Essential Beginner Tips

Master Epic Seven as a beginner with essential tips on conserving resources, joining guilds, focusing on story, and understanding gacha mechanics for a strong start.

New player? Epic Seven has been recently updated to enhance the new player experience. Follow the in-game guides and Adventurer's Path mode for an introduction to the main mechanics and modes. See the guides and resources below to do a little research if you want, but a new player can go in mostly blind. Here are a few tips to make sure you aren't wasting resources and are headed in the right direction:

• Conserve Molagora: molagora is one resource that is heavily time-gated and scarce, consider saving your molagoras until the end-game or until you absolutely need to use them to progress. These are used to enhance a characters skills but are mostly only required when min-maxing for end game content.
• Web Events: Available in-game in the top right banner as a daily reward for completing certain activities. These are a major source of stamina and resources. This is NOT the reputation rewards.
• Join a Guild: as soon as you can (when you reach Level 10). Guilds provide Gold and EXP buffs along with the ability to trade catalysts, earn Mystc Medals, and participate in World Boss to generate more resources to enhance your heroes. Even if Era guilds don't have room at the moment at least join a random guild.
• Make Era Friends: If you are struggling in content you can friend a high level Era member to let their hero carry you, although less fun, this could get you past some difficulty spikes. The friend suggestions often mirror your level so the odds of having a random friend be overpowered is low.
• Focus on the story: start by clearing the story, abyss, and labyrinth content before grinding low level hunts. There is a lot of free gear given out in these modes and they will be mostly better than the gear you get in low-level hunts. You can then gear some heroes to skip right over the low-level hunts and get into the highest gear tier dropped in Hunt 11's.
• Connection Heroes and Specialty Changes: Get started on these early, they can take a while but provide very valuable heroes for all sorts of contents. Falconer Kluri, Commander Lorina, and Angelic Montmorancy are common Specialty Change units that are frequently used through end-game and Lorina and Montmorancy can be obtained through connection quests.
• Tier lists: beware they are often out of date, ask the thread for hero advice or take what you read on the internet with a grain of salt.
• Spending: besides the two monthly packs that give daily resources, most packs for sale are massive rip-offs
• Secret Shop: Re-rolling the Secret Shop can be a more efficient use of Skystones to generate Mystic Medals and Covenant Bookmarks than using the straight conversion from Skystone in the shop. This costs more gold but in the end will net you more heroes.
• Grinding: being a Korean based mobile Gacha the post-game content of Epic Seven is grind heavy. Players are expected to repeat levels for loot and resources to improve their heroes. This does not change the fact that the story content and first playthrough are a fantastic experience that require little to no grinding. It's entirely possible to enjoy 100+ hours of the game before reaching a heavy grind point. To participate in high-level PvP or the more challenging Raids/Abyss floors some more significant time (or monetary) investment is expected. There is a slight power creep in Epic Seven, and while slow, it does afford more casual players to clear older content (i.e. the once very difficult Abyss 80-90 is now a cake-walk). A lot of this has been alleviated by auto-battle but depending on your situation auto-battling can still take up a significant amount of screen time on a phone.
