Tips and Tricks for New Players
• Don't spend your gems on deals in the shop. Instead, use them for energy refills.
• In Survival Mode, use your weakest characters first to build up the Rally Meter before you send in the big guns.
• Legendary events require you to have heroes of 4 star rank or higher. Even if you don't use certain heroes, it's a good idea to keep promoting them all in case they're needed to get a Legendary hero you want.
• Picking your favorite characters is fun, but picking characters with synergy will get you farther. Check each hero's abilities to see what they do and how well they'll work with other heroes. A popular team is Sonic, Big, Shadow, and Joe Musashi. Sonic does big damage with his star tiles, Big taunts and heals himself while creating more blue star tiles for Sonic, Shadow creates even more star tiles for everyone, and Joe uses his MAX Skill to set off all those star tiles. Synergy!
• Join the official Sega Heroes Discord to chat with the wider playerbase and get instant updates on what's new: https://discord.gg/segaheroes
So yeah, let's get this out of the way: yes, it's a F2P mobile game; yes, the monetization model is pretty rough; no, you probably shouldn't spend real money on it.
Can it be fun? Sure, especially once you finally get some teams with synergy. Match 3 is pretty tried and true at this point. If you learn how to play F2P and accept that you won't be getting the brand new shiny characters for a month or three after their debuts, you can enjoy this game.
