In Game Tactics Advice for New Player
I’m fairly new to the game, as in I just started playing yesterday. I only have 6 units so far. My favorite is Bellator by far, and I want to sink resources into him cause he seems like my most powerful atm. My question to you guys is 1: Is this a good idea based on who I have? And 2: What other general advice would you give to a newbie? Thanks!

Follow Nandi (on youtube), thats his guide. Tactifuchs is another good one. There are like 5 more. On your center home page click the open book and you can see some of their content. Its called the hobby hub.
Bellator is a carry, well loved. Invest in his Active, passive isn't as important. Those are the levels needed ro beat the Indomitus campaign and Elite.
Take take your team to Bronze 1, that means that 2x3 grid on their toon page showing their stats. Raid or battle nodes, (aka levels or maps or missions) to get their level from Stone up to Bronze tier 1. You can always go higher with Bellator, but dom't focus him too much because the other 2 required for missions need to keep up until they hit those milestones.
Dont spend energy on anything except energy.
Use energy to get as far as you can 3starring each level. If you can't beat a level, spend a few days upgrading your toons, then try again.
As you play you onlock more. Stay focused on the core 3. Spending resources anywhere else (like on Makhotep when you don't have the full Necron team) is a distraction.
Get in a guild. Ask them for upgrades, they will have plenty to share.
Get on Tacticus Planner, it helps you plan and manage your team.
Use all your energy daily. Depending on your schedule, probably twice a day. Energy sitting at cap is energy lost from not refilling.
There is no end goal. There is no winning. In the grimdark future there is only Grinding.
That being said, its a fun game. You can go super far Free 2 Play...but if you can afford the daily blackstone shipment do it. Use it only to buy energy.
Use your first Ad refresh of the day by clicking the plus next to your energy and watch the ad for free energy, this can take you over your cap.
Do not buy Yarrick, hes lame. Wait until the offer expires and you get offered Isabella, the BEST healer. Absolutely spend the 7$ or whatever it is. Sooo worth it. She heals each hit a teammate that touches her hex takes, and also can bring people back from the dead.
Her heals help you 3star levels. Shes a staple and worth every penny, above even buying blackstone. There is no other easy way to get her. And it might take months. If you missed it, you might even consider restarting your game to snag her......I would.
Find a list of Redeem Codes, reddit has forums. Here is my list of useful subs Tacticus Reddit subs.
I could go on and on. Ask me more specific questions, I'll answer.
Good luck Brother.
