Shining Beyond – Advanced Tips, Tricks, and Strategies

Shining Beyond is a gacha MMORPG that is developed by XII Braves PTE LTD. It follows the story of Jake, who is furiously fighting a battle against his demons. He uses the help of his friends and trustworthy allies to fend off waves of dark forced pouring out of an Abyssal gate.

 

 

Shining Beyond focuses on prioritizing player experience. It has an auto-battle and auto quests simulator; therefore, it focuses on IDLE gameplay as well. It is also the first MMORPG that allows players to AFK progress offline as well.

 

In this article, we will talk about advanced tips, tricks, and strategies you can use to get better at the game quickly.

 

Do not worry about Re-Rolls:

 

Shining Beyond is a game that can easily be cleared with SR units, especially if the OBT understands how the game works. You should be able to get many pulls for free anyway.

 

After clearing some of the story modes, you should convert R shards into SR tickets and SR shards into SSR tickets, giving you a lot of opportunities to get your favorite units.

 

The game also gives you SSR selectors at certain intervals throughout the storyline. However, keep in mind that you will not be able to get any of the Valiants, but you can get any top-tier hero.

 

Always Select a Job Path:

 

 

Job Paths are a pivotal part of Shining Beyond. Since you have to divide between two intermediate jobs and five advanced jobs, it gets really hard figuring out what jobs you should be taking. It would help if you never took the pure advanced classes such as Defender and Ninja.

Here is a recommend job path you can go for:

 

- Warrior: Crusader to Paladin

- Rogue: Assassin to Stalker

- Archer: Ranger to Stalker

- Acolyte: Mage to Shaman

 

After you reach level 7, you will unlock an intermediate job, and after level 9, you will get another advanced job. By then, you should have a better idea of playing the game and how the system works. Figuring out what jobs work for you is extremely important as it will boost your leveling up speed by a huge amount.

 

Focus on Stat Bonuses:

 

 

Stat Bonuses are extremely important in PvP and PvE engagements as you scale your character into later levels. We recommend that you almost always go for 100% dodge on your characters no matter what class they are for these engagements.

 

The dodge skill gives you a chance of fully negating a hit, which goes on CD for 1.5 seconds. It is quite easy to stack this once you start leveling up jobs. The greatest benefit is that it improves your character's performance in class towers, arguably the hardest PvE content in the game.

 

For earlier levels, you can focus on dodge and other class-specific stats for your class. For warriors, we recommend leveling blocks to 100 percent. For DPS, you should go for Crit, and Acolytes should be going for a block as well.

 

Always have an Acolyte in your Team:

 

We always recommend favoring an Acolyte instead of going for two Archers or Rogues in your composition. Having an Acolyte provides your team with much-needed sustain, but it does reduce their DPS.

 

However, in higher levels, DPS should not be an issue as each class should be dealing enough damage. However, having your DPS classes stay alive would still be an issue. Therefore, having an Acolyte in your team will be immensely helpful, especially in the game's later stages.

 

Use the Auto-Play Feature Wisely:

 

Auto-Play is one of the most important features of Shining Beyond. There are many auto movement options in the gameplay menu, which help when you are clearing dungeons. We recommend that you turn off auto events as they usually take a while and might hinder your chance of getting a 3 star on your quest.

 

The AI for AutoPlay is still not perfect. They whiff up skills or let your characters die even though they had a heal that would save them. Moreover, the AI sometimes spends too many resources on enemies that could have died from less.

 

Therefore, we recommend that you play with Auto Movement and Auto Skills. This way, you will only be using skills when you need them, and they won't just get randomly triggered by the AI.

 

Complete your Daily Quests:

 

 

In a gacha grind focused game like Shining Beyond, each resource counts. Therefore, it is no surprise that we recommend you log in every day to claim your login bonus. Moreover, Daily Quests are refreshed every 24 hours and are of paramount importance to leveling up quickly and getting better at the game.

 

Completing Daily Quests awards you with numerous unique items and exclusive rewards that you will not found anywhere else. You can also try your luck at harder quests with a proper party and a considerably high-level team composition. If you manage to complete one of these quests successfully, you can expect many rewards for your hard work.

 

Generally, completing just the first one or two quests should be enough to give you a considerable boost every day if you do them consistently over a month or so.

 

Conclusion:

 

Beyond Shining is a gacha based IDLE open-world MMORPG. It has unique elements that differentiate it from other games of the same genre. The auto-battle and auto-battle feature are quite finessed. Moreover, the ability to be able to AFK the game while offline is an unprecedented feature.

 

All in all, your progression is dependent on how much time and effort you can put into the game. Therefore, you should try to dedicate at least two hours of your time every day in order to progress at a reasonable pace.

 

The game features quite a hard skill curve, especially when selecting a job path or generally progressing in the game with particular team composition. These tips should help you develop a general sense of game mechanics and become a much better player in no time.
