Four decisions before a long grind
- Claim only what you are eligible for. Start at the lobby fountain with the reported code list. Some later codes have reported level gates, so they are not all first-login rewards. A locked code is a reason to return later, not to stop your session. [1]
- Inspect the summon panel before spending. Read the current cost, featured units and auto-sell selections. Play739's written recording review shows these checks at the summon station; we have not independently reviewed that full recording. Do not let a convenience setting discard a unit you wanted to keep. [2]
- Check roles in the team you own. Give economy and air coverage their own checks instead of selecting only by rarity. Destructoid's launch guide names Joren, Foji and Kitzaru as air options. Confirm current card targeting, then use the role-based comparison to choose your next investment. [3]
- Read the selected unit and battle money. When an upgrade is unaffordable, compare the displayed action cost with the in-stage balance. More summon Gems are not automatically the answer. Change one placement or upgrade decision at a time so you can identify what helped. [2]
Keep the two budgets separate
Gems
Used at the summon panel. Check its current price and auto-sell settings before confirming a purchase.
Battle money
Compare this balance with the selected unit's placement or upgrade cost. A lobby resource count does not establish affordability inside a stage.
Play739's explanation connects the two panels. This distinction is the useful check; we do not promise that a launch recording's price is unchanged today. [2]
Pick the next action from the actual problem
| What you see | Next check | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| A code has a higher reported level gate | Set it aside and check another entry's condition. | That all codes are broken or every entry is a starter reward. |
| Your roster looks rare, but lacks coverage | Inspect the unit's targeting and missing team role. | That a rarer damage unit automatically solves an air problem. |
| The upgrade cannot be afforded | Compare battle money with that selected upgrade's cost. | That you need to buy more summon Gems. |
| A proposed trait costs a large share of your resources | Check whether the unit is a long-term choice and read the live requirement. | That an old milestone printed in a guide is still the current one. |
Let the next mode answer a real need
The official listing describes Nightmare, rotating challenges, daily and weekly tasks, and a Season Pass. Check their live requirements and rewards when you are ready to choose your next objective. A harder mode being available is not proof that your current team can clear it. [4]
This guide covers the first resource and team decisions, not a complete map-by-map clear, evolution recipe book or tested farming route. There is no need to commit an expensive trait before understanding what your team is missing.
