Beginner Guide — How to Start & Progress Fast (2025)

Quick Answer: What Should a Beginner Do First?

Redeem all active codes (gives ~30k gems), summon on the Legendary banner for your first meta unit, complete Story Mode Acts 1-3 to unlock Infinite Mode, then focus on one main DPS unit to carry you through early content. Don’t spread resources across multiple units.

1. First 30 Minutes — The Absolute Basics

Complete the Tutorial

The forced tutorial teaches tower placement, upgrading, and selling. Don’t skip — it rewards 500 gems and a free Legendary ticket.

Redeem Codes Immediately

Go to the Codes page and redeem every active code. As of September 2025, that’s ~30,000+ gems, 50+ trait crystals, and multiple unit tickets. This is your single biggest power spike as a new player.

Understand the UI

Units tab — Your collection, upgrade, evolve, trait reroll
Summon tab — Spend gems on banners (Legendary = best rates)
Index tab — Unit wiki with stats, traits, evolutions
Codes tab — Redemption (Twitter bird icon, left menu)

2. Best Starter Units — What to Aim For

Tier S (Reroll Targets)

Unit	Rarity	Why It’s Good
Sukuna (King of Curses)	Mythic	Best single-target DPS, carries solo
Gojo (Limitless)	Mythic	Best AoE + support hybrid, trivializes waves
Natsu (Dragneel)	Mythic	Insane burn damage, farms fast
Ichigo (Vasto Lorde)	Mythic	High burst, great for bosses

Tier A (Great If You Get Them)

Unit	Rarity	Role
Levi (Captain)	Legendary	Best ground AoE, cheap to upgrade
Rengoku (Flame Hashira)	Legendary	Strong burn, good range
Todoroki (Shoto)	Legendary	Ice/fire dual element, versatile
Saitama (Caped Baldy)	Legendary	One-punch mechanic, fun factor

Reroll strategy: If your first 10-15 summons (from codes) don’t net a Tier S unit, consider rerolling (new account). Mythic rate is ~1% — expect 1 Mythic per 100 pulls.

3. Gem Spending Priority — Don’t Waste Gems

✅ DO Spend Gems On

Legendary Banner summons (1,000 gems = 1 pull, 10,000 = 10+1 with pity)
Trait rerolls on your main DPS (50 gems/roll after free dailies)
Unit slots — Expand to 100+ slots ASAP (50 gems per 5 slots)
Infinite Mode tickets — Only if you’re pushing leaderboards

❌ DON’T Spend Gems On

Mythic Banner (0.5% rate, trap for beginners)
Cosmetic skins / emotes
Gold (farm Infinite Mode instead)
XP boosts (codes give plenty)

4. Trait System — The Hidden Power Ceiling

Every unit has a Trait (passive modifier). Traits range from Common → Rare → Epic → Legendary → Mythic.

Best Traits by Role

Role	Best Traits (Priority Order)
Main DPS	`Requiem` (Mythic) > `Almighty` > `Divine` > `Celestial` > `Vampiric`
Support / Buffer	`Altruistic` (Mythic) > `Blessing` > `Miraculous` > `Holy`
Farm / Hybrid	`Wealthy` (Mythic) > `Golden` > `Rich` > `Fortunate`
Tank / Stall	`Indomitable` (Mythic) > `Adamant` > `Sturdy` > `Hardy`

Reroll Rules

Free daily rerolls: 3 per day (reset 00:00 UTC) — always use these first
Paid rerolls: 50 gems each — only on your main carry unit
Stop at Legendary for supports; push for Mythic on main DPS
Lock good traits (100 gems) before rerolling further

5. Progression Roadmap — Wave 1 to Endgame

Phase 1: Story Mode (Acts 1-6) — Days 1-3

Goal: Unlock Infinite Mode + all maps
Strategy: Use 1 main DPS + 2 supports (buffer + stunner)
Key unlocks: Act 3 → Infinite Mode, Act 6 → Raid maps
Gem target: Save 50k for next Legendary banner

Phase 2: Infinite Mode Farming — Days 3-14

Map: Infinite City (best gold/xp) or Infinite Factory (trait crystals)
Team: 1 Main DPS (Mythic/Legendary) + 1 Buffer + 1 Stunner + 1 Farmer
Daily routine: 3 Infinite runs + 3 trait rerolls + code redemption
Target: Max your main DPS (Level 5000 + max traits)

Phase 3: Raids & Challenge Maps — Weeks 3-6

Raid bosses: King Cursed Mk1, Fallen King, Sea King (weekly rotation)
Requirement: 2-3 maxed units + coordination (Discord/VC recommended)
Rewards: Exclusive units, raid coins (shop), cosmetics

Phase 4: Endgame Optimization — Month 2+

Leaderboard pushes (Infinite wave records)
Collection completion (Index 100%)
Alt accounts for code farming / different metas
Trading (when implemented) for missing units

6. Common Beginner Mistakes — Avoid These

Mistake	Why It Hurts	Fix
Spreading gems across 5+ units	None reach carry threshold	One main DPS to max first
Ignoring trait rerolls	50-100% damage difference	Daily free rerolls on main
Buying Mythic Banner	0.5% rate = wasted gems	Legendary Banner only
Not doing Infinite Mode	Miss gold/xp/trait crystals	3 runs daily minimum
Evolving too early	Wastes evolution materials	Wait for max level (5000)
Selling duplicate Mythics	Might need for future metas	Keep 1 of each Mythic

7. Daily / Weekly Checklist

Daily (5 min):

Redeem new codes (check Codes page)
3 free trait rerolls on main DPS
3 Infinite Mode runs
Claim daily login + mission rewards

Weekly (30 min):

FAQ

Q: Should I evolve my starter Legendary to Mythic? A: Only if it’s your main DPS and you have the materials. Evolution costs 5M gold + 50 trait crystals + specific items. Most Legendaries are fine at Legendary rarity.

Q: What’s the best map for gold farming? A: Infinite City (wave 1000+). Use a Wealthy trait farmer unit for 2x gold.

Q: How do I get more unit slots? A: Shop → Unit Slots (50 gems per 5 slots). Aim for 200+ slots long-term.

Q: Can I play solo? A: Yes, Story and Infinite are soloable. Raids need 2-6 players. Join the Discord for raid groups.

Q: When does the daily reset happen? A: 00:00 UTC — this resets free trait rerolls, daily missions, and shop rotation.
