Beginner Guide

First days: herb economy, Lab, a 5-hero core, alliance, and what to bank for duel.

Updated:

Early goal

Do not chase Sanctuary level for the number. In the first days you need:

  1. Stable herb / food / timber production
  2. A never-idle Research Lab queue
  3. An active alliance
  4. A 5-hero core, not 10 half-built units

First 48 hours

  1. Clear Chapter Quests — main XP, speedups, and shards (tap the top quest tracker).
  2. Production order: Herb Garden → Farm → Lumberyard. Medicine is the bottleneck.
  3. Keep storage slightly ahead of production (~12h offline buffer).
  4. Unlock Lab and never leave the queue empty.
  5. Join an alliance immediately: helps and events beat a fancy tag.
  6. Assign every survivor to production right away.
  7. Explore via the Falcon Tower — resources and tickets.

Economy

Do not upgrade Sanctuary if the production trio lags by 2+ levels. Extra wards without herbs stall the account.

First-day order: production → storage → Sanctuary → wards → towers at choke points for Rat Swarm.

Starter hero core

Position Role Pick
Front Tank Arthur (UR) or Bella (SSR)
Back Main DPS Marlena or Grenwald
Back Support Stellar
Flex Damage / utility Griffith / Claire

Invest order: tank + carry skills → their gear → the rest of the roster. One fully built hero beats three half-built ones.

Bank from day one

Resource For
Build / research speedups Alliance Duel
Training speedups Duel Day 5
Falcon Quests Matching phase (often 1 / 3 / 5)
Antitoxin / shards Mostly Day 4

Beginner mistakes

  • Pushing Sanctuary without economy
  • Burning speedups on normal days
  • Spreading mats across 10 heroes
  • Placing Rat Swarm towers everywhere instead of choke points
  • Ignoring alliance until mid-game
  1. Sanctuary — level thresholds
  2. Research — tree order
  3. Alliance Duel — weekly cycle
  4. Lifehacks — point timing
