← Return to the Resource Kit

I saw an L2D of a girl getting whipped/stripped/manhandled. How do I do that?

Obtain 1 copy of that girl's costume (banners) and check the Glupy Diner pack once you unlock it - chances are she'll be there as Fated Guest. Start dating her, unlock her special interaction, and go wild. Nebris (Newbie Pass) and Morpeah (Event Mission) are you starter wives.

Who do I take from the Infinite Reroll?

The tutorial reroll has a limited pool. Celia and Eleaneer are popular options, but you can choose any 5★ you like the looks of.
You get to recruit the girls you didn't chose (+a dupe for the girl you did choose) for free from the pub later anyway.

Celia (left) is a chainer/debuffer for (endgame) PvE boss fights and raids. The main value in recruiting her now is for her Field Skill, which is a great QoL to have: Activate Lathel or Zenith's [Search] ability first, then use Celia's [Absorb] to instantly gather all weekly finds of a map.
Eleaneer is an 11/10 sexo alternative if you'd rather have an extra (Phys) DPS or just want all of her glorious boobage on your homescreen. She mainly excels in PvP (the only non-limited 2SP dispel in the game at +3), but also comes in very handy in some of the later story packs (taunt/counter mobs).

For Equipment the value is Kry's UR Swords > Eleaneer's SR Bow (if you took her)/Wiggle's UR Bomb > Justia's SR Sword.
Don't waste hours trying to get Celia + Kry's Swords or any such perfect roll, it's all just minor stuff. Any of the above will help you.

How to "True Reroll"?

Rerolling isn't worth it in this game. You get ~300+ free draw tickets every month, and every girl has her uses.
If you still really want to do it: Play Story Pack 1 until you get your first few starter pulls, collect draw tickets from active events/codes, and pull on a pickup banner you like.
✔️Got the rate-up girl or a double/triple 5★ hit in those starter pulls? Keep (link account).
❌Didn't get the rate-up girl or any double/triple 5★ hits? Restart.

Newglutti Tips

1. Autobattle works for early story, not beyond that. P.B.A - Position, Buff, Attack. The Taros Tactics Manual can help you understand the game.
2. UREX/gear banners are for rank chasers, or if the unit is (you)r wife. UREX gear offers a ~10% damage boost compared to crafted URIVs (free). You'll also get some UREXs for free every month.
   Feel free to give gear banners a shot if she's your wife or she is crazy good, but burning all your newglutti pulls on these is a good way to brick.
3. You get a daily free pull on every banner. Rather than +5ing a new unit on Day 1 you might want to wait and see what the free pulls give you first.
4. Use your monthly selective enhancement (Gold Thread Shop) to max out core supports like Liberta/Refi before you spend it on a DPS unit.
5. Tears of Goddess are rare. Don't spend them on 3/4★ units that are not Arines/Elpis/Student Samay, on DPS increases for non-DPS units (Olstein/Celia), or on Tanks & Fixed Damage dealers unless you are into PvP (Alec/Justia/Lecliss/Glacia etc).
6. Join a GUILD after clearing Main Story SP3. You get a daily 50.000 gold for checking in, which is a huge deal for a new player.
7. If you like the game and can afford it: The $4.29 MEGA package gives you five 5★ costumes, 100+ pulls, a few good gear sets, and half a year's worth of materials. It is a value that you won't see in BD2 or any gacha ever again, and is available from the in-game shop/webshop for 3 days after you start. You'll get a notification before it expires.
8. In Event Battles, you don't need to deploy the Event Costumes to get the extra currency. Just owning a copy of that costume will give the boost.

Teambuilding 101

BD2 is all about Buffers and Gear. Pair your 2 strongest (AoE) DPS with Elpis/B-Helena (if magic) or Arines/Liberta (if physical), give said DPS your best gear, and make sure that your buffers always go first in the skill order.

Any remaining slots in your party are flex. These can be units to reposition enemies with their push skills (make your AoEs hit more mobs), extra DPS to clean up leftover mobs, a crowd-control unit like Olstein/Lucrezia (Silence), or an extra buffer/vulnerability applier.
Tanks in this game are for PvP. If you do need to dodge something in PvE Andrew (4★ taunt/dodge tank) or Rou will usually suffice since you can just restart the turn if a crucial dodge fails. Units like Apostle Olivier and Pool Justia (free from the Summer Knight pack) also have fixed 100% dodges.

