1. How to choose the best heroes
The best hero for a beginner is not always the rarest hero. A good early hero is one you can upgrade consistently and use in your main squad every day.
Look for heroes that help you clear campaign stages, win daily fights, or improve your main team role. If a hero sits unused, avoid spending rare materials on that hero.
2. Best heroes for beginners
Beginners should focus on heroes that make early content easier. Strong damage heroes, reliable front-line heroes, and heroes that fit your current team are usually the most useful early choices.
- Choose your strongest available damage hero for your main squad.
- Keep one reliable front-line hero upgraded enough to protect the team.
- Use support heroes only if their skills clearly help your main lineup.
- Avoid upgrading heroes just because they look new or rare.
3. Best team building strategy
A beginner team should be simple and focused. Pick a main squad, keep those heroes ahead of your backups, and improve the team whenever a new hero gives a clear benefit.
If your resources are limited, one strong team is better than several weak teams. This helps you clear more content and collect better rewards sooner.
4. Upgrade priority
Upgrade priority should follow your main squad. Levels, skills, and gear matter most when they improve heroes you use every day.
- Level your main squad heroes first.
- Improve key skills on your strongest heroes.
- Upgrade gear for heroes that carry your main team.
- Save rare materials before investing in a hero you may replace soon.
5. Mistakes to avoid
The biggest beginner mistake is spreading hero materials too thin. A little progress on many heroes usually feels weaker than strong progress on one useful team.
- Do not upgrade every hero evenly.
- Do not ignore hero skills and gear.
- Do not replace a strong hero with a new hero that is still under-upgraded.
- Do not spend rare materials before checking your main team needs.
