The game attracts many newcomers with its rich variety of magical pets and innovative gameplay that blends classic tower defense with synthesis. However, as these new players are just starting out, they are bound to encounter various issues and may not know how to play. To help everyone smoothly embark on this journey of the Western Odyssey, the following guide on the arrival of magical pets will introduce the gameplay, pet selection, and more, helping newcomers get up to speed quickly and enjoy the fun.

I. Recommended Magical Pets
There are numerous magical pets, and it is suggested that newcomers draw physical-type Sun Wukong, Patriarch Bodhi, as well as water-type Ao Guang and Ao Run. Patriarch Bodhi has a unique defense-breaking skill, while Sun Wukong can increase the attack and critical hit rate of all physical-type teammates by 15%, with a 15% chance to instantly kill small monsters with less than 20 HP. When enemies are in a state of broken defense, this probability increases to 30%. Upgrading these two to level 55 will help improve the team's strength, allowing for quick passage through early stages and obtaining rewards. Ao Guang and Ao Run are essential pets for common players. Their mechanisms are entirely different from others, as identical tiers can be synthesized, which not only greatly improves our synthesis efficiency and speeds up stage clearance but also occupies less space, helping to deploy more pets in many dungeons and stages, significantly increasing the chances of clearing them.

II. Skill Selection
In the game, there are three types of quality skills to choose from: blue, purple, and gold. Additionally, skills are divided into fixed combat skills and magical pet skills. Only after carrying the corresponding magical pets can you obtain the respective magical pet skills. Since everyone must select 8 magical pets at the beginning, if most of your pets are not very practical, you can reduce the number of magical pet skills during the selection phase, prioritizing the main C and one key support. Choose a large number of combat skills that increase attack power or attack speed, with the priority being attack speed increase, attack increase, and finally monster vulnerability and movement speed reduction.
Among the many skills, there are three that must be selected if available: Unity, Universal Synthesis, and Incremental Refresh. Unity can significantly enhance the overall output of the team, Universal Synthesis provides a ginseng doll that can synthesize and advance with any hero, and Incremental Refresh allows you to gain an extra unit each time you refresh. Other skills should prioritize economic ones like Spirit Accumulation, Spirit Accumulation Increase, and Refresh Discount, which help you obtain more spirit essence to refresh the hero pool and quickly complete the synthesis of the main C.

III. Obtaining Artifacts
Artifacts are categorized into four qualities: Common, Excellent, Supreme, and Immortal. The higher the quality, the better the attributes, and some artifacts can even enhance specific combat skills. The first two types have high production, and you can obtain quite a few from the先天池. The third type is guaranteed to appear once the guarantee is triggered in the先天池, and it can also be exchanged in the store. The last type has lower production and is guaranteed to appear in the乾坤池once the guarantee is triggered. After acquiring a certain amount, you can use stardust to cultivate them.
Cultivation brings attribute bonuses. As the level increases, the resources required also increase. Therefore, for newcomers, it's advisable to distribute cultivation evenly, ensuring that all artifacts have roughly the same level. Don't focus solely on high-tier artifacts and neglect the others, as this can result in losing some attributes.

IV. Acquiring Immortal Jade
Immortal Jade is an important resource that should be accumulated as much as possible. Newcomers are advised to complete daily tasks as their first action upon logging in each day, as completing simple daily tasks can easily earn 140 Immortal Jades. Next, participate in the daily matchmaking of the United Lingxiao, where even if you lose, you can directly obtain United Points, which can be used to exchange for various materials in the store. If you don't have any particularly urgent needs, you can exchange for Immortal Jades. For those with a certain level of combat power, try the Xuan Gong Trial. This mode has different stages, and everyone gets three free challenges per day. As long as you meet the trial conditions, you can earn challenge stars. After clearing one stage, you can proceed to the next, and accumulating a certain number of stars will unlock the rewards of the Xuan Gong Monument.

This guide on the arrival of magical pets ends here. The above content introduces some choices in the early stages and the acquisition of resources. Newcomers who patiently read through this should be able to quickly get started and easily pass most of the early stages, gradually building up their strength and becoming stronger over time.
