Combat Mistakes to Avoidđźš«

❌ Don’t Stick to One Team

Experiment. All teams have weaknesses. Prepare multiple lineups.

❌ Don’t Avoid Competitive Modes

Arena and Grand Arena help you: Learn from opponents
Earn daily rewards

❌ Don’t Upgrade Everyone

Over 60 heroes exist—focus on your core team to conserve resources.

❌ Don’t Sell Soul Stones

Gold is easier to earn than Soul Stones. Keep extras—you might need them later.
