Grand Summoners Player Progression Guide

Credits to: sooperrandomname#4114

{Step One} Build up your equipment. A good equipment box is as good a carry as any unit
through the early-game. There should always be a special Equipment banner (The Great
Awakening, Seasonal (Halloween, Summer, Christmas) or Collaboration) up at all times, so pull
on those! If you don't have enough crystals to do so once you've finished rerolling, skip ahead to
Step Two and come back to this step once you have 30 .

{Step Two} Develop your units. Note that the following advice only applies to 5-star units. Do not
invest into 4-star units as they are VERY easily replaced. Level them to their max and Evolve
them as much as you can (not Awakening just yet) (complete Metal Chicken Quests and Golcat
Quests for this). Limit Break important units like Fes/Limited Units and max out their Limit Break
Stats with Tasmons. Also Limit Break important gacha (not Event) Equipment to reduce their
CT. You may consult #questions-and-advice for Limit Break priority until you can judge for
yourself.

{Step Three} Progress through the story up until Chapter 5. If you find yourself struggling at
some point, try and Awaken one of your units. Otherwise, with competent team-building and
gameplay, you should be able to do it with ease. The importance of doing this is completing all
Story Quest Missions for Rayas' LB Units which you can use to get him to Luck 80 (!!!).

{Step Four} Awaken your units. This is done by gathering Awoken Fragments from Giant
Bosses. The best way to get these as a newbie is to do the ADV-PRO difficulties' Missions
(usually Break DMG, no deaths and don't use duplicate units). If these aren't sufficient to
Awaken any of your units, farm PRO (or ask for help farming PRO in #find-a-party or #global-
general) for AWK keys then request for help with the AWK-difficulty of the GB from WOKEs by
reading #awoken-access. Limited Missions may also be available that grant Awoken
Fragments.

{Step Five} Complete the Tower of Initiation and Training. The Tower of Initiation and Training
Quests are pretty easy to complete and have useful rewards for a new player, including filler
Equipment, LB Stones and Crystals. Be sure to complete them for the freebies!

{Step Six} Get a proper Luck Unit! Rayas can't sustain you forever as he's quite weak, so the
sooner you can get a Luck unit the better! It's generally agreed that Edram from the Echoes of
Invasion Trial Event is the best Luck Unit to farm to 120 Luck for his versatile kit and ease-of-
farm, so be sure to get to #find-a-party to get a proper farm party together ASAP. If his Event
isn't up at the moment, it usually rotates in once or twice a week, so just skip ahead to Step
Seven for the moment.

{Step Seven}Farm equipment. Most of the better equipment in the game is farmable, so don't be
afraid to try out a few events! Check #collab-event-info (if it's up when a Collaboration Event is
on) or #banner-and-event-advice for advice on what to farm and how much of it to farm.
Equipment from Events (not Giant Bosses) are usually limited and very powerful, so put those at
a priority and farm GB equipment later. The `... gbdrops` command lists some very useful
farmables from GBs (most notably Relic "Lesser Demonheart" from "Caves of Darkness"), and
you can ask in #questions-and-advice if you should farm certain equipment or not (if you're
unsure). Getting a Luck Unit makes this step much less painful, so prioritize Step Six over this
step.

{Step Eight} Farm Events! Events are limited-time Quests that give currency, which can be
traded in at the Alchemist (Town > Alchemist > Exchange) for Limited S Potions (top priority for
their low price) LB Stones (actual top priority), Equipment Enhancement Materials (second
priority, unless you have a large overflow of these), Evolution Materials (the Dragon Gods share
second priority as they can be fused into Paradisos at the Alchemist), Event Equipment (priority
is usually first, second or third, unless the Equipment is quite bad, see #banner-and-event-
advice for more info), Boot Camp Keys (fourth priority) and Awoken Souls (fifth priority due to
their high price).
