the mage. As a general rule of thumb , a core team looks like this : 1 soldier (2 at times) , 1 heavy (2 at times) , 2 healers (3 at times) , 2 witches , 2 archers (minerva can replace 1 i guess) , 2 mages , 2-3 duelists (1 princess , 1/valk/barb/rogue) and the rest are whatever else u might need.


As for leveling up it's generally like this : core > rarity > dps > support > tank. Generally u will want to level your core team first , depending on the rarity ofc , but core takes priority. For example if you have a soldier and a pirate , and u have to chose between katie and minerva ,katie will take priority since she's core , even if she's just a gold.

Then , if your core is already levceled , u raise them depending on rarity......and then depending on their role. For example , archers and witches are generally a bit higher in priority then a healer or heavy. Actually my heavy has been 50cc40 a long long time untill i decided to max , and served me pretty well.


As for awakening , well it generally depends on what u want. A lot of people will awaken betty for her passive (gold get) , and others will go for celia , monica and cuterie , because all of those will improve the drop rates of tresure items. That being said , that's generally what rich people do , since free players can't afford to awaken all those before they awaken their primary combat units. In that case , i would recomand a healer , a tank , an archer , in whatever order you preffer. They all become really good after AW
