Every newly minted commander in the Era of Stars aspires to make a name for themselves, yet the journey through alien territories is far from smooth. The challenges and unknowns are enough to inspire awe in anyone. To help commanders embark on this interstellar adventure with more confidence, mastering the tips shared in the Era of Stars beginner's guide will enable you to quickly adapt to the ever-changing interstellar battlefield environment.
Firstly, alliances, as one of the core gameplay elements, are very important. You can start by focusing on advancing the main storyline. Once you complete the fourth chapter of the main quest, immediately seek out and join a powerful and highly active alliance. A good alliance can provide significant attribute bonuses. In terms of hero development, the game offers great flexibility. Before heroes reach level 40, you can reset their experience points without any resource cost.

This means that before you draw your desired core cards, you can confidently level up your heroes, completing tasks swiftly while accumulating game resources. When you finally get the golden-quality hero you've been dreaming of, you can cleverly use the reset function to redistribute the previous hero's experience to the new core card, thus maximizing resource utilization. If you're unsure about how to pair golden-quality heroes, don't hesitate; simply click the help button at the bottom left of the lineup to post a request for assistance in the game's hero pairing channel.

The daily faction bounty missions are also an essential part not to be missed. As your faction level gradually increases, these bounty missions will bring you a large amount of hero experience and various precious resources. Each successful completion of a bounty mission will consume one intelligence point, and you can stockpile up to sixty intelligence points. Base construction, as another core gameplay element, must be paid attention to. Upgrading building levels mainly relies on two key resources: Void Stones and Dark Essence, obtained through mining. Therefore, planning resource collection routes reasonably to improve collection efficiency is the key to accelerating base construction.

As the levels of various buildings within the base increase, you will unlock new troop types, new gameplay, new features, and numerous bonuses. For new players, it is crucial to focus on upgrading the base level, as it directly affects overall combat power. Mining, as the primary method to obtain Void Stones and Dark Essence, is recommended to defeat the guard troops at the mining point before collecting. It's worth noting that the higher the level of the mining point, the richer the resources, but the strength of the guard troops will also be greater. Therefore, in the early stages, try to challenge higher-level mining points to gain more resources. Once you successfully occupy the guard troops of that level, subsequent collections will no longer require combat.

In the early stages, it is not advisable to excessively consume resources to upgrade a single skill. Instead, focus on improving the skill levels of a main team. At the same time, you can also moderately and evenly upgrade the skills of other teams. Successfully defeating the Imperial Army will bring substantial rewards to your troops. Clearing daily points becomes an indispensable task. Note that, similar to mining, attacking the Imperial Army also consumes special points, but unlike mining, you can team up with other players to challenge together.

In the game, the location of your base is not fixed. As the game progresses, you may need to relocate based on the strategic layout of your alliance or personal development needs. Simply click on your base and select the move button below to transform your base into a movable spaceship. Of course, if you need to move urgently, you can also click the shield button at the top of the game screen and use the spaceship relocation item to instantly complete the move.

In the game, when your troops need to march long distances, as long as the destination meets specific conditions, the system will automatically trigger the transport aircraft to quickly move your troops there. During the process of occupying territory, you will face the challenges of outposts and hubs. Outposts are usually guarded by monster troops, which can be easily overcome with conventional tactics. Hubs, however, are slightly more challenging due to their counter-damage mechanism. If your troops' combat power falls below the system-set threshold, they will suffer up to ten times the counter-damage. Therefore, before launching an attack, be sure to carefully check your troop configuration and combat power.

That concludes the Era of Stars beginner's guide. Most importantly, during battles, if you find your firepower insufficient, don't forget to switch to the healing aircraft form, which can provide timely support and healing.
