Eternal Evolution is known for its beautiful graphics and semi-idle gameplay. In this game, your ship was heavily damaged and now you and your team of heroes are off fighting giant monsters that live on the planet you are stuck on. You can spend time recruiting more heroes to battle with you, upgrading the ones you have, placing your team out perfectly, using their charged moves, and gathering resources. 

Eternal Evolution is a massive game, with a lot of story, many stages, and so many heroes to recruit. It becomes a game of trying out heroes, picking your favourites, then levelling them up and giving them the best armour you have so that they can take on bigger and stronger enemies. To make sure you have the right characters, you can visit the tier list for Eternal Evolution, where we have ranked each one!

As this game is so massive and has a lot going on, we have created this beginner's guide to give you some tips and tricks to lead you in the right direction. 

As Eternal Evolution is a game that can be completely played on auto - your heroes attacking and moving onto the next level with you interacting with them - it is important to know what you are doing so that you can get the most out of your team and ensure they are on a good path to victory even without your full attention. There are quite a few ways you can keep your team ready for battle and ensure that you are getting the most out of the auto-features that are present in the game - as long as you collect resources and don't forget to adjust your team whenever you get to new areas or unlock something more powerful to use. 

Let's get into our tips and tricks for starting off in Eternal Evolution, so that you can dive into the game and fight your way to victory!

Tip #1 - Position Wisely

You are able to position five heroes on the battlefield across a three-by-two grid. You can put two heroes in front, two in the middle and two at the back, though as there can only be a total of five, one row will only have one hero if you are putting all five out.

You will need to consider the charged attack range of your heroes when placing them out on the field, especially if you are primarily looking to play with auto-attack. Ensuring that your attacking heroes are close enough to the enemies but behind tank heroes can help you go further in the game, and making sure long-range and healing heroes are more towards the back can help keep them alive to boost you and do more damage.

Tip #2 - Auto vs Manual play

It is so tempting to just put the game on auto, upgrade whenever you can, and let Eternal Evolution play for you, but when it comes to bosses or more hardcore enemies, you will need to help your heroes out. You can see in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen when your heroes light up that you should use their attacks. Some heroes work well on auto, especially those that don't need such a delicate aim or ones that are just used to heal your team.

However, sometimes it's good to turn off auto-attack on select enemies and make sure that you are the one positioning their attacks, so that you can make the most out of it. This is especially useful when you have enemies who are hatching out of eggs, as killing them before they hatch is much more useful than after they have fully spawned in.

Tip #3 - Get to know your Heroes

There are a lot of unique aspects to each and every hero that you recruit. They have different upgrades, different skills, and different charged attacks. When you start to build out your team, it is worth exploring the various heroes that you have and planning out your team wisely. Having a balanced team that is able to attack, heal, and defend itself is important, and spending time to learn about your new heroes - as well as keeping your older heroes upgraded - is a very large part of the game.

There is a rarity level to the heroes within this game, and you can use Rare heroes to get Elite heroes by fusing them. You can also get rid of some of your common heroes for coins to help get more powerful heroes. Keeping around heroes that aren't helping your team is never a good thing.

It is also worth noting that you can reset one of your Heroes, gaining back everything that you had to spend to level them up. This means that you can power up a well-needed hero when you have no other option, then reset them to power up a better one when you recruit them!

Tip #4 - Check your stats

Heroes have two to four skills depending on how rare they are, with at least one basic attack and one passive attack. If you spend time checking out your heroes' skills, you can figure out what equipment is best to pair with them, creating a better skill set with the items that you can use as you are playing. Eternal Evolution does direct you to put items that feel like a common choice for a specific hero on them - ones that fit that hero's class or skill, displaying a Thumbs Up icon on it when equipped.

There is no real point in not putting equipment on your heroes, so if you are playing in auto, do check in regularly and make sure that the treasure that you have been gaining is well used.

Tip #5 - Level Up your Heroes

Levelling up your heroes does cost resources, but it is the best way to make them more powerful and allow them to take on greater enemies. Once you have hit the level threshold for a specific hero, the Level Up button is gone and an Advance button is there. To Advance a hero, you will need Soul Rubellites, which are rarer than the gold and XP needed to level one up. Advancing a hero will give them a new skill or upgrade a skill they currently have, which can make them much more powerful.

Tip #6 - Follow the red dots

Whenever you log into the game, you will find there are a lot of red dots around the screen. Often, these lead to areas where you can collect rewards and bonuses. Things like your daily login bonus are well worth collecting, even if you do not have time to play for that day. These rewards can give you resources, new equipment and heroes to add to your team. Free items are always good and in a game about collecting resources, you can never have enough of them.

Tip #7 - Check Resource Packs

When you get a Resource Pack, you will find that it is set for a specific amount of hours, not a specific amount of loot. Using them early on in your game, before you have progressed through some of the main campaigns, will be a waste as when you play more of the main campaign, you will see that your Idle Rewards chest will pay out more loot. Keeping these resource packs until you are further in your campaign or until you need a boost to really upgrade your heroes is the best way to make the most of them!
