## Where are the step-by-step tutorials?
Open Codex and choose Learn to play. Search for a feature or choose a category. There are 97 topics, including all fourteen life skills. Each topic has short numbered steps and a screenshot captured from the game. The pictured heroes and balances are examples, not your account.

## Do I have to finish a lesson at once?
No. Next saves your place. Close the lesson and reopen it to continue. Back lets you review an earlier step. Your first complete viewing of each topic adds 10 gems to the same saved account; replaying gives no additional gems. If a save fails, the lesson stays on its current step and asks you to retry.

## What should I do in my first session?
Reveal the free starter trio, then choose action RPG (recommended) or turn-based RPG and confirm with "Start with these three?". You can reroll before keeping the trio. Turn-based players begin on the Ladder; action players enter Meridian Forest with their first quest already taken, so the next step is talking to Ranger Kael beside the forest gate. The choice does not lock away the other mode.

A new account starts quietly. In the Overworld, enemies do not start fights with you and your heroes cannot fall until you finish Wolves on the Path or reach Overworld level 5. Event cards, chat and mail, banners and red dots, and the skills' notices appear as you level up. The Cash Shop and starter offers appear after your first own summon, not the free starter summon.

Follow Your next objective: summon, choose your team and mode, win a short fight, receive the saved result, and see a hero improve through training, equipment or battle growth. The checklist reads saved progress and does not charge extra resources or invent another battle reward. It resumes on your next visit. Use Show me how to open the matching lesson.

## What if the starter confirmation fails?
Retry the same choice. If the trio saved but the mode did not, the revealed team stays available while you retry the mode. You do not summon another trio or get sent to the other battle mode.

## What should I do when I return?
Check available rewards and your next Ladder stage or Overworld quest. Choose one improvement for the hero who needs it, then attempt that challenge. In the Overworld, Menu keeps the next objective, quests, where to train, skills, heroes and map together, and its Go buttons walk you to a place; the phone field leaves more space for movement and attacks.
