LOA2 Free Player - Starting Out Tips

Here are some starting tips for free-to-play (f2p) players. Do take note though that you should not follow the tips here if you are aiming to be the top player on the first week. Although it's doable, trying to be the best in a new server is very hard for an f2p player.

1. Focus on elite heroes when starting out.

For heroes, you can use 2 area of effect dps heroes, 2 healers, and of course your main. The best combo, for me, is Elaine (aoe dps), Mikaela (aoe dps), Nicole (healer), and Natalie (healer). Elaine and mikaela can clear maps fast while Nicole and Natalie are good healers. You will also get a boost on ATK from Natalie.

2. Buy refresh tokens on first and second day.

Don't have the heroes you want? You can buy refresh tokens to refresh the hero shop for more chances of getting shards of the required heroes above. Once you have enough shards, synth them to get the hero. Also, make sure you buy shards for the heroes with affinity to Elaine and Mikaela for starters.

3. Use a formation that focuses on quick rage for your healers.

Your healers need rage so that their heal can keep the rest of the team alive. Because of this, you need your healers on the front, along with your main. Put Elaine and Mikaela at the back to keep them alive longer. Nicole will heal the heroes in front while Natalie will be able to heal those at the back in case you are up against back row killers. You will survive long with this setup.

4. Buy all stamina packs you can, including those in the mall.

You will need stamina for leveling, farming, and clearing maps. I suggest you buy stamina 5 times (limit for a free player) and grab any stamina on sale in the mall.

5. Buy at least 100 diamonds worth of extra raid and palace energy, and also raid packs and palace energy packs on sale.

Palace energy makes your AFK dungeon raiding longer which in turn nets you more coins and relics. Raid keeps you supplied with relics and shards to synth to relics, and who knows, you might get lucky and get a legendary relic.

6. Make sure you got your heroes augmented to +4 on 2nd or 3rd day.

Once you got your heroes to +4, you will be more competitive in quest maps, arena, and abyss. Augmenting to +5 will be much easier once you get to +4.

7. Do all the daily quests.

The daily quest is a good source of EXP, gold, and diamonds. Make sure you complete each quest and grab the rewards after.

8. Do not buy ritual tokens.

It's tempting, I know, but you should never buy ritual tokens. The game awards you with enough free ritual tokens to do at least 10 summons every few days. Save your diamonds for domination betting. You can double your diamonds by betting.
