Quick Links
Black Beacon, a highly anticipated live-service action RPG, has finally been released, and it has received a lot of positive reception. As it is a gacha game, you would want to have some advice on what to do at the beginning, as the start matters a lot.
The most confusing part of such games is perhaps which five-star character to choose, if you choose the right one, your experience becomes way better. Here, we will tell you what to do at the beginning and what not to do so you can have a great start.
Get Your Free Pulls
As you start the game you will get a lot of free pulls. First of all, check your email. Claim everything, and you will have a lot of Rune Shards and, of course, Lost Time Keys. The latter will allow you to wish on the standard banner, whileyou can use the former to wish on the limited banner too.
you’re able to also get free pulls by playing the tutorial of each character. So, play the tutorial of each character you have, and you will get one Lost Time Key for each one you finish.You can also get 50 free pullsby leveling up to 55 along with 1500 Rune Shards.
So, given you also get a lot of rune shards, thetotal would be 60 free pulls. Also, make sure to claim the login reward every day as you can get some free pulls this way, too. Do not forget to check out the limited events as they also give free pulls.Seeking Traces of Timeis currently going on that gives you 5 Lost Time Keys and 5 Time Seeking Keys.
Level Up The Characters You Like
It is an unsaid rule in gacha games that you should only level up the characters that you like. You must not waste your resources on the characters you don’t like. You may have the urge to pull for a lot of characters and that’s fine. However,you cannot build every single character in the game as resources are limited.
With a lot of time, it may be possible, but for now, you should only upgrade the characters you like. Pick up a five-star character you like and upgrade them. The next step is to upgrade the other five or four-start characters your main DPS goes along with.Synergy is important, so upgrade your characters by keeping that in mind.
Farming materials is not an easy job; it takes time. More importantly, it gets repetitive and super annoying to the point that you may not want to even think about farming. That is why it is extremely important to pick up a few characters and build them as best as possible.
Which Five-Star Character To Choose
You will get a free five-star character at the start, but you will have to choose one among the five. This gets extremely confusing and is tricky because all of the characters have great looks and are pretty fun to play. However, at the start,you can only invite one.
You will get a lot of free pulls which you may use at the standard banner to do 30 pulls. After doing the said number of pulls, the game will allow you to choose one five-star character of your choice. The best characters among the five areEreshan, Logos, and Li Chi.
Among these three,the most complicated character to play is Li Chi, but it is also the most awarded one. We chose him, but if you don’t like to play characters that require a lot of practice, then Li Chi isn’t for you.
Ereshan is the best choice overall asshe is an on-field DPS and deals a lot of damage. She isn’t difficult to use either. Logos is a healer and can also debuff enemies, so if you want a great support character at the start, she is a good choice.
You should also use your Time Seeking Keys to pull Florenceas she is a pretty decent character. You may get lucky and pull her early.
If you want another five-star character from the standard banner, you’re able to continue wishing there. However, you are not guaranteed to get the exact character you want;for that, you would have to spend 300 keys on the banner.
You can also buy a dupe of the character you already own from the Time-Seeking Shop for 240 Imprints of Seeking Time. You can get these imprints by, of course, using the keys.
Upgrade The Main Character
The main characters in live-service RPGs are often ignored and that is the same case with this one. This is a universal thing, but they are often pretty good.You should upgrade to Zero as she has a lot of potential, and you can reach that potential pretty easily.
You can get her dupes after completing every chapter and, of course, her exclusive five-star weapon after completing chapter three. While you can give that weapon to another character you like,we recommend using it on Zero and upgrading her.
Do Not Spend Keys On Limited Banners Just For The Sake Of Building Pity
You may want to build pity on a certain limited banner as this happens when you play a gacha game; we would not recommend pulling on the banner at all if you don’t want the five-star character.you’re able to always get the four-star in other banners, so it is not worth spending your keys on.
There is another reason why you must not spend your keys just to build pity. You may get the five-star character before you reach the guaranteed pity;this will reset your pity, and it may cost you the next character you want to pull for.
So,it is always better to pull on the banners of five-star characters you like. If you have zero pity, then it may be worth spending ten keys as if you are lucky, you can get the five-star character without risking much.
The Gacha Is Favorable
In games like Genshin and Wuthering Waves, there is a 50/50 chance of you obtaining the character of your choice. So,if you don’t get your desired character, it gets frustrating. However, that isn’t the case in this game. In short, there is no 50/50.
Another great thing is that you’re able to get the guaranteed character of the banner in just 70 pulls. Also, if you spend the keys on the limited weapon banner, you won’t have to spend 70;with 50 pulls you are sure to get the weapon. This makes the gacha superb and favorable.
Obtain Free Five-Star Weapons
You can get a free five-star weapon from the standard bannerof your choice by participating in the Vulcan’s Grace event. This means that you can get a weapon for the five-star character you got from the standard banner.
Clearing main story 4-19 is one of the tasks in the Vulcan’s Grace event, so you will automatically get Zero’s five-star weapon, too, as soon as you complete the third chapter.
Adjust The Screen According To Your Taste
As you may already know you play this game in 3d. you may adjust the screen according to your preference. If you don’t prefer to watch the character from above,you can move the camera behind you to play it in the third-person mode; that is pretty helpful.
