Want to jump into "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Ce Ding Jiu Zhou" during the anniversary without spending money right away? Let me walk you through the newbie benefits first—let’s grab those freebies!
Highlights for newcomers during this anniversary include consecutive sign-in rewards, free pulls from the anniversary pool, and reimbursement events for monthly cards and battle passes on themed servers.
New players should first check out the Alliance Preparation event starting on September 28 to gather comrades. If you want to get familiar with the controls beforehand, you can create a character to try it out, then bind that character to participate in the card collection skin event. Bound characters can be re-bound later; follow the instructions on the event page. It's recommended to create a new character on the Intangible Cultural Heritage themed server, as there will be exclusive events to join later.
If you're confused about team compositions or unsure which events to prioritize, discuss with your alliance members to avoid common pitfalls. For first-time SLG players, learning to cooperate with allies and understanding your own teams will bring more enjoyment than rushing for rankings.
Here’s a summary of key event timings for new players:
Starting September 20: Collector's Edition Skin Event. Participate in card collections and complete corresponding tasks to earn a free skin upon meeting the conditions.
Starting October 1: 14 consecutive days of sign-in rewards. Rewards include Juyi Ling, Ingots, Advanced Star Stone Chests, and Wish Points, plus a chance to obtain dynamic skins.
Starting October 10: Intangible Cultural Heritage Warship Main City Skin Event. Players who love cosmetics can check out the quests to claim a thousand-yuan skin for free upon completion. It's a deal you won't regret.
Starting October 11: Free pulls from the Anniversary Pool. The drop rate for the Three Emperors is increased in the Anniversary Pool. Unlock the event through Power Value, with up to 50 pulls available. Don't miss it, or you'll have to wait another year.
Another attractive feature for light-spending players is the event on the new Intangible Cultural Heritage themed server. Reach Main City Level 18 on the themed server to get your monthly card and battle pass reimbursed.
If you were already planning to spend a small amount, check out this event before choosing a server. However, "reimbursement" doesn't mean free-to-play players can claim it directly, nor does it apply to all servers. Newcomers might consider buying a Small Monthly Card to try it out; this will significantly enhance your gaming experience and qualify you for official reimbursement.
After receiving event resources, the most common mistake newbies make is trying to upgrade Everythinggj they see.
Changing direction every time you pull a general, or copying strategies from every battle report you see, will scatter your resources, leaving every team slightly underpowered. With a limited budget, it's better to assess what you already have and combine it with current season beginner guides to establish one main team.
In the early stages, focus on three goals: familiarize yourself with the main storyline and building upgrades, figure out your main team composition, and complete any anniversary tasks available. If you're missing a core unit, don't rush to spend money right away; first, make the most of your current lineup.
"Master Three Kingdoms strategy with a hundred-yuan budget" doesn't mean you'll collect all popular generals with just that amount. A more realistic goal is for free-to-play players to experience the full growth process first, and then invest as needed if you enjoy it.
For this anniversary celebration, my recommended order is: prepare and bind your character first, then participate in sign-ins, card collections, and anniversary summons. Decide your development direction based on the generals you actually obtain, and only then consider whether to spend money.
Free-to-play players have their own starting strategies, and monthly card subscribers also have events worth checking out. We welcome all newcomers to join the Three Kingdoms battlefield in "Ce Ding Jiu Zhou" and experience the joy of free-movement marching with us.
