NTE beginner mistakes to avoid

Mistake 1: spending before the account has a plan

The first week gives players a lot of menus, rewards, and red notification dots. That does not mean every reward should be spent immediately. Before using pull currency, upgrade materials, or rare shop tokens, write down the account problem you are trying to solve: damage, survival, exploration speed, event progress, or a favorite character plan.

If you cannot name the problem, wait. Waiting is not wasted progress in a live-service game; it protects flexible resources until you understand which systems matter most for your account.

Mistake 2: treating every new character as a project

New players often level several characters because every kit looks interesting. The problem is that half-built characters rarely solve hard content. A stable account usually starts with one main damage option, one support or safety option, and one flexible utility slot.

Use trial stages, story content, and low-cost testing to decide whether a character feels good before committing rare materials. Enjoyment matters, but enjoyment is easier to keep when the account still clears daily content comfortably.

Mistake 3: ignoring boring systems

Codes, mailbox rewards, daily unlocks, weekly reset tasks, and event shops are not as exciting as pulling. They are still the systems that compound account value. A player who clears those basics every day usually catches up faster than a player who only chases the newest banner.

Build a short routine: claim rewards, check timers, spend capped energy, review event shops, then explore or optimize. Keeping the routine short makes it sustainable.

First-week safety checklist

• Do not use flexible pull currency until you have checked banner timers.
• Do not level a second damage dealer before your main team is functional.
• Do not ignore mailbox rewards after redeeming codes.
• Do not download clients, APKs, or tools from unofficial mirrors.
• Do not copy a tier list decision without checking your own roster.
