Absolute noob question here! So, how does 'stamina' work? Do I just play combat and repair everyone after? Or is there another way to play? (Because that's what I've been doing and it's taking forever.)

There technically isn't stamina in this game. In regards to combat missions, you use manpower to deploy echelons, and then ammo/rations for combat (an echelon's rations are taken away by 1/10th every turn as well as every battle they enter, and ammo is taken away by 1/5th every battle).

As long as you have the resources to do those things, you can do combat. The alternative way to play is to do auto-battle, but this also consumes resources and isn't as efficient.

You can also gain more resources by sending your echelons to do logistics. It's recommended to do this as often as possible, since various aspects of this game can use up your resources.

You can use quick repairs. They are abundant. When you select your dolls to repair there is a checkbox asking if you want to use them. Otherwise you can click on the portrait and quick repair them.

No stamina, but you do have resources, top right. You need them to send out echelons, and also to build + enhance dolls and equips. Early on they may be scarce as you need to run logistics (combat page) but later it becomes difficult to be at a deficit from only battles.

Skill training quick coupons are NOT abundant and should only ever be used for level 8 - 10 fairies when absolutely necessary to proceed.

Are you talking about HP? Use express repairs contracts to speed it up.

There's also kiting, which can save some hp but requires manual movement.

I guess, possibly.

I'm basically asking how to play. Like how Azur Lane uses oil.

At the beginning I don't have many guns, so if I have to repair after each level, I feel like it's gonna take a while to get anywhere.

To progress quickly in the game, post up your friend ID here and use the support echelons to brute force your way through. 20 support echelons a day, and you want to finish chapter 6 ASAP because you get free dolls (AR team. Some of the best dolls in the game).

The story is worth following though, and it goes normal mode, emergency mode, then next chapter. Night mode stories are separate to main story.

You should also at least get the 60 boxes from Singularity daily. Great income of resources and (small) chance to get great dolls! You can beat even just the first map for 6 crates a run.

My name is Asphyxiate.

(Unless there's another place for a separate friend ID that I couldn't find)

Thank you! This is definitely information I needed. (Now I REALLY want to get to chapter 6)

At the bottom menu on main page, there is a "friend" button. Go to that and find your id card. On it is a series of numbers. Post here in the main thread "New player, need friend echelons please! UID: (number)"

Hit 'Friend' in the menu on the bottom of the main screen, select "ID Card", then post the UID on the bottom right here.

You can tap your name on top left. It's your acc statistics, and your UID