Physical or Magical?
Physical is what the game starts you out with and currently has the highest potential at endgame once well-invested.
Magic one-shots everything until you reach that point with its superior free/welfare DPS units and buffers.
Early on it will be easier to build a strong magic team than a strong physical team.

How to Clear Content?

Most PvE content can be oneshot with a buffed and geared up AoE DPS. Use push skills as needed and position well to make AoEs connect.

When you run into HP bloat and cannot oneshot you need to improve your characters (gear/dupes) and/or play by the Elements System. This means using an elemental buffer (Refi/Diana) + 1-2 DPS of a stronger element than the mobs you're facing. Elements are your standard Fire>Wind>Water>Fire, with Light and Dark being strong and weak vs. each other.

Besides playing by Elements a lot of battles can be cheesed by using a Silencer (Olstein/Lucrezia), stalling until death time buffs (BVMorpeah summons), a buffed/shielded up Apostle Blade (grid-wide counters), or using the "Continue" function (if the boss is within killing range).
You can also borrow 3 units per game mode, up to 3x per day from a friend. There's always solutions.

Starter Teams

The game starts you with Physical, so your very first team will likely look something like this:

You likely won't use this for very long, since new players have access to several free +5 mages who will just delete stuff and carry a lot of the game for you. One of your first goals should be to complete all Costume Missions for your free +5 Dalvi and Eclipse (see "Events" at the bottom of the Homescreen), and to +5 B-Helena through the special tickets you get from the Newbie Pass (Recommend Select Draw).

B-Helena, Elpis, Eclipse and Dalvi, a very accessible and solid early magic team.

Whether you play Magic or still prefer Physical, you can swap out units for stronger buffers or DPS as you obtain them.

Gear/Levels

Levels are a quick, fast and good boost for your characters early on. Dispatch to Slime Island on days where it has a 2x rate-up active, and push LV80 on your strongest DPS. Once you reach the endgame (UR) gear grind you can stop doing Slime Island and just dispatch for crafting materials (or gold as needed) - the game gives you enough slimes to passively L100 all your units.

GEAR however is the single most impactful factor in the game besides buffers.

• Start by having Fred/Layla craft a Blue (R) IV set for your main DPS units. Upgrade the pieces to +9, optionally refine them a couple times so they are no longer below rank 12~14.
• The next major upgrade is UR Gear. Bulk craft/dismantle N-grade Swords/Armor to quickly level up either crafter and unlock UR crafting.
• Don't forget to upgrade Fred's/Layla's skill every time their Crafting XP bar is full. The 3★ Skill Books you need are sold by the vendors in some packs, 4★ Skill Books come from the Tower of Pride. You can one-shot/clear pretty much all 6 floors there with a buffed up AoE DPS or two.

Once you have unlocked UR Crafting your goal is to aim for UR III and ideally UR IV gear.
Venomous Touch > Weapon/Gloves > Double DEF or Double MRES Armors/Helmets.
Gear can be freely swapped between characters, so with 4-6 Venomous Touch, 2 MATK/CDMG Staffs, 2 ATK/CDMG Swords, 2 (non-crit) Phys gloves and 2 Magic gloves you can already get very far.

Below are the most commonly crafted pieces; ones not shown here are situational (for specific characters or PvP):

TIPS:
Try to get 3x Crit.DMG substats on your first few URIV Venomous Touch and double DEF/MRES Armors/Helmets. These be equipped by any unit, allowing for example magical units to still deal their damage in physical hunts. Weapons and Gloves however are class-specific (phys or magic), so people usually put the ATK and MATK rolls on them. (M)ATK% percentage rolls are >flat values in 90% of the cases.
Scroll down and bulk activate the codes on the BD2Wiki Homepage for a Free URIII Venomous Touch.
The 3-day MEGA package ($4.29) comes with two full UR III sets.

Where to get more UR Crafting Materials?

• Ancient Crystals (ACs): Event Shop, Towers (esp.Pride), and Last Night - you get mailed ACs daily based on your recorded highest score.
• Crafting Materials: Daily pass missions/events, and sweeping up the weekly "finds" on the town & battle maps of Story Packs 7, 8, 9, 13, 16, 17, as well as Story Packs 1, 2, and the Firechip Character Pack).

