Tribe Nine guide - 7 essential tips

Let's start by covering farming in Tribe Nine. Farming is something you will do by heading on to the overworld, finding a location of your liking, and then playing it time and time again. Farming is quite literally a grind. To farm, you will need to find a location that has plenty of enemies, and then keep playing and replaying that location several times.

Ideally, you also want to use your boosters. Go to the Rifts, find the location that you enjoy, and then get to farming. You'll need to farm quite a bit to upgrade all of your characters, so consider this as well whenever you decide which character you'll play.

Loot everything!

Something else you should consider when farming is that you can pick up a large number of items. From looking through the overflowing trash cans to looting old TVs, I suggest you pick everything. It's better to have some extra items than to be missing them later on. These items are needed to power up your Tension Cards, so eventually, you're going to need quite a few.

I can't even begin to describe how frustrating it was for me when I first reached the final boss of chapter 1, and then immediately died. I believe I'm not the only one, and this taught me the greatest lesson of Tribe Nine: this gacha ain't easy!

Something you need to be very well aware of is that you'll end up dying quite a few times until you manage to get a grasp of everything that is going on. The fast-paced battles are intense, and you always need to be on your guard, either to defend against an opponent, or to attack at the right time.

All of this is learned by playing a battle time and time again, which might be quite counter-intuitive in most gachas. In some games, you simply have to aim for better characters, whereas here, you just have to focus on your skills. That's where the beauty of Tribe Nine lies.

My suggestion is to learn from every battle you fight and master a character's skills as best as you can. After that, you will find that enemies will be a lot easier to defeat.

You've probably noticed that in the PvE-exploration part, you can interact with pretty much all of your environment. You can destroy boxes, search trash cans and even open mysterious chests. The best part is, you can also discover some graffiti hidden throughout all the chapters. Each chapter has a set number of them, and whenever you discover one, you'll be rewarded with Enigma Entity.

I suggest you take your time when you finish playing a chapter (or even throughout) to go and explore every area. You should be able to find all the graffiti and get enough Enigma Entity for a couple of gacha summons.

Tribe Nine doesn't have your typical gear/equipment system, so to make up for that, the Tension Card system was implemented. Tension Cards are items (cards) you can equip and grant you specific bonuses based on the level of Tension you reach (the Tension gauge within battles). You can have up to 5 of them equipped, and I recommend you read them all before you equip them.

By default, you'll start with some beginner ones, but once you pull in the gacha a few times, you'll be able to unlock a few. In the gacha, you not only pull for characters, but also Tension Cards, so whenever you receive something you like, you should equip it.

Make sure the TCs you pick CAN be used - for instance, if you never reach EX Tension, you shouldn't even bother equipping cards that grant you bonuses upon reaching EX. I know - it's a lot of little details you need to take into account, but trust me, they'll make your fights a lot easier!

You can have a team of up to 3 characters. You don't have to play with Yo Kuronaka necessarily (the default character), so don't invest in him right away. Unless you want to, of course. I suggest you first check every character, including the tier list I shared above, and learn their playstyles.

Decide if you prefer melee or ranged, and then decide which ones you want to play. You can control a single one at a time, so in my opinion, the best thing you could do is master one character that you enjoy and allow them to carry you through the chapters. Learn exactly how you should move based on what enemies you're facing and their ideal skill order, and only then should you spend your resources on levelling them up.

To level up and ascend your characters, you'll need A LOT of resources, and for that, you will also need to farm. So, don't make a decision lightly to avoid regretting it later on.

Enigma Entity is the main currency, and is also the one you need in the gacha. If you started by following the tier list and you rerolled a couple of times, that's great. You can start saving your Enigma Entity afterwards because more characters will be released, and whenever a character is added and you actually want to get them, you'll need a lot of Enigma Entity.

I suggest saving all of your EEs after the initial gacha/rerolll pulls, because you don't have to max out a character in order to play through the first stages. Go collect more EE, and then when you have enough, go do 10x summons.

Tribe Nine is not one of those games where you have to pull out your wallet in order to be the best. Instead, here it all comes down to skill and time invested, which are both things money can't buy. If you want to get good, you need to put in the effort. There are things you can buy, but it's as F2P-friendly as they come.

You don't have to spend money, but if you really want to, you have options. The one I recommend the most is the Daily Pass, which is going to give you 60 Free Enigma Entity every day for 30 days. That is half a pull per day, so if you want to spend some money, that's the only thing worth the bucks at the moment.
