need help

[kage1822]

i'm currently profile level 13, my current team is:
Inase (Timekeeper) lvl 13
Vagrant (Heavenhound) lvl 13
Cartilla (Dark Countess) lvl 13
Wardog (The Pale Angel) lvl 13

also have:
Mecha (Araclaw) lvl 4
Wardog (Riot Guard) lvl 8
Vagrant (Kitsune) lvl 1

I'm kinda stuck... I'm on [Elite] 3-5, but can't get past it... all the enemies are either lvl 15 or 16, and I get completely wiped... I'm also almost out of gold from leveling my Personas up... I'm down to 73K gold... is there a way to farm xp or something? how do you guys get past 3-5? I should mention I'm F2P, so I can't buy resources like potions, etc....

Make sure your personas have gear, boost their gear to strengthen it from the gear tab, boost their relics from the relic tab of your inventory, and, if you're still having trouble after all that, then grind some levels by redoing previous stages.

Different elements have advantages and disadvantages, so also take that into account if possible. It's really annoying that they included a rock, paper, scissors element to combat given summoning is generally the way most relics are obtained. I've currently hit my own roadblock at 5-13 where even above the recommend level a critical hit can one or two hit my only non-tanky persona.

boost their relics from the relic tab of your inventory,
same as above

any recommendations on which stage? I was wrong about enemy levels, they're lvl 19+ and the set up screen says recommended to be at least lvl 17

through relics, my team consists of 1 of each color

There are levels under the Resource tab in the Battle section that specifically give gold. There's a daily one and then ones that give less which can be done as many times as you have energy to do them. I'm pretty sure they also grant experience towards your overall level which will help you be able to increase the level of your personas since you can't level them higher than your overall level.

The daily Ongoing Sales tab in the Store usually, if not always, has the bluish-green stone item things that can be used to boost gear. It costs gold, which I know you're low on, but I'd prioritize it over other stuff you don't need at the moment.

I haven't paid much attention to whether different levels within the same chapter give different amounts of experience, but I usually just use the Rush option on the last level I completed so that it's quick and a guaranteed success.

When it comes to Armor in the game there is Rarity (White/Green/Blue/Purple) and then there is Tiers starting at Tier 1 or T1 shown on the bottom left of the armor when getting further in the game remember to go and get higher Tier Armor and if possible higher Rarity either Blue/Purple. The Missions for Armor will always have 3 missions with 2 different armor pieces per Tier. The different Armor Missions will give you armor with different Set Bonus from Attack+, Defense+ so on. These missions will unlock depending on what day it is. Now then lets say you go though the Red Armor mission the first 3 mission will have armor with (T1)Attack+ then the next 3 will (T1)CriticalDamage+ after that it would be (T2)Attack+ so on and so forth(example). You will see a big difference in battle with higher tier of Armor. If you didn't know the Color of the Relics selected for battle is the only thing that determines what you are Strong/Weak against be sure to do explore time missions to earn items used to upgrade them without using relics to upgrade other than dups witch then you Transmute the dups to make the weapon ability like Attack or Boost HIT or Boost HP stronger. Remember to atleast lock 1 new relic. Also don't feed lower Rarity Relics to higher Rarity its a waste even if the lower is maxed, unless you got more than 4 of the same relic maxed out. Always feed same Rarity and Relic to themselves they get more exp then merging a R Blue Dagger and a R Yellow Gun or R Blue Dagger and R Blue Gun.
