Is Etheria: Restart a main or side type of game?
Leaning more toward the main game - mainly because there's no sweep feature here. You have to build teams that are able to consistently and quickly beat the endgame bosses and the you can either watch the battle progress or let it run in the background (even if you close the game, the battles will continue).
How long does it take to finish the dailies?
Around 10 minutes or so for the dailies themselves, but it will take you longer to use up all the stamina you get daily.
How does the stamina work in this game?
You start with 100 stamina cap and for every account level you achieve you receive +1 to the cap. So with the max account being 100, it sets the stamina cap at 200. Still, if you purchase the Monthly Card (costs $5), you will get +20 to the current cap.
As for the stamina recharge rate - it's 1 stamina point every 5 minutes.
Is the game free to play friendly or pay to win?
Definitely free to play friendly. Reasons:
- You can clear all endgame PVE content using SR characters and free SSR characters,
- Banners don't have the dreaded 50/50 system,
- Character dupes aren't that impactful (they only give some additional raw stats - no new skills or effects).
What are the rates?
The chance to pull the highest rarity (SSR) characters is set to 1% for the majority of the banners - further split into 0.75% for Red/Green/Blue characters and 0.25% for Light/Dark characters - the elements have different names here, but they mean the same thing.

Is it worth to reroll?
To guarantee yourself a strong start we suggest rerolling an account and aiming for one of the LD (Light & Dark - so the 'rarer' elements) characters. The goal will be to pull on the Standard RGB (Red, Green & Blue) banner and aim to pull a LD character (yes, you can still get them there). Every time you pull an SSR character from the Standard RGB banner you have 25% chance it will be a LD character instead - so the rates are pretty good. With the starter rewards and codes, you should be able to do 60-80 pulls on a fresh account and that's enough to pity an SSR from the standard banner.

How do the servers work?
The highest level is Region (NA, Europe, SEA) and each Region is further split into servers. Here are the restrictions:
- Etherena and PVE-related leaderboards: limited to your current server,
- Game features including Friends, Union and Chat: Cross server within your region,
- Summit Arena (RTA) and Phantom Theater (Coop PVE): Global matchmaking.
What's the endgame?
For PVE content, the endgame is optimizing your teams, you so can farm Modules and Shells (and other stuff) as quickly and efficiently as possible. There are also Union Bosses that allows guilds to compete against each other who can deal the most damage.
For PVP content, Real Time Arena is the 'endgame', but you also have AI battles available and even a special 'mini-tournament' mode that uses the RTA ruleset and picks 8 players to compete against each other - it's basically a simulated E-Sport mode that everyone can try.
Speed vs Turn meter - what's the difference?
It's pretty similar to most turn-based games:
- Speed decides the initial placement on the 'turn timeline' and the spot where you reappear after acting, but also how 'fast' you move on the timeline. The higher speed, the faster you will move and act again,
- Turn Meter pushes you forward (or backwards) on the 'turn timeline'. For example 100% turn meter boosts means you immediately take action, even if you were at the 'end' of the timeline.
