1. What should I do first?

First, in the normal stage, isolate where you are having trouble, such as running out of time, being wiped out, or placement. After that, select training candidates based on the confirmed beginner evaluation and evolution priority.

2. Advance through normal stages

If you can't win, deal with each symptom.

Time is up

Points to check: Insufficient firepower

  • Adopt a multi-lane attacker.
  • Move/add Tatari to the lane that cannot be defeated.
  • In some cases, there is an option to place something other than a tank fighter in the front row.

Annihilation

Points to check: Vanguard is not holding up/insufficient durability

  • Review the placement of healers.
  • Proceed with tank level and star reinforcement.

Placement

Points to check: Positioning is not engaged

  • Sometimes it can be improved by just lowering the whole area by one square.

See normal strategy in detail

3. Collect stars

For evolution candidates, check the required number of stars and changes after evolution. Current data specifies the number of stars needed for the first T3 candidate.

Check the required number of stars with evolution priority

4. Tatari that you want to grow first

ヒモリ family SSS

Firepower for the early stages that allows you to quickly aim for the 3rd evolution. Causes damage mainly through combustion.

For the early stages where you can aim for the 3rd evolution quickly. As it evolves, the explosion frequency will increase and it will also gain deceleration.

プラビ family SS

ヒマワリン family SS

Responsible for recovery and attack and defense buffs at the same time. Highly versatile as support for the entire formation.

ヒノムシ family SS

A powerful family that combines area attack, recovery, and attack power enhancement. It is excellent in multiple modes, but in the latest domestic and international evaluations, it is judged to be one step below the overall top 5 families.
