Elpisoul Global Server Beginner's Guide

Dear players, with the Elpisoul global server set to open on November 30th, we understand many newcomers might feel unsure about early-game planning. Today, LDshop brings you a detailed beginner's guide to help you build a solid foundation and smoothly navigate the initial stages!

 

Must-Build Characters for Early Game

Choosing the right characters to invest in is crucial during the early stages. Here are some essential characters that remain valuable from early to late game:

➤Tank Roles

·Jessica:

Must-build character.

Possesses a unique petrify control ability, the best team-wide sustain tank. Provides healing, defensive buffs, and Attack amplification for the squad—critical for sustain and balanced lineups.

Recommended equipment: Pathfinder's Bloom set, which synergizes best with her skills.

·Falcon:

Ultimate skill can stun enemies in front, creating valuable damage windows during story pushes.

Recommended equipment: Courageous Star shield set, significantly enhancing survivability and making her exceptionally durable in early stages.

 

➤Damage Roles

·Freya:

The best all-round DPS in Elpis. Her Time-Stop mechanic and rapid-fire attacks dominate both PvE and PvP. She scales fast even with moderate gear and fits into any burst or balanced team.

Recommended equipment: Attack Speed set.

If you have Freya, there's no need to invest in Kuki, and Kuki's equipment can be seamlessly transferred to Freya later.

·Ivorywing:

Primary Spellweaver choice. A unique hybrid unit with self-revive and healing aura. Offers sustain and AoE support while still dealing strong elemental damage, making her invaluable in long fights and tower stages. Given for free via login events in the CN server; if unavailable in global, prioritize selecting her in the starter selector.

Recommended equipment: Radiant Bloom ultimate set.

If Ivorywing is unavailable, build The Absolver as a temporary replacement—her bounce attack mechanic is highly effective for story progression and she's easier to maximize.

·GhostQueen:

Essential damage dealer. Excellent performance in both Arena and story stages.

Recommended to place in position 1 to unleash her ultimate first. Equip with Radiant Bloom ultimate set to maximize damage output.

·Kuki:

Serves as Freya's alternative. Consider building if you lack Freya and need more team damage.

Also recommended: Attack Speed set.

·Delis:

High-burst crit-based archer. Her leader skill boosts team CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG, making her valuable for both clearing stages and single-target boss fights. Every fourth normal attack triggers a stun, providing additional control.

Recommended equipment: Attack Speed set.

 

➤Support Roles

·Saico:

1. star healer, easily obtained through gacha. Acts as both tank and healer through passive recovery and defense buffs..
2. Recommended equipment: Revival Bloom healing set.

Extremely valuable for players without Jessica or Arlen.

Team Composition and Positioning Tips

·Basic Early Setup: Typically, 1 Tank + 1 Healer + 1 Archer + 1 Mage is sufficient. Add a second Tank or Support for harder stages.

·Recommended Formation: Position 1: Ivorywing, Position 2: Falcon, Position 3: Freya. This provides two tank roles, ensuring team survivability.

·Positioning Key: Tanks must be positioned against enemy Voidblades; otherwise, enemies can break through and threaten your backline—especially critical in high-difficulty stages.

Hidden Realm Exploration: Top Resource Source

The "Hidden Realm Exploration" mode is the most efficient way for free players to gather resources, equivalent to a simulated universe system. With four layers of rich content and substantial resource rewards, it's strongly recommended to prioritize.

 

Resource Management and Daily Tasks

➤Resource Planning Advice

·Opal (Gacha Currency): Save for limited banners. The large amount of Opal obtained early is a one-time resource; acquisition slows significantly after the initial phase.

·Crystals: Not recommended for gacha; exchanging for skins is more valuable and enhances long-term gameplay experience.

·Stamina Management: Purchase stamina moderately daily; avoid excessive spending.

➤Essential Daily Tasks

·Main Story Progression: Push the main story until stuck, then strengthen characters to avoid resource waste.

·Endless Abyss: Provides stable resource income starting from floor 21; complete daily.

·Arena: Aim for higher rankings; lower tiers mostly feature AI opponents, making it easier to farm points.

·Abyss Exploration & Hidden Realm : Participate manually when time allows; use sweep function when busy.

·Engraving System: Collect resources regularly; recommend buying all Engravings from the shop.

 

Development Order and Considerations

Priority Order: Character Level → Skill Level → Badges.

Since the game lacks a character reset function, development decisions have long-term impacts—allocate resources carefully.

Badges: Recommend farming intensively after unlocking the highest difficulty; obtain gradually from event shops in early game.

 

Guild War Preparation

Guild Wars are important; keep these points in mind:

·Collect resources before starting to upgrade tactical skills

·Consider elemental advantages when team building

·Ensure battle characters equip badges—significantly affects damage

·Retry if unsatisfied—no penalty before settlement

 

Spending Recommendations

·Light Spenders: Monthly and weekly cards offer best value

·Regular Players: Battle Pass and certificates based on skin preference

·Other Packs: Generally not recommended due to lower value

 

Conclusion

In summary, by focusing on core character development, properly equipping your team, prioritizing key content like Hidden Realm Exploration, and managing resources for the long term, both new and experienced players can successfully navigate Elpisoul's early game. This foundation will support your progression into later stages. We hope this guide helps all global server players get off to a great start!