1

Tip: Use Lathel's or Zenith's **[Search]** ability first and follow up with Liberta/Celia's **[Absorb]** to also succ up the hidden finds on a map.

For more crafting materials daily dispatch to HG7VH (Lizardman Altar-Very Hard) for Ores / HG9VH (Mountain Keeper's Shelter-Very Hard) for Wood. These are also the 2 Hunting Grounds you'll use for the rest of the game.

• Ability Pills: Event Shop. If you need more beyond that you can also buy them from any pack vendor for gold.

1

Tip: Complete any 1 purple/bulletin board quest in that pack first for a week long -10% discount.

• Gold: Join a guild for the daily check-in (50.000), recruit Olstein (SP4 Pub) for his cat dispatches, improve your Last Night score, and get the limited golds from the event shop+other shops. You can supplement this by activating Teresse's field skill and running into the monsters on battle maps while her skill is active, selling food ingredients to shops, or dispatching to Goblin Ruins VH on days where it has double rewards active.

Engraving/Potential

Engraving/Awakening (Essences+Scrolls) is a DPS boost for end-endgame players who have finished everything else. Skip this for now.
Potential/Bonding (Crystals+Gold) is pretty important however: This enhances a costume's skills, making it easier to do full rotations, and gives hefty character stat boosts on top.

Focus on unlocking any nodes that reduce that costume (skill)'s cooldown or SP cost on good buffers that you own first, followed by DPS.

If you recently started AND own Bunny Loen or Sacred Justia:

0. Damage per Target and Skill Range+ nodes on either of those units.

In all other cases/after:

1. -SP Cost on owned Buffers/Supports (B-Helena, B.Refi etc)>DPS.
2. -Skill Cooldowns on units like Diana, Curse Celia, DJVenaka, Maid Lia etc.
3. +Skill Range on buffers like on Bride Refi, Diana, MCTeresse>DPS like Loen, Venaka, Maid Liatris
4. +% (Self)-Buff Values on buffers like Liberta and B-Helena, Diana>DPS like NH.Nebris
5. +Vulnerability/Augmentation on those units: Track Levia, GRafina, WDVenaka, Y.Blade
6. Damage (%) increments on good DPS.

Bond stats are only active for the particular costume you bonded. You can change this bond costume anytime you want different stats.
Unlocked skill nodes are always active, regardless of what costume is bonded.

What Costume do I Bond?
Elemental Damage+ in content where type matchups matter (Fiend Hunt/Guild Raids, or H/VH Packs and Tower stages you are stuck on).
In general PvE and in certain endgame teams (once your gear is really good) use whatever gives the most (M)ATK and CDMG.
Anything with purely Defensive stats (HP/DEF/MRES) and/or Crit Rate is for PvP.

Units, Banners & Pulling

Several costumes can be recruited for free from the Pub, Newbie Pass, Welfare Missions, Events like the monthly Character Pass, and Shops.
For everything else it's gacha time.

BD2 has costume and gear banners. Costume banners are where it's at, as you can craft almost as good gear for completely free (~10% damage gap vs banner UREXs). Costumes can also be enhanced with dupes, gear cannot.
Costumes and gear banners have separate pity trackers. Pity carries over between banners. You can't get gear from costume banners and vice versa.

You get a free daily pull on every banner, and 10 pulls cashback the first 5 times you obtain the rate-up costume. Pity is 10 pulls for a random 4★, and 100 pulls for a 5★ (50/50 between the banner target or random 5★).
Every time you pull on a banner you also obtain a banner-specific Draw Point. 200 of these points exchange to the banner target (Hard Pity).
Unused draw points are collected after the banner ends and converted into a global currency you can exchange for costumes in the shop.

Q: PULL or SAVE?
Pull moderately, and PULL hard when good units are up (buffers/good DPS) or when you see a unit that you like.
May~June (Collab into anniversary) and December~January (half-anniversary/winter) are the most stacked months in the game. The game has lots of generous events around that time, but even so you want to start saving up at least a month in advance.

Who to Pull/Build

The girls you like the most, since that is what gachas are about. Especially this one, since (mostly) every girl has her uses.
If Meta or low on pulls/mats the priorities are (dupes on) buffers/supporters, Limited units and good DPS/Chainers.
You can use This Tier List as a reference. Anything in S or up is a costume you can safely invest in.

