For players who are new to SLG, getting started with Epoch of Stars isn't particularly difficult, but for newcomers, how to form a team and what to pay attention to when pioneering can still be quite confusing. So in this issue, we will bring you the strategy pairing guide for Epoch of Stars, sharing two lineups that are very suitable for pioneering, and also discussing some points to note during pioneering. Interested players, come and learn more!
Rapid Fire Team Pioneering:
The Rapid Fire Team is currently the most efficient main team for pioneering, not only because it has relatively low formation costs, but also because through the high-frequency trigger mechanism of skills, it can quickly clear resource points and open 25-level mine points without any pressure.
Recommended Pairing One: Mulan + Andromeda
For the former: Blazing Musket (core, provides 5 seconds of control immunity + fearless state + high trigger rate + 10% durability recovery), Lethal Reload (increases rapid fire output), Entropy Rapid Fire (increases trigger frequency and damage)
For the latter: Nebula Spear (increases rapid fire probability), Rapid Fire (increases control probability), Magnetic Rail Rapid Fire (stable output, with control)
This combination centers on Mulan's high stability as the core output, with Andromeda providing control and damage enhancement. Andromeda is easier to level up in the early stages, reaching three stars can provide an additional 80% rapid fire damage coefficient, making it a very ideal partner.
Recommended Pairing Two: Harper + Mulan
Harper skill pairing: Extreme Annihilation (high burst rapid fire), Lethal Reload, Magnetic Rail Rapid Fire
With Harper providing control and rhythm disruption, it is more suitable for mid-to-late game rhythm pulling, and can also perfectly link with the Mulan rapid fire system.
Troop Recommendation: Hound Warrior
Rapid fire heroes are usually compatible with small troop types. Hound Warriors are flexible and frequently output, fitting extremely well with the rapid fire mechanism, and are suitable for charging and clearing monsters.
For first-time rechargers, they can pair Andromeda + Noa as a transition to increase speed. For those who spend moderately on battle passes, they can try Andromeda + Heng'e to further increase output and control. A combination of first recharge and battle pass for rapid fire can basically open 25-level mine points, making it the most cost-effective solution in the pioneering stage.
Counterattack Team Pioneering:
The Counterattack Team also has its place in the pioneering stage, especially excelling against enemies with high-frequency attacks, with strong counterattack capabilities and high fault tolerance.
Recommended Pairing One: Sibyl + Harlin
Sibyl skill pairing: Defensive Strike (control immunity + high evasion + durability recovery, can withstand and counterattack), Titanium Armor (enhances physical resistance), Adaptive Shield (reduces all attribute damage)
Harlin skill pairing: Lethal Perception (increases evasion and reduces enemy healing), Thermal Inhibition (reduces enemy output), Magnetic Field Disturbance (provides stable control)
Sibyl is the core tank, able to withstand a large amount of output and counterattack to recover health. Harlin serves as a functional support, balancing interference and buffs, so that the team can both stand firm and fight steadily.
Recommended Pairing Two: Harlin + Barbara
Barbara skill pairing: Hunting Instinct (enhances counterattack), Induced Storm (stacks damage), Magnetic Field Disturbance (control supplement)
Suitable for players with limited resources, offering both output and control, it is a practical alternative option for the pioneering stage.
Troop Recommendation: Hurricane Armor
A medium-sized troop, combining high durability and counterattack potential, highly compatible with the counterattack team mechanism.
Pioneering Tips
Troop selection should match the skill type
Hero skills determine the direction of troop pairing. Reasonable troop selection can not only maximize the effect of skills but also counter enemy troops.
Rapid Fire Skills: Pair with Hound Warriors, Stealth Assault Troopers
Basic Attack Skills: Pair with Yaoguang Mothership, Solar Battlefield, Stealth Assault Troopers
Counterattack Skills: Pair with Hurricane Armor, Yaoguang Mothership, Solar Battlefield
Rebound Damage Skills: Pair with Xuanwu Titan, Chongming Fighter Jets
Tactical/Active Skills: Troop influence is minor, decide based on the situation
Mining Point Selection Tips
Mining point guards use specific troop types, and the system has a troop type克制关系：大型克制中型，中型克制小型，小型克制大型。进攻时尽量选择己方克制敌方兵种的矿点。若遇到克制情况可多点击几次刷新守军，或者等待守军轮换。组建互不克制的中立阵容也是可行的策略。
兵种升级优先级高
兵种升级带来的属性提升非常显著，尤其在后期战力差距会被逐渐拉大。建议优先升级主力队的兵种，比如使用速射木兰队开荒的玩家，应优先强化小型兵种模组。模组获取渠道包括：星球探索、枢纽占领、天梯挑战、通行证与星际宝藏等活动。氪金大佬每日30元礼包可获得1个T3模组（一星），积累性强；普通玩家积极参与联盟战，跟随联盟打城，每日扫荡星球探索获取模组。
装备强化
虽然前期强化材料有限，但装备带来的战力提升不容忽视。建议优先强化主力开荒队装备，如速射主C木兰的武器、护甲等优先打造高强化，保障前期稳定推进。
以上就是群星纪元策略搭配攻略的主要内容，开荒期是资源最紧张、节奏最关键的阶段。合理搭配速射或还击主力队伍，选对兵种、精细强化装备与模组，就能在前期迅速打开资源获取渠道，为中后期打下坚实基础。不官是微氪玩家还是重氪大佬，都可以参考上面文章中所讲的。

Mining Point Selection Tips
Mining point guards use specific troop types, and the system has a troop type counter rule: large units counter medium units, medium units counter small units, and small units counter large units. When attacking, try to choose mining points where your troops counter the enemy's. If you encounter a counter situation, you can refresh the guards by clicking multiple times or wait for the guard rotation. Forming a neutral lineup that does not have a counter relationship is also a viable strategy.
Troop Upgrade Priority
Troop upgrades significantly boost attributes, especially in the later stages where the power gap can widen. It is recommended to prioritize upgrading the troops of your main team. For example, if you are using the Rapid Fire Mulan team for pioneering, you should prioritize enhancing the small troop modules. Module acquisition channels include: planet exploration, hub occupation, ladder challenges, battle passes, and interstellar treasure activities. Big spenders can get one T3 module (one star) daily from a 30 yuan package, which is highly accumulative; ordinary players should actively participate in alliance battles, follow the alliance to capture cities, and sweep through planet explorations daily to obtain modules.
Equipment Enhancement
Although the materials for enhancement are limited in the early stages, the combat power boost from equipment cannot be ignored. It is recommended to prioritize enhancing the equipment of your main pioneering team. For example, prioritize high-level enhancements for the weapons and armor of the main Rapid Fire hero Mulan to ensure stable progress in the early stages.
The above is the main content of the strategy pairing guide for Epoch of Stars. The pioneering phase is the most resource-tight and crucial stage. By reasonably pairing Rapid Fire or Counterattack main teams, choosing the right troops, and carefully enhancing equipment and modules, you can quickly open up resource acquisition channels in the early stages, laying a solid foundation for the mid and late game. Whether you are a light spender or a big spender, you can refer to the strategies mentioned in the article above.
