Introduction

The Guides hub is the fastest way to learn Prospecting from the ground up. Whether you just spawned into the starting world or you are pushing toward endgame, our step-by-step articles cover the whole journey: how to summon your first heroes, which gems to spend and which to save, how to level up quickly without wasting resources, and what order to explore the anime worlds. We keep the guides free-to-play friendly because most players start with zero premium currency. Every guide explains the why behind the steps, not just the what, so you understand the progression systems instead of blindly following a checklist. Exploring all available game systems, location deposits, and gear upgrades ensures your character maintains maximum efficiency across sessions.

First-hour checklist from spawn to first summon

StartRedeem codes, then complete the tutorial world to unlock the hub and the Codes menu. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

Early GoalSummon 2-3 heroes and invest in one carry so you can clear the starting world boss comfortably. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

Pro TipDo not spend gems on Standard Summons — save them for the premium banner after your first world. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

Gems & Economy

Income sources and spending priorities that keep your gem bank healthy

IncomeCodes, daily and weekly challenges, co-op quests and first-time world rewards are your main gem sources. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

SpendingPremium summons first, limited banners second, and convenience purchases only when you have surplus. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

PitfallBlowing gems on small instant upgrades stalls your summon progress for days. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

Leveling Fast

The XP routes that get you to the level cap without wasted time

Best ZonesGrind the highest unlocked world you can clear quickly; challenge rewards scale with world difficulty. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

Co-op BoostCo-op shares rewards, so two players farming together clear faster and earn the same drops. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

TipUse potions during long grind sessions to speed up clears and multiply XP per hour. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

Team Building

How to build a balanced roster around one carry

CoreOne S-tier carry, one fast attacker and one support covers most world content. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

FlexSwap in world-specific heroes like Frieza Black for boss-heavy zones. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

Co-opIn co-op, coordinate so each player covers a different role instead of stacking carries. This provides reliable long-term stat scaling for all mining runs.

Flex TipSwap supports and fast attackers depending on the world's enemy type, and keep one potion type stocked that matches your carry's damage profile.

Core Mechanics

Prospecting progression follows a clear loop: explore a world, defeat its enemies, collect gems and materials, summon new heroes, and use those heroes to beat harder worlds. Your Power stat is the main gate — stronger heroes, higher ranks and character passives all push it up. Because the game updates frequently, the guides hub is kept in sync with each patch so the leveling order and meta advice stay accurate. The guides also explain how the co-op reward share works, so you can decide whether to grind solo or with a group. We break each system into digestible steps with the resources you need listed up front, and we mark community-reported values so you know what is confirmed and what is still being tested. When a patch changes the level curve or the world order, we update the relevant guides within a few days.

Advantages

Following the Guides hub shortens your learning curve dramatically. Instead of experimenting with every banner and world, you get a tested order of operations that avoids common new-player mistakes like wasting gems on standard summons or grinding in the wrong world. The guides are free-to-play friendly, so every tip works whether you spend or not. With co-op rewards explained, you also know exactly when playing with friends multiplies your progress. Because every guide lists the exact world, level and gear checkpoints, you can measure your progress instead of guessing. The step-by-step format also makes it easy to share with friends who are joining the game late, so your whole group levels together at the same pace. Taking full advantage of these features accelerates your progression and gives your account a competitive edge over casual players.

Challenges

Prospecting changes fast, and guides can fall behind a new update for a short window while editors verify the latest numbers. Some systems, like Rank Up material costs and passive drop rates, are community-reported rather than officially confirmed, so specific values may shift. Beginners should treat guides as a strong starting point but double-check the Updates page whenever a patch drops. The wiki is community-maintained, so a brand-new update may briefly have thinner coverage while editors test the new systems. If a guide references a feature that no longer exists after a patch, check the Updates page or the official Discord for the latest version notes. Failing to plan around these limitations can stall your account growth and waste valuable currency on inefficient intermediate purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do first in Prospecting?+

Claim every active code for free summons, gems and potions before you start grinding, then complete the starting world to learn the combat loop. Summon a few heroes, pick one or two to invest in, and save the rest of your gems for premium or limited banners. Once you have your first few summons, focus on clearing the starting world boss so the next world opens up and better rewards become available.

Is Prospecting playable for free?+

Yes. The free-to-play path is very viable: codes, challenges and co-op rewards provide a steady gem income, and the tier list highlights heroes that are strong without heavy investment. Paid players progress faster, but patient free players can clear every world. The main cost of going free-to-play is time, so plan your daily challenge route and co-op sessions around your available playtime to keep the gem income steady.

How do I get strong fast?+

Follow the progression guide order: redeem codes, level a small core team, unlock new worlds for first-time rewards, then invest in Rank Up and passives once you hit the level cap. Avoid spreading resources across too many heroes early on. Level your carry to the cap before spreading XP across the roster, and use potions during grind sessions to shorten the time between upgrades. Checking community guides and official patch notes regularly ensures you always use optimal strategies for your budget and location goals.

Quick Tips

💡

Always redeem new codes within a few days of an update — codes expire quickly once the developer removes them, and the rewards are the best free gem source in the game. Check the codes page once a week, because a code that works today may be gone after the next patch announcement. Applying this tip consistently during your daily sessions keeps your cash reserves growing steadily while unlocking endgame milestones faster.

💡

Pick one main hero per world instead of leveling everyone. A single strong carry clears content faster and saves gems for summons. A single well-invested carry clears a world faster than a balanced team of under-leveled heroes, so commit your early materials to one fighter. You can always level a second hero later once your main carry has reached the cap and can farm materials on its own.

💡

Save your gems for Premium Summons and limited banners. Standard Summons are tempting early, but the rarity odds on premium banners give better long-term value. Track how many gems each banner costs before you pull, and set a personal budget so you always keep a reserve for the next update's limited banner. Applying this tip consistently during your daily sessions keeps your cash reserves growing steadily while unlocking endgame milestones faster.
