Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to help new players understand the mechanics of the game and ease them into the early game progression. Destiny Child themselves have a very basic guide which can be viewed here: https://moot.us/lounges/73/boards/403
As such, I will not be covering what they have. I will be constantly updating the guide when new features are released.

Recommended Childs when Rerolling
| Name: Maat Type: Maat shines due to her drive skill, reviving one ally and healing 3 allies with the lowest hp. She also has a cleanse on tap and heal to all allies on slide. She is a must have for most raid teams and is a huge boon for underground making sure that your main team stays alive throughout. She can also be good for manual PvP, with her revive allowing for some clutch plays. | |
| Name: Chang’e Type: Chang’e is currently the best support unit, with cooldown reduction as well as charge gauge boost on slide and the game breaking instant charge on tap, she is a must have for almost all teams regardless of objective. |
Additionally a tier list exists here in case you want to check if your “Waifu”/”Husbando” is good:
Starting Out
To-Dos
As a new player, there are several goals to work towards to.
1. Devil Fiesta
Devil Fiesta gives a lot of rewards and a 5* Child ticket at the end of completion. All missions can be completed beforehand, which means it is actually possible to complete them all day 1; rewards cannot be claimed until the respective day has been reached. Below is everything needed to complete Devil Fiesta:
1. Reach Candidate Lv. 25
2. Clear up to Normal 3-2-4 in Story Mode
3. Play through all event dungeons 12 times
4. Explore the 1st area of exploration mode for 1 hour 5 times
5. Challenge Underground a total of 4 times
6. PvP 18 times
7. Use friend gacha 7 times
8. Enhance Equipment 35 times
9. Awaken 1 Child to S class
10. Max level 5 3* Childs
11. Level a 4* Child to 40
12. Uncap 2 Childs
13. Skill level up 35 times
2. Tutorial Quests
Tutorial Quests can be found in the My Room section and going through them will net you a free 5* Child ticket. These can be completed within the first 10 minutes.
3. Story Mode
Clearing Story Mode on normal should be the priority. Story mode gives a lot of crystals and free childs that will help in building a proper team. Currently, you can only clear up to Hard 3-8.
4. Dailies
Liza’s daily tasks are rather simple to do and can be completed within half an hour. Prioritise it as it is the only way to earn Blood Gems for f2p players other than events.
5. Testing your limits
At the end of each day its good to test how far into the Event Dungeons and Underground you can go. Work at each stage one by one so that you are accustomed to their strengths. The recommended power levels don’t reflect the actual power you need for that stage. Depending on the team composition, you can have a rating of more than 20k power lower than the recommended and still be able to clear. If you’re having trouble clearing with full auto, then playing manual is a good way to bruteforce the dungeon until your team is stronger.
Early Game Team Composition
The main objective of an early game team is to be able to clear all of the story mode content.
Teams for story content are mainly composed of: 2, 1, 1 and 1(Speed buffer). As new players can easily get a free copy of Dana and Mafdet when starting out. At this stage you should be running both of them along with the 5*s you have. 4 stars can be used as placeholders until you get more 5 stars. Do note that certain 4*s do stand out from the pack and in some situations are better than niche 5*s. Below are some 4*s to watch for.
| Name: Elysion Type:The strongest 4* attacker due to her poison damage. | |
| Name: Leda Type:Categorised as a support but really shes a healer. She is the best healer out of all the 4*s at higher uncaps and when paired with another healer guarantees survival. | |
| Name: Melpomene Type:A budget Pantheon, allows for your attackers to do some insane damage with crit rate and crit atk up. | |
| Name: Quirinus Type:Budget speed buffer. | |
| Name: Mayahuel Type:Budget speed buffer with confuse on drive. |
For a list of the 3* and 4* worth investing in, check the #faq-section section in the DC International discord.
Currencies and what they should be used for
Gold should primarily be used for upgrading and uncapping of units, equipment, and soul carta. Spare gold can be used for gold summons. Not only is gold summon a great source of onyx, it’s also gives a chance 5* child. However, be aware that upgrading soul carta and uncapping childs take a lot of gold. Don’t use gold summons until you have a buffer of at least 3 mil.
Onyx has two uses: Awakening and skill leveling. Prioritise Awakening first for increased base stats.
Crystals be used for buying stamina, resetting dungeon/raid/pvp/underground/PvP attempt counts, summoning as well as resetting raid shop. Priorities are as follows: Summoning childs>Summoning Soul Carta>Buying PvP tickets(when you can get a higher rank)>Buying Ragna tickets>Resetting daily dungeon attempt counts>Buying stamina.

