Grand Chase Mobile Global - Newbie Guide

Grand Chase Mobile Global (GrandChase PH) v1 Newbie Guide. I'l try to update this guide with more information later.

TLDR
Expand slots in Skill Research tab and later expand slots in expedition.
After all slots expanded try your luck in gacha.

Best Units

                                     *DISCLAIMER*
DO NOT blindly look at the overall rating for your decisions. 
Some Units gets higher rating because of purely PvP or purely PvE. 
For example, Ronan and Ryan. Ronan has higher overall rating, but he only excels in PvP, whereas Ryan excels in Adventure. 
Be sure to check properly which content they are good for before judging.

Ranking above taken from here. Check inside for new hero ranking and recommended sets.

Lire - very good attack speed character
Lass - good synergy with lire and is very good in pvp.

Other SR Rank version (NEW)

List will be from top priority to lower :

SS (or SR)
+ Lass : High burst dmg + Low cooldown + Less SP cost + Good debuff ultimate + Useful in all content (Lass is basically a must to get even in KR server atm)
=> Red set for tier 5-7 . But later change to Orange set for tier 8-10 (Raid world 2 or higher)

+ Ryan : Tanky + Self Heal + Transfer dmg taken from teammates to himself + Self revive + (Ryan is a PvE tank god until Jin comes) // Downside : He is easy to counter in PvP with Cleo
=> Blue set to make him even tankier

+ Mari : Great mob clearing + Robot can tank (Better than Ras El but is outshined by Ley later on) // Downside : She is only great on clearing mobs . Her auto atk is pretty mediocre against single target boss like those in D.Beast
=> Green set to make her clear mobs even faster

+ Ronan : Tanky + Has good buff + Invincible (Great for PvP Defense or against Burst type of boss like one boss in D.Crack) // Downside : Long cooldown on skills . Less effective than Ryan in PvE)
=> Blue set for tankiness

+Sieg : Tanky + Annoying debuff + Annoying CC (Great for PvP Defense) // Downside : Not good in PvE . Better not use him in PvE at all . Elesis will be your buffer Assault later on
=> Blue set for tankiness

+Arme : Great burst + AoE slow (Great for DPS quest or when you need to burst dmg) // Downside : Too long CD + Cost too much SP on meteor + Auto attack has too long animation . Better pick Mari than Arme
=> Red set for more crit chance + Maximize every 50s . But later change to Orange set for even more crit chance and skill dmg
------------
S
+Olivia : OP Passive + OP Ultimate // Downside : Skill 2 has less chance to increase the star pattern . Low skill dmg . No gathering skill
=> Green set for more AS = Faster passive

+Bergamot : Great mob clearing thanks to passive (Still the best Archer for S rank till now on KR) // Downside : Less single-target focus
=> Green set for more AS

+Sage : Healing burst + SP regen buff that surpasses even Amy who is SS(SR) + SP regen from passive (Best PvE healer for S rank . More SP means more skill spam and faster mana gaining to use ultimate) // Downside : skill 2 isnt dat useful
=> Green set for more SP regen from passive

+Ras El : Great mob clearing thanks to passive + Summoning can somewhat tank (Still the best S Mage if you dont have Mari) // Downside : Same as Mari , has mediocre dmg against single target
=> Green set for faster mob clearing

+Bohr : Silence that also push enemies + Buff ally + 30% DR passive (Great on PvP even till now on KR) // Downside : No gather skill
=> Blue set for tankiness and less CDR

Cleo : Great great 1SP Dispel skill that remove enemy's buff and permanently prevent enemies from taking buff until they walk out of effect's area or enemies breaking the staff
=> Blue set so she wont die too fast from enemy's attack

+Charon : Great single target DPS (Best auto attack single target DPS for S rank . Great on D.Beast) // Downside : Not that great to fight against huge wave of mobs
=> Green set for more AS

+Hanout : Annoying AoE slow + Annoying AoE stun (Good for PvP Defense) // Downside : Just good for PvP Defense only
=> Blue set for tankiness

+Sachi : Good in PvP defense thanks to Cleanse and Revive on passive // Downside : No SP regen buff at all . Good ultimate but it doesnt reduce skill SP cost so its not that useful

=> Red set for crit healing or Blue set to make her harder to be killed in PvP"

Because game very generous with 5 stars +9 S Tier units you can try different characters and compare them with in-game statistic.

What to do with gems

Gacha rates for SR very low and many people suggest first to expand slots in Skill Research tab and later expand slots in expedition.

You can get SR character by 30 days daily login, events and golden medals.

What to do with low lvl Heroes

By selling heroes you can get prestige which required to lvl up heroes and get traits.

Hero Fusion

You can fuse 2 S Heroes for a slim chance to get SR Hero. Even if you fail to get SR, 6 stars S heroes required for awakening.

Awakening

In order to awake you need 2 same 6 star +12 heroes or 1 6 star +12 hero and fairy. Max awakening - 6. In order to max awake Olivia I need six 6 star +12 Olivia. 

Expedition

Except ordinary rewards you have a chance to get chests.

Guild Gems Exchange

After each exchange (6 times per day!) you will get -

You can buy SR Hero for gold medals.

Raid Gears

Before buying gears you must choose which sets better for you and focus on him. 

After your set piece get upgraded to +9 you can buy special item for 100 raid coins and 1m gold in order to get advanced set piece. 

Guild War 

Guild wars in Grand Chase very easy and not time consuming with rich rewards. In order to participate in guild wars you must be in very active guild with at least 25 members in it.
After guild wars starts press guild war button and press on >

Now select enemy without stars and try to win. Enemy with full stars = defeated enemy.

How to fast earn Prestige in Grand Chase

Fastest way for whales (rich people who spend at least 300$ per month in game)
1. Evolve all A and S Heroes to 6 star (Need tons Hero Evostones)
2. Sell them (Friday - best day for selling because 10% bonus to get x2)

Common way
1. Evolve all A and S Heroes to 5 star (If you have 0 Hero Evostones than move to 2.)
2. Wait until hot time and fuse all your 5 star heroes to 6 star.
If you don't want to spend Hero Evostones than just start fusing from 4 stars. Each time fusing you have a chance to get higher tier hero. Like A 4*+A 4* (or B) with 1% (idk but its small) you can get 5* S Hero. Same with S Heroes, you have small chance to get SR hero.
3. Sell them.

Evolve A 4* to A 5* cost 5 Hero Evostones.
Evolve A 5* to A 6* cost 20 Hero Evostones.

Evolve S 4* to S 5* cost 10 Hero Evostones.
Evolve S 5* to S 6* cost 40 Hero Evostones.

Special Summon Event!

Amy's (Different heroes each time, Amy just for example) chance to summon from SR rank - 100%. That means if you get SR hero (1% chance) you will get Amy.

Cindy's Summon Event!

Complete 'coin acquire missions' and press on random button.

Spend 100 gems and get 10 coins. (3000 gems = 300 coins)

If almost all numbers on board filled but still missed SR card, save 200 coins and open specific number with a touch. (Just press on it!)

Try your luck with Lucky Coin!
