- “Hey! All these guides don’t agree with each other 100%.” Yup, and that’s because they’re just guides. What ‘’you’’ need can vary depending on which raids are coming up, if a new PvP season is arriving, etc. Buy what you need. <br>
- Each shop has a refresh timer at the bottom. When they refresh, the items will stay the same, but the purchase count will reset (except the Bounty shop that rotates what it sells). It’s better to buy things you need than hoard way too much and be limited on shop resets. Buy before they refresh. <br>
- You cannot summon units from the expert shop! Do not buy their elephs unless you have them, or plan on sparking them. Exceptions: Fest units like Wakamo and SHoshino. If you’re a max lvl player, you’ll have lots of leftover permits, so you might as well buy them (low priority). Newer players can’t afford it.
