Choose a carry, matching support and farm
Prioritize Elyssia (Abyssal) with Zombie (Risen) for a summon team, Snow Reaper (Final) for damage and control, and Bulby or C.E.O. for income. Keep Honey or another hill-placed attacker for Soaring, especially in Sky Portals.

Flying and Soaring need different coverage
Update 21 allows all attacks to damage ordinary Flying enemies, but attacks without proper air capability deal reduced damage and cannot apply their usual stun or slow. Soaring requires units standing on hills. Hybrids also need hill placement, so Flying capability alone does not solve the problem.

| Spider Emulation | Hybrid area damage with burn. | |
| Toad Sage | Provides slowing immediately on placement. | Banner summons; Legend Stages and star fruits for evolution.Playing this video connects to YouTube. |

Treat event origins as historical acquisition routes. Build your immediate progression around units you already own or can obtain, rather than making an old event unit a requirement.
Build around the mode you play
- For Story, keep Honey, add C.E.O. or Bulby, and use Commander or Wenda beside your strongest carry. Gather Gems and evolution materials before replacing the whole lineup.
Starter and returning-player decisions
- How do I progress with Honey, Idol and weak Mythics?
- Keep Honey for hill coverage and add C.E.O. or Bulby for income, then Commander or Wenda for buffs. Clear Story and daily Challenges for Gems and evolution materials. Save toward a stronger featured carry while improving the team around Honey.
- Which upgrades should I prioritize after a long break?
- Prioritize Elyssia and her evolution, then Zombie as her summon-support partner. Check the rotating Captain (God) Artifact stage while it is available. Keep your next investment focused on the role your preferred mode still needs.
