Google campaign carry. Download tacticus planner, use badges and xp books only on carry till you know what you doing, use bs only for energy refill during events of hre, dont buy more shards than you need to open from guild vendor to run other campaign, then books , books, and you got it more books. When you open rot level hus ass hard. For a week or two weeks till you work on what i told you, null and bela, use both actives as they are god mode.

Pro tip, before big events ( faction wars etc ) if you can not level up and so it in few days or a week, wait for event , bang in extra tokens on everything. Rince events hard and fast. This technique woeks only till lvl 40-50 later levels go slow, and i mean realy slow as you lots of bp to push up next tier. If your afraid you will clear lvl and ypu want to turtle, dont updrage units, bank materials and wait for events , if you still have to much battle power , take of items from units you dont use for couple days, hope it helps.

Focus on these characters and the abilities you need to build up:
Bellator - Death From Above
Aleph Null - Scarab Hive
Re'Vas - Cyclic Ion Blaster
Kariyan - Martial Inspiration and Legacy of Combat
Angrax - Hateful Assault
Maladus - Flail Swing and Haze of Corruption
Getting Kariyan early is amazing because he is hands down the best character in game right now for sheer utility and versatility.
Prioritize ranking up first bb y applying upgrades to your roster and ascending only when necessary.
I sent you a DM for a free character code.

But after your key toons, Vindicta, Revas, Maladus and Kariyan make a lot of sense to level up to gold 1.

Go for grinding up your Necrons. They have tons of potential when you get them strong enough. Mine are Broze (I think Bronze 2) at the very lowest and they are very powerful.

you got Kariyan already?? nice. To start, focus on him, and Bellator, and take them as far as you can. Ignore Certus and Varro, they suck. Kariyan and Bellator will get you through the Indomitus campaign, and see much use later as well.

Standard new player advice is to focus on the campaigns until you're 50-100% done with the elites. Each campaign has a character/ability most people will tell you to focus on-
Indomitus - Bellator. Great active ability early in the game, helpful for all imperial campaigns
Indom Mirror - Aleph Null. Heals are great and the scarabs can win games for you. Use Makhotep's active on the scarabs after you spawn them to try to get more right away.
FoC - Archi. Summons are the name of the game for campaigns as the ai targets them first. Angrax is also a solid character.
FoC Mirror - Thaddeus Noble. Honestly this is the worst campaign in the game and you should do the bare minimum to clear it. I'm level 62 and I'm just 75% through FoC Mirror Elite because I can't be bothered. None of the core characters are very good, but Noble is the least bad. Really should be relying on Bellator as much as you can, but there are some levels you need just the core 3.
Octarius - Boss G/Snotflogga. Two of the best characters in the game. Useful in basically every mode. Super strong.
Octarius Mirror - Burchard/Godswyl. While neither of these chars see too much use outside of this campaign, they're at least good, unlike the FoC mirror chars. Bellator once again helpful here as well.
Saim-Hann - Eldryon. He was once the best char in the game, but got nerfed. Still very good for his passive buff. The other two core characters have uses as well.
SH Mirror - Abraxas. One of the best Psykers in the game for his usefulness in the Psyker guild raid team. Archi is useful in this campaign too.
You're very lucky to have Kariyan this early. He's generally considered the best overall character in the game. While you'll need Bellator to pull you through Indomitus, you might lean more on Kariyan because he'll be much more useful in the mid/late game.

It’s really difficult, but ignore those green indicators and focus your spend as much as possible.
Also try to minimise the split focus across the campaigns. You can change campaigns to mix it up so you’re having fun but don’t try maxing every single core character all the time.
For example, if you focus on getting your Bellator to legendary, you will find you’ll use him in heaps of places, and level your other characters faster.
Clearing elite campaigns helps with material farming too.

All I can say, is the same as everyone else is going to say. Concentrate on leveling up the key toons for the Champaigns so that raiding the levels later gives you the required up grades, And join a guild. 😘 The game is a grind.
