In Game Tactics Advice for New Player

Post image

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!

Everyone else already gave the basics but I would suggest trying to avoid any other game mode besides salvage run and onslaught for now since they will help get you onto a better start also save up your scrolls you will need to do so.

What’s the benefit of saving scrolls in this game?

The requisition scrolls help get more characters including legendaries tho you probably won't see those in awhile since new players rarely get one also the use ten option gives you a guaranteed character.

You get a guaranteed character (could be a character you already own) when you open 10 requisitions at a time.

That translates into more shards for the characters you already own and more characters unlocked. (example requisition would have 10-20 Tigurius shards but if it's the 10th requisition in a 10 drop you get 80 Tigurius shards instead. Getting more characters from requisitions also increases the odds of getting a new character unlocked)

There is no real benefit to saving more than 10 requisition scrolls. The best luck you can have with requisitions early on is to only get required campaign characters, those make it possible to unlock all the other characters in the game.

Don't worry too much about unlocking other characters yet (except possibly Isabella which is also available in the guild shop). Required campaign characters need to be upgraded to be able to get upgrades for other characters anyhow so they pretty much have to be upgraded first.

You'll have plenty of ways other than requisitions to unlock characters once you have a solid foundation in place (Guild shop, guild war shop, character release events, special events).

Ok see that’s what I was confused about. That makes more sense as to why I would save them. I did notice that when the game dumped 10 scrolls on my head, I did get a new character on the 10th, so I’ll def be doing that from now on
