How to Play Shining Beyond Guide for All Players

 

Shining Beyond is an MMORPG developed by XII Braves PTE LTD. It features stunning visuals and unique combat mechanics that separate it from other games of the same genre. The game has forging, character class customization, and guilds as its primary sources of attraction.

 

In this article, we’re going to talk about everything you need to know to get started in Shining Beyond as a relatively new player. This will include tips and tricks, general guides, and we will also try to help you understand the many nuances of the game as well.

 

Use your Daily Free Summon:

 

Every player in Shining Beyond is given a free daily summon. As a F2P player, you should always reroll for a balanced team whenever you can. Remember always to wait till you get 10x tickets before you start summoning.

 

We recommend that you always go to step-up summoning, which costs about 11,000 gems. While this is not a very powerful summon, you end up getting 40 valianite, which is quite useful as you progress later on into the game.

 

Pick A Balanced Team:

 

You should pick one team as soon as you start and concentrate only on them. Generally, a well-balanced team should include a warrior, a rogue, an archer, and an acolyte as well.

 

Some argue that the Acolyte is not needed. However, we recommend that you as beginners experience every class no matter how useless they might feel in some engagements to make the decision yourself.

 

How to have Teamwork Master?

 

 

It would help if you generally had a team with masteries of all the event game modes and general modes present in the game. These include Adventure, Arena, Tower, and Events. For this, the best draft we recommend is:

 

- Athena (Arena)

- Shizu (Adventure / Event)

- Artemis (Arena)

- Theia (Tower)

 

The advantage of going this route is the fact that you get drops from all different avenues. As all of these areas have different currencies, you can use Arena currency to buy different items, Tower Token for Tower Shards, etc. This will generally help you promote your characters faster as you will accumulate a larger reserve of different types of currency.

 

Keep in mind that a well-known disadvantage of this is that you lack the buff that you get from having a complete mastery. So, you won’t be winning in Arena very often, especially against stronger players, as you will always be at an inherent disadvantage.

 

Shining Beyond is designed in such a way that there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing which path you should take. So, it would help if you decided on your own.

 

How to Promote Your Character?

 

 

Character promotions are one of the most important parts of Shining Beyond. Concentrating on a few characters is always recommended, especially for a newer player like you. This is simply because of the fact that concentrating resources will mean that you won’t be wasting valuable resources and spreading yourself too thin.

 

Generally, promoting to a higher star has a massive difference as it is exponential. So, you should generally be promoting all your characters evenly rather than just focusing on one, as you will end up wasting a lot of resources trying to beat the exponential curve.

 

Do not 3 Star your Weapons:

 

While most would argue that 3-starring or fully upgrading your weapon helps you clear mobs faster, we recommend that you do not this. While you do end up getting a lot of 3-star weapons to grade up and tier up, it still is not worth it.

 

As a beginner, you should focus on progressing as fast as possible. For this, resource management is of pivotal importance. You do not get a lot of gear or money in the earlier stages of the game. Therefore, upgrading your weapons so early will lead you to have no money to purchase items or equipment that are actually extremely important.

 

It would be best if you always remembered that Shining Beyond, like any other MMORPG, uses an exponential curve when it comes to leveling up anything, including weapons and armor. So, if a Level 3 weapon costs 50 dust, it would take 2500 dust to the next level, which is an absolutely massive difference. Keeping this in mind, you should try to stock up on what little early-game resources you have.

 

Always get Shop Packs:

 

If you are a F2P player, you should never skip the free daily pack from the premium shop. If you have 40 Valiante, which you should by now, you can now go ahead and use the hero selector if you wanted to. However, we recommend going for rerolls instead and stopping at one valiant or more.

 

Complete all the Tutorials:

 

 

Shining Beyond is a game that is filled with intricate mechanics and is generally harder to understand than most traditional MMORPGs. While some advanced players might skip the tutorial, we recommend that no one skip it as it rewards you with exclusive items and gear that give you a much-needed head start.

 

Moreover, the tutorials give you an overview of the Auto-Battle and Auto Skill feature, which is useful as it helps you understand what particular options you want to be turned on later in the game. As a rule of thumb, however, we recommend leaving Auto Movement on but Auto Skillset to off as the AI messes up your spell-casting a lot.

 

Conclusion:

 

Shining Beyond is a very fun MMORPG, especially due to its character customization and intriguing storyline. As a reminder, we always recommend going for a path that you feel is the most enjoyable as the game has balanced every path out quite well, so there is no real “best” path in the game.

 

Moreover, we always recommend saving your reforge tickets for higher stars (at least 6-7) for maximum efficiency. You can go for both methods if you really wish to, but it is not recommended for newer players as you will have to micro-manage a lot more things.

 

In conclusion, the tips and tricks mentioned above should be of immense to any new player who is just starting the game off. Ultimately, most of the choices you make in the game will be okay as currently, there is no inherently over-powered class or item.
