Walkthrough: Starting Out

## **Starters**

### **Starting Pet**

Your first pet is Mushworm! This is a rare pet that can also be obtained through the gacha, which will help upgrade them later on.

### **Starting Weapon**

Your first Weapon is the GINI - Rainbow Zero!

### **Starting Character**

Your first character will always be Sakura. (Not that this is a bad thing!) She can also be obtained through the gacha, which will be useful for upgrading her later on.

#### **Sakura**

Sakura is a common support character whose skills focus on raising crit rate and crit damage, allowing herself and other characters to do more damage overall. Her best weapon type is Bullet , with Energy as her second best. Your weapon, the GINI - Rainbow Zero is of type Bullet  already, so you can start out with optimal damage. You can learn more about Sakura and her attributes here!

## **First Impressions**

### **Names**

After a Brief Cutscene(link), you will meet Ivey(link) in the ship. Ivey will ask you if you remember your name, and you can enter one in. Your name CAN be changed later, but not for free. A name change costs 6 Gumdrops, which cost real-world currency. 6 Gumdrops can be purchased from the shop for $0.99 USD.

### **Game Console**

After this interaction, you'll be directed to the Game Console. This is how you access all the Stages in the game. When first interacting with the Game Console, you will be brought to the planet interface. All the Levels are divided by the Star they are in, with Fruitland being the first. When you select a planet, you will be able to see all the levels it contains! The first stage is 1-1. When you select a level, you will be able to see a few different things. These are the Normal rewards, the First-Clear rewards, the Fuel Cost of the level, and the amount of fuel you currently have. To start the level, select the red GO button towards the bottom.

### **Team Composition**

After selecting the GO button, you'll see your current Team Composition. At the moment, it is comprised of only Sakura, GINI - Rainbow Zero, and Mushworm, but as you progress, youll be able to equip different characters, weapons, and pets to each slot. For now, just notice that Sakura is set in the Leader slot. This allows her Leader Skill to be active during this fight. We'll go more in detail with Leader Skills later, but for now just enjoy the boosted damage from Sakura and press go :)

### **First Fight**

After landing on the planet, Ivey explains that there are pets that have been infected by Sea Urchins. To help them, you have to defeat them! You can hold and drag anywhere on the left side of the screen to move, and tap or hold down the right side of the screen to attack with your weapon. Sakura's equipped weapon is ranged, so the best thing to do is keep your distance while firing. Your pet will also attack on its own! For the first level, you have to defeat 13 enemies in 5 minutes, which shouldn't be too difficult!

### **Upgrade**

After you win your first fight, you'll get a bunch of useful materials to help you level up Sakura! Ivey will point you towards the Simulation Deck after you clear 1-1. When you interact with it, you'll be able to see all your characters, pets, and weapons, which are separated by tabs at the top. At the moment, the only character you have is Sakura, so upgrade her for the tutorial! After you select her, you'll see a lot of information. To the left, you'll see Your Character's level, star ranking, stats, blood type, and skill information. To the right you can find their rarity and preferred weapons, and at the bottom you can see how close they are to levelling up, give them Battery to increase their level, and promote them. For now, just upgrade Sakura as much as you can by holding down the burger until her level is maxxed out! After she is level 10, you can tap the burger again to raise her Star Level. Raising the star level of a character can get expensive later on, but fortunately you just got more than enough materials! After you raise her star level, you can choose to continue upgrading her, upgrade your Mushworm, upgrade GINI - Rainbow Zero, or save your materials for someone else. The decision is yours! However, I would recommend saving your battery, as you might get someone else you like soon!

### **Second Verse; Worse(?) Than the First**

After exiting the Simulation Dock, you unlock a new level in Fruitland: Level 1-2. Walk over to the Game Console and Interact with it again. Before you start, Ivey will give you some Revive Coins, which allow you to revive a character if they are defeated in battle! You may also notice in the first clear rewards that there seems to be someone new waiting for you after you win. You have to beat 16 enemies in 5 minutes, which should be easy now that Sakura is stronger! You may also want to use her Skill for an even greater damage boost. You can activate her skill by tapping the moon icon by the attack button! Sakura's skill increases your team's Crit Rate and Crit Damage significantly, which basically means more damage all around! However, it has a 35s Cooldown time, so use it wisely!

