How to Start Black Beacon How to Begin Black Beacon for New Players

The black beacon attracted many newcomers right after its launch, but these new players are still quite confused about character selection, resource acquisition, and other aspects, not knowing what to do. So, how to start off in the Black Beacon? The following will provide a detailed beginner's guide to help you easily grasp the early game rhythm, allowing new players to also experience the fun and enjoy the game.

I. Character Selection and Team Composition

For characters, we recommend T0 level Ireshian and Viola. Ireshian is a dark attribute main DPS, with high burst damage and mobility, and her ultimate skill can forcibly gather monsters together for massive damage, with additional damage to bosses and elites. These abilities make her excel in difficult dungeons and various challenges. Viola, as a lightning attribute main DPS, can frequently deal high area damage, and after unlocking talent 2, she can also trigger passive healing, making her stand out in early game map clearing.

In terms of team composition, beginners can follow the classic main DPS, secondary DPS, and support model, which is very practical. The main DPS is responsible for primary output, the secondary DPS provides buffs and supplementary damage, and the support ensures the team's survival and sustainability. For example, if Ireshian is the main DPS, you could pair her with Nana, another dark attribute character, as the secondary DPS, and Rosse, a light attribute character, as the support. Nana, as a secondary DPS, can increase the team's overall damage, has multiple damage segments, and can continuously deal damage, further enhancing output efficiency when paired with a dark attribute. Rosse is a powerful support, capable of healing, providing shields, and boosting attack power, playing a significant role in the early stages of the game for new players.

II. Elemental Mechanism

All battle characters can be divided into five elemental types: water, fire, lightning, light, and dark. In battles, the monsters we encounter will have different elemental weaknesses. Choosing the corresponding attacking character based on their weaknesses can make the battle easier. Additionally, continuous attacks can accumulate special elemental anomalies on the monsters. Each type of elemental anomaly triggers a different effect; for example, water elements can cause a brief freeze, while fire causes enemies to enter a burning state, taking continuous damage, etc. You can refer to the image below for more details.

Elemental anomalies can be seen accumulating above the monster's head during battle. When the elemental icon above them changes from hollow to solid, it can trigger an anomalous burst damage. To complete the accumulation, especially if a single character accumulates slowly, consider using two characters. When enemies simultaneously trigger two different elemental anomalies, it can result in elemental overload, helping us deal extra damage and break their resilience. The resilience-breaking effect mainly targets certain monsters with resilience traits, which, once completely removed, will leave the monster paralyzed, increasing the damage they take.

III. Resource Acquisition

When new players cannot quickly improve their operational skills, the best way is to level up their characters to meet the requirements of the dungeon. To level up smoothly, you need to use blue, purple, and gold experience books of different levels. There are many ways to obtain them, such as through library reproductions, side quests, etc. After leveling up your characters to a certain point, you will also need to ascend them. Ascension materials correspond to the character's element. Lower-level materials can be obtained in large quantities from corresponding dungeons, while higher-level materials require synthesizing from lower-level ones. Therefore, the amount needed increases as you progress, so new players should accumulate as much as possible.

IV. Ancient Marks

Ancient marks obtained in the main story dungeons can be understood as enchantments for characters, providing attribute bonuses and increasing elemental damage. You can check the enhanced values from the base panel. New players seeking higher-tier ancient marks can synthesize them from lower-tier ones. If you are not satisfied with the attributes of the ancient marks, you can use re-engraving blades to reshape them. This tool is limited in quantity and can be obtained from Pure Energy Gifts. The reshaped ancient marks will have altered attribute bonuses.

Now, everyone should understand how to start off in the Black Beacon. The above explains knowledge related to character selection, resource acquisition, and elements. After reading this, new players should be able to apply these tips in the early game, and believe that they can successfully defeat different monsters and quickly pass through the early stages.
