Illusion Connect Re Beginner Tips — 15 Essential Strategies for New Players
Updated 2026-06-04
15 Beginner Tips for Illusion Connect Re
Starting Illusion Connect Re can be overwhelming. There are multiple currencies, several game modes, and over 50 Illusionists to collect. These tips will help you avoid common pitfalls and accelerate your progression.
Tip 1: Reroll Strategically
Do not settle for your first 10-pull. Follow our reroll-guide to secure an S-tier SSR before spending a single Diamond. The top reroll targets are characters that remain viable throughout the entire game lifecycle.

Tip 2: Save Diamonds for Limited Banners
The standard banner is a Diamond sink. Save your premium currency for limited-time rate-up banners. Our gacha-system guide explains the banner rotation schedule so you can plan ahead.
Tip 3: Build a Balanced Team
Every team needs at least one Guard, one Healer, and two damage dealers (Attacker or Sorcerer). The fifth slot is flexible. Refer to our best-team-compositions guide for proven team archetypes.
Essential Tips Summary
- Complete all daily missions every day. The cumulative rewards are massive.
- Join a Guild on Day 1 for passive currency income.
- Do not enhance gear past +6 until you reach Chapter 8. You will replace it quickly.
- Use sweep tickets on material stages after clearing them once manually.
- Level only 5 main Illusionists. Spreading resources thins your progression.
- Check the codes-and-redeem page weekly for new redemption codes.
- Awaken only meta units identified in our awakening-guide.
- Focus on one Soul Bond Guide setup rather than trying to activate multiple.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
New players often upgrade too many Illusionists, ignore the Soul Bond Guide system, or waste Diamonds on standard banners. Our resource-management guide has a complete breakdown of what to spend and what to hoard.

FAQ
- What is the first thing I should do in Illusion Connect Re?
- Complete the tutorial, reroll for a strong SSR, then push the [Story Campaign Guide](/guides/story-campaign-guide/) as far as possible to unlock all game modes.
- How many Illusionists should I level?
- Focus on exactly 5 main Illusionists for your core team. Leveling more than 5 spreads your resources too thin during the early game.
- Should I spend real money on the game?
- The monthly pass offers the best value if you plan to spend. The battle pass is also good. Avoid one-time gem packs as they have poor value per dollar.
