Echoes of Heian Beginner Guide
Start here if you are new to Echoes of Heian. The safest early route is simple: learn combat, reach level 7, redeem codes, pick Samurai, Berserker, or Rogue, then follow one beginner build direction instead of wasting spins randomly.
Beginner Route: Level 7 → Codes → Class → Build
This page now focuses on one executable path. Do these steps in order before chasing rare drops, PvP meta, or expensive rerolls.
Learn movement and basic combat first.
Spend the first few minutes testing movement, attacks, blocking, spacing, and starter objectives. Do not reroll before you know how the game feels.
Follow starter progression until level 7.
Public code guides report that Echoes of Heian codes require level 7. Treat level 7 as the first real checkpoint for new saves.
Redeem current codes immediately after the checkpoint.
Codes can provide Race Spins and Horse Spins. Open the codes page, copy current codes, then return to your save before codes expire.
Save spins until you know your class direction.
Race results and mount rewards matter more when they support a plan. Avoid spending every spin just because you received them.
Choose Samurai, Berserker, or Rogue.
Pick Samurai for the safest melee start, Berserker for pressure, or Rogue for speed and PvP movement.
Lock one beginner build goal.
Most new players should start balanced PvE, then branch into boss farming or PvP after combat basics feel consistent.

Beginner build →Which Class Should a Beginner Pick?
These are beginner-facing recommendations based on playstyle. They are not final endgame rankings because Alpha balance can change.
Samurai
Best for learning direct melee fundamentals, spacing, and stable PvE progression before branching into harder content.
- Recommended first class
- Balanced beginner route
- Pairs well with starter build planning
Berserker
Best if you enjoy pressure and close-range offense. It can feel stronger once you are comfortable with combat basics.
- Pressure-focused style
- Good for confident melee players
- Less forgiving than Samurai
Rogue
Best for players who care about mobility, positioning, and PvP movement more than simple trading.
- Mobility-focused identity
- Better after learning enemy patterns
- Good PvP learning path
Codes and Spins: What Beginners Should Know
Codes are the fastest early boost because public code pages report Race Spins and Horse Spins as common rewards.
Reach Level 7 First
Public code guides report a level 7 redemption requirement. If the code box fails, continue starter progression and try again after the checkpoint.
Redeem New Codes Early
Codes can expire quickly in Alpha. Check the codes page first, then redeem the current list before spending time on longer farming routes.
Use Race Spins With a Target
Race Spins can affect your character foundation, so do not roll randomly before choosing Samurai, Berserker, Rogue, or a clear build goal.
Treat Horse Spins as Convenience
Horse Spins are useful for mount-related rewards and travel comfort, but they should not distract from your main class and combat setup.
Early Progression Priority Table
Use this order to keep your first save clean. The goal is to build a stable foundation before chasing rare drops or PvP clips.
| Priority | What to Do | Why It Matters | Best Next Page |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Learn movement, blocking, and basic attacks | You need combat fundamentals before class or spin choices make sense. | Beginner Route |
| 2 | Reach the reported level 7 code checkpoint | This prepares your save for code redemption and early rewards. | Codes & Spins |
| 3 | Redeem current codes | Free Race Spins and Horse Spins are strongest when used before heavy build planning. | Codes |
| 4 | Pick Samurai, Berserker, or Rogue | Your class defines your combat style and changes which starter build feels natural. | Classes |
| 5 | Follow one beginner build | A focused setup wastes fewer spins and makes progression easier. | Beginner Build |
Best First Build Direction
You do not need a perfect endgame setup on day one. You need one direction that teaches combat without wasting spins.
Balanced PvE Start
Best for most new players. Choose Samurai or another comfortable class, then focus on survivability, consistent damage, and predictable combat habits.
Boss Farming Start
Good once your foundation is stable. Do not rush rare drops before you can handle enemy patterns and survive mistakes.
PvP Learning Start
Good if you enjoy fighting other players, but expect early losses while learning spacing, mobility, cooldowns, and matchup timing.
Common Beginner Mistakes
Avoid these early mistakes to save spins, time, and frustration.
Rerolling Before You Know Your Build
Do not burn all Race Spins immediately. Decide your class and preferred playstyle first, then reroll with a target in mind.
Copying PvP Builds Too Early
PvP builds can be strong but demanding. New players usually progress faster with a stable PvE or balanced setup first.
Ignoring Official Update Channels
Alpha games change quickly. Patch notes, Discord announcements, and Trello updates can affect classes, abilities, bosses, and codes.
Farming Rare Drops Too Soon
Rare gear is useful, but early levels are better spent unlocking systems, learning combat, and building a stable foundation.

These are the most common ways new players waste time, resources, or momentum in the first few hours of Echoes of Heian.
Trying to Learn Race Spins Before Choosing a Class
Race traits benefit some classes more than others. Spending Race Spins on a random result before you know whether you are playing Samurai, Berserker, or Rogue means you might end up with a Race built for mobility (better on Rogue) when you later decide you prefer Berserker's close-range pressure. Hold all Spins until your class direction is clear.
Missing Codes Because You Started Playing Before Redeeming Them
Code redemption requires Level 7. Many players hit Level 7, keep playing, and forget to stop and redeem. Every code you delay is potentially a code you miss if it expires. Make "redeem codes at Level 7" a hard checkpoint — stop questing, open the codes page, copy every code, then resume.
Starting PvP Before Your Class Feels Comfortable
Echoes of Heian PvP involves reading opponent animations, managing spacing, and making fast decisions under pressure. Doing all of that while simultaneously learning your own class mechanics is overwhelming. Spend at least a session in PvE getting comfortable with your class before entering competitive player content.
Switching Classes Too Early Because It Feels Hard
Every class has a learning curve. Switching to a different class after a few bad fights usually just resets the learning curve without solving the underlying issue, which is usually mechanical — spacing, timing, blocking — rather than class-specific. Stick with your chosen class long enough to understand what it is actually supposed to do before considering a switch.
