Hey folks, finally got some time to sit down and crack open Girls Frontline 2: Littara today. Man, starting fresh was kinda overwhelming at first. So much stuff popping up, you know? Felt like I was getting pulled in ten directions. Decided to take it slow and really figure out how to actually start strong, not just stumble around.
So, Booted It Up
Like any new game, I just tapped “Start” and let the intro roll. Skipped nothing! First mistake folks make, I reckon, is skipping the basics. The game hands you a few starter units, basic T-Dolls, obviously. Felt weak, obviously.
Where I Felt Stuck Immediately
Right off the bat, resources were tight. Found myself staring at:
- Low Construction Materials: Barely had enough for a couple basic pulls.
- Energy Capped Fast: Seemed to vanish doing just a few early missions.
- Confusing Menus: So many tabs! Development, Formation, Research… head spun a bit.
Felt like progress was gonna be a slog. Needed a plan.
What I Did To Fix The Start
Okay, time for action. Decided to focus on five key things right from login day one:
First, rushed the main story chapters. Seriously, didn’t stop to farm early nodes. Just pushed as far as I possibly could with my starter squad. Goal was unlocking all the core features like Daily Missions and the Simulated Combat thingy. More unlocks = more stuff to earn daily. Took some effort figuring out placements against the early enemies, but manageable.
Second, pulled smart, not hard. Didn’t blow my meager Construction Materials instantly. Saved enough for one 4-star guarantee pull. Prayed for a decent carry unit. Got Nemeta! Happy days. Ignored the urge to pull more immediately. Patience is key early on.
Third, upgraded essentials like crazy. Focused only on my core 4 units for the early squad – Nemeta and the three best starters. Didn’t spread resources thin. Grinded a bit in the Resource Missions specifically for Enhancement Materials. Leveled them up first, then focused on their primary Skills. Felt the power jump almost immediately. Things died faster!
Fourth, attacked Dailies like clockwork. Unlocked them around Chapter 2 or 3. Made completing ALL daily tasks non-negotiable. Didn’t care if it was just collecting login rewards or running one training sim. Clear the list, every single day. The passive income of mats and EXP items started stacking up nicely.
Fifth, mastered positioning. This one took practice. Kept rerunning easy missions. Watched how the enemies moved. Placed Nemeta in spots to maximize her AoE damage. Put my tankiest unit out front to soak. Messed up placements a few times – squad wiped, oops! But learned fast. Positioning beat sheer stats sometimes.
The Payoff? Real Progress.
Sticking to those five things actually worked wonders. By the end of my play session:
- Squad power jumped significantly.
- Reached Chapter 5 smoothly.
- Had a steady flow of materials coming in from dailies.
- Way less confused about where things were.
- Fights felt more strategic, less frantic.
Runs smooth now! Doesn’t feel like hitting a wall anytime soon. Lesson? Focus the basics hardcore at the start. Pays off big time later. Hope this helps any other Commanders just dropping in!
