Understand the different game modes and plan your daily playtime efficiently

Main Story

Core content that pushes the game forward. Follow the legendary compass to uncover the secrets of the floating continents. Chapter 1 is fully available with over 70 battle stages. Completing the main story unlocks new companions, areas, and features.

Daily Quests

Six companion-exclusive story quests refresh daily. Completing them yields generous amounts of EXP, gold, and upgrade materials. Prioritize these as they are one of the main sources of daily resources.

Dungeon

Randomly generated dungeon instances where monster distribution and treasure locations vary each run. High risk, high reward -- an important source of rare equipment and materials. Group up to challenge higher difficulties.

Raid

Cooperative mode where you team up with other players to challenge high-difficulty bosses. Requires proper team composition and coordination. Raid-exclusive gear drops far surpass regular equipment.

Arena

Time-limited special event stages, often tied to new character releases or holiday themes. Completing events grants limited companions, skins, and exclusive items. Prioritize these whenever available.

PRO TIPS

Essential Tips for Beginners

Practical advice from veteran captains to help you avoid common pitfalls

Prioritize Daily Quests

Daily quests are the most stable source of EXP and materials during the early game. Log in every day and complete them first. Finishing all 6 daily storylines provides substantial upgrade resources.

Focus on Core Characters

Resources are limited early on -- do not spread them evenly across all companions. Pick 2-3 core characters and invest heavily in them to ensure smooth main story progression. Prioritize higher-rated characters among the 10 free companions.

Master QTE Timing

QTE burst opportunities during battle are the key to victory. Tap the screen quickly when the prompt appears. Successful QTE triggers deal extra damage or special effects -- especially critical in boss fights.

Understand Elemental Counters

The game features five elements: Fire, Water, Wind, Light, and Dark, with counter relationships between them. When building your team, diversify elements to exploit enemy weaknesses. Counter-attacking deals bonus damage.

Manage Stamina Wisely

Stamina is the key resource gating your progression. Prioritize spending stamina on main story and daily quests. During events, consider purchasing stamina refills when needed.
