Tips & Roadmap

Beginner → Expert Progression Guide

"Build Power → Build Synergy → Build Counters → Build Strategy → Build a Winning Guild."

🟢

Level 1 — Beginner

Learn the basics and set yourself up for success

1. Join a Guild as Soon as Possible

Don't treat the Guild as optional. A Guild gives you:

  • Shared resources
  • Events
  • Progression assistance
  • Combat coordination
  • Territory and bonuses
  • Access to experienced players
An active Guild with average players is often better than a powerful Guild where nobody communicates.

2. Learn the 3 Energy Types

This is one of the most important combat mechanics:

EnergyCounters
⚡ Beam→ counters Kinetic
💥 Kinetic→ counters Ionic
🔮 Ionic→ counters Beam

Don't only ask: "Who has the higher Fleet Power?"

Also ask: "What type of damage does the enemy use, and what is my counter?"

A weaker fleet can sometimes win because of a favorable matchup.

3. Don't Invest All Resources into Every Champion

At the beginning, it's tempting to upgrade every new Champion. Don't.

Start identifying:

  • Damage dealers
  • Tanks
  • Support Champions
  • Buffers/debuffers
  • Champions that work well with your Flagship

The game places emphasis on Champion + Ship + Flagship synergy, not just individual power.

4. Champion Order Matters

Champion skills activate from left to right in the formation.

For example:

[Debuff] → [Buffer] → [DPS] can be much better than [DPS] → [Debuff] → [Buffer]

because you want buffs/debuffs to be active before your damage dealer attacks.

5. Explore the Map

Exploration isn't just about moving around. You can obtain:

  • Resources
  • Loot
  • Progression
  • Upgrade opportunities
  • Information about the map and territories
Don't waste Hyperspace Teleports unnecessarily. Use them strategically.

Level 2 — Intermediate

Start building synergy and making smarter decisions

6. Start Building Specialized Fleets

Don't try to make one fleet that is perfect against everything. Over time, you want to respond to different enemies:

  • Beam enemy → Ionic counter
  • Kinetic enemy → Beam counter
  • Ionic enemy → Kinetic counter

This becomes increasingly important in PvP and Guild warfare.

7. Don't Confuse Fleet Power with Actual Strength

Power ≠ automatic victory.

What matters is:

Energy Type + Champions + Formation + Skills + Flagship + Components + Matchup

A fleet with lower Power can still win if its composition and matchup are better.

8. Upgrade Your Flagship Components

Components increase your Flagship's core attributes such as ATK, DEF, and INT.

There are multiple ways to obtain Components.

Beginner mistake: ignoring Components and putting everything into Champions.

9. Understand Your Home Port

Your Home Port is more important than it may initially seem. Settling in a Planet Port can provide:

  • Settle-in Buff
  • Instant Fleet Recall
  • Redeployment options after defeat
  • Commissions that refresh within the system

Your Home Port can become a strategic decision, not just a location.

10. Don't Spend All Your Speedups Immediately

If you have a 3-hour Speedup, that doesn't mean you should immediately use it.

Start asking: "Can I use this Speedup during an event and get additional rewards?"

Advanced players treat Speedups as a strategic currency, not simply a shortcut.

🟠

Level 3 — Advanced

Play around events, save resources, and optimize everything

11. Play Around Events, Not Just Progression

This is where you see the difference between an active player and an efficient player.

Instead of: Upgrade → Upgrade → Upgrade

You start doing: Prepare → Wait for event → Spend → Collect rewards → Continue

12. Learn to Save Resources

Don't automatically spend Speedups, Credits, upgrade materials, Components, Vouchers, or other rare resources.

If you know an event is coming where those resources will matter, save them.

"I can spend this now." vs "Is it worth spending this now?" — Those are two completely different questions.

13. Optimize Skill Activation Order

Start testing exactly how your Champions perform in different positions:

Debuff → Defense Down → DPS can deal much more damage than DPS → Debuff → Defense Down

because the DPS attacks after the target has already been debuffed.

14. Build Around Synergy, Not Rarity

A rare Champion isn't automatically the best for every team.

The correct question is: "What does this Champion do for my team?"

not: "What rarity is this Champion?"

Advanced players build compositions, not collections.

15. Learn Port Warfare

This is where the real strategic side starts. Ports are extremely important for Guilds.

  • Planet Ports and Star Ports
  • Territory and declarations of war
  • Coordination between Guild members
  • Rewards and bonuses

Port Occupation becomes a major part of Guild strength.

Level 4 — Expert

Think strategically about every decision

16. Stop Playing Battle by Battle

An expert doesn't only think: "Can I win this battle?"

They think: "What do I gain by winning, and what do I lose by using my fleet here?"

Sometimes the best decision is not to attack.

17. Learn Matchups Deeply

Build a mental matrix:

EnemyCounter
⚡ Beam🔮 Ionic
💥 Kinetic⚡ Beam
🔮 Ionic💥 Kinetic

But an expert goes further:

Enemy Energy Type → Enemy Champions → Enemy Formation → Enemy Flagship → Enemy Components → Choose the counter

18. Learn to Read the Enemy's Formation

Look at the order of their Champions. If the enemy has:

Support → Buffer → DPS

You can try to disrupt or exploit their timing with your own formation.

At an expert level, skill order can be almost as important as raw statistics.

19. Build Your Flagship Around Your Team

Don't choose: "Flagship A because it has higher Power."

Think about: Flagship + Components + Champions + Energy Type as one complete system.

20. Learn Guild Economics

At endgame, the question is no longer: "How strong am I?"

It becomes: "How strong is our Guild?"

What matters includes:

  • Who attacks and who defends
  • When and where you attack
  • Who uses Teleports
  • Who holds territory
  • Who has fleets available
  • When to retreat

A player with an extremely powerful fleet can be less valuable than someone who knows how to coordinate 20 players.

Level 5 — Min-Max / F2P & Whale Expert

Specialize, track, and dominate

Rule #1: Don't Try to Be Good at Everything

Choose a main direction:

  • PvE specialist
  • PvP specialist
  • Guild warfare specialist
  • Economic/trader progression

Then build your investments around that direction.

Rule #2: Track Your Resources

Every day, ask yourself:

  • What resources do I have?
  • What resources will I receive?
  • What event is coming?
  • What upgrade should I make?
  • What can I save?
  • What can I convert into additional rewards?

That's the difference between a player who plays a lot and a player who progresses efficiently.

Rule #3: Use the Encyclopedia Galactica

The official game recommends using the Encyclopedia Galactica. Find it through:

Profile → Encyclopedia Galactica

It contains information about missions, Champions, fleets, Guilds, the map, events, and development.