### **Third Round Knockout**

After beating 1-2, you unlock Nana! Nana's best weapon type is Bash{}. You also unlock the GINI - Mango Popsicle, which is a Bash{} Type weapon! Convenient! Go over to the Game Console and select 1-3. In the Team Composition menu, you will now be able to add Nana as a member! Tap the empty slot and select him. Before you start this stage, you can upgrade him by tapping the orange SIM button, or you can go back to the team composition menu by tapping the orange arrow at the top right. After you're back at the team composition menu, equip Nana's weapon by tapping the second empty slot and selecting the mango popsicle (you can upgrade this, too!). Unfortunately, you still only have one pet, so you cannot equip another to the third empty slot. That's ok, though! You can get more pets later :) This time, you have to beat 26 enemies in 5 minutes. This shouldn't be difficult, though, because now you have Nana! Nana's weapon is melee, so he does the most damage by getting close to opponents. You can select which character you control on the right side of the screen. Nana's Skill does heavy damage in a circular shape around him, so use it on tough opponents or on crowds!

### **THE TV DOG**

After you beat 1-3, Ivey repairs the Star Healer TV Station! Interact with it to see the 10 Day Sign In and the Fuel Station! Right now, you can get 5000 Battery from the Daily Check-In (Assuming it's your first day!). Go ahead and claim it by tapping the big yellow button. The 10 Day Sign in does not have to be claimed every day, you can still get all the rewards if you miss logging in for a few days! You will also see the monthly Login to the right. If you log in for 3, 12, or 24 different days during a month, you can get special materials! Tap on the Fuel station. You can get fuel three times a day based on what time it is! You might be able to claim some right now.

### **New Stage Type**

1-4 is different from the past few stages. The last three have been Elimination Stages, where you have to defeat enemies within a certain time frame. 1-4 is a Pufferfish Guard stage. In this type of stage, you have to keep enemies from destroying the pufferfish for a certain period of time. Enemies won't attack you directly, but will target the pufferfish. In this stage, you will have to protect the Pufferfish for one minute! Additionally, you unlock the option to Disperse your Allies and Auto attack. Dispersing your allies means that the characters you aren't directly controlling will not follow you and will attack on their own. This setting is recommended in general, but especially if you have a mix of melee and ranged weapons on your team! You can do this by tapping the yellow button on the left. Auto attack is exactly what it sounds like: You sit back while the game plays itself. This is useful for stages you need to do multiple times, easy stages, and this stage type specifically! However, be careful when using it, because the cat playing for you isn't the best gamer.

### **Baby's First Gamble**

After you beat 1-4, you get a 10x Jelly Coupon! This allows you to draw in the Jelly gacha, which has just unlocked. When you tap the Gacha Pool Icon, you'll see a few different types of banners. There's two activity pools, the sugar pool, the permanent pool, the jelly pool, and the star union pool. For more information about each pool, check out this page! For now, navigate to the Jelly Pool to use your coupon. In this pool, you can get characters, pets, weapons, and materials! I hope you got something you like :) After your 10 pull with the coupon, you should have 200 Jelly left, which is enough for one more pull from the Jelly Pool. However, Single pulls are not recommended, as doing 10 pulls gives you a fairly significant discount on the price! It's tempting, but its always better to save for the 10 pull!

### **Mailbox**

After you pull from the gacha, you'll probably notice the red mailbox jumping around in the background. That's Brobox! Go say hi :) When you interact with him you can see all your mail! This includes level clearance rewards, special character/pet letters, and more! Go ahead and claim everything from the common wave tab. You'll probably have 120 Jelly, a 10 Weapon Pack, and... a weird cat. Briquet is a pet! You can upgrade them and add them to your team! You will also have a few things in the Special Wave tab. Go ahead and read those! Characters and pets will send you letters when you upgrade or meet them! You may also get some mysterious letters when you have a certain number of victories or losses.