Blood Gems is the rarest currency in the game, used for buying items in the Scarlet Market and for summoning from Blood Gem Banners, House of Reincarnation, as well as costumes in the costume shop. The main thing to buy from Scarlet Market is the element specific 5* Child ticket. Water ticket has the best pool, followed by light. It’s not recommended to buy the enhancement orbs, evolution material childs, or the max exp enhancement childs.
Rumble Coins should only be used on buying Evolution materials or 5* A rank equipment, as well as rare 5 star child ticket, 5 star soul carta ticket, or 5 star rank A equipment tickets that only cost 777 Rumble Coins each.
Friend Points; no explanation here, they only have one use:.
Tips
Prioritise events over everything else as events sometimes give limited equipment/childs and overall are just very rewarding.
Exploration can be used as a crystal mine and is much better than putting a 5 or 4* unit in there to level. When a child reaches max level it will give you x crystals, x being the child’s max level.
Take 25 2* units and dump them in for 19 hours (12+6+1) for 20 crystals per each max level 2*, which comes out to roughly 500 crystals per day and 15,000 per month assuming you do not miss a day. (No Limit)
Undergrounds recommended power is overstated. Normal Underground can be attempted starting from 20k power and Hard underground can be completed starting from 40k power. Of course this is also dependant on your line-up. In case any of your units die in battle just escape from the battle and try again, and the status of all units will be reset to right before the battle.
For a quicker ease of leveling refer to the below spreadsheet for the most exp efficient areas. Generally you want to auto at the highest area your team can reliably clear. The node inside the stage does not affect the effect the exp you receive(i.e. Boss node gives the same exp as the first node). Make sure to take advantage of the 2 days of Hot Time every week from Friday 5 PM PST to Sunday 5 PM PST.

Friends are very important. Make as many active friends as possible for increase in friend points gain as well as raid clears.
Try to not go over stamina cap as the amount of recovered stamina loss can be huge.
Equipment that gives increases to 2 stats are always better than those that boost 1 stat. Refer to the pins for the stats of each equipment.
The order for highest stat gain to lowest goes as follows:
Evolution > Levels > Awakening > Uncap
Mid to late game progression
At this point in time your main team should be at least 40k power and you should have cleared story mode up to 7-8-4 on Normal.
Mid game progression is all about building up your Ragna Raid teams, equipment, and Soul Carta.
Equipment Farming
Equipment farming is generally very simple. Do your hard underground daily for your 5* B rank equipment to upgrade. If you get lucky and get a good A rank 5*, then congratulations. Don’t invest in rank C 5*. Use them as fodder to get your As and Bs to +15. The only other way to get 5* A rank equipment is from events and tickets as well as raid drops and raid shop. Do not use gold summon to farm equipment as the rates for an A rank 5* are abysmal.
Beginner’s Guide to Ragna:Break (Raids)
Late game progression
Late game involves a similar goal for all game modes: Maxing out your team and preparing for future content. This involves upgrading each child to 6 stars and leveling them to 60, leveling 4 and 5 star Soul Carta to their maximum respective levels, and having enough sets of maxed equipment for your PvP, Rebirth Labyrinth, Ragna Break, and World Boss teams.
For PvE:
Clear all story content, including hard mode, with 3 star rating.
Be able to clear Level 4 Rebirth Labyrinth 3 star difficulty consistently on full auto.
Prepare for Ragna Break Bosses of each element.
Prepare for World Bosses of each element.
For PvP:
Have a strong enough team that you can use to maintain Platinum 5 each week, and be able to push to top 100 if time allows for it.
For all late game players, saving crystals for important childs is a must. Don’t pull on any banners that only have the original 35 in the pool, and think carefully before pulling for childs that will only be relevant for certain Ragna Break elements.
