Neo Artifacts Beginner Guide: Reroll, Best Early Units, And First Week Tips

Neo Artifacts Artwork 1

Neo Artifacts drops you straight into a tough tactical SRPG, so using your first week well makes a huge difference. This beginner guide covers how (and whether) to reroll, which early units to prioritize, and what to focus on in your opening days.​

Should you reroll in Neo Artifacts?

Neo Artifacts uses a modern gacha setup with lowered rates and a 50/50 system added for its beta and global versions, which makes chasing a very specific start more painful than in older titles. Players in the beta also noted that the game is quite challenging and rewards smart play and team building more than brute‑forcing with one broken carry.​

That means rerolling is optional rather than mandatory: a solid spread of roles is more important than one hyper‑rare Artifacter. The game also lets you field themed rosters (all‑male, all‑female, etc.), so you can lean into your favourites without completely bricking your account.

If you do choose to reroll, aim for at least one premium damage dealer and one strong support so you can clear early stages consistently.

Best early units and team ideas

Even in beta, players highlighted how easy it is to build a functional all‑male team, with several strong DPS and hybrid supports available early. There’s currently no dedicated male healer on the CN side, but some male support characters provide enough sustain that you don’t strictly need a pure healer in early content.

What matters is covering basic roles: one front‑liner, one or two main damage dealers, and at least one unit that brings heals, shields, or strong buffs. Because Neo Artifacts’ auto‑battle struggles on tough maps, your manual positioning and synergy will matter more than simply stacking raw stats.

For launch, check community‑driven tier lists and code guides to see which starter or banner units are being recommended as “must‑build” early carries.​

First week tips and priorities

Neo Artifacts is “unexpectedly tough” and doesn’t let auto‑battle carry you to max rewards, so your first week should focus on learning its grid system and core mechanics. Use your early stamina to push main story until you unlock key resource stages, then start mixing in dailies and upgrade nodes each day.​

You’ll also want to redeem any launch‑day gift codes and pre‑registration rewards as soon as possible so your early roster is properly geared and leveled. Save most of your premium currency for limited banners that feature top‑tier carries once the community has identified early meta units.

If you treat Neo Artifacts like a tactical RPG first and a gacha second, prioritising smart grids, solid early units, and efficient first‑week progression, you’ll set your account up for long‑term success without burning out rerolling endlessly.
