So, to do that, you might want to learn some basics and tricks to make your experience more enjoyable and rewarding. 

That's why we have created this guide for you. In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know about BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot, from the basic gameplay mechanics and features to the best strategies and tips to dominate the underworld of Roanapur. So, without further ado, let's get started!

Starting Your BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot Journey

Firstly, you should know how to access the game. To start, open your browser, visit the h5.g123.jp, and create an account. Then you can start playing just from your browser, but at the outset of BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot, you're granted one hero, but to form a robust team, you'll need at least four heroes, depending on your level. 

To summon heroes, go to the Town button and locate the drinking bar for summoning. Here, you'll find two options: the standard pull and the 10x pull, the latter providing a higher chance of securing a high-quality hero. Reserve this for moments when hero desperation hits.

An alternative method involves collecting hero shards. Engage in the main storyline, climb the lighthouse, tackle circuits, buy boxes in general shops and complete main missions to earn these shards. Gather 20 shards, navigate to your bag's shard section, and craft them into a hero.

Once you acquire a hero, navigate to the team section of BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot and look for the boxes with a "+" icon at the top. Click it, choose a hero from the list, and voila—your hero joins the game. To replace a hero, click on the one you want to switch and use the covered back arrow or recycle icon to make the swap.

Strategic Hero Selection

When selecting heroes for your team in BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot, consider their star count—ranging from 2 to 5 stars, with higher stars indicating high performance. Aim for a team with heroes boasting four or more stars.

Hero Skills

Next, delve into their skills. There are defense-oriented support-type and damage-dealing heroes. If you want a good team, balance is the key. When making a team, include a maximum of two defense-oriented heroes, a support hero, and one of each type of damage dealer (AOE/CC/Single target).

While the basic formation shown above is solid, don't shy away from experimentation. Depending on the heroes at your disposal, consider swapping for a more customized approach. For instance, if you lack a defense hero, slot in a DPS hero with a stun to reduce the incoming damage effectively. Aim for diversity, but adapt based on your available heroes. This not only inflicts damage but also ensures your team's sustainability. A well-rounded team is the key to success in BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot.

Power Up Your Heroes

Once you have a solid team in BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot, the next thing you have to know is how to power them up. When you go to the team section of the game, under the portrait of the heroes, you will see three options: Level up, Rank up, and Gear. 

Level Up

Same as most games, in BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot, when you level up a hero, their base stats like ATK, defense, and HP increase. They can be leveled up using Teammate EXP. The maximum level for a hero is three times the level of your account level.

Rank

BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot's ranking system is comparable to other games' breakthrough systems. Ranking up is similar to leveling up, but it also increases all of the stats of the hero you choose to rank up. Additionally, depending on the hero's class, they will unlock an additional stat. 

For example, defense heroes will gain a defense skill boost, DPS heroes will gain an ATK boost, and they will also gain a boost to their main skill. You can rank up each hero you have 11 times, but after ranking 3, you will need a copy of the hero to perform each rank up, so investing your diamonds to acquire more copies is not a terrible idea.

Gearing Your Heroes

The next way to strengthen your team in BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot is to equip them with better Gear. The game has four gear rarities: white, green, blue, and purple. Purple Gear is the highest rarity and provides the most value for equipped heroes, while white Gear is the lowest.

To save time, you can use the Gear [Fast Upgrade] and Pieces [Fast Lv UP] functions to upgrade your Gear and pieces quickly. In BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot, Gear and pieces can be leveled up to level 10. The function will stop when you lack materials, and the gear upgrade limit level is twice the level of the hero.

When your Gear reaches Lv. 90, it can be ranked up. Ranking up requires a certain number of Gear Plans and Gear. After ranking up, the performance of the equipment will be enhanced. When a hero equips 2/3/4 pieces of the same set, you can obtain the stat bonus of the equipment set.

However, when one of your heroes reaches Lv. 50, they will be able to equip Pieces. By equipping Pieces from each series, you can obtain stat bonuses. You can obtain Pieces from the Church's Depot function and events. When your hero reaches Rank 9, Talent Awakening will be unlocked. Talent Awakening will greatly enhance your teammate's stats.

Support

When the hero reaches Lv. 40, the team size will increase to 6, and the support function will be unlocked. The higher the rank of the teammate teamed up for support, the higher the ally stats. So, this is where you should place your other high-level heroes. Similar to the team slots, these support slots will also unlock in every ten levels. So make sure to check and add new heroes to these slots as soon as they are unlocked. 

Formation Function

Next, once your team unlocks the support option, you will also unlock the formation function. There are three formations for you to choose from: Attack formation, surveillance, and scouting. When activated, they provide a boost to your team's hero positions. The Attack formation mostly boosts the stats of your team members' DPS-related attributes, such as Attack damage, while the Surveillance formation provides defense boosts to each slot. The Scout formation is a balanced option, providing both defense and attack boosts.

When placing heroes, make sure to give this section a look and rearrange them based on the boost that the formation provides to the hero slot. For example, if you are using the Attack formation, it provides an attack bonus of 3% for the first slot and HP absorption for the 6th hero slot. To get the most out of these bonuses, you should use a DPS hero in the first position and use a hero that benefits from damage absorption boost, like Eda, in the 6th slot.

BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot Game Modes and Progression

By now, we assume you have the basic knowledge of creating a good team. Let's explore what you can do with these created teams and the various modes that BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot offers. The most fundamental aspect of the game to focus on is missions. You can locate the mission billboard in the town section of the game. There are three types of missions:

• Daily missions that you must finish within 24 hours and reset every day.

