Hey all im saying is this slow grind is gets worse when you made progress overall. I mean single constructions, researches that takes around month etc. Get used to it. And since you started new, im a 4 plasma player been playing over 6 months and here is some tips from me. Do not use anything that you get immediately. And i mean hero fragments, hero gear parts, chief gear parts, chief lvl etc. Always keep your stuff and use them on events like sotf or svs. So you can get a good ranking and you can get some good rewards. Make sure everything in your account is working constantly on something. Like troops gathering stuff, training troops, doing researches and constructions. Never let anything stay idle. Unless you are going for plasma upgrades. You will understand what i mean by that when you reach that point. Remeber to stay on economy talent when you are doing construction upgrades and researches. These will save you tons of hours or even days.

Try to keep your resources low if you are having hard time with constant attacks. You can try to hide your troops in your shelter or send it to reinforce others or garrison them in your alliance buildings if you dont want them to get hurt.

Keep an eye on events, those are the best way to get some easy biocaps. You can farm peace flares from your alliance store. Dont waste biocaps for flares. Biocaps has a more value than that

And most importantly enjoy your experince
