New players joining Etheria: Restart during the 1st Anniversary event should skip the account reroll process. Instead, claim the free event login and milestone rewards immediately to assemble a core Animus team and push straight into Main Quest PvE progression.

Why to Skip Account Rerolling

The 1st Anniversary reward campaign provides enough starting currency and character acquisition paths to establish a functional, competitive roster without manual account resets. Rerolling consumes hours in initial tutorials for a single top-tier unit, whereas the anniversary payouts grant immediate access to essential Animus units and upgrade materials. Skipping the reset loop lets you start account level progression right away, unlocking higher-level modes like the Threshold and Investigations much faster.

Building and Upgrading Your Starting Squad

Once you claim your initial milestone and login rewards, invest your upgrade materials into a focused core team rather than spreading resources across every unlocked unit. Combat relies on combining Animus abilities and executing real-time tactical commands.

Use these investment priorities for early roster development:

  • Focus on DPS and Sustain: Funnel early upgrade items into your primary damage dealer and healer/support first so your squad survives difficulty spikes.
  • Prioritize Ability Synergy: Match Animus units based on complementary skill traits and elemental overlap rather than raw base rarity.
  • Master Manual Commands: Use real-time combat commands manually during tough encounters. Timing your skills effectively often overcomes stat deficits in early PvE content.

Avoid spending early resources on Arena PvP battles until your PvE foundation is established. The gear and ascension materials required for long-term power come from PvE modes.

Follow this stage progression path:

  1. Main Quest: Clear story chapters to unlock core account features and gain account experience.
  2. GP Outposts: Farm these nodes for upgrade materials whenever your squad hits a level cap or stat wall in the Main Quest.
  3. Investigations and Threshold: Revisit Main Quest bosses in these modes to acquire advanced character materials.
  4. Ember Ruins: Use these high-difficulty stages to test team synergy and refine your manual skill timing before committing to heavy PvP competition.

Currency Management Strategy

Treat your starter anniversary currency as a stabilization tool for your roster. If the event features selector items or guaranteed utility bundles, prioritize options that fill gaps in your team's role coverage over spending all currency on raw banner recruitment pulls. Save leftover pull currency for future banners once your main PvE team reliably clears daily Outposts and story content.
