Step 3 of 6
Champion growth, promotion, and lineup basics
Treat level, promotion, and skills as separate spends. Match energy types; check space vs ground.
Treat level, promotion, and skills as separate wallets. Match energy types to the stage. Always check space vs ground before you blame RNG.
Three spends, three budgets
| Spend | What it buys | Rule of thumb |
|---|---|---|
| Level | Raw stats | Main squad first; alts stay cheap |
| Promotion | Stat breakpoints + slots | Do not hoard forever — unlock the next breakpoint |
| Skills / modules | Fight identity | One core skill tree before spreading |
Lineup hygiene
- Name a main 4–5. Everything else is bench until week two.
- Keep energy coverage: do not run five of the same type into a hard counter.
- One tank / one carry / flex — exact labels depend on your roster, but roles beat vanity.
Space vs ground
Some stages punish the wrong battlefield. If power looks fine and you still wipe, swap the formation type before you spend rare mats.