With casual play the game gives you a daily pull on every banner, ~300 pulls, and five 5★ costumes every month. It is designed so that you can get at least 1 copy of every girl as they appear. This single copy is enough to unlock her dating content (if any) and L2D+cutscene for the Homescreen.

In short, roll on units that you like and/or are good.
Aim to +5 all good buffers/support units you can, and work your way up to having at least 2 good DPS units per element (=having all costumes of that unit). Most costumes give their -SP reduction at +1, so try get at least 2 copies of each costume.

Pulling Strategy & Limiteds

You get a free daily pull on every banner, so a popular strategy is pull to +3 and then wait to see what the free daily pulls give you.
On the final day of a banner you can then push that unit to +4 and optionally finish the costume (+5) with the Powder Shop copy afterwards.
This does not work for Limited units; you need to pull for the desired dupe level while their banners are active. Limited units rerun every year, around the time where their banner first launched (eg Bunny Eclipse in Winter). Collab limiteds sometimes rerun as well.

SHOPS: What do I buy?

Event Shop

The UR gear piece is great for new accounts, as its guaranteed SSS rolls puts it on par with a URIII+ piece in quality.
Especially UR Event Weapons, Gloves or Double Crit. DMG accessories will be massive boosts for your DPS units and thus account.
When buying UR Gear remember that you also need 27 gear tokens to fully upgrade it (=2700 event currency, so total 5700).

0. UR Piece + 27 gear tokens

If you started too late to clean out the current shop (or if the UR is shit):

1. 3x Tears of Goddess → Ancient Crystals → Draw Tickets
2. Newglutti growth materials (4★ Rank-Up Stars, Red Slimes, Gold) & Ability Pills as needed.
3. Essences/Refining Crystals as needed
4. Dump the rest into Refining Powders until the event ends. You'll thank me later.
   

Powder Shop (Mileage)

This is where you can buy 1 copy of any non-limited costume that just concluded its run. The other costumes are for the upcoming Fiend Hunt.
Most players stop rolling on (non-limited) units at +4 since the final copy doesn't give any tickets cashback. They then +5 her with this powder shop copy.

1. Whichever COSTUME(s) you like / are good. Nothing else. When in doubt ask in /bd2g/.
   

Golden Colosseum Shop

Wind and Light are the best value for the Property Selective Tickets, followed by Dark. Fire and Water are the worst options.
You get 100 Colosseum entries per week. 10 wins per week in this mode ensures you can buy the essentials.

1. 2x 5★ Property Select Draw Ticket
2. Ancient Crystals → Draw Tickets → Limited Gold/Powders/Elixirs.
3. If you are into decorating your Chibi Avatar (Square), MyRoom or ID Card: this is one of the few place in the game to obtain Deco Coins.
   

Gold Thread Shop

You get Gold Threads every time you obtain a copy of a unit that is already +5. This is slow at first, but as soon as you have your 4★ units maxed out it will start to go up. The system is designed so that you can afford at least the monthly selector even as a non-spender.

1. Monthly Selective Enhancement (1600).
   The only guaranteed way to force a costume dupe outside of its banner (200 points exchange). Typically used to elevate supports/buffers>DPS.
2. The random costume (1600) may sometimes also be worth it, or be worth it even more in some cases. Ask in /bd2g/ if not sure.
3. Spenders/veterans can also grab the Tears, Property Draw Ticket, Draw Tickets or Powders.
   

Mirror Wars Shops (PvP)

1. Monthly 5★ Costume (18000 tokens)
   If you can afford it:
2. Refining Powders (NOT crystals)
3. Gold

Get the costume if it is a good (ask in bd2g if not sure). If it is shit (or you don't need it), get the powders/gold and skip the rest.
18000 tokens seems steep, but there is a trick to it. Assemble an offense/defense team and let your 40 free runs play out manually the first time you do Mirror Wars after the weekly reset on Monday.
On all subsequent days you can then set the cocktail consumption to 40 and burn them all in a single one-tap.

Evil Castle Shop (Tower)

Tokens are mailed to you daily based on your recorded score in the 6-floor Tower of Pride. This comes from how many of the 6 floors you cleared first, and how many floors you perfect cleared second.

