Getting Started

Level 1 - 40

  • Focus on getting through the story to begin with; at various level milestones, you'll unlock more and more types of content
  • Try to rush to level 35 and clear stage 5-7 (normal) to unlock your essential dailies and weeklies
  • Put all of your eggs in one basket and focus on leveling one team only -- your Support Construct can be 10-15 levels below your Attacker and Tank
- This team will carry you through War Zone (WZ) and the higher levels of Phantom Pain Cage (PPC) until level 80

Level 40 - 80

  • If an Event is active and you're level 40+ try to spend the majority of your Serum on the respective farming stages -- either event currency or Memories, depending on your account's development level
  • There are one to two days of down-time between events -- use this time to progress the story and other game modes that cost Serum, like Stronghold and Golden Vortex
  • Try to slowly gather your recommended end-game 6* Memory sets
- You can use lower-rarity placeholders but do not invest in 4* and lower Memories and don't raise your 5* Memories higher than level 35
  • During the transition phase Memory placement does not matter but try to prioritize the optimal slots as shown in each Character's 【Punishing Pub】 Recommended Memory Sets section
- Optimal placement becomes relevant once you'll start hypertuning - LINK NEEDS TO BE UPDATED ONCE THE FAQ IS FINISHED your Characters/Omniframes' Memories
- Prioritize slots 1-3, as 6* Memories have a significantly higher ATK value ceiling and are usually placed in slots 4-6
  • Raise your main team to level 80

Level 80+

General daily/weekly tips

- You have seven refreshes each day and the other rewards are not worth it, always refresh until all three Bounties reward Basic Construct R&D Tickets
  • After your initial 30 pulls awarded from Beginner's Missions the only way to gather the remaining 10 pulls to hit the S-rank pity on the Beginner's banner is through Weekly Bounties mentioned above, Daily/Event Log-In rewards, and the 1 USD pack in the Top-Up Shop
  • Do your weekly Joint Warfare runs - you can do all six runs during stage two when all stages are open
  • Do your weekly WZ runs
  • Do your weekly PPC runs -- you can do all 15 runs on weekends, as Saturdays and Sundays allow 8 attempts each
- WZ and PPC are your weekly main source of Black Cards, 500 each
- Scoring highly in WZ and PPC is not as important as finishing your weekly missions as the additional rewards from higher brackets are negligible
  • Save your PPC Scars for your favorite Characters or high-priority SS-targets, like Rosetta: Rigor
  • Do your weekly Autopoiesis Maze runs -- you can do all of your Exploration stages on Fridays and don't have to play daily
  • Visit your Dorm, pat your Characters, and finish your dorm dailies -- you can craft three random furniture pieces at minimal price and recycle them for an easy daily mission completion
  • Buy the daily A-Rank Construct Shard from the shop -- the other materials are not worth it
  • Try not to farm more than one Interlude each day as the Serum cost can skyrocket quickly while farming multiple Characters/Omniframes' Shards
  • Prioritize farming event stages (event currency/Memories), as Event shops are always more efficient than Resource Stages
  • During lulls between Events, the best resource stages to farm would be Cogs, Overclock Materials, and AE-4/5 in that priority from highest to lowest
  • Always choose the 60-pull-pity, 100% banner once new S-ranks debut -- even big spenders don't touch the floating guarantee 80-100-pull-pity banners
  • You can unlock new A-Ranks with their Shards from the respective event shop without pulling on their banner, but pulling each new S-rank is highly advisable
- Don't forget to raise your new A-ranks to S-rank to unlock their Class Passive - LINK NEEDS TO BE UPDATED ONCE THE FAQ IS FINISHED
