The $0 Path

🦸 Build a Free Core

  • Build Arthur first. He is obtainable through Tavern summons and remains a strong long-term frontline tank.
  • Develop Bella as an accessible second option. Her shards are available through the Alliance Shop. A properly developed hero is often more useful than a stronger hero left under-leveled.
  • After Bella, work toward Grenwald and Stellar. Stellar provides valuable healing and PvE support.
  • Avoid heavy investment in SR heroes. They can fill temporary early-game positions, but their long-term ceiling is low.
  • Use free Tavern summons consistently. The supplied summon rates list UR at 2.80%, SSR at 17.00%, and SR at 40.20%, with a guaranteed UR by 50 summons. Confirm the current banner rules in-game.

🏗️ Progress Without Paying

  • Recommended early research order: Squad 1 → Soldier → Elite Troop. Delay heavy Hero-branch investment until the core account systems are established.
  • Claim star-milestone rewards manually. Bonuses such as Doctor speed, healing radius, and Hero HP may remain unclaimed until you open the milestone screen.
  • Collect the small Free reward on the Weekly Pass screen and the daily free VIP chest.
  • Stack construction bonuses before using speedups: Builder's Hut → Alliance Help → Alliance Construction Research → survivor assignments → Curio bonuses.
  • A strong long-term target is Sanctuary Level 30 with the main heroes progressing toward 10★ before the Era of Revival reaches the server.

💎 Protect Your Diamonds

For a free or low-spending account, diamonds should buy scarce progression—not convenience that disappears immediately.

  • Primary uses: Universal UR Hero Shards, Stamina, and direct teleports.
  • Avoid: instant finishes and routine speedup purchases.
  • Check the Diamond, VIP, Alliance, Expedition, and Sanctuary shops for Universal UR Hero Shards when available.
  • Honor Shop exception: prioritize UR equipment blueprints. Start with the weapon blueprint for your main damage dealer.
  • Other exception: consider a UR Curio Chest when it provides better account value than the available shard offers.

The Paid Path: Best Value Up to $50

1. First Top-Up Pack — About $1

If the displayed pack still awards Marlena, this is the strongest first purchase. She gives a new account an excellent primary damage dealer for very little cost.

2. Permanent Build Queue — About $1.99

A permanent queue improves construction throughput every day. Its value grows over time because it reduces development bottlenecks for the life of the account.

3. Second Research Queue — About $9.99

Running two technologies simultaneously greatly improves Research Lab throughput. Purchase it after the build queue if you intend to play consistently.

4. Premium Monthly Pass — About $24.99

The supplied offer includes approximately 5,500 diamonds, an extra march, and VIP-related benefits. It requires regular logins to receive its full value. Unlike the queue unlocks, monthly-pass benefits are recurring or time-limited unless the game explicitly states otherwise.

Optional Final $10

If you want to use nearly the full budget, add:

  • Weekly Diamond Pass — $4.99: approximately 2,100 diamonds.
  • Weekly Hero EXP Pass — $4.99: approximately 278 million Hero EXP.

These bring the supplied plan to about $47.95 before tax.

Situational: The $9.99 Healing Pass may help early accounts but loses value later. Do not treat it as a permanent routine purchase.

👑 Understand VIP Before Spending

VIP Level and VIP Status are separate systems. VIP Level is cumulative and permanently unlocks features. VIP Status is time-limited; its percentage bonuses only apply while Status is active.

  • VIP 6: an important milestone associated with an additional build queue.
  • VIP 8: adds useful march-size benefits.
  • Returns beyond VIP 8 may be less efficient for a sub-$50 account, so compare the cost with direct hero and gear progression.
  • VIP experience can come from daily login rewards and Alliance Gift Chests generated by member purchases.
  • An active alliance can therefore accelerate VIP progress without requiring every member to spend.

Before paying to activate VIP Status, calculate whether you will be active enough during its duration to benefit from the bonuses.

🚫 Purchases to Avoid

  • Temporary buffs: the value disappears when the timer ends.
  • Cosmetics: skip them when progression is the goal.
  • Resource bundles: active gathering usually provides better value.
  • Small speedup packs: use Alliance Help and permanent speed bonuses first.
  • Marlena banner spins: avoid the 9,000-diamond ten-pull if cheaper awakening-shard sources are available later.
  • Impulse offers: do not buy a pack simply because its timer is expiring.

✅ Before You Buy

  1. Confirm the displayed price and contents.
  2. Check whether the benefit is permanent or timed.
  3. Make sure tax will not exceed your $50 cap.
  4. Collect every free reward first.
  5. Compare the purchase with Universal UR Shards, stamina, and permanent queues.
  6. Buy only from the official in-game store.

Best-value summary: Marlena first, then permanent construction and research capacity. Add the Monthly Pass only if you log in consistently, and use the two weekly passes only when you want to approach the full $50 budget.
