New to this game. Helpful things to know?

Hey, I just found this game out from a friend and started playing it.

I've been enjoying it alot but there are alot of things that I'm wondering about.

Found some answers to some questions that might help beginners.

There is limited information on the game as of now so there might not be answers to some questions (like rates on story hero summons). If I am wrong about something, feel free to correct me.

• Will I get all the story heroes? (I got up to the witch stage but I didn't get her or the archer)

• You can obtain the story heroes from combining or summoning (as far as I know). Not sure about "capturables"

• Side note to "caputurables": The unit's listed as "Collectables" after the stages seem to all have possibilities of dropping.

• What are the summons for?

• Pretty much new units. You can have a chance of obtaining story units (through special summon, not sure about normal summon) but I do not know the rates.

• How is the "stamina" recovered and why is it out of 7?

• The max stamina for now is 7 but swords can be obtained (fairly easily?) through the use of the event item tree and using arena coins to buy it.

• Whats the fastest way to get swords?

• Buy them. If you're looking for a free alternative, spam PVP for coins and buy the 30 coin for 10 sword packs. Arena ranks reset every week so its fine if you go in and lose.

• Should I be saving my gems for something or what should I be spending them on?

• Save for the 500 gem summon but other than that there isn't much to save for.

• How should I be building my team?

• How should I be leveling and evolving my characters?

• Level and evolve your story characters. Most other 3* summons or mobs should be combined to try and get a 4* story hero.

• Should I be farming for anything?

• Farm for fodder and combine 3* units them to get 4* units.

• Where is the best place to farm fodder?

• (PERSONALLY) I have the most luck on the boss/mini boss stages (x-3 / x-6). I go for Normal 6-3 and I usually get 1-2 fodder with an event crystal or rune if I'm lucky.

• If you can do it, Nightmare 5-3 also seems to have pretty good drop rates. Ideally, the farming place that is the most popular is 12-3 and Hell 5-3.

• Is it worth combining units?

• Yes, you have a chance of getting story units and most of those outshine the "normal" ones.

• Events I should be doing / looking out for?

• Will I use up a key if I fail the daily dungeon?

• Failing the daily dungeon doesn't use up the key. Feel free to try Hell/Nightmare to see how you stack up. You can also use it as a testing bed for team compositions.

• What runes should I be equipping?

• (Personal opinion) I use mostly 1-2 star runes for my units as of now because they are not 6 star . Runes will be destroyed when evolving. I think it's best to save your higher level runes for higher star units unless you have tickets to blow.

• How do I set which unit my friends can use?

• It's the leader for the first team.

• How does VIP level go up?

• It goes up only when you buy gems. (Packages with gems also increase your VIP level)

• Any other helpful things to know?

• There was a "Q&A" Session on Twitch held by their team and some answers can be found here
