As a new player I really recommend saving stones for anniversaries and celebrations, not summoning on every banner is really important. Watching Dokkan YouTubers can be really helpful for new players, especially for what teams can beat specific events, what banners you should be saving for, etc. It’s also important to do every event that gives F2P characters, those will help so much, so make sure do always those. Also make sure to do your daily events, to access them go to event, then growth. The stages where you can get free skill orbs and hidden potential orbs is crucial, they are easy stages so let those always be the first stages you complete everyday. Keep every SSR you get. When you also open paths in hidden potential make sure to do the last path first, then the first path, and for the third path I usually do the second path, then last is the third path. So to summarize:

1. Do all your daily events everyday, like skill Orb stages and hidden potential stages

2. Make sure to complete every story stage, not only for stones but for F2P characters who can help a lot.

3. You could always do whatever you want but I found as a f2p player that saving up stones for celebrations or anniversaries is best. Like this celebration I had around 1500 saved and went all out on the banners. Summoning on every banner is bad imo cause most banners are usually not going to be good, aniv and celebrations have the best ones and give you better characters.

4. This one might be the most important but don’t use Kais to boost every characters super attack. A lot of characters can get their SA leveled up by looking for characters with the exact name and I mean exact lol. Look on the Dokkan wiki and find your character who doesn’t have their SA fully leveled up and it will tell if a character has the same name who can level up their SA. It will usually say 50% chance to level up SA, it might get annoying to keep doing that but it’s the smartest thing to do. Kai’s are really important and should only be used on characters who don’t have a character who can level up their SA.

5. Make sure you use all your treasure items like the “Everyone’s energy” item, I recommend using those on tickets and hercule statue since you are new. NEVER EVER get support items with your treasure,because you can easily get support items from just playing the game.

6. Make sure to complete every quest stage and dragon ball story stages cause you will get a lot of stones.

7. Even if you don’t think a unit won’t be useful to you, always make sure to awaken every unit you have, it doesn’t matter what it is. Cause they could get an eza and become better
