Now before I start the list, I want to say that I researched a lot about the game when I started. I joined an active guild, joined the Discord chat for the game AND for the guild. Got some great advice, including investing in Arch Mage x3, not upgrading anything less than 5* equipment past level 20, and do 12 battles in arena a day and use the points for 6* equipment and fit stones.

The fastest way to progress is 6* the mages and choosing Arch Mage. For this reason it was better for me to use my honor points for fit stones in the beginning. The AOE attack of arch Mage is necessary because everything else is slower. You could get two mages through story mode including starter, but I was able to buy the 5* Mage from Hero Shop before I got my second free Mage.

Related to the above point: Save up 5k crystals by all means in the beginning until you buy the 5* Mage. Don’t spend it on anything else (except the step rewards because you need to accumulate fit stones) until you buy the 5* Mage. Everything else can wait. Avoid evolving the units because getting the 6* arch Mage is super helpful due to AOE move. I wasn’t patient enough for this so I had to save a little longer, but this was also partly because I wasted some crystals in the beginning on guild lottery. To be honest after buying the 5* Mage, you don’t really have to buy anything else in the shop with crystals. Some people buy 5* warrior so they don’t have to spend the stones evolving Jami from 1* to 6* but I like Jami so I did.

Guild lottery is for late game. For beginners, just check in daily. After you buy the 5* Mage, then you could do lottery if you want. There is a Mage you could buy in guild shop, but it takes 3.3k guild currency so it takes forever to save up. You get two free mages from story and you could buy one Mage from hero shop much easier and you don’t really need more than three mages anyways. You could save up for when you see epic pet pieces pop up.
-
Don’t bother upgrading common pets. They don’t make much of a difference in the beginning and they only boost one unit at a time. Rare pets are better since they boost two units at a time. Don’t worry too much about the pets in the beginning because it’s not worth upgrading the common pets. They just take up space. You eventually will be able to farm rare pet pieces when you could clear normal 8-10, 9-10 and 10-10. I think those stages drop rare pet pieces.
-
In the beginning it seems you have a lot of silver and don’t know how to spend them. You could upgrade your equipment to level 20 for whatever equipment less than 5* you have. For 5* legendary equipment, you could upgrade a bit more. Do not upgrade any equipment less than 6* to 120 because you eventually get these and it takes a lot of silver to equipment 4 sets of equipment to level 120. Also do not upgrade pets in the beginning. Common pets are not worth it.
-
Don’t upgrade pets in the beginning. Wait until you have enough pet pieces for a rare pet to rebirth twice. The reason is it takes a lot of silver to level a pet to level 200 and each time you rebirth a pet it resets the level to 1. However, you are not required to max out a pet level to rebirth it, so you might as well not upgrade it until you rebirth it a few times, then level it.
-
You could level any unit you want, buy any unit you like, and evolve any unit you like. The 6* Mage route is just the fastest way to clear the story and get you farming 5* equipment faster. Just enjoy the game!

If you switch from iPhone to Apple Watch, make the switch before midnight, I switched in the morning and basically had to lose a full day’s worth of steps.
That’s it for now! Hope this was helpful!
