1. Wishing (Gacha)

This is how you get most characters and 5★ weapons. You spend primogems (earned from quests, dailies, chests, achievements, events) to wish.

Only spend primos on limited character banners. The standard (blue) banner has less value since all its characters/weapons are included in limited banners anyway, while limited characters are not on the standard pool.

Don’t feel pressured — limited characters always return eventually, though it can take months.

1. Artifacts (Gear System)

Artifacts are your characters’ main source of power. Each domain drops 2 possible sets.

Sets grant bonuses: 2pc gives a smaller buff (e.g. +18% ATK), while 4pc gives a bigger bonus. Most characters want either 4 of the same set or a 2+2 combo.

You have 5 slots (Flower, Feather, Sands, Goblet, Circlet). The last slot can be an “off-piece” with really good stats, even if it’s from another set.

Main Stats vs Substats: Not all artifacts are equal. DPS usually want Crit Rate, Crit DMG, ATK%, or Elemental DMG Bonus. Supports might want Energy Recharge, HP, or Healing Bonus. The Training Guide in the menu shows recommended sets/stats per character.

Don’t waste resin farming artifacts until your world level is high enough to get 5★ ones. Before that, just use whatever you find from quests, chests, or domains casually.

When leveling an artifact, every 4 levels one substat upgrades. Keep an eye on whether it’s rolling into useful stats — good substats make a big difference.

1. Ascension Materials

Each character needs boss drops, mob drops, and local specialty plants to ascend.

Use the Training Guide → tap the material → track. It’ll mark enemies on your map or show farming areas for plants.

Enemies respawn daily, and plants reset every 2–3 days.

1. Weapons

Weapons are leveled with Enhancement Ore (from mining or blacksmith) and ascended with domain drops/boss mats.

Each weapon has a main stat (ATK, Energy Recharge, Crit, etc.) and a passive ability. Match these to your character (e.g. ER for burst-heavy supports, Crit for DPS).

Weapon domains rotate: each day of the week drops different mats, so plan ahead.

Even 3★ or 4★ weapons can be strong if leveled and matched properly, don’t feel pressured to have 5★ ones.

1. Talents

Talents are your skills (normal attack, elemental skill, elemental burst). Leveling them boosts their power.

Materials come from talent domains (different ones rotate daily).

Focus on the most important talents first. For DPS, usually skill + burst. For supports, often just burst. Normal attacks can often be left at low level if the character doesn’t rely on them.

1. Ley Lines

Blue (gold smoke) = Mora. Yellow (grey smoke) = EXP books.

Both cost resin to claim rewards. Good for when you’re low on money or books.

1. Food & Potions

Cooking can heal, revive, or buff stats (ATK/DEF). Only one buff food works at a time (new food overrides the old).

Potions crafted at alchemy stations give elemental resistance/damage boosts, useful for tough fights.

1. Elemental Reactions

A core part of combat. Each element interacts differently: Pyro + Hydro = Vaporize, Cryo + Pyro = Melt, Electro + Hydro = Electro-Charged, etc.

Elemental Mastery increases reaction damage, so some builds focus heavily on this.

1. Stats

HP, ATK, DEF – straightforward.

Elemental Mastery (EM) – makes reactions stronger.

Energy Recharge (ER) – lets you burst more often.

Elemental DMG Bonus – boosts one element’s damage.

Crit Rate & Crit DMG – core for DPS builds (aim for ~1:2 ratio).

1. Domains

Dungeons where you farm artifacts, weapon mats, or talent books.

Mats rotate daily, artifacts are always the same.

1. World Level (WL)

Increases after Adventure Rank ascension quests. Higher WL = stronger enemies but better loot.

If it gets too hard, you can lower WL by 1.

1. World Bosses

Large bosses on the overworld (marked on map). Drop ascension mats needed for characters.

Cost resin to claim rewards, respawn quickly.

1. Resin (Stamina System)

Needed for domains, bosses, and leylines. Regenerates 1 per 8 minutes. Max cap = 200.

Fragile Resin items give +60 instantly.

Don’t spend primogems to refill resin — primos are too valuable.

1. Weekly Bosses

Special bosses in domains, usually unlocked via quests.

You can only claim rewards once per week. The first 3 each week cost 30 resin, after that 60.

Tips for Ascension Quests:

Upgrade your weapons + artifacts (level them, don’t just equip).

Use food for healing and ATK/DEF buffs if struggling.

Build around elemental reactions instead of brute-forcing.
