AR 1-16: Tutorial Phase

Focus On

  • Complete the Archon (main story) Quests
  • Follow quest markers
  • Open chests you encounter
  • Use whoever you enjoy

Avoid

  • Don't spend Primogems on Standard Banner
  • Don't level more than 4-5 characters
  • Don't stress about team building yet

AR 16-25: Exploration Phase

Priorities

  1. Unlock all Teleport Waypoints
  2. Continue Archon Quests (unlock regions)
  3. Start building 4 main characters
  4. Do Daily Commissions every day

Character Investment

  • Pick 1 DPS to focus on
  • Level to current cap
  • Weapon > Character Level > Talents

Common Mistakes

❌ Ignoring Daily Commissions (60 primos/day!) ❌ Spreading resources too thin ❌ Not doing Archon Quests
