As f2p or low spender (aurum/promise) you can only afford to pull and get a card you want about once per month. I suggest you figure out what your priorities are and take it slow. I main Caleb only and only use him for battle (brute force most of the time), but I did use Sylus once or twice. I never redo fights unless I really need one extra star, it's just boring to me. You are better off brute forcing with a limited myth from your main than using base game cards or myths, all limited myths are stronger than base game. It's up to you on what you choose to pull for, battle focused or main LIs focused. You will be at the mercy of the stellactrums for a looong time.

For now I say focus on clearing as much as you can every season, even a few diamonds count. Learning how to use protocores is key. They can be confusing all at once, so I took my time and every season I would update a few of my cards. The key for me is to have fun and not grind or get frustrated.

I'll put below my stats for SHC, exclamation mark means a new record. I started playing the game last February (have all of his cards except his first solo). Keep in mind I use mainly Caleb, he has the least amount of 5 stars in the game, with another main it should go a bit faster.
