Beginner Tips

## Tips for Beginners

### Know Before you Play

This is not a fast game. It will require a lot of grinding and patience. The game is a lot of RNG luck, from the heroes you get, to the gear.

If you get stuck in the game, really the best advice will be to level up your team, star them up, and enhance your gear.

Eventually you will need to start leveling heroes/pets just to dismiss for hero coins. Check out the Upgrade section below for more details.

### Gems

Gems will be rewarded through out your game play. They are also the "rare" currency of the game. You can get gems once a day from Daily Reset.

The best use of your gems in the beginning is to refresh the Tavern to get new and potentially rare heroes. Heroes

### Item Shop

It is recommended you do not buy 1 ~3 star hero/pet coins with gems, buying with gold, if you can, is recommended. If you see a 4 or 5 star coin for gold or gems, it is worth getting. Upgrading Heroes/Pets

Do not buy Mutated Tree Bark or Girardinia, they are not needed to end game and you can get them other ways later.

You are able to buy gear in the shop, but there is so much gear in the game you will see that it might be better to hold off. Besides, you will want to upgrade your gear, and with the item shop, you will not be able to get them quickly.

### Amulets

Please go read the section on Amulets. Amulet

### Heroes / Team

Heroes are recruited from the Tavern. << Check out the link for that info.

The odds of getting a rare hero are low, you can read more about that in the section about Heroes / Pets. Heroes

You will start out with common heroes, most likely.

You will only be able to add 3 heroes to your team, the fourth slot is for a pet. You will never get more than 3-heroes in your team.

You will want a tank, your options will be Paladin or Warrior. The DPS you can have are Archer, Mage, and/or Rogue. The healers are Priest or Shaman. Please take a look at the Heroes page to read more about each hero.

You will want to place your tank hero in front of the DPS / Healers. Mr. Slime is a good pet for leveling, but most people will use the Turtle pet as a tank pet.

There are many options to making your party. I would highly suggest getting one of each of the common pets / heroes and trying them all out and see what you like. There is no really "right" party set up. So you will want the following:

Tank [ Warrior or Paladin ]

DPS [ Archer, Mage, Rogue ]

Healer or DPS [ Whichever you prefer. Some people like having a healer, others like just more DMG ]

Pet [ Turtle is used mostly for progression ]

As far as how to spend your attribute points, please check out the following: Stats

### Arrangement of Team

The order in which you place your team members will determine their order when the game is played on auto-combat.

If the game is played on auto-combat, the heroes will attack based on the order above. Pets will ALWAYS go last and can not be controlled. So in the above example, the Warrior [6] will attack first, followed by Shaman [7] and Archer [9]. Again, the pet, Turtle, will auto-attack at the end of the heroes action.

You will also want to position the squishier players behind your tank characters.

There are also a few different arrangements that are typically done. The one shown above is a good one to start with, you will see others as you play, and you can adapt it how you see fit.
