Search intent: Informational beginner-to-midgame guide with strong evergreen value.

Suggested structure

1. The core progression loop

• Spend resin on character power, not random short-term experiments.
• Use daily commissions, events and exploration to build Adventure Rank and account resources.
• Decide which one or two teams matter before investing in every new character.

2. Adventure Rank milestones

• Early AR: focus on character levels, weapon levels and simple team synergy.
• Mid AR: add talents, boss materials and reliable reaction teams.
• AR45 and beyond: artifact domains become more efficient because 5-star artifact access is consistent.
• High AR: refine artifacts, finish talent crowns selectively and prepare for Spiral Abyss or Imaginarium Theater-style team checks when active.

3. Resin priority order

1. Ascension materials for your main damage dealer and core supports.
2. Weapon materials for the weapons you actually use.
3. Talent books for abilities that contribute most of the team's damage or utility.
4. Boss and weekly boss materials when a planned ascension or talent upgrade needs them.
5. Artifacts after core levels and talents are stable.

4. Artifact rules for sane progression

• Prioritize main stats first; perfect substats can wait.
• Level promising artifacts in stages rather than forcing every piece to +20.
• Keep flexible sets with useful main stats for future supports.
• Use strongbox or recycling systems carefully instead of deleting every imperfect item.

5. Team building basics

• Build around reactions, energy needs and on-field time.
• Most accounts benefit from one reliable damage dealer, one sustain option and two supports that enable reactions or buffs.
• Do not split talent books and boss materials across too many characters at once.
• Consider elemental coverage for exploration and Abyss-style content.

6. Common mistakes

• Farming artifacts too early and delaying guaranteed power upgrades.
• Leveling every character equally.
• Ignoring weapons and talents because artifact stats look more exciting.
• Spending fragile resin without a clear short-term target.

7. Practical weekly checklist

• Choose one resin goal for the week.
• Finish limited-time events first if they offer primogems, crowns or rare materials.
• Clear weekly bosses only if the rewards support characters you use.
• Spend one session on exploration routes if you need local specialties or reputation progress.
