1000 NG for 6 days and get a red artifact)

See the Gems and Gold Section for a more in-depth look.

Special offer Packs
There are a lot of offers out there that are complete trash.

Below are bad value items that are used to dilute packs: Goddess Seduction items Prayer Summoning Tickets Gear Leveling resources (silver, blue jade, red jade)

Below are high value items: Red artifacts {high value} Purple soulstones (high value) Blue soulstones {ok value} Standard summoning tickets (ok value) Faction summoning tickets (ok to poor value) Guaranteed faction legendary (ok to poor value)

More Details
Red Artifacts are P2W only and give a significant boost to team performance. They are only offered via time limited value packs and the Kings Order Event It is recommended that you priorities these offers over everything else.

The Kings Order event requires you to spend 1000 NG every day for 6 days. the rewards are 1 red artifact 6 gold artifact 12 summoning tickets and 2 red artifact fodder. It is by far the best way to get red artifacts as you are getting all the items from the packs you are purchasing as well as the artifact. All of that for 1000 NG more than what it would normally cost you from limited value packs.

Regarding Value Offers, 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 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
See the Gems and Gold Section for a more in-depth look.

It is recommended that you hold onto some gems; 12000 generally, 3000 minimum. These are for events that pop up like EventClicker2 that will require some amount of gem usage right away if you are F2P. Recently the rewards for the events have been very good in addition to the h-scenes you get to complete.

Rerolling Exploration quests for 5* and 6* Scarlet Jade and Soulstone quests are highly recommended if you are not purely F2P.

So far there have been no discounted summoning events. It is not recommended to spend any gems on summoning. If you do, only do the 11 pull summons.

When good heroes come around spending gems on fountain quests can be worth while as long as you are not burning through your h-scene event reserves.

Fast rewards should only be purchased if you are completing an event quest.

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

Combat Strategies
Combat uses the standard rock, paper, scissors formula as most gatcha games. here is a handy chart.



When building a team you should look to have a strong primary hero in each of the three primary categories. Tank, Healer, DPS.

These are the recommended tanks for long term use. (Click the image to read more)

Tanks:

Healer:

DPS:

All support heroes and a few others have passive effects that buff other units. An example of this is 's damage buff for all units in the backline or 's crit chance buff for ranger units. Be sure to read your teams skills to effectively pair and place them.
