Phase 1: First 30 Minutes (Account Setup)
Your first goal is to accumulate 30 minutes of active playtime. This is required before any codes will work. Don't idle — the timer tracks active engagement only.
Push through the first 5 stages to satisfy the second code prerequisite. Use any units you pull from your free initial summons.
Use your starting currency to perform 10 summons through the recruitment banner. This is the third and final prerequisite for code redemption.
Once prerequisites are met, open the Codes interface on your HUD. Redeem in this priority order: Kashimo (5K Coins) → InfectedBox (2K Gems) → CullingGame (2K Culling Points) → all remaining codes. See the full codes list.
Phase 2: Early Game (Hours 1–5)
Target Units
Use your code-boosted Coins and Gems to recruit. Target Megumi (mathematically optimal starter) or Finger Bearer (strong alternative). Both carry you through Story and early Challenge Modes. Check the Tier List.
Clear Story Mode
Push through Story Mode to unlock Challenge Mode access. This is your gateway to farming shards for Ascended Evolutions. Don't linger — Story yields diminishing returns.
Phase 3: Mid Game (Days 1–7)
Transition Your Mindset
Stop thinking about individual unit damage. Start thinking about team composition, shard economy, and placement geometry. The mid-game demands:
- Pursuing S-Tier (Awaken Yuji) or High A-Tier (Hanami, True Mahito) units
- Heavy farming of Challenge Modes for 20–30 Mythic Shards
- Learning Hell Mode Stage 15 patterns for efficient material farming
- Joining the Discord for cooperative raid matchmaking
Phase 4: Endgame
The Endgame Formula: Ascend your best Mythic units at the Evolution Stand → Farm Casino Raids for Course Crystals → Roll for Honored One Binding Vow → Activate Domain Expansions in Endless Mode → Climb the leaderboard.