### **Palm Pilot**

You have also unlocked the Palm Pilot! This serves as a quick access menu for everything in the game. No more walking to the game console, this is the future. The Palm Pilot also comes with a few new menus-- Skin, Friends, Bag, and the Briquet Game Console. Most of the other features are locked right now, though. Check out the Bag menu. You'll see all the materials you currently own! In the Special tab, you can see your Revive Coins and your 10 Weapon Pack. Eventually, you'll have more useful stuff in this tab, like coupons!

### **Rise and Grind**

You know the drill, by now! Go ahead and beat 1-5 and 1-6 at your own discretion! Level up units as necessary! When you challenge 1-6, you can use the Assist Function! This allows you to add other player's characters to your team for additional support. There's no drawback to using an assist, so use it as often as you want! After beating 1-6, you'll get Mangues for free, along with her weapon, Puly, and a Sugar Cube! You'll also unlock the shop after this.

### **Boss Briquet Shop**

There's a lot of tabs in the shop! Lets go through them. The Daily Gift changes every day. It costs 128 Gumdrops ($19.99 USD), and contains a total of 5760 Jelly, 4 random Materials, 3 Power Space Gifts, 5 random Tier 3 Sugar Cubes, and the promoted Character or Pet. The Gift tab contains a variety of packs that can be purchased using Gumdrops. Their prices range from 6 Gumdrops ($0.99 USD) to 30 Gumdrops ($4.99 USD). For a list of all available pack, check out this page! The Skin tab contains purchasable skins for specific characters, each costing 45-68 Gumdrops (~$8 USD - $9.99 USD). For a list of all available skins, check out this page! The Jelly Privilege tab contains two types of Jelly Privilege Card. They both cost 30 Gumdrops ($4.99 USD), but they have different benefits. For an in-depth look into the Jelly Privilege Cards, visit this page! The Buy Jelly tab is where you can exchange Gumdrops for Jelly. For more details, visit this page!

### **Wake Up Get Gaming**

Back at it again! Get through level 1-9 to progress. After you do this, you'll unlock Resource Stages! These stages help you get specific materials easier. For now, only the stage for Battery is unlocked, but you can always use some more battery, so go ahead and challenge it! These stages have infinite enemies and a time limit. The more enemies you defeat, the more materials you can get! However, as you defeat enemies, they slowly get stronger. The Battery and Star stages also give you Maple Leaves, which can be useful later on.

### **Boss Time**

The tenth stage in every star is a Boss. In these stages, you fight one strong enemy with a few weaker enemies in your way. This boss isn't so bad, but later on they can be really tough, so be careful! After you beat it, you unlock the Task Board and Achievements! You'll also get a special letter from Brobox congratulating you for completing Fruitland :) Additionally, you'll unlock the Daily Mission Board! Completing 7 missions each day gives you a total of 10000 Battery, 10000 Stars, 210 Jelly, 100 Briquet Coins, 1 Attribute Capsule, and 1 Weekly Coupon. Weekly Coupons are used in the Star Union Pool on the specified day. They give you something nice to look forward to each week~

## **Keep On Keepin' On**

### **A Whole New World**

After beating the boss, you'll be able to move onto Frozenland! Beating 2-1 unlocks Plot mode, which is a visual-novel type story that gives you Jelly for completing all the branches! Check it out whenever you have time. Beating 2-1 also gives you an S Ticket, which can be used later, along with 2 Common Fantasy Boxes, which let you choose an exclusive star up material for a character, pet, or weapon! It's recommended to save these until you have a character, pet, or weapon you want to elevate to 6 stars. Beat 2-5 to unlock sugar cubes!

### **Sugar Cubes**

In the team composition menu, you can equip sugar cubes to characters, pets, and weapons. Equip them by dragging the cube you want into an empty slot on the grid. You won't have a lot of grids to start out with, but you will be able to unlock more later! Just remember, Sugar cube slots are locked to the unit, not the team slot! So if you want to unlock more sugar cube slots, make sure its a unit you'll use! There are four tiers of sugar cube. The higher the tier, the more space it will take up in the grid, but the stronger its effects will be! For more information about sugar cubes, check out Guide: Sugar Cubes! Go ahead and challenge 2-6 to unlock the Sugar Cube Pool!

