Etheria Restart Beginner Guide 2025: Reroll, Early Crystals, and Your First Week
Etheria Restart gives you a lot in the first week, but it is easy to waste stamina and crystals if you reroll badly or rush upgrades. This guide focuses on how to reroll efficiently, where to grab early Hydra Crystals, and what to prioritise across your first seven days.
How (and whether) to reroll in 2025
Rerolling is optional but recommended if you are willing to spend 20–30 minutes securing one or two top‑tier SSRs that will carry your account for months. The usual loop is: play the tutorial until your first batch of multis, redeem launch codes, dump everything into the best value banner, and reset if you whiff.
Priority tips:
- Use email or platform login, not guest, so you can safely keep good accounts and discard bad ones.
- Aim for at least one S‑tier carry plus a strong support or flex DPS, following up‑to‑date reroll target lists from sites and creators.
- Stop rerolling once you hit a “good enough” start; multiple guides stress that playing and farming beats chasing a theoretically perfect opener.
Early Hydra Crystals and codes
Hydra Crystals are the premium currency used for refills and gacha, and early income is heavily front‑loaded through codes, achievements, and launch events.
Good early sources:
- Redeem all active launch and collaboration codes (e.g. bundles listed on Eurogamer and popular reroll videos) straight away for free Crystals and coins.
- Clear beginner missions, pre‑registration rewards, and Global Fest‑style launch events, which together can total dozens of pulls if you finish all milestones.
- Push Arena milestones in your first week; players discovered that “first time” rank rewards (Silver, Plat, Diamond) actually reset each season, giving recurring Crystal and ticket injections.
Early‑game spending guides advise using Crystals primarily on stamina refills until around account level 50–55, then on high‑value banners rather than random pulls or Light/Dark banners with 3× higher cost.
First‑week progression roadmap
Your first week should balance pushing story, unlocking systems, and building a focused core team instead of spreading resources across many units.
Day 1–2 priorities:
- Clear story as far as possible without wasting stamina on random encounters; progression tests show that trash fights in story consume stamina and slow you down.
- Join a Union as soon as it unlocks to start daily check‑ins and unlock extra stamina and support features.
- Begin upgrading early modules/gear to +3 or +6 on your main team so they can handle difficulty spikes.
Day 3–7 priorities:
- Lock in a core of four to five units (2 main DPS, 1 healer/support, 1 tank/control, plus a flex slot) and funnel all levels, skills, and gear into them.
- Start farming key early dungeons like GP Outpost for skill materials and beginner shell stages that drop strong starter shells such as Unbridled Science for turn meter and sustain.
- Use Continuous Battle and idle time to burn stamina efficiently through the best EXP and shell stages available to your account level.
Common early mistakes to avoid
Beginner blueprints and 200+‑hour reviews highlight a few recurring pitfalls.
- Over‑pulling on the wrong banners: avoid Light/Dark banners and low‑value raids until you have a stable PvE core; they cost far more per pull and are targeted at whales.
- Over‑investing in too many units: raising six or more Saviors evenly leaves you under‑powered; max your main four first before diversifying.
- Ignoring shells and skills: raw level and rarity are not enough; upgrading key skills (especially third skills on SRs and SSRs) and equipping starter shells gives a far bigger power spike than just levelling.
Play around these rules, secure one good reroll, grab all early Crystals and codes, invest in a tight core team, and spend your first week unlocking and farming key systems, and you will leave the opening stretch of Etheria Restart with a strong, efficient account instead of a scattered one.
