Brief Beginner Guide
By leser
This is a short and brief guide intended to provide a foundation for new players. The intent is to be concise and avoid overwhelming you with unnecessary details as you're just starting out. This guide may or may not be expanded upon in the future. These are my personal thoughts based on the content I’ve experienced since starting, so opinions may vary.

Terminology for Beginners
T-Doll
– The characters you use in the game.
Weapons
– Equipment used by T-Dolls, categorized into:
  • Assault Rifles (AR)
  • Sniper Rifles (RF)
  • Handguns (HG)
  • Machine Guns (MG)
  • Submachine Guns (SMG)
  • Swords (BLD)
Confectance Index
– A meter consumed to activate special skills in battle. The meter ranges from 0 to 6, and each T-Doll has different ways of gaining and losing it, depending on their kit and skills.
Collapse Pieces
– Can be redeemed for Intelligence Puzzles (stamina) or Access Permissions (tickets). Do not spend these on regular Access Permissions—only use them for Targeted Access Permissions for better value.
  • 150 Collapse Pieces = 1 roll on any banner.
Vertebrae (Dupes)
– Obtained when pulling a duplicate T-Doll. This increases the Vertebrae level of the T-Doll, unlocking additional bonuses and skills.
Gacha Currency
Orange Ticket
Targeted access permission ticket used for 1 roll on a rate-up limited banner or rate-up permanent unit banner.
Black Ticket
– Access permission ticket for 1 roll on the permanent gacha.
Commander (Player) Level
  • Prioritize increasing your Commander Level as quickly as possible.
  • The most efficient way to do this is by progressing through the campaign.
  • As you play, you will earn Access Keys, which can be redeemed for additional Intelligence Puzzles (stamina).
  • As of now, no event on the global server requires saving these keys, since rate-up resource events typically have a daily cap.
  • Push content as far as possible within the limits of your stamina and commander level. However, do not overly rely on the autoplay function, as the game will progressively get harder and punish you for neglecting to learn its mechanics early on.
Dispatch Room
Once you unlock the Dispatch Room, your T-Dolls will need to undergo a Dispatch Assessment. After completing this assessment, you can send eligible T-Dolls on dispatch missions to earn resources.
  • Avoid using conductor dispatches it's not worth it.
  • The Dispatch Room can be upgraded, providing increased passive resource production, higher stamina reserves, and small passive combat effectiveness bonuses for your T-Dolls.
  • Level up the Dispatch Room as quickly as possible for long-term benefits.
  • To upgrade, use Dispatch Records (keys) earned from daily dispatching.
  • Spend these keys on gift boxes from the Dispatch Shop.
  • Gift your T-Dolls to raise their Affinity Level, which provides individual passive stat bonuses, various small rewards including Access Permissions, and an Affinity Key upon reaching Affinity Level 5.
General Reminders
Avoid spending gold
Save it for late-game weapon attachment grinding.
Basic Info Cores are a very limited resource
DO NOT spend them unless you absolutely need to. Worry about that once you read a more in-depth guide discussing T-Doll usage.

I would like to add that you should never use Precision Boost Chips too much it is a scam you're better off calibrating the best attachments you have; good prioritisation is attack boost > attack > crit rate > crit damage, until you get a good orange meter to 200% cap (would suggest making the orange meter to 200% at least just one or two for attack and attack boost as opposed to crit attacks unless situation calls otherwise)

You can also then rely on your friend to grind 10,000x golds per day using support to you and them, then use the golds after 2 days to convert to 1 mystery coin.

I would add one final tip: When you're through playing for the day, try to use up ALL your stamina before you quit. Run supply missions or something (they'll get you resources you'll need anyway) and try to log out for the day with 0. They'll recover slowly over time, but they're capped (currently the cap is 240). So anything you don't use is effectively lost.
