idk if this is relevant but you CAN equip light cones that are the wrong path on your characters, you just don't get the light cone's description bonus
the other main beginner tip is rn i wouldn't worry too much about the details of the characters/their kits, just worry about matching an enemy's weakness to the characters you're bringing into a fight
it's good to know roughly how the abundance or preservation characters work because those are the healers/shielders, but they tend to be rather straightforward in general
you don't understand in the space of one patch i went from "i hate him, i loathe him, i want him off my screen" to "this is my blorbo babygirl who has done everything wrong"
oh yeah, idk if you're like me and didn't bother reading to figure out what all the paths mean but
destruction: general dps, can do solo and AOE hits and usually have a bit of HP manip in their kits erudition: AOE attackers, have kits that incentivize hitting multiple enemies the hunt: solo attackers, they basically only hit 1 enemy at a time really hard
you do need to know how to build a team in this game, but if you're just clearing the story it's about as far as making sure your characters can live in a fight LOL
okay, in fairness i don't play other gacha games so idk if hoyo games are different, but i did play fgo and they used items to level so i thought that might be a gacha standard
destruction: general dps, can do solo and AOE hits and usually have a bit of HP manip in their kits
erudition: AOE attackers, have kits that incentivize hitting multiple enemies
the hunt: solo attackers, they basically only hit 1 enemy at a time really hard
preservation: shielders
