Vortex Gaming

· Although the Hilder character has been added, her performance does not surpass that of the existing Tier 0 character, Ashera Waltz.
· Therefore, it is recommended that only players focusing on PvP pull for Hilder.
· For F2P or low-spending players, it is crucial to only pull for essential characters and focus resources.

· Mileage is generally best used for Cosmic characters of the Order and Chaos attributes.
· It is recommended to save at least 200 mileage in preparation for the next pickup character, Rosaria.
· With this patch, recent pickup characters and Arcanas can now be purchased with mileage, but it is generally not recommended to exchange them.
· However, for paying players, using it to acquire Tier 0 characters or basic copies of Bunny Girl Frey is not a bad option.
· F2P and low-spending players should focus on Cosmic pickups.
· Standard mileage is safest to use for enhancing the Tier 0 Arcana, 'Lacy Arcana'.
· In the early game, Arcana random tickets can be a decent choice, but they are gambling-oriented as they include trap cards.
· Savior random boxes do not yield Cosmic characters or the latest characters (including Bunny Girl characters), so it's best not to purchase them.
· Character breakthroughs can only be considered if you have a very large amount of mileage.

· When starting the game, the first thing you should do is progress through the main story missions.
· Clear missions and events to collect rewards. You can obtain a significant amount of rewards from these missions.
· Be sure to check for summon tickets as achievement rewards each time you clear main story stages or operation zones.
· For Willpower usage, farming 'Twisted Emotions' is recommended. Many pieces of equipment for damage dealers drop here, which greatly helps early progression.

· It is recommended to use the SSR Selector later if possible, as you might pull a duplicate character from a regular summon right after selecting one.
· If you must use it immediately, Ashera Waltz is recommended for her powerful breakthrough effects.
· If Ashera Waltz is already 3-star or higher, you can choose another character.
· My personal recommendation order is as follows:

Rank	Character	Notes
1st Priority	Ashera Waltz	Powerful Breakthrough Effect
2nd Priority	Lacy
3rd Priority	Seira, Luna, Elisa, Lydia	Important for their distinct roles in PvP

· It is unlikely that the next new character, Rosaria, will be included in the selector.
· If you don't have characters like Seira, Luna, or Elisa for PvP, you might face difficulties later, so it's best to save your selector.

· It is not recommended to raise too many Saviors in the early game.
· It is advisable to raise characters of various attributes evenly.
· For boss encounters, at least one character with a favorable attribute is required.
· For more details, please refer to the deck building guide video.

· Leveling up can generally be done freely. You can reset levels at any time, so there's no need to worry too much.
· However, you should be a bit more cautious when raising Resonance levels.
· The resources required for leveling up are Gold, Operation Reports, and Starlight Essence.
· Starlight Essence tends to be scarce before level 200, and Operation Reports become scarce after level 200.
· When opening idle resource boxes, you should choose the option that gives '2 Resource Selection Boxes'.
· From Polaris Support Boxes, you can choose between Operation Reports and Starlight Essence, whichever you need.
· Star Link is a system that allows you to synchronize the levels of your 4 main Saviors, raising the levels of other Saviors along with them.

· Resonance materials and Skill Cubes must be invested very carefully.
· In the early stages, resources are abundant and easy to use carelessly, but they become very scarce later on.
· F2P players should only use these resources on essential characters.
· Skill Cubes, in particular, are important, and a huge amount is required from skill level 8-9 onwards.
· Cosmic Cubes are very rare, so it's best not to raise skill levels carelessly.
· Recommended skill levels can be found in the Google Sheet.
· Investing in top-tier characters with high versatility is best for Resonance and Skill Leveling.
· Of course, investing in your favorite characters is also fine, and this can vary depending on your playstyle.

· The current goal is to quickly clear Main Story Chapter 14 to craft Tier 2 equipment.
· When you receive equipment selection boxes, prioritize equipping them to your main 4 characters.
· For character-specific equipment setup information, you can refer to the comprehensive character build guide in the Google Sheet.
· Necklaces and rings do not have fixed main options, so you must check the main option before claiming them from selection boxes.
· You can long-press on equipment to check its main option.
· Tier 1 equipment is a transitional stage, so excessive investment is unnecessary.
· Recommended enhancement levels for Tier 1 equipment are as follows:

Equipment Type	Recommended Enhancement Level
Weapon/Gloves/Armor	+3 ~ +6
Boots/Necklace/Ring	+9 ~ +15

· If your combat power is lower than the recommended stage combat power, you will receive penalties.
· When you get stuck in an operation, increasing your combat power usually solves most problems.
· You can significantly increase your combat power through Stella Archive and equipment enhancement.

· It is recommended to raise your Resonance level before embarking on a Journey.
· Upon Resonance, you receive additional Journey stats, which lowers the clear difficulty and increases character stats.
· Character level does not affect Journeys.
· Journeys on 'Easy' and 'Normal' difficulties can be done via auto-journey.
· When planning an independent Journey, check the recommended Journey stats in the Google Sheet before proceeding with auto-journey.

· Break Skills can be acquired or enhanced by purchasing 'Break Skill Support Plans' from the shop and through Tactical Analysis.
· Currently, all Break Skills are viable.
· 'Cube Overload' is a very good Break Skill, significantly increasing healing at Level 10.
· However, it requires immense resources to develop, making leveling up quite challenging.
· Personally, I recommend using 'Starpiercer' at Level 1.
· The recently added new Break Skill, 'Dimension Assault', also looks promising, and I am considering developing it.

· Flash Point can be entered 3 times a day, allowing you to farm specific characters or Arcanas.
· Personally, I recommend farming Charlotte's Arcana.
· Ashera Waltz's Arcana fragments also drop, so farming daily is essential.

· **Daily Shop**: Purchase free items first, then buy what you need from the 80% discounted items. 60% discounted items may vary based on individual purchasing criteria.
· **Observation Report Shop, Hunt Quest, Gauntlet Point Shop, Thales Season**: It's generally best to purchase Skill Cubes or Tier 2 Equipment Boxes. Be sure to buy the 50% discounted items from the Observation Report Shop.
· **Supply Pack**: When Resonance materials are scarce, purchasing 'Resonance Material Boxes' is recommended. Skill Cubes are also not bad, but they are expensive, so it's best to buy them only when absolutely necessary.

· It is generally recommended to only raise Petra, Vesta, and Tanya Arcanas up to level 34, not level 35.
· This is because reaching level 35 adds 'Resonance Training Activation Rate' to the Journey's unique effects, and in the current Journey meta, Focus/Protection Training is not used, so an increased Resonance Training Activation Rate can actually be a disadvantage.
· However, it's not a significant disadvantage, so reaching level 35 is not a major problem.
· Personally, I recommend saving mileage and selectors if possible.
· You might not get specific characters, so it's best to use them carefully. Of course, this doesn't apply to lucky players.