1. 4★ Ability S. Books as needed. This is the only place in the game to get them.
2. Monthly Essences & Scrolls as needed.
3. Refining Powders > Gold

A perfect clear (100k score per floor) requires you to clear each floor battle in one turn, do 1Mil+ damage with a single hit (nukers like SERafina/Loen/Yuri/Bustia), have all units at Full HP from start to end (heal before going into the tower!), and playing by the floor's rules (eg use 4 Fire units on F1). You can look up guides on Youtube once you have the necessary units/gear to perfect clear ToP1-6.

Guild Shop

You get deeds based on score thresholds your guild reaches during the monthly Guild Raid, and another batch of tokens based on your guild's rank after the season ends. Buying out the essentials costs 8000 tokens (11000 if you also want the essences)

1. Tear → Elixers → Draw Tickets

If you are in a guild that prints a good amount of tokens:

2. Essences
3. Scrolls as needed
4. Refining Powders / save for next month's items.
   

Pub Recruitment/Contracts

Recruitment Contracts are used to recruit a pool of 3-5★ costumes for free via the Pub system.
The Newbie Pass gives you a lot of contracts, but outside of that they are a rare resource.

Most people trade their 3★ and 4★ Contracts into 5★ ones (Shop>Items) since you'll automatically max out all 3★ and 4★ units while pulling on banners anyway. Still, if there's specific 5★ units you want you can clear out the 3★ characters in the pub to increase the chance of that 5★ appearing.

Most important recruits (Diana, Liberta) are all fixed and show up in the pub of their story pack after you clear it, and stay there until you recruit them. They're not part of the rotation slots, so don't worry you'll miss them. Each pub costume can only be recruited once.

Q : Which Pub 5★ do I recruit first?

Outside of the fixed guests, the game cycles through all remaining Chance% guests. These change every 2h.

1. Diana (Fixed/SP10 pub)
   -Free daily gems or other important goodies (Rice) via her dispatch ability.
2. Olstein (Fixed/SP4 pub)
   -Major gold generator for newgluttis via his dispatch ability. He can also cheese a lot of PvE content for you with his 3x3 AoE Silence.
3. Dark Saintess Liberta (Fixed/SP15 Pub)
   -BIS Physical buffer. Heavy on dupes (needs +3 to replace Arines), so this copy helps.
   -Has Absorb for fast map clearing.
4. Celia (Chance %)
   -Map-wide absorb and a core chainer for endgame content/bosses.
5. Liatris (Fixed/SP8 pub) / WDVenaka (Chance %)
   -3x3 AoE. Somewhat lower priority due to the free welfare units, but still very good units to have. Especially Liatris (Top F1)

Other useful pub units include Blade, Rou, Refi, Granadair, Palette and Mamonir.

The Select Draw Banners

There are a number of permanent banners in the game that allow players to quickly build their roster or force (dupes of) desired units.
Remember that every spook will pay itself back some day through its rerun banner, where you can cash in 10 tickets for every owned copy.

[Newgluttis] Recommend Select Draw

This is a prefixed pool of 12 costumes. You get 12 tickets from the Newbie Pass; 5 more are available from the $4.29 MEGA package.
You can access this selection anytime so long as you have a ticket ("Use" from inventory). The MEGA package however is only available for 3 days after your first login, and will not rerun once it expires.

Most guides will tell you to +5 B-Helena/H-Lathel and +4 Diana. You get 1 free copy of Diana from Story Pack 10, so with the $4.29 package you can max out exactly all 3 units.

Personally I think there is more merit in +5ing B-Helena and +4ing Diana (you +5 her with the free story copy), and then putting the remaining tickets to other units. H-Lathel is still okay, but is a situational buffer more than anything these days. With the great welfare mages that you can now obtain (Event Missions) you're bound to get more value out of a +2 or +4 Track Suit Levia.

If you've already got those, another good idea is to get at least 1 copy of Zenith, G.Rafina, Glutton Refi and Loen. WDVenaka is in the pub, but you can always grab this copy to inch closer to her maxed buff value (+3). Seir/Ventana/Rubia are too niche and are not recommended.

[Limited] 1-Pick Select Draw

Simply put, this lets you to re-create a pickup banner for any past (non-limited unit) of choice. The selected unit gets the same (very slightly better) 1.5% rate as during her actual pickup banner. The target girl can be swapped out any time, but you can only swap 10 times total.
In all other aspects it is a regular pickup banner: you can get spooked by random units, but also have access to the 200 pulls (draw points) hard pity.