### **Sugar Cube Pool**

The sugar cube pool is a facility on your ship that will produce a random Tier 1 sugar cube every 2 hours, but it will stop producing them when there are 5 unclaimed cubes in it. This limit can be increased to 10 with any Jelly Privilege card. Make sure to claim them as soon as possible! Continue on towards 2-10.

### **Another One**

2-10 is another boss stage. It'll be a bit more difficult than the first one, but if you've been levelling up your units it should be a breeze! This boss's level is 35. Beat it to unlock Nightmare mode!

### **Nightmare Mode**

At any time, you can turn on Nightmare Mode by pushing the Cat Claws Button at the bottom of the planet and level interface. This allows you to replay every level at a slightly harder difficulty, meaning slightly better rewards! Everything about a level is the same in Nightmare Mode, except for the enemies' levels, which are increased. The amount of normal drops are doubled in Nightmare Mode, so it's better to farm materials using it! However, also keep in mind that Nightmare Mode uses more fuel, too. Turn off Nightmare Mode by tapping the Cat Paws button to the right of the Cat Claws button.

### **Thanks, Next**

To progress to the next planet, you will have to beat one more stage in Frozenland. This can be any stage you want! It can also be in either Nightmare Mode or Normal mode, so go ahead and complete one more stage in Frozenland to move onto Kittenland. Then you can power through to 3-3 to unlock the Black Hole!

### **Black Hole**

The Black Hole is a feature that should only be used late-game. It allows you to throw away units in exchange for exclusive materials, common fragments, and briquet coins. However, it is not recommended that new players use this feature! Please check out the Guide: Black Hole for more information. Beat 3-5 to unlock the Sugar Machine!

### **Sugar Machine**

This is a facility that allows you to merge sugar cubes together to create a sugar cube of a higher tier! Select a tier 1 cube and enhance it with stars or battery. It's recommended to use stars instead of battery! Then, select 2 more tier 1 sugar cubes, or 1 tier 2 sugar cube, to enhance that cube to tier 2! For a more in depth guide, take a look at Guide: Sugar Cubes. Beat 3-8 to unlock the Blood Typer!

### **Blood Typer**

In this facility, you can change or enhance the purity of a unit's Blood Type! Blood Types give certain bonuses depending on the unit and purity level. For a detailed chart, visit the Blood Types page! To use the blood typer, select the unit you want to alter. To randomly change the unit's blood type, merge it with a unit of a different type. To increase the purity level, merge it with a unit of the same type. Upon unlocking the blood typer, you will receive an Omni-Potent Plasma (10%). This will raise any unit's blood type purity by 10%! The tutorial will want you to use it, but you don't have to right now! It's probably best to save it for later :) Just hit the back button after it asks you if you want to mix it with someone! For a detailed guide on blood types, visit Guide: Blood Types! Beat 3-9 to unlock the Mysterious Zone!

### **Mysterious Zone**

The Mysterious Zone consists of three Special Stages that give an assortment of valuable items! Right now, you only have one S Ticket, so you can only use it once. You can get more tickets late game, though! You can either use your ticket now, or save it for when you have a stronger team! The latter is recommended, because these stages function similarly to Resource Stages, and the more enemies you can beat the better! Beat 3-10 to unlock the Farm!

### **Farm**

The farm is a way to boost your team's stats slightly! It doesn't have much use right now, but later on it's really beneficial! For now, just grow and plant as many things as you can :) You can also decorate a room! This doesn't provide any in-game bonuses, but it's a fun side-feature. For a more detailed guide, visit Guide: Farm.

## **End of the Beginning**

### **Now what?**

That concludes the Walkthrough for starting out! At this point, you have unlocked most of the main features Star Healer has to offer. That doesn't mean the game is over, though! There are still a bunch of planets to explore and friends to meet! Continue exploring the Galaxy!
