What to do

 * Keep questing and saving up gems to use during good rates, I suggest having at least 3 rare summon units before starting to stockpile
 * Level farm in the vortex on Monday(especially half energy), this will be your fastest way of leveling
 * Do evolution dungeons and metal parade as needed to make you units stronger
 * Save burst frogs for 7 stars and 6 stars
 * use gems on unit space(I don't recommend doing item) as needed, don't overdo it

What not to do

 * Gem energy - you don't have that much energy yet so I recommend not doing this
 * Gem to revive - you are not at levels hard enough for using gems to revive to be worth it
 * DO NOT get 7 stars too early, you will regret it. You won't have enough cost and your team will suffer.
 * Don't level grind in normal quests, there is one normal quest we will discuss later but you have not gotten there yet.
 * Stocking up on evolution materials wastes space, only save Miracle Totems and Mecha Gods(7 star evolve material)

Grand Gaia Chronicles and Summoner's Research Lab

 * I recommend you do not do anything higher than 6 heroes Grand Gaia Chronicle at this stage of the game, even the level 3 of the 6 heroes are risky for you right now
 * I recommend you do not do higher than trial 2 at this stage of the game

Achievement Shop

 * Spend as needed, save for later game
 * Useful for fast evolution
 * I do not recommend buying single burst frogs, imps, and crystals/gods from achievement shop

Raid

 * If you can get people to carry you through raid, this would be very useful
 * Raging Blade Owen has a very useful lead and is a reward for completing Raid Class 5 Mission 9