This banner is great for users who want to force +4~5 on high value costumes like Dark Saint Liberta/Bride Refi, or really want a specific Fated Guest/unit. This banner only runs during the game's (mini)anniversary events, which tend to give out lots of purple tickets to use on this or the 12pick draw.

[Permanent] 12-Pick Select Draw

The game's standard banner. You slot in 12 costumes of choice, and every 5★ you obtain while pulling will be one of the selected costumes.
The one exception is the guaranteed 5★ on every 100th pull, which still has a 50% chance to be a random spook.

This is a great banner to slowly raise your roster over time, as it greatly reduces the chance of undesired spooks. Similar to the 1-pick draw it will use purple tickets before it consumes the more valuable red tickets or diamonds.

Note that the 12-Pick does not have a hard pity system: draw points can only exchange to powders. It's just RNG pulls with no fixed goal.
You can toss purple tickets at it as you obtain them (unless you're close to an anni month, in which it may be better to save for the 1-Pick), but only spend red tickets on this sporadically (if you feel lucky). The best way to obtain/elevate a unit will always be through its rerun banner.
Don't use the 12-Pick to try and force that last copy to +5 on a unit.

Tips:

• Slot in buffers, supporters, at least 2 Carry DPS/Nukers, and aim for 1 copy (+0) on each Utility unit over time.
  You can refer to this tier list to get an idea of who are good units to slot in. Focus on units in S or above.
• Diana and B-Helena are free +5 costumes after the 2.0anni (Newbie Pass tickets) and are not listed. Of course, you can slot them in if you used your Newbie Pass Tickets on other units. Keep in mind that you get 1 Diana from SP10, and 1 Liberta from SP15.
• Owning 1 copy of a costume will allow you to start elevating it with the monthly GT shop selector.
• Some units like New Hire Nebris and Sylvia are heavy investment - they can only truly shine if you own their other costumes at certain dupe levels. If you are new I recommend looking to single-costume friendly alternatives for that element for now, like Starlight Guardian Tyr for Wind.
• Keep in mind that you get 1 copy of certain costumes for free from the pub, so units like Dark Saintess Liberta, Glutton Refi and SERafina can be removed at +4 and finished with the pub copy.

[Limited] 12-Pick "Golden Hand" Select Draw

A paid version of the regular 12-pick select draw, this once-per-account banner guarantees 3 5★ costumes of the 12 you slot in for $17.
The 5★ costumes are randomly selected from the 12 you wishlisted, and you cannot reroll for a different outcome. It is available during the game's anniversaries.

[Limited] Special Infinite Draw

A paid version of the Infinite Reroll from the Tutorial, featuring every (non-limited) unit released before the current patch. It is available 1-2x per year.
There is no limit on the amount of rerolls you can do, and you can even quit midway to continue rolling another day.
You can get multiple 5★ in one 10-pull, so with enough patience you can roll for 3 good 5★ costumes for $17 - a true "Golden Hand".

Spending Tips (F2P/Casual)

The game has some very good deals, but also a lot of bait ones.

If you are new: GET the 3-days MEGA Sale Package ($4.29), even if you don't plan to spend on this game ever. Five 5★ costumes, 100+ pulls, 2 URIII gear sets, and 6+ months worth of material farming for less than $5, it's a value you won't see in BD2 or any gacha ever again.
This package is only available for 3days after you start the game, and it won't rerun. See the big orange button at the bottom of your Homescreen.

The next best options are the RENEW Special Dash Packages, the Monthly Dia Packs, and generally any time-limited packages or passes terms like with "MEGA", "ANNIVERSARY" or "DELUXE" in the name. See the Value per pack Reference to check what is good.

TIP: If you want to spend do it during the game's (mini) anniversary patches (Mar/June/Dec) - these have by far the best deals of the year.

BD2 Webshop

BD2 also has a Webshop with periodical freebies, like a -20% coupon or free in-game goodies.
What makes the webshop good is that it allows you to easily change your region to Japan and its way cheaper Yen currency, which makes for example a prestige skin cost $45 max instead of $60. The developers have repeatedly reminded people that the easy region change option exists (max. 3x).

The webshop is especially interesting for casual spenders or those who don't have a Google JP Payment Profile or high Playstore level.
Note that you may need to use a VPN set to Japan to complete checkout depending on the chosen payment option. Even just a free one like Tunnelbear, Mudfish will do it - just activate the VPN, refresh the web store front page, and then finalize your purchase.

