Some beginner tips and information about heroes and gears that may help people that are not yet aware:

• Prioritize improving your 1st squad over others as your 1st squad power is your actual power in almost all the events and fights in the game.
  There are multiple categories that heroes fall under. I am sure everyone is already aware of SR (blue) - Purple (SSR) - Legendary (UR) heroes. Prioritize improving your UR heroes above others.

• The 2nd category is the hero vehicle type, Tank - Missile - Aircraft. Many people are not aware but the vehicle types play a significant role during combat.Tanks receive %20 less damage from Missiles. Missiles receive %20 less damage from Aircrafts. Aircrafts receive %20 less damage from Tanks.
  There are also bonuses applied to your marches based on how many heroes of each vehicle type you are running. 3 heroes of same type = %5 hp/atk/def bonus. 3 heroes of one type and 2 of another = %10 bonus. 4 heroes of same type = %15 bonus. 5 heroes of same type = %20 bonus

• The 3rd category is the hero battle type, Defense (shield icon) - Attack (fire icon) - Support (cross icon). When setting up your squads it is important to put Defense heroes at the front row and attack and support heroes at the back row. That being said, this may change during the Wanted (Big Boss / Frankenstein) event as you may not need to run defense heroes on that event if your best dmg dealing setup does not include one.

• While leveling up your hero gears prioritize maximizing offensive gear on your Atk heroes (the ones that go on the left), and defensive gear (the ones that go on the right) on your Def heroes. Support heroes can go either way depending on their skills.

• You can always dismantle your gear to get your crafting components and upgrade ores back. This is super useful as you may dismantle your lvled up purple gear on your 2nd, 3rd and 4th squads to improve your legendary gear on 1st squad.
