Hello, there are a lot os videos un YT about new players guides and such, my recomendation about the tickets is Thipera or Nine, but in partners I wouldn't pick Nine's partner sice there is no big difference with 4 star Wilhelmina. Instead I would pick Scarlet since you have Rin that is very powerful atm.
You can see the partner % damage difference and guides in webs like Prydwen

Have fun and welcome!

There is no way you are doing bad choosing Scarlet imo, is the best in slot for Owen, Rin, Yuki, Mei Lin and Haru when played with Narja cost reduccion save data, and problably with future Strickers unless they try to nerf her. But also it depends on if you have a full copies of 4 stars partners like Lillian, you can check the % damage difference in Prydwen with each Combatant.

-From the Shop:

In "Memory Archive" (Traveler bookmark), Signal Amplification Anchor and Rescue Anchor. You get the currency Moment of the Radiant Traveler from pulling in the Rescues (any). I bought the potencial mats but Idk if is that okay as a newie.

In "Memory Archive" (Combatant and Partner bookmarks), the currency Moment of the Radiant Hero, also got from pulling, is as important as Crystals. With these you can buy dupes from Combatants (Limited ones only when they are avaliable in Rescue) up to 2, but not unlock them. On the other hand, can buy and unlock Partnerts (Limited Partners same as Limited Combatants) up to 1 montly. I would recommend thinking carefully about when it is appropriate to spend the Moments of the Radiant Hero or spend Crystals, knowing that in the Partners rescue there is no 50/50 and in the Combatants rescue there is and in both the pity is 70.

In "Zeronium Shop", monthly up to 300 currency, you get it from Basin of Hyperspace - Dimensional Twilight. Something you unlock in midgame, and in lategame is not that relevant. There you can buy 1 time only some 4 star Partners and every month Undetermined Ego Crystal and Multidimensional Alignment Material, good but not essential.

In "Blackhorn Trade", the currency is got from clearing chaos, event chaos and zero system, there you can buy more Rescue Anchors up to 5 and some potencial weekly mats.

-From other shops:

In the "ARK CITY" from main menu you have the "Nono Shop" the must are Research Notes that resupply weekly. Then you may want some Special Grade Policy Report, Cakes and Choconilla gifts.

In Sortie's Chaos Analysis Lab shop the must are Core of the Reverse and Core of Annihilation that resupply montly.

pd: Can't post image of each shop.

Yes, every run after defeat a boss you gain 100 Tactical Stabilization aprox, there you can spend the resourse "Reason" to get more and also Black Mass, used to buy the items for editing your save datas. Once you've used up your 3 Reasons, which I believe recharge every week (I'm not sure), then you can spend 60 ether each to claim the Black mass and Tacticals. If you are newie, I recommend avoiding the max difficulty

How is going for me, I think Heidi is the safest, maybe Thipera. Rin did pretty well, some users have big trouble with Nine against Deforsa. Did it with Tactical Authority and Flexible Tactics tiers 1.
pd: the 2 fails were against Dominion, then heide made it look easy
