After waiting months for ALLFIRING to finally launch, I honestly expected another generic anime gacha that I’d uninstall after an hour. Instead, the game surprised me way more than I expected.
The visuals are ridiculously polished, combat feels far more active than standard turn-based gachas, and the overall vibe instantly reminded me of a mix between Goddess Order and an action RPG. That said, the game also throws players into the deep end immediately with barely any explanation.
So if you’re confused about rerolling, summoning, progression, or whether you should even reroll at all, here’s everything I learned during the opening hours.
ALLFIRING Beginner Guide – Best Start, Reroll Tips
How Long Does It Take to Unlock Summons?
This is the first thing most players want to know.
Based on the current launch version, it takes roughly:
| Unlock Feature | Approximate Time |
|---|---|
| First Summon Access | 15–20 minutes |
| Main City Unlock | Around 15 minutes |
| Full Menu Access | Shortly after city arrival |
The game pushes story progression extremely aggressively early on, so you won’t immediately have access to banners, events, or most menus.
You’ll spend the first section:
- Exploring caves
- Learning combat basics
- Unlocking dodges and supers
- Meeting story characters
- Reaching the main city
Only after that does the summon system properly open.
ALLFIRING Reroll Guide
Right now, rerolling is possible, but it’s honestly slower than most gachas.
Step-by-Step Reroll Process
1. Finish the Tutorial
You’ll need to progress through the opening story until reaching the main city and unlocking the summon feature.
Skipping story scenes speeds this up significantly.
2. Claim Mail Rewards
Once the mailbox unlocks:
- Open the mail section
- Claim pre-registration rewards
- Collect free summon currency
Launch rewards currently feel a little limited compared to other gacha launches, so don’t expect hundreds of pulls immediately.
3. Use Your Free Summons
The game gives:
- Tutorial pulls
- Early summon currency
- Event rewards
- Beginner banner access
Purple rarity characters appear to be higher-tier units currently.
4. Decide if the Account Is Worth Keeping
If you don’t get characters you want, the current reroll method appears to involve:
- Restarting the account
- Reinstalling or resetting progress
There doesn’t currently seem to be an instant guest-reset reroll button.
Is Rerolling Worth It?
Honestly? Maybe.
The early game feels skill-based enough that you can progress even without perfect pulls, especially since combat relies heavily on dodging and player control.
Still, strong characters obviously help.
If you care about long-term optimization, rerolling for a higher rarity unit is probably worth the time investment.
If you just want to enjoy the story and gameplay, you can honestly start playing immediately without stressing too much.
First Impressions of Combat
This was probably the biggest surprise.
Combat actually feels responsive.
You can:
- Dodge attacks
- Chain combos
- Use heavy strikes
- Trigger cinematic supers
- Swap characters dynamically
Some characters instantly felt better than others too.
The samurai-style girl especially felt incredibly smooth to play compared to some of the earlier starter characters.
Meanwhile, certain supers felt kind of underwhelming.
Things the Game Doesn’t Explain Well
ALLFIRING throws menus and systems at you pretty quickly once the city unlocks.
Some important systems include:
| System | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Companions | Character management |
| Codex | Character info and lore |
| Events | Login rewards and progression |
| Board Game Shop | Summoning system |
| Formation | Team setup |
| Anchor Points | Travel/save system |
A lot of these unlock progressively during story progression.
Beginner Tips for New Players
Don’t Ignore Dodging
Dodging matters way more than face-tanking damage.
A lot of enemies telegraph attacks clearly, and learning dodge timing early makes combat much smoother.
Explore Before Rushing Objectives
There are hidden chests, materials, and optional fights scattered throughout the early areas.
The game rewards exploration more than most people expect.
Test Multiple Characters
Some characters feel dramatically better depending on your playstyle.
A slower heavy hitter may feel terrible to one player and amazing to another.
Save Premium Currency Early
Unless you’re fully committed to rerolling, it’s usually smarter to save summon currency until stronger banners or meta characters appear.
Launch banners in gachas age quickly.
The game still has some rough edges, and not everyone will love the action-focused combat, but the presentation is seriously impressive.
The environments look great, animations are smooth, and the combat already feels more engaging than a lot of recent mobile RPG launches.
The biggest concern right now is long-term content and banner quality, since games like this sometimes struggle with staying power after launch hype fades.
But as a first impression?
Pretty solid start.
