Define the group's task
Choose your main method of dealing damage and see who helps others survive the battle or enhances their actions. Read the exact conditions of the abilities: appropriate role names do not guarantee convenient interaction. A small familiar composition allows you to quickly notice what is missing. For the first acquaintance, you do not need to repeat the command from someone else’s account with a different set of characters and equipment.
Improve for observable reason.
If the fight ends too early, first find out what is happening: there is not enough survivability, time or ability to fulfill the condition. Then select an improvement related to that issue. Replacing all items at the same time makes it difficult to understand the result. Retest a familiar encounter after one major adjustment. This makes it easier to see how much the change has impacted the team's resilience and contribution to the fight.
Don't waste resources without purpose
Before developing a new character, look at what task he will solve and who is already performing it in the group. Postponed materials are useful if a clear need arises soon. Don't waste your stock just to have the same levels across your entire collection. For a first pass, the consistency of the composition used usually provides clearer feedback than a large number of half-baked options.
Check the calendar separately from the guide
History, permanent modes and temporary events have different access conditions. Check the deadlines in the client and the official publication of your version. The title of the old material may describe an already completed event. If you are returning after a break, first familiarize yourself with the currently available tasks, then review the old plan. The existing stock of materials and the state of the account are more important than someone else's sequence of actions for a new player.
