New Player Guide

Meroveil is a collect-and-build squad RPG: summon heroes, assemble a five-strong team, and let auto-resolved battles play out. You don't twitch-fight — you out-build. Here's how to start strong.

Verified against build 0.1.0, 2026-08-30Meroveil is in pre-release. Everything here is read from the game's live data, last verified 2026-08-30 — but balance updates ship faster than this guide, so treat every number as subject to change until launch.

1The core loop

  1. Summon heroes

    Pull from the banners to grow your roster.

  2. Build a squad

    Pick 5, set their formation, cover the elements.

  3. Clear campaign

    Battles auto-resolve; win to earn gold, gems & XP.

  4. Grow heroes

    Level, evolve and bond your core team.

  5. Push everything

    Higher tiers, the Tower, Arena and raids.

2Build your first squad

A squad is five heroes in two rows. The rule of thumb: tanks in front, damage and healing in back. The front line soaks hits and shields the back; your fragile carries deal more and stay safe as long as the wall holds.

3Your first week

  1. Check your inbox on day one. Anything waiting there is a one-time gift — claim it before you spend anything.
  2. Finish the tutorial summon. It's a guaranteed legendary, Cassia Arden — the highest-ATK hero in the game (135 ATK) and the carry your early squad is built around.
  3. Take your two free daily pulls. One free single-pull per banner, every day, before you spend a gem.
  4. Buy the 150-gem daily ticket every day. It's half the gem price of a pull and the best repeatable spend you have.
  5. Clear campaign to node 1-10, then switch to World Tier 2. Every tier raises rewards faster than difficulty. Sweep cleared nodes for easy gold and XP books.
  6. Bond your core squad. It's cheap, gives a permanent +9% to your best heroes, and refunds gems at milestones.
  7. Set an Arena defense and do a fight or two daily. Everyone who fights gets a weekly payout, and the higher tiers pay the Radiant stones you'll need much later.
  8. If you'll play regularly, unlock the Premium Battle Pass (500 gems) — it returns 3,400 gems plus three legendary heroes over a season.

Don't waste your gems

Nothing in the game costs energy, so there is nothing to refill and nothing gating how much you play. Save gems for summons, the daily ticket, and the Battle Pass — and skip Premium+ (900 gems) unless you're joining a season late, since it only skips tiers you'd reach anyway. See Economy & Best Buys for the full breakdown.
