Tips after reaching level 298

I'm sharing tips I learned while playing as a free-to-play player because I'm having fun. 1. Heroes - Heroes are a late-game spec-up content. If you only plan to clear hidden stages, you can get by with just the heroes given from daily check-ins. If you're not aiming for hidden stages, you need to save up gems to summon at least a Mythic grade hero to proceed to stage 3. 2. Weapons - Each hero has a specific weapon they are specialized for (top right of the hero portrait). If you equip the specialized weapon in the main slot, you receive effects at certain levels when the weapon levels up. - For S-grade weapons, once unlocked, take the guaranteed Legendary grade weapon you receive and summon one that matches your specialized weapon. Equip it in the main slot for hunting. I don't recommend using gems to summon S-grade weapons. - For those aiming for hidden stages, once you have enough gems, prioritize upgrading your weapon tier with the 'Warrior's Weapon Chest'. If you're looking long-term, summon a Mythic hero and then aim for S-grade weapons. ☆ The best way to obtain gems is through the Tower of Challenge ☆ ☆ Besides the basic 2 tries, you can get up to 5 additional tries by watching ads ☆ ☆ Since there are also 5 x 3x reward ads, the combination of basic 2 tries + 5 ad tries (with 3x rewards) is the most effective ☆ I'll leave minor tips in the comments.
