Magic Era Strategy Guide: How to Play for Beginners

This guide is about the Age of Magic. In this world full of wonders and magic, players can summon various powerful heroes, form teams to face all kinds of strong enemies and dungeons, and write their own magical legends. However, newcomers may encounter various problems that affect their progress. Therefore, the following guide will explain how to start efficiently from different aspects such as team selection and resource management, helping newcomers get started faster.

I. Character Team Selection

For beginners, it's recommended to prioritize choosing the Wild Javelin Thrower to start with, select the Crimson set for runes to enhance lifesteal, and later pair it with the Woof Pack to form the Gray Wolf bond. Add the top-tier assassin Blazing Shadow, using the Javelin Thrower's area damage to quickly clear stages, and let Blazing Shadow rely on its agile dodging and high-frequency skill activation for speed runs. In the mid to late game, you might want to look at the limited-time pool, with Blackwing being highly recommended. Blackwing is a large character with high base stats, simple yet powerful skills, and is beginner-friendly. For talents, it's suggested to focus on dodge and lifesteal to ensure survival, and add a control resistance to avoid being immobilized in battle; Choose the Cloudy set for runes to directly increase damage, and select the Blue Crossbow for equipment to increase range, which is very important for Blackwing. Additionally, it's recommended to pair him with Tum, as large characters are also prone to dying in the later stages, so a support is needed to ensure survival. Tum's skills are very suitable, as he can take damage for teammates and heal, effectively ensuring Blackwing's survival. It's suggested to give him talents like Luck, Robust, and Unyielding, choose Life for the fourth rune slot to enhance luck, and select Scout or Silver Spirit for equipment to increase survivability.

II. Purple Thorn Planning

In the game, talents can be extracted by using Purple Thorns of different qualities. Remember to keep one N, R, SR, and SSR talent crystal each, as more Purple Thorns can be obtained through implanting and then withdrawing talents. After obtaining Purple Thorns, don't immediately synthesize them. At the beginning, you generally won't have any red-talent heroes, and after synthesis, only red talents can be extracted, which cannot be decomposed. It's suggested to extract more low-level talents first, then synthesize higher-level ones in the Alchemy, and implant them into heroes. With limited resources in the early stage, at least ensure your main force has 3 red and 3 gold talents.

III. Diamond Usage

Newcomers should not spend diamonds recklessly. It's suggested to use them for gacha and scrolls, while other items can be bought with gold. In the early stage, any SR quality hero that costs gold can be acquired without hesitation. Diamonds should mainly be used to obtain SSRs. The store is recommended to refresh up to 200, which will provide enough resources for the early stage.

IV. Dungeons

Dungeons include mines, snow mountains, and the World Tree. The snow mountain must be done daily, but there is a robot level that might be more challenging. It starts with a full-screen attack. It's recommended to bring two Giants with the Unyielding or Resolute talent, but do not put both talents on the same character. Successfully passing through yields rich rewards. The World Tree requires three different teams, two of Giants and one of Blazing Shadows. It's suggested to start nurturing Blazing Shadow after reaching the Eye of the Rainforest. Finally, the mine is the primary source of colorful stones. If you lack this resource, go and farm it.

V. Arcane Codex

After completing Chapter 5 of Par's Journey, a new book, the Arcane Codex, will appear. When setting out here, it's suggested to use the Warrior and Assassin bond in the early stage, increasing population to boost combat power, and try to form as many bonds as possible. If you can get 4 Alchemist race items early on, use 4 Alchemists, as the healing effect is very useful. For supports, you can choose Cat, and for other lifesteal buffs, choose Unyielding, Attack Speed, and Cloudy. Passing through successfully yields a lot of rewards. Additionally, the Arcane Codex has a hidden reward that many newcomers may not know. Click on the red area in the image below, enter the page, and click the switch honor award in the upper right corner to get cumulative victory rewards, which are essential for early equipment.

The above is the guide for the Age of Magic. The article above shares useful lineups and heroes for the early stage, explains the usage of resources, and provides methods to pass some special difficult levels. After understanding these, you will surely be able to happily adventure and grow stronger in this magical world.