Also note that webshop mileage expires after 30days. So it is good to start with your biggest planned purchase first (with the -20% coupon), and then use up the webshop mileage on cheaper stuff after.

Other FAQ

How generous is this game??

A casual F2P account generates 300+ free pulls per month (more during Annis). This excludes the daily free banner pulls.
Without spending a single ticket you are also guaranteed five 5★ costumes per month (2x Gold Colosseum, 1x Tower of Salvation, 1x PvP Shop, 1x monthly Character Pass), some UREX tickets, and 8 Tears of Goddess.

Is there any content that is unobtainable as a free player?

There are cosmetic-only paid skins that are obtainable through a gacha ($8~$60, or max $45 if you use JP Yen), or can be bought directly for $17.
Everything else is freely obtainable, including the battle pass.

Do I buy the Premium Pass (Battle Pass) for 1000 Dias?

Yes, always. You can buy it with Free Dias, and it yields ~16 pulls profit on top of the other goodies.
TIP: Buy it once you reached LV17. That way you'll finish the pass in one go and skip the increased EXP requirements for Lv17-20.

What are Good Units?

Buffers dominate this game and enable your DPS. Supporters, big AoE DPS units, and non-collab Limiteds are (usually) always safe investments.

When is the Daily Reset?

00:00 UTC. On patch days the servers go down for maintenance 10mins earlier (23:50 UTC).
Any Ranked Content (Raids/PvP) closes earlier: FH/GR closes at 15:00 UTC on maintenance day, Mirror Wars at 15:00 UTC on Sundays, and Golden Colosseum at 15:00 on Wednesdays.

What Elements do I use my Property Draw Tickets on?

Wind=Light>Dark>Fire/Water.

Can I buy an account?

You could, but unless you want to rank there's no point to it. The game shits on free pulls and past collab units(not meta) get reruns.
Note that purchased accounts that have illegally generated currency on them or used chargebacks do get caught in sweeps on this game, so buying one is entirely at your own risk.

Where do I use my Search charges/What maps do I sweep?

The town and battle packs of Main SP 7 (Fury), 8 (Bloody), 13 (Song) ,16 (Alliance) and 17 (Trials) for Iron Ores + SP 9 (Iron) for Wood.
After that Firechip for both, and Main Story SP1 & SP2 for bonus ores/woods.
TIP: You can "pin" these maps in the pack select menu for easy access. The finds reset once per week, so you can wait for your absorb charges to refill.

How to get more Refining Powders?

Spend your rice on HG7VH or HG9VH dispatches (Lizardman/Mountain) and do your weekly search/absorb sweeps in the maps listed above.
Craft N Mercenary Weapons/Armors in sets of 2000; then in the settings, set +6, max attempts/gold, and tick "auto dismantle". This gets you 18k powders for 406k gold/6k ores or 6k woods with the least amount of ability pills used.
You can also +6->dismantle UR I/II gear you got while crafting for URIVs if you have enough gold. This can get pretty expensive, so it shouldn't be your main source for powders.

What can I do with UREX dupes?

If you are into PvP you can keep a copy of Morpeah's and Granhildr's UREX for separate rolls. In all other cases: +6 gear dupes and dismantle.

What Refinement Grade do I settle on?

Any Rank 18 Refinement on URIV gear is a good budget stopping point. Anything more is for rank chasers.
The priority is always Venomous Touch > Weapons/Gloves. Armors/Helmets don't need to be Rank 18 unless you plan to PvP or rank chase.

How to boost my Last Night score?

Obtain at least 1 copy of Bride Refi, Onsen Liberta, and Miko Granadair for massive damage gains.
The rest is slotting in other buffers, chainers, and finally the best DPS you have at the end of your lineup.
TIP: Use the Nebris you get from the Newbie Pass and PoVLathel (free +2 from clearing SP7 on all 3 difficulties), and make them go last in the load order. Besides that work on your Support Bonus: Crafting full SRIII +6 sets for every owned unit that isn't participating in the attack lineup is a good and cheap way to get lots of damage for free. Keep in mind gear rolls don't matter for support bonus, so just give them whatever you've got.

Why is the game named "Brown Dust"?

Koreans love to use cool sounding English names and terms for their games.
The idea was that it refers to the dust that is kicked up by armies marching to battle, but it played out a bit different.

I asked a question and now people are trying to lick me. Is this normal?
