Reroll: 40 free pulls after the prologue
After the prologue, you get roughly 40 free pulls. Use them to aim for an S-Rank character who will carry you all early game. Top picks: Nanally (S-Tier DPS), Sakiri (S-Tier support) or Zero (versatile DPS).
If you are not happy with your reroll, delete the account and start over: it takes 20 minutes.
Combat mechanics to master
- Parry: press at the right time to block an attack and reduce damage. Parry frames are short, train against basic enemies.
- Dodge: quick roll to fully avoid a hit. Prefer it against charged attacks that cannot be parried.
- Cycle Rate: fill this gauge by attacking to trigger the Esper Cycle, the signature mechanic of the game.
- Esper Cycle: switch between your characters to chain special skills and maximize damage.
- Break Meter: the white bar of enemies. Once broken, the enemy is stunned and takes massive damage. Daffodil excels in this role.
- Awakening: character upgrade system. Invest in your main DPS first.
Team: just one, not several
Resources are scarce at the start. Focus everything on a single team of 3 characters. Over-leveling one team beats two weak teams. Same goes for ARCs: equip your best sets on the main DPS.
Recommended beginner composition:
- 1 main DPS: Nanally, Zero, Daffodil or Chiz
- 1 Support / Buff: Sakiri, Haniel
- 1 Tank / Survival: Adler, Fadia or Edgar
Story first
Run the Main Episodes and Spin-offs before side quests. They unlock the Hunters' Guides, essential leveling resources, plus the side modes (Anomaly Hunt, City Tycoon).
Hunter Level and Appraisal Level
These two gauges unlock content: max character level, access to Anomaly Pilgrimage, S-Rank ARCs, etc. Level them regularly by completing daily missions.
Exploration: open the fast-travel
ReroRero Cabines and Wertheimer Towers are your teleport points. Always activate them while exploring: it saves hours over the long run. Our Hethereau interactive map lists every point of interest with category search.
City Tycoon: turn it on early
This parallel mode (urban real estate management) generates passive rewards continuously. Activate it as soon as it unlocks and collect daily: it is free and compounds over time.
Codes: redeem now
Promo codes grant Annulith (pull currency), materials and sometimes free pulls. Our up-to-date list of active codes is in the guide tips section.
Mistakes to avoid
- Spreading resources across multiple teams: no, focus a single team.
- Neglecting exploration: chests and teleport points save game time.
- Ignoring the Witch's House: Divination grants valuable bonuses.
- Stalling on Hunter and Appraisal Level: do the dailies, they are quick.
- Diving into the main quest without a solid team: you will stall on the first tough boss.
