After the first one of these, each subsequent one massively boosts one of the related characters’ stats.
While it’s easy to be so caught up in the grind that the story seems like a waste of time, be sure to watch your character bond cutscenes at the very least.
The addition of these second skills doubles the utility of many characters and allows you to plan more intricate team combinations. Unlike unison attacks which depend on your blue bar filling up, skills happen regularly over the course of a battle. At Rank 4, characters gain the use of their second skill.
Early strategy for smashing four full#
Some of the characters that serve you best while you level may be garbage in the end game–but you have to get to the end game for that to matter.Ĥ) Do everything you can to get to Rank 4 asap.īy giving a character a full set of gear, you are able to have them “rank up.” Do this three times to any given character and everything changes. The problem is that the vast majority of these are geared toward the endgame–i.e., when the characters hit their level cap–and not when someone is just starting out. A core group of English speakers have been playing the game since its Japanese release and so there are tier lists and party composition opinions all over the place. When you’re building your team, you might be tempted to look online and see which of the characters you have are “good.” This is a double-edged sword. So if you’re ever stuck, it could just be you’re doing the wrong type of damage.ģ) Don’t pay attention to tier rankings–those are for the end game. Both your party and the individual enemies tend to be weak to one or the other. It’s also important to note that there are two kinds of damage in the game, magical and physical. Eventually, even that may not be enough and you’ll need to add a healer to the mix to keep the tanks alive.
Having two tank characters in the front row–especially ones that automatically heal themselves like Pecorine or Miyako–becomes more and more necessary. However, as time goes on and the enemies’ HP pool gets larger, battles become more drawn out and survivability becomes key. However, as things get harder, you’re going to need a solid spread of characters–hopefully with at least one 3 star character.Ģ) The best group composition for main quests is two frontline tanks and either 3 DPS or two DPS and a healer.Īt the start of the game, you can get away with picking only damage dealers and just smashing your way to victory. If you are F2P like myself, you’re going to be tempted to horde them. In your first few days with the game, you’re going to get an absolutely insane amount of gems from clearing the main quests, daily missions, and the battle arena that can be spent on the gatcha. So here’s some advice gained from my struggles in the game so far.ġ) Roll the 10-pull character gatcha three times minimum. However, while that article might let you understand how the game generally works, it doesn’t really give you much strategic knowledge if you choose to try the game out for yourself.
