💎 Early Game Tips

Union Level (Account Level)

• Priority: Raise Union Level ASAP by doing story quests and daily tasks
• Unlocks: Higher level = more features, better rewards, higher level cap for characters
• Waveplates (Stamina): Don't let them cap at 240/240. Spend them daily.

What to Spend Waveplates On

1. Character Ascension Materials (Priority 1)
2. Weapon Ascension Materials (Priority 2)
3. Echo Farming (Priority 3, after level 30)
4. Shell Credits (When you need money)

Currency Management

• Astrite (Premium): Save for limited banners. Don't spend on standard banner.
• Lustrous Tides: Standard summon tickets. Use freely.
• Radiant Tides: Limited banner tickets. Save for characters you want.
• Basic currency. Always needed for upgrades.

🔊 Echo System Explained

Echoes are your gear system. They provide stats and set bonuses. Understanding this early saves resources later.

Echo Basics

• Cost: Each echo has a cost (1, 3, or 4). Total team cost limit: 12.
• Main Stat: Determined by echo cost. 4-cost = best main stats.
• Substats: Random. Reroll using materials (late game focus).
• Sonata Effect: Set bonuses. Need 2 or 5 pieces of same set.

Early Game Echo Strategy

1. Don't farm echoes before Union Level 30 - waste of stamina
2. Use whatever you pick up - don't invest in upgrading early
3. Focus on Sonata Effects - 2-piece bonus is easy to get
4. Save your Echo EXP materials - you'll need them for endgame

👥 Your First Team

A good team needs: 1 Main DPS + 1 Sub-DPS/Buffer + 1 Healer

F2P Starter Team

This team is completely free and can clear all early game content. Upgrade your Rover first.

Combat Basics

• Concerto Energy: Swap characters to build this. Full bar = powerful swap attack.
• Resonance Liberation: Your ultimate. Costs energy, high damage.
• Dodge & Counter: Perfect dodge triggers counterattack. Essential for hard content.
• Elemental Reactions: Mix elements for bonus effects. Spectro + Havoc = good combo.

📅 Daily Routine (10-15 Minutes)

1. Claim Daily Login Rewards
2. Complete Daily Quests (3 quick missions)
3. Spend Waveplates (don't let them cap)
4. Check Redeem Codes - visit our codes page
5. Free Summons - use standard banner tickets
6. Event Missions - if active, they give great rewards

❌ Common Beginner Mistakes

• Spending Astrite on Standard Banner - Save for limited banners only
• Upgrading Low-Rarity Echoes - Waste of materials, you'll replace them quickly
• Ignoring Daily Quests - Easy source of premium currency
• Spreading Resources Too Thin - Focus on 3 characters max early on
• Buying Waveplates with Astrite - Terrible value, never do this
• Skipping Story Quests - They unlock features and give great rewards
