[V1.5 Phase 1] New & Returning Player Progression Guide PART1/2
Chapter 1 - Recommended Characters
On your third day of logging in, the event check-in lets you choose one of three characters: Rhythm, Phantasio, or Rebecca.
I recommend Phantasio.
During early-game progression, your top priority is raising your Trial Rank. The main way to earn Trial EXP is by collecting and building any characters and weapons.
Phantasio is a high-damage Umbro DPS character. His Covert Commission only becomes available at Trial Rank 60, so you cannot farm him early on.
The main reason to choose Phantasio is that this season's Immersive Theatre includes an Umbro-favoured stage in [Featured Repertoire], where he is needed to clear the challenge.
Chapter 2 - The Secret Letter Shop Character & Weapon Purchases
The Secret Letter Shop is an important early-game source of characters and weapons. Some Secret Letters only become available for purchase after you reach the required Trial Rank.
Here are some powerful characters and weapons worth prioritizing:
[Fina] is an exceptionally strong damage support. I recommend farming her to Intron Lv. 2.
Pairing her with her signature weapon, [Dreamweaver's Feather], further increases the entire team's ATK.
[Fushu]'s Summon can restore Sanity for the entire team. I recommend farming her to Intron Lv. 2.
[Destructo] and [Entropic Singularity] can greatly reduce a boss's stance, making them essential weapons for Immersive Theatre.
[Psyche] is the strongest Anemo DPS character and is ideal for clearing [Immersive Theatre - Immortal Repertoire] in Version 1.5. I recommend farming her all the way to Intron Lv. 6.
[Elpides Abound] and [Rendhusk] can both significantly increase Psyche's damage.
[Rhythm] has excellent Skill Range and mob-clearing efficiency, making her the highest-priority character to farm for early-game AFK farming. Intron Lv. 2 is mandatory, while Intron Lv. 6 is recommended.
[Lady Nifle] is a strong all-round DPS character for early-game progression and performs especially well in Mystic Maze. I recommend farming her to Intron Lv. 6.
[Siren's Kiss] increases Skill Range, while equipping the Move Demon Wedge [Piercing Ascent] enables highly efficient traversal.
[Embla Inflorescence] increases both Skill Range and the Skill DMG of Lumino characters. Its Charged Shot mode fires homing arrows that continuously pursue enemies, allowing it to trigger [Lady Nifle]'s Intron Lv. 6 multiple times.
Chapter 3 - Nocturnal Echoes' Character & Weapon
Nocturnal Echoes is a weekly mode where you can obtain Secret Letters for powerful characters and weapons that have not yet been added to the Secret Letter Shop.
[Flora] is widely regarded as the strongest Umbro DPS character in the current version and also has the highest damage ceiling. Her Introns provide major upgrades, making her the top character to prioritize in Nocturnal Echoes.
[Chainbreak Pinion] is Flora's signature weapon and greatly increases her damage.
[Yuming] is a powerful Electro DPS and support character. Even at Intron Lv. 0, she can be paired with Rhythm to greatly improve AFK farming efficiency.
[Venial Sinscales] is Yuming's signature weapon and increases the Skill DMG of all Electro characters on the team.
