To start strong in Echocalypse: Scarlet Covenant, claim your free daily ten-draw recruitment from the event interface, save your premium Iridim currency for dedicated rate-up banners, and invest all early character resources into a single six-member squad. Pushing the main Expedition campaign as far as possible unlocks combat automation features, including 2x battle speed and stage skips, which accelerate account growth.
How to Claim Daily Summons and Manage Banners
The daily 10x draw bonus is an event incentive tied to active participation rather than an automated mailbox drop. To collect these pulls:
- Log in after the daily server reset.
- Open the dedicated event recruitment tab directly from the main menu.
- Claim your recruitment tickets and execute your daily pulls before the reset timer expires, as uncollected free pulls do not roll over.
Use your free daily pulls to flesh out your general Case roster and gather duplicate shards. Do not spend premium Iridim on standard banners. Save your Iridim exclusively for limited-time rate-up banners featuring high-priority carry units or dedicated utility supports. When you pull duplicate units, allocate their shards directly into your primary carries to unlock passive skill nodes early.
Grid Positioning and Rage Management
Battles in Echocalypse: Scarlet Covenant use a two-row, six-slot grid. Turn order and target priority run from front to back, meaning front-row units take the brunt of normal enemy attacks. Because receiving damage charges a character's Rage gauge alongside standard attacks, placing high-durability units in the front row allows them to generate Rage quickly and deploy defensive barriers or crowd control before fragile teammates take damage.
| Formation Slot | Recommended Role | Main Function | Key Stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front Row (Slots 1–3) | Tank, Bruiser, Crowd Control | Absorb incoming attacks and generate fast Rage | HP, Armor, Block |
| Back Row (Slots 4–6) | Single-Target DPS, AoE Mage, Healer | Safe skill rotation, burst damage, and healing | Attack, Crit, Penetration |
Keep fragile burst damage dealers, area-of-effect (AoE) mages, and healers in slots 4 through 6. Placing them in forward slots exposes them to early boss strikes and risks full team wipes.
Deploying Neolith Relics in Combat
Neolith support skills operate independently of character turns. These tactical relics have separate cooldowns and energy costs, delivering direct damage, stripping enemy shields, or healing low-health allies.
While auto-battle can manage routine clearing, switch Neolith skills to manual control on difficult campaign roadblocks. Automated systems often trigger powerful Neolith strikes just before a new elite wave appears or while an enemy is near death. Saving your Neolith skill allows you to interrupt a boss entering a charge state or immediately neutralize an elite enemy before backline units take area damage.
Campaign Progression and Resource Allocation
Early progression requires pushing the main Expedition story to raise your Awaker account level. Early battles must be played at standard speed, but clearing initial campaign chapters unlocks 2x speed and stage-skipping options.
To maintain steady progress through early combat power checks:
- Focus on six units: Invest all upgrade items, experience materials, and gear augmentations exclusively into your main six-member lineup.
- Avoid bench leveling: Do not divide upgrade resources among reserve units until your primary team comfortably handles current campaign requirements.
- Spend early stamina on story: Dedicate your stamina primarily to main Expedition stages until all automated progression tools are unlocked.

Nice guide. I am checking the other Echocalypse: Scarlet Covenant articles next.
Can you add more details about early game in a future update?
This helped me understand early game much better.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
