Mastering Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium: A Comprehensive Progression Guide
New to Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium? Don't worry, this guide will help you navigate the game's early stages and unlock its core features. Your primary goal is rapid story campaign completion to reach Commander level 30, unlocking PvP and Boss Fights with valuable rewards.
Smart Rerolling for F2P Players
Free-to-play players should seriously consider rerolling for an optimal start. Aim for Suomi from the rate-up banner and either Qiongjiu or Tololo from the standard or beginner's banner. This strong SSR DPS duo will significantly boost your early game progress.
Prioritize Story Missions
Focus relentlessly on story campaign missions. Ignore side battles initially; leveling your Commander is the top priority. Proceed through story missions until a Commander level increase is required to continue, then explore other activities.
Strategic Summoning
Accumulate summon tickets and Collapse Pieces during missions. Strictly reserve Collapse Pieces for rate-up banners. If you missed Suomi, dedicate all resources to her banner. Otherwise, use standard summon tickets (not Collapse Pieces) on the standard banner to acquire additional SSR characters.
Leveling Up and Limit Breaking
Character levels are linked to your Commander level. After each Commander level increase, use the Fitting Room to train Dolls and upgrade their weapons. At level 20, gather Stock Bars via Supply Missions to break the level limit. Concentrate on your main team (ideally Suomi, Qiongjiu/Tololo, Sharkry, and Ksenia, substituting Ksenia for Tololo if available).
Event Missions for Maximum Rewards
At level 20, participate in limited-time event missions. Complete all Normal missions, then at least the first Hard mission daily (three attempts available). Prioritize Hard missions for event currency to maximize gains from the event shop (summon tickets, Collapse Pieces, SR characters, weapons, etc.).
Utilizing the Dispatch Room and Affinity
Enhance Doll affinity in the Dormitory by gifting. Increased affinity unlocks Dispatch missions, providing passive resource acquisition, Wish Coins (for a separate gacha system and a chance at Perithya), and access to the Dispatch shop (summon tickets and other useful items).
Conquering Boss Fights and Combat Exercise
Tackle Boss Fights (a scoring mode requiring boss defeat within a turn limit) and Combat Exercise (PvP). An optimal Boss Fight team includes Qiongjiu, Suomi, Ksenia, and Sharkry. In Combat Exercise, set a weak defense for others to farm, while targeting easier opponents for your own point accumulation.
Hard Mode and Side Battles
After completing Normal mode campaign missions, progress to Hard mode and side battles. While they don't provide Commander experience, they reward Collapse Pieces and summon tickets.
