It can be unclear how to progress in the most efficient way when first starting out in Disney Mirrorverse, but there are some easy methods that can help players quickly unlock strong Guardians and build a powerful team. Completing missions, saving up different currencies, and taking advantage of the free resources available to all players can significantly improve power levels without requiring any microtransactions.

Disney Mirrorverse introduces a completely new story with redesigned characters from classic or modern Disney and Pixar movies. Both heroes and villains band together to defeat a new enemy, the Fractured. To complete combat encounters, players will select a team of up to three Guardians and control one while the other two fight automatically. The active Guardian can be switched at any time during a combat encounter by tapping a different character's icon.

While fighting in Disney Mirrorverse with classic characters, players can also optimize their rewards by deliberately completing specific activities and missions. It's also important that players use their resources strategically to avoid wasting items or causing delays in increasing a Guardian team's collective power level. These best practices will help players level up their Guardians, unlock characters with high star ratings, and create a set of strong, diverse Guardian combinations.

Complete Missions That Reward Crystals In Disney Mirrorverse

Many missions, including daily, journey, and limited-time tasks, award different types of Crystals that unlock new or duplicate Guardians. Focusing on missions that award Crystals early on will help players build up their roster and increase the star ratings of already unlocked Guardians. Whenever a duplicate Guardian is acquired, it turns into character shards that can increase the star rating if enough are collected. Only two duplicate Guardians are needed to get a one-star character, such as Aladdin in Disney Mirrorverse, to two stars, but the amount increases with each new star rating.

To check which missions award Crystals, players can open the menu using the button in the top-right corner, then scroll through the daily missions, journey milestones, achievements, and special event tasks. Each mission has a description with the rewards listed on the right side. Some of the missions take a lot longer, but there are several tasks that players can complete early, as well as one mission every day, that will earn them a decent amount of Crystals in a short amount of time.

Save Orbs For Famed Crystals In Disney Mirrorverse

Missions also award a lot of Orbs, and they can be awarded for combat encounters or event matches as well. Orbs can be used to replenish energy or purchase a variety of items in the Bazaar. However, since a lot of Orbs are earned at the start of the game, it's better to save them and open Famed Crystals. Each Famed Crystal costs 280 Orbs, but they can potentially get players a five-star Guardian. To play Disney Mirrorverse without spending money and still obtain a five-star Guardian, players will either need to try their luck with Famed Crystals are obtain a large number of duplicate characters. Orbs are very easy to earn in the beginning, but they become more scarce later on. Saving up Orbs is one of the ways players can enhance their team's power.

Check The Bazaar Frequently In Disney Mirrorverse

The Bazaar refreshes with free rewards several times a day. Additionally, when the Bazaar refreshes, players also have the option of refreshing it one more time for a second free reward. Free rewards can be energy potions, talent books, Gold, or other valuable items. Along with free items, the Bazaar is always stocked with materials and resources to get in Disney Mirrorverse, such as Orbs, Motes for leveling up Guardians, or Gold cosmetics like Frames and Decorators.

Everything that isn't free in the Bazaar will cost Orbs or Gold, so players have an easy way to get some extra resources when they're out of energy. Orbs are usually better spent on Crystals, but resources can sometimes be purchased to quickly level up a Guardian instead of waiting to complete more encounters. Players should check the Bazaar to claim their free items as often as possible.

Don't Upgrade Every Guardian In Disney Mirrorverse

A few Guardians are given to players for free at the start of the game, but not all of them should be leveled up. If players are able to complete some encounters without leveling their Guardians, it could be beneficial to save up resources instead of using them on each Guardian at every opportunity. If resources are saved, players will be able to focus on three-star or higher Guardians in Disney Mirrorverse and level them fast as soon as they're obtained. Three-, four-, and five-star characters will eventually be necessary to meet the required power levels for more difficult combat encounters.

Join An Alliance Early In Disney Mirrorverse

One of the best things to do is join an Alliance because there are always active missions that give rewards for milestones. Players can complete Alliance missions passively because points are awarded for nearly every activity in the game. However, players can also scroll through the objectives for each mission to determine which activities will give them the most points and focus on those. Some Alliance missions refresh daily, and others last for a week or more. Alliances can be joined or created after completing some of the story mode encounters, and each group can have up to 20 members. After joining an Alliance, players will start earning Laurels in Disney Mirrorverse, which can be used to buy a variety of items, including Donald and Goofy.

Craft Timekeeper Crystals Often In Disney Mirrorverse

As more story mode encounters are completed, players will be introduced to new features, including Timekeeper Crystal crafting. At first, a two-hour Crystal can be crafted, then they go up to four, eight, and twelve hours. Although all Crystals have a rare chance of awarding a Guardian, choosing the ones that take longer offers the possibility of getting a five-star character. The two-hour Crystal can only give two-star Guardians. The chances of getting a five-star Guardian are low, but it's at least still possible if a twelve-hour Crystal is crafted. Players can change up which Crystals they craft depending on their needs. For example, if resources are needed urgently, two-hour Crystals are better to use.

Complete Encounters On Hard Or Expert Mode In Disney Mirrorverse

Hard and Expert difficulty encounters won't be unlocked right away, but they can be helpful later on. Depending on how much the playable characters in Disney Mirrorverse are leveled up, players may reach a point on Normal difficulty where their power level is too low to advance. However, going back to chapter one and switching to Hard mode will give players more opportunities to complete encounters and gather resources. Even if players are stuck on chapter six on Normal, they can still complete a few chapters on Hard before being blocked by a similar power level. The same thing is true for switching from Hard to Expert mode. There are a lot of options to explore in Disney Mirrorverse, but some missions and encounters will make leveling up much easier, so players should complete activities strategically.
