Plan the fight.Your five do the rest.

Action points. The bar refilling in about 10 hours (about 8 with an Elite account) is only the base. Expeditions drop items that restore action points, and AP potions can also be bought for yen, with a daily limit on how many you can use. So more action points is a decision: how much of your income do you put back into them? Early on, potions and mission rewards give you far more points than the bar alone. Later, the daily potion limit pays for itself because you earn more than the potions cost, but only if you spend the points well.

Spending them. Every location has different odds for different events: some feed your income, some your warriors' growth, some drop the rare items you need for missions or transformations. Many trips don't pay off right away, but in the story or across a few dozen expeditions. League fights cost action points too. They pay best at higher levels, but beginners still get league rewards.

A typical day. A typical day with work or school: in the morning you spend the full bar on your phone (around 200 action points at the start, around 600 on a fully developed account) and get on with your day. After work or school comes the long session: the refilled bar plus potions, then training, reading the wiki, testing attacks and what fits your team, talking setups in chat and working the market. That can easily take an hour. A short third session comes before bed.

The Inborn. On top of that there are the Inborn: rare groups of warriors born with an aura and some of the best stats in the game. A group has only a few of them. A new one appears every day in a different part of the world, stronger groups come now and then, and the strongest rarely. You can hunt them alone, but a clan makes it easier, because someone usually spots them first or is online when you're not. The Inborn are worth a lot, so players also log in between sessions when a clanmate or someone in chat sends a tip.
