Welcome to the game. Its a pretty nice casual game for me since no stamina restriction and I could play anytime I like or free. As you can check out from the game menu, its a pretty straight forward and easy to understand. As for draw result, I saw some posted before 11x draw without a single 5*. Anyway after clearing 1st chapter in normal mode, you could get 10k gem reward from it. I did my 33x draw after clearing chapter 1, while having around 18k+ gem that time.

The game currently just opened up till chapter 5, where I just completed all 5 normal, and cleared 3 hard (complete is fully complete all requirements, clear just beaten but not fulfill all requirements yet). As you should know each 4* and 5* gear will have synced bonus if equip on the particular synced char. Combining same gear also will increase gear max level cap, and cp as well. Gear max lvl cap can be increase by max 3 times, each time boost additional 5 more level. CP is use to equip passives for char, where every char will obtain 1 passive for every 5 level up, same as awakening for char. At level 20 awakening you could obtain 2nd skill for your char. Awakening will consume crystal which you could get from normal drop, or daily event dungeon (can complete 10 times a day only)

Think of bravery as a layer of shield and your hp damage on target. 1st attack is bravery attack, which when you use, it will decrease enemy existing bravery point and increase your bravery point (BP). When either your char or enemy bp reduce till 0, it will break after being attack by bp attack again. 2nd command is hp attack, which the damage is based on your accumulated bp, and do direct hp damage to the enemy. If your char could kill the target, your hp attack button will flash in purplish color.

So bp attack is for reducing enemy damage and pumping your hp attack damage. When you see high figure number on mobs, faster break it down else it might instant ko your char in 1 hit. And there are summons too. If not mistaken daily will only unlocked once you complete chapter 1, you will notice a dark hole alike portal in the main map, which you could refer to my screenshot on the top post

If you can understand cantonese, you could try the video below. This game is consider pretty easy to pick up after a few rounds of battle.

I lazy to reroll and dont see much point of it since squall not actually that strong to begin with, and his twin lance only boost solid barrel bp damage, that all. The only advantage Squall posses now is due to his exclusive armor which boost a much higher cp cap. Reroll only for 1st draw Vivi oak staff, 1st 11x or 22x for useful ones such like Cloud organics, Vaan platinum sword, Zidane zolin shape, Penelo orichalcum or Yshtola tyrus. These are the few which I think is pretty useful on various situation. And with current free gems, without the need of completing chapter 1, I think one should already had enough gems for 22x draw at start.

As for exp dungeon, everyone will have a different slot session, based on the last digit of your game id. But basically its all fall into 3 categories, either 11, 11:30 or 12pm for day time and 7, 7:30 or 8pm for late evening. If your day time session start at 11, then evening one with be 7, if is 11:30 then will follow with 7:30. And the session will change each day, today your session is 11am, the next day it might be 11:30 or 12pm

Normal dont have much requirements so auto is ok. Just that its pointless to reroll for Squall twin lance only, as its not that powerful to worth for reroll.

That why I said before 1st single must get Vivi, since I thinks its the best as compare to warrior of light and Rem. Vivi is one of the strongest magic user for now, and the only fire element magic if not mistaken. With its self buff ability, fire skill bp damage can go even higher. Where as Vaan has more multiple element access, ice, wind, light and non elemental + self buff and debuff

Terra is not that good when compare to both Vivi and Vaan, as both her skill is self buff attack and change hp attack to other abilities + 1 round wasted. 1st skill meltdown provide self attack buff for 3 round and change normal hp attack to meltdown+, just another type of hp attack + defense debuff. 2nd skill meteor casting also buff her attack but this time change hp attack to meteor, 10 hit non elemental magic bp attack + hp attack.

But as for now since majority only will have access to few sets of 5* weapons, so just train up those with their exclusive weapon 1st lor. Below are my current trained chars, the rest are all below 30. Some still at lvl1 even with 5* weapon, such like Bartz

Finally fully completed Squall lion heart event requirements and missions

Pretty good to start already

Through login you could already get couples of those booster tomes, and I think 100 gems is pretty much worth it. You just need to pump a team of major (3-4 chars) to over level 40 for stage objectives and mission. If you want to skip out on that you could use the auto leveling trick on chapter 2 hard stage, which I could easily level up a level 15 char to 40 in 2 to 3 days, few hours at night while I watched my series. I personally just bought 2 or 3 exp tome so far

You can always combine them for more attack, but upgrading the giant sword is another thing  Level 35 max, just think of the upgrading mats required I also feel lazy to proceed. For your info, once you max combine and upgrade any 4* or 5*, the star rarity of the item will increase by 1, the synced skill on the gear will become equip-able passive, which cost 20 cp. From what I heard once the synced skill become equip able passive, it will be remove from the weapon, so you can only choose to equip it through passive even though having the exclusive gear equip to the correct char (which I had no idea since never had any max combine gear so far)

Its pretty pointless to keep redraw non stop since you will always be stuck there, and no matter how good you gotten now, future gear will always be better, its just a never ending story only. As long you had a few good ones to begin with its good enough to start off and proceed with the game. Level up your char, pump their awakening level is more important. Exclusive synced gear will only give you some extra bonus, which is good to have but not godly. As long you had a 5* for most major type of weapon then char can just share and switch among themselves. Synced bonus (相性）max out for level 20 5* gear I think is around maybe 130 - 140 attack extra. You could see my Squall still attack pretty ok with Cloud organics equipped in the video

That what I currently had now without performing any reroll.

Dissidia point definitely must go exchange for crystal dungeon keys, with the keys you can enable any crystal dungeon you like for an hour, which must be use together with item drop 2x booster. An hour farm with item booster can net you 200+ small and medium crystal. Large crystal can only be obtain at lvl50 stage. I usually choose to farm at level 30 difficulty for faster completion

Item exchange for D points will be reset every monday, which you could exchange for 3 keys a week. Max point you could store up for now is 1k D points. As for obtaining points players can earn 100 points daily. But for us only 70 points since the last 30 points need you to linked to an arcade DFF machine nearby, so 490 points a week for us.

Char minimum awakening must at least reach 20 to release their 2nd active skill. Anything above is just for stats and some passives, which not all passives are actually useful to be honest.

Congrats. Its pretty easy since you had even more synced gear, should already cleared it long before now lor. Already clear it within an hour after launched and fully complete the next or next 2 days with some level pumping. As long bring the correct char and know how boss act, it wont give any trouble at all.

Will need to see what category Setzer card fall into. If is throwing weapon, might invest bit since still lacking a 5* throwing weapon to share among those char like shadow, yuffie.

Now just focus on gathering mats for upgrading ifrit

Well I dont see any vpn is required as it runs normally on my phone without any vpn after I tested it. And in game gem purchase price are also shown in RM
