Reading order
First session, then summons and pairs, then the skill tree, traits, and crafting. Shadow Monarch evolution is its own route after Story is stable.
Which Anime Zero [SHADOW MONARCH] π¦π guides are published?
First Story session
Redeem codes, fill both weapon slots, buy the first Attack node, and finish one Story run.
Summons and pity
Read the October 9 banner percents, and keep the October 2 pity counters as same-week history.
Weapon pairs
Use the October 2 named pairs or the later kit-name pairs, and do not invent a rename between them.
Skill tree
Buy Attack first. The October 9 tree ends at +60% attack damage and +15% critical chance.
Traits and rerolls
Reroll at Matilda, keep Deadeye or Supernova for combat, and use Fortune when you are farming.
Difficulties and Story payouts
Compare Easy through Nightmare health and the Story money and gem payouts.
Story, Defend, Infinite, and raids
Pick Story to learn, Infinite to push waves, and Shadow Gate when you are farming the monarch weapon.
Evolution and Shadow Monarch
Evolve once for a normal ultimate. Shadow Monarch has three reported stages and a Shadow Gate material list.
Craft accessories
Craft at Yugi, fill the four reported slots, and stop stacking crit or cooldown past the caps.
AFK chamber rates
Park in the chamber for the October 2 coin, gem, and Lucky Spin rates, and recheck the live UI.
What to upgrade next
Move from a first clear to one accessory, one evolution, and only then the Shadow Gate.
