As a side-scrolling action role-playing game that integrates a domestic comic IP, for those who are unsure about how to get started with the mobile game "The Outlier," it can indeed be challenging if you've never played this type of game before. Learning these gameplay tips today will allow new players to take the lead in battles and enjoy a more relaxed and pleasant combat experience. If you're interested, let's take a look at the following introduction together.

Once players reach Chapter 2, they can start leveling up their characters to avoid wasting valuable resources early on. For character development, new players should not evenly distribute resources but instead focus on cultivating the A-rank character Zhang Chulan or Feng Baobao given by the system. For Zhang Chulan, prioritize upgrading his basic attack, Little White Long Snake, and the skill Yang Wu Lei Palm Thunder, which will enhance his output capability in battles.

In terms of equipment enhancement, prioritize enhancing weapons first, followed by rings and amulets. There's no need to rush into pursuing set effects; a blue weapon +10 is sufficient to handle most stage challenges. In daily tasks, regardless of what task you complete, you can earn stamina to participate in more modes. It's recommended to prioritize clearing the Outlier Archive dungeons to obtain character fragments. When tackling dungeons, you can use Zhang Chulan, starting with a dash, then using Yang Wu Lei Palm Thunder to trigger a stagger effect, followed by a five-hit combo, forming an efficient combo. When monsters show a red warning circle, players need to swipe left or right to dodge. Successfully dodging will trigger bullet time for a counterattack.

Feng Baobao is known for her powerful area damage. When facing a group attack, she can first use the spinning blade light to gather enemies, then release the Eighteen Techniques to clear the area. At the same time, keep one Qi energy point reserved for emergency dodges. Guild activities are an important part of the game. Players should actively participate in the guild's monster invasion event from 12 PM to 2 PM daily. When attacking the world boss in the guild scene, hitting its tail weak point will yield higher rewards.
There's also the daily 7:30 PM truck interception event, where players can intercept three supply trucks to obtain ability chips and unlock additional attribute slots for amulets. After completing the third level of the Outlier Hall challenge, players will receive Zhang Lingyu fragments. His Yin Wu Lei Water Organ Thunder skill has a continuous damage effect, making him suitable as a secondary damage dealer in the mid-game. In terms of equipment reforge, it's best not to lose critical hit damage. Actively participating in guild activities and supply truck interceptions can help you obtain core resources.

During the cultivation process, players should avoid dispersing their investments. Prioritize enhancing the equipment of the main damage dealer and use elemental advantages and environmental interactions to reduce battle difficulty. Additionally, completing daily limited-time events to accumulate resources, even as a regular player, can gradually help you obtain high-tier characters. In terms of basic resources, Lingxu Coins are an important currency that can be used for exchanges. Xuanhuang Jade is a precious resource in competitive challenges, which can be used to recruit certain characters or exchange for secret manuals.

For example, when a player hits the opponent first but encounters the awkward situation where all normal skills are on cooldown, if the opponent is knocked down but there's no follow-up, the situation can quickly turn unfavorable. At this point, the forced cancel technique becomes particularly important. It allows players to reset the basic attack sequence by consuming some stamina during a basic attack, allowing them to continue the attack rhythm until the normal skills refresh. Additionally, the forced standing technique is another valuable skill. After the last hit of a basic attack hits the opponent, although the combo ends, if you can flexibly use other moves to pull the opponent back into a forced standing state, you can continue to control the battle. However, this technique is not suitable for all characters and requires a deep understanding of the character's characteristics.
