Beginner's Guide to Annelids Ring Recommendations for New Players

This issue brings a beginner's guide to the game, which attracts many new players with its unique supernatural open-world setting. However, as everyone is new, not only are they unfamiliar with the characters, but they also don't know exactly how to play. The following will introduce the gameplay mechanics, helping beginners navigate this mysterious world smoothly and embark on their own adventurous journey.

1. Character Selection

Characters are the foundation of combat. For beginners, besides the main character, Mint, Early Mist, and Adler are highly recommended. Mint wields dual blades, with extremely fast attack speed, and her skills can transform her into a tornado for continuous attacks, making her very suitable as the team's primary damage dealer. Early Mist is a character with summonable creatures; in battles, these summons can absorb enemies, providing key control. Adler can switch between melee and ranged attacks and create a shield for himself to help withstand damage.

2. Combat Mechanism

In terms of combat, you can form a team with 4 characters, primarily categorized as main DPS, secondary DPS, and support. As players continuously operate their characters to attack, hitting enemies will cause a value bar under the health bar to rise, known as the Collapse Value. This can be understood as an indicator of the target's vulnerability. Once it reaches full, the enemy will enter a paralyzed state, lying on the ground unable to move while also taking a significant amount of damage. Skillfully using this mechanism can turn the tide against powerful enemies. Additionally, attacks not only affect the Collapse Value but also have a Harmony Coefficient. Each attack helps accumulate this value, and when full, switching characters triggers more powerful attacks. Different characters can also trigger different effects, such as Overlays, which may provide additional damage or buffs. In practice, it's recommended to first switch to support to apply buffs, then switch to secondary and main DPS, waiting until the skills are off cooldown before switching again.

3. Character Development

Character development starts with leveling up, followed by upgrading equipment and skills. To obtain these materials, players can check the top right corner of the interface for something called Nature Pixels, which can be considered stamina. Consuming stamina allows you to challenge various dungeons, obtaining materials for character levels, gold, and weapon upgrades. The weekly dungeons in the game can be challenged three times per week. Additionally, besides leveling up, each character can equip a Disc, or weapon. When equipping, note that each character has different attributes, such as Nana being Emotional and the main character being Instinctive. Discs not only add basic attributes but also have special effects. For example, No-Head increases the normal attack damage by 20% after a Shift or Extreme attack for emotional attribute characters. Some Discs, besides affecting combat, also impact exploration in the open world, like the Eclipse, which, when equipped by the main character, directly changes the sky color.

4. City Gameplay

There are many city activities. First, there are Anomaly Commissions. By opening the large map, you can accept different commissions. Choose one of interest, click to track, and you'll see a red area on the map. Entering this area triggers an anomaly, essentially a side quest. When it starts, there will be prompts at the top of the screen, and completing them according to the instructions will earn rewards. Most tasks are simple, like the King of Fists, where you talk to an NPC and engage in a PK match, or the Motorcycle chase, where you drive a vehicle and pursue an NPC. Additionally, there's collection. While exploring the city, you may randomly encounter monsters. Defeating them grants chests. Some monsters, though not immediately visible, are in red areas, triggering upon entry. Lastly, there's shop management. Interacting with the intermediary company, you can purchase shops located in different parts of the city, priced based on foot traffic. After purchasing, you can stock items and continually earn gold.

The above is a beginner's guide to the game, which features unique character combat and rich explorable content. We hope that after understanding the gameplay, you can reasonably pair your characters, continuously enhance your combat power, and discover more unknown wonders in this fantastic world.
