Guide to Early & Mid-Game

By Lou

Hero Progression: Focus on SSR and SP

Heroes are grouped by rarity:

R, SR, SSR, and SP Tiers: Early and mid-game progression centers on building a strong SSR and one SP hero, while SR heroes serve as “food” to upgrade your top picks.

Understanding Factions and Key Heroes for Early Game

The game’s heroes are divided into factions based on historical states:

Wei, Wu, Shu: Represent the Three Kingdoms, ancient Chinese states.
Qun: Inspired by the Qin dynasty.

Each faction contains SR, SSR, and SP heroes. Focus on SSR and SP heroes for sustained progress.

Early Game Hero Recommendations by Type

SSR Heroes

Warrior

Zhao Yun: Early/mid-game tank with high survivability, dodge, and lifesteal.
Zhou Tai: Gains brief invincibility, ideal when facing difficult stages.

Agility

Ma Chao: Free starter hero with lifesteal, effective for early/mid-game campaign victories.

Mage

Jia Xu: High backline damage; keep a tank in front for protection.
Pang Tong: Great AoE and burn damage for DPS.

SP Heroes

Warrior

Lv Bu: Controls and disrupts enemies, ideal tank with healing and crowd control for mid-game.

Daily Tasks and Event Focus for Early/Mid Game Progress

Daily Rewards and Challenges

Complete daily tasks for resources essential to early-game progress. F2P players benefit greatly from these as they provide a steady supply of resources.

Buildings and Resource Management

Arcade: Use Arcade coins for advanced crystals and gold chests.
Guild and Beauty: Unlock Ornate Palace and use Zhao Jun’s Willow Smoke for late-game survivability.
Tech Center: Focus upgrades on Class Expertise and Equipment Mastery tailored to your primary hero type.
Recruitment: Save summon scrolls for Monday to align with daily quests. Use Advance Recruit for random heroes or Faction Recruit to target specific factions.

Building Your Core Team

Prioritize maxing one SSR and one SP hero before expanding to others. Save resources to build a balanced team that includes one tank, one DPS, and a support or mage for versatility in both PvE and PvP modes.

PvE and PvP Modes to Prioritize

Railway Pursuit: Daily stages yield energy for training. If strong, use Smash for quick completion.
Martial Class: Grants experience and loot; retry stages daily for progression.
Shadow Alley: Solo (3-hero) and Squad (5-hero) modes allow progressive challenges, perfect for building Beauty Destiny rewards.

PvP and PvE Content in Mid-Game

Air Route (PvE): Boss fights, relics, and trials for unique resources.
Galaxy League (PvP): Engage in battles with ranks, group trials for multiplayer stages, and opportunities for valuable PvP rewards.

F2P Tips for Early and Mid-Game Success

Resource Management: Save items for events rather than using them immediately.
Hero Selection: Limit SSR and SP heroes to focus resources efficiently.
Lineup Guide: Begin with Ma Chao, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun, Zhou Ta, and your chosen SP hero to establish a reliable team.
Daily Goals: Complete all daily and weekly quests for free rewards and fast progression.
Effective Jade Use: Prioritize shop items over hero recruitment, investing in heroes shards and cristals.

Event Tips for Early and Mid-Game Success

Resource Saving for Events: Save recruitment scrolls and gold chests / fighters exp chests to participate in event-specific quests.
Lineup Adaptation for Difficult Stages: Include Zhou Tai if your frontline struggles to survive.
Observe and Learn: Review other players’ lineups for insight on effective strategies.

Hero Progression: Focus on SSR and SP Heroes

To advance, you’ll need to sacrifice copies of the same hero, which is why it’s best to focus on one SSR and one SP hero during early and mid-game. By endgame, you’ll have all SSR heroes fully advanced, making it easier to expand to others.

Training, Awakening, and Fighter Star Upgrades

Apply these upgrades only to your active heroes. Initially, concentrate on one SSR, then, using the reset feature, shift resources to your chosen SP hero in endgame.
