First-hour route (safe order)
| Step | Do this | Why | Deep link |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Install / update from App Store or Google Play | Avoid sideloads | Download |
| 2 | Play the tutorial battle; skip story scenes if offered | The free ★4 Retry Summon appears inside the opening flow | — |
| 3 | Pull the free Retry Summon (★4 guaranteed 10-pull, redraw until happy) and confirm | Community guides (Game8): this comes before Gifts; limited Aizen is outside this pool | Reroll guide |
| 4 | Return to Home (don’t start main story yet) → Gifts / Present → claim all | Banks Ichigo, Rukia, 9,000 gems, five ★3+ tickets | Launch rewards |
| 5 | Set a 3-character team (gift Ichigo/Rukia + whoever you locked) | Official combat is three-character Action Card battles | Combat overview |
| 6 | Play a few story / mission battles without spending gems | Learn cards before currency decisions | Beginner mistakes |
| 7 | Decide: keep account vs reset; then banner priority | Limited window vs permanent opportunity cost | Which banner, tier list |
Roster size: some story stages want 7 characters
Third-party report (Gamerch, checked 2026-10-30): main-story stages can field up to 7 units including the protagonist, and Arena units have a use cooldown. So level a few ★3s as bench, not only your best three. Not yet confirmed in our own play.
What “good enough to keep” looks like (Initial Analysis)
Evidence grade: Initial Analysis (launch week; not a live PvP ladder claim).
- Ideal stop for many community guides: limited Aizen plus a preferred permanent ★4 from retry.
- Acceptable F2P keep: gift Ichigo/Rukia + a ★4 you like + gems saved for Aizen or a later banner.
- Infinite resets that skip 7-day login / beginner-mission gem tracks waste the extra 3,000 + 3,000 Mirror Gems listed in publisher materials.
For sample comps once you keep a roster, see best teams (also Initial Analysis).
Resource decisions in week one
| Resource | Safe habit | Common waste |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror Gems (9,000 gift) | Decide Aizen vs save before dumping into standing pools | Blind celebration pulls |
| Login / beginner-mission gems | Keep one account long enough to collect them | Reset forever |
| Tickets / free summons | Prefer permanent / retry paths when available | Burning paid-feel currency on impulse |
| Invite / Code menu | Treat as referral, not a gift-code list | Pasting personal strings as “ACTIVE codes” |
Codes status: Mirrors High codes (none verified universal as of 2026-10-29). Referral flow: invite codes. Summon types: summons.
Combat primer (official naming only)
From the official site: battles use a team of three, Action Cards, explosively animated Mortal Blows, and coordinated Soul Drive. Avatar / Zanpakuto customization is a listed feature. Draw gauges, Arts affinities, clash math, and exact Soul Drive charge rules are not fully verified on this wiki yet—see combat overview for what is confirmed vs open.
Exceptions and failure cases
- Empty Gifts box: still in tutorial, wrong account, or past the 30-day claim window.
- Region / OS block: check download recommended OS (official FAQ dated 2026/8).
- “I found a working code” blogs: many list personal invite strings; this wiki will not mark those ACTIVE universal.
- Story before Gifts: community guides warn against pushing main story before claiming—confirm your client; official claim path is still Home → Gifts.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do first in Mirrors High?
Install from official stores, reach Home, claim Gifts (★3 Ichigo, ★3 Rukia, 9,000 Mirror Gems), then decide whether to reroll before spending gems on banners.
Are there beginner redeem codes?
As of 2026-10-29 this wiki has confirmed no universal redeem codes. Launch loot is in the Gifts box, not a code string.
Should new players pull Aizen immediately?
Read which-banner-to-pull first. Limited Aizen runs through 2026-11-24 05:59 UTC (14:59 JST); permanent pools stay. Decision depends on your gems and stop conditions.
