đ Resin Efficiency
AR 1-45: Spend resin on world bosses (character ascension) and talent domains. Do NOT farm artifacts.
AR 45+: Guaranteed 5â artifact drops unlock. Farm Emblem of Severed Fate domain first â it benefits the most characters.
â ī¸ Warning: Fragile Resin is limited. Save all fragile resin until AR 45 for artifact farming.
đ Wish Strategy (F2P)
Never spend Primogems on the Standard Banner (blue wishes). Only use intertwined fates on limited character banners. Rule of 180: Save 180 wishes (28,800 Primogems) to guarantee a featured 5-star character even if you lose the 50/50.
â ī¸ Common Mistakes
Mistake 1: Spending fragile resin before AR 45.
Mistake 2: Leveling too many characters. Focus on 4-6.
Mistake 3: Using Primogems on standard banner.
