A Comprehensive Guide for Open Space Newbies: How to Play Open Space

This issue brings a beginner's guide to the open space, where everyone needs to explore secret spaces, encounter various events and enemies with other explorers, and face the challenges of mysterious forces to ultimately uncover the truth of the space. Since this process is very challenging for beginners, the following beginner's guide will help you master the gameplay techniques so that everyone can smoothly embark on their adventure.

I. Recommended Powerful Characters

Cultivating powerful characters can better assist in combat. Currently, the T0 level characters are Xiao Fu and Shi. Firstly, Xiao Fu has excellent breaking ability and attack feel, with skills that combine healing, increased attack power, and enhancement. Her ultimate move has a wide range and can deal high damage to break shields, making her very useful at all stages of the game. Beginners should prioritize cultivating her. Shi, on the other hand, tends to be more effective in the mid to late game. Her ultimate move features a unique time-stop mechanism that can extend the duration of enemy breaks. Upon reaching full potential, there is a qualitative change, almost doubling the duration of her ultimate move, making her suitable for any team composition.

II. Combat Mechanics

The game's battles are conducted in teams of three, with players initially controlling only the team leader, while the others fight automatically. Since the auto-battle characters do not require much control, it is recommended that your main controlled character be the main damage dealer, with the other members being support-oriented. Stamina is a crucial element during combat, as dodging and using skills consume stamina. Additionally, if using a rifle as a weapon, normal attacks also consume stamina, so be sure to manage it carefully. Besides stamina, destruction is another key mechanic. Each attack accumulates destruction value on the enemy. When the accumulated destruction value exceeds the target's maximum threshold, the attack deals approximately 3.5 to 4 times the normal damage, interrupting the target's current action and causing knockback, while also allowing the player to recover stamina in a short time.

III. Lifestyle Mechanics

Improving lifestyle skills will provide additional bonuses to character growth. There are currently six lifestyle categories: fishing, gathering, cooking, crafting, weaving, and furniture making. Gathering does not consume energy and provides materials for other lifestyle skills, so it is recommended to prioritize gathering. Cooking and fishing are interrelated; as you level up cooking, you will need various materials, which can be obtained through fishing. Therefore, there's no rush to fish until you need higher-level catches for cooking. Similarly, weaving and crafting are mutually dependent, requiring each other's materials. New players can consider whether they have extra gold to cultivate these. Furniture making is not immediately needed for character breakthroughs, so new players shouldn't rush to improve it.

IV. Exploration Tips

Exploration is an important part of the game, and the fastest way to complete it is by starting from all teleport points. Therefore, new players should prioritize unlocking teleport points during the early stages. Teleport points come in two types: crystals and markers. Markers are numerous and difficult to find individually, so it is suggested to activate the crystals first and then use the markers for exploration. Additionally, when searching for items, you can click on the mini-map, and the menu in the lower right corner will show the locations of various collectibles. By checking options like tapes and books, you can clearly see what you haven't collected yet. Finally, click on the item you want to find, and then click the second marker in the lower right corner to start tracking.

V. Character Development

Since character breakthroughs have a chance of failure, although some materials are refunded, you still need to repurchase them from the store, leading to significant currency consumption. When you have characters to develop, don't use resources blindly. Spend your spare time doing daily tasks. Additionally, the drop rate of equipment from map exploration is much higher than from dungeon runs, so unless you urgently need a specific item, it is generally recommended to explore instead.

The above is a beginner's guide to the open space. The tips and important mechanics shared above should be utilized after mastering them. Collect powerful characters, perform daily explorations and lifestyle activities, and you will surely have a better adventure experience.
