START HERE / FIRST SESSION

Your first session,
with a little direction.

Follow the opening Adventure tasks, claim reported code rewards, and give your team protection, damage and recovery. When progress stops, first read the requirement: Pilot level, Phantom EXP and a breakthrough are separate problems.[1][2]

Get a stable starting point.

  1. Confirm your game and account. Match HOWLYO GAME’s official listing and note the server and sign-in method.[1]
  2. Follow the current Adventure task. Use the requirement actually visible in the game to choose the next action, rather than opening every late-game menu.
  3. Collect reported rewards before deciding what to buy. Profile → Gift Code is the reported redemption route. The code finder shows reward types and source limits.
  4. Read the units you have. Look for the role or skill your squad lacks before replacing a unit simply because another has a higher rarity.

A useful starting point is a recognizable account, a functional team and a specific next task. It does not require restarting until you pull one particular rare character.

Build functions before chasing a rank.

The client help describes Preservation for protection, Destruction for area damage, Frenzied Blade for burst damage and Healing Grace for recovery.[2] Use those functions to diagnose the squad, rather than reading them as a universal tier list.

What happensWhat to inspect first
The front line falls quicklyProtection, positioning and the skill intended to keep that position alive.
The team survives but cannot finish the targetDamage role, target selection and whether the chosen skills support the same plan.
Units collapse in longer fightsRecovery and whether it takes effect before the team is overwhelmed.
A new rare unit looks weakerIts present level, unlocked skills and investment; a future ceiling is not immediate performance.

Change one thing at a time and retry the same task. That helps separate a formation problem from a shortage of materials. These are diagnostic choices, not measured damage rankings.

Give each upgrade a purpose.

The help connects skill unlocking with breakthroughs.[2] Open the character you are actually using, read the next upgrade requirement, and decide whether it answers the problem you just observed.

If a unit is missing a breakthrough material, pulling a replacement does not establish that the shortage has been solved. If Adventure asks for a higher Pilot level, spending character EXP answers a different screen. Use the EXP and level-gate table before choosing a farming action.

The official description includes offline growth.[1] Returning later can be part of progression, but this guide does not promise an hourly rate, storage cap or time to clear a chapter.

When a menu is locked.

The community condition table separates player level and server day. It lists Phantom Spirit Rank with both Player Lv. 24 and Server Day 2.[3] A level target alone would not satisfy that reported condition.

Check the exact menu name. A feature lock, character breakthrough and Pilot-level requirement are separate decisions. If a screen names a day condition, more character EXP does not address that condition.

A useful place to stop.

  • You know your account and server.
  • Your team has an intended answer to incoming damage and a way to deal damage back.
  • You can name the requirement blocking the next task.
  • You have picked one next action: adjust formation, collect the correct resource, or wait for a stated condition.

When you return, compare the same requirement before changing the plan. That is easier to learn from than changing your entire squad and upgrade spending at once.