• Main missions that do not have a time limit.

• Trophy missions can be completed by collecting a certain number of items, characters, resources, and many more.

Among them, the main missions and daily tasks are the ones you should prioritize. Alternatively, you can make daily tasks part of your routine in the game and save the main missions for times when you don't have anything else to do. These two types of missions help you complete the trophy missions with the resources they provide. You can also use these resources to power up your heroes and undertake more quests.

The Town

The town is like a resource mine that has numerous banners and events offering easy access to resources. You will be introduced to various other resource collection methods like daily login rewards and events such as 14-day battles that you can participate in to collect rewards. Actively click on banners in the town section with red dots on them, complete simple tasks, and gather resources.

BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot Battles

The Battle section is home to the game's world map and idle rewards. The world map is similar to the main campaign of other games. It features a few islands, each with a set of battle nodes that must be cleared to unlock the next island. Winning battles rewards players with hero shards, energy potions, account experience, and diamonds.

Idle rewards are another great source of income. Players can click on the idle rewards button a few times a day to collect free resources. The rewards that players receive from the idle system in BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot depend on their progress on the world map. This means that clearing the world map is an important way to earn more rewards.

The idle system also has a fast battle option. Using the fast battle button, players can collect 24 hours' worth of rewards once a day. However, players must spend 40 diamonds to collect again. This option is best used when players are finished playing for the day. This way, players will have made more progress on the world map than when they started playing, and they will receive more rewards from the fast battle option. 

The Circuit

The circuit is a game mode in BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot, where you can earn hero shards by battling and defeating enemies. Karma points, or pt, are used in the circuit. You earn Karma pt by battling and defeating enemies. The amount of Karma pt you earn depends on the color of the enemy's name:

• Defeating a player with a red name earns you 0 pt.

• Defeating a player with a yellow name earns you 3 points if you have not obtained any hero shards or 5 points if you have obtained a hero shard.

• Defeating a player with a white name earns you 5 points if you have not obtained any hero shards or 10 points if you have obtained a hero shard.

If you are defeated, your Karma value decreases by 2. Karma value also decreases by one every 2 hours. In addition to the hero shards, when you defeat an enemy, you will also obtain resources. The chance of obtaining hero shards varies depending on the color of the enemy's name:

• Red name (90%)

• Yellow name (50%)

• White name (20%)

Fighting the same enemy decreases the drop rate by 10% with each victory. The lowest drop rate is 20% for red names, 10% for yellow names, and 0% for white names. In addition to that, if the enemy's level is lower than yours, the revenue will decrease. If the level difference is ten or more, there will be no revenue.

BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot Harbor

The harbor is the hub of other game modes of the BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot. Let's explore each mode you will find here.

Resupply

This is the resources dungeons type mode of the game. It has three main areas that you can try to do twice a day. Once you clear a stage, you can use the sweep button to clear it. Each new stage gives you a higher reward, but you have to meet the required combat power and account level to unlock them. 

Fools Party

The Fools' Party is a bi-weekly event that takes place every Monday through Friday. During the Match Stage, players can compete in the Point Battle to earn rewards like Points, Merit, and other items. Merit can be exchanged for teammates and Gear. Players can fight up to 15 times per day for free, but they can use Gems to refresh their attempts if they run out. 

After the Match Stage ends on Friday at 23:00 JST, there is a ceasefire period where players can collect their rewards. The top 200 overall players and top 200 Point Battle players qualify to compete in the Tournament, which is held every Saturday from 10:00 AM JST to Sunday at 11:00 PM JST. Players will compete for placement in the rankings and earn rewards based on their performance.

Turf War

In BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot, this is a mode that allows you to earn resources according to the amount of resource building you have captured. You can select various territories depending on the type of Materials needed. You can also challenge other players and occupy their territories. You can also check the territory rewards in advance; then, if you don't like the rewards, you can use refresh to get other rewards.

Lighthouse

The BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot's endless tower mode is a test of your team's strength. You can try to clear as many levels as you can. Each level offers different rewards, and the value of the rewards increases with each floor. In addition, you will receive a large reward for every five levels you clear. 

You can also earn gear parts from this mode, which can be used to purchase SR-grade gear. If you can no longer clear the next level, you can use the sweep option to quickly complete the previous level. As with quick battle, you should only use the sweep option when you are truly unable to progress any further.

BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot Company War

In BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot, Company War is a weekly event that happens every Monday at 00:00 and ends on Saturday at 22:00. Only company members can participate. The goal of the event is to attack other companies and earn Company Points by defeating them. You can lose Company Points if you are defeated. 

There are daily victory requirements that you need to meet to earn rewards. You can refresh attempts by using Gems, and you can purchase challenge trios with Gems. After the event, the top 3 Companies in each facility will receive rewards based on their Company Point ranking. Here are a few tips to keep in mind while participating in this mode. 

• Choose your targets wisely. It is not always a good idea to attack the strongest companies. If you are a smaller company, you may want to focus on attacking weaker companies that you are more likely to defeat.

• Be strategic. Don't just attack every company you see. Plan your attacks carefully and focus on companies that you think you can defeat. Company Points are limited, so don't waste them on attacking companies that you are not likely to defeat.

• Teamwork is important. Work together with your company members to attack other companies and defend your own company.

Conclusion

BLACK LAGOON Heaven's Shot is a fun and rewarding game that offers a variety of modes and activities for players to enjoy. By following the tips in this guide, you can quickly get started and begin your journey to becoming the best captain in the Black Lagoon!
