Common Beginner Mistakes

❌ Don't Do This:

1. Rushing for S-tier contracts

   • Too expensive early
   • Side effects hurt beginners
   • Learn with A-tier first

2. Ignoring stats

   • Balanced stats are weak
   • Specialize in 1-2 stats
   • Respec costs a lot

3. Soloing raids too early

   • You will die
   • Find a team
   • Learn mechanics first

4. Wasting Yen on cosmetics

   • Save for contracts
   • Cosmetics don't help
   • Get them later

5. Not joining a clan

   • Clans give bonuses
   • Find helpful players
   • Faster progression

✅ Do This Instead:

1. Save your Yen

   • 50,000 for Ghost Devil
   • 75,000 for Mantis Devil
   • Don't impulse buy

2. Learn one weapon type

   • Master its combos
   • Understand its range
   • Practice parrying

3. Talk to all NPCs

   • Hidden quests
   • Useful items
   • Lore and tips

4. Practice in safe areas

   • The Park for PvE
   • Training grounds for PvP
   • Don't lose Yen to death
