Could you explain this to me? If something is coming up soon I really want to take advantage of it.
In about 90 minutes, certain monsters will have a higher chance of coming out of the Rare Egg Machine (REM). Of these monsters, one of them is pretty much THE starting monster - Horus. Without explaining the game mechanics, just know that he a) makes you a better player by forcing you to focus on combos and b) isn't so difficult that a new player can't pick up on how to take advantage of him.
When you start the game, you have to do a basic tutorial. It takes about 5-10 minutes to get through the initial loading screen and up to the end of the tutorial. At the end of the tutorial, you're given 5 magic stones. These magic stones are used to roll the REM (among other things). It costs 5 stones to pull the REM.
The monster you get out of the REM is your "starter". If you don't get a good starter, delete the app and do it all again. Getting a good starter monster is CRUCIAL to getting a lot out of this game without spending TOO much money (you can always find a reason to spend a little, ha).
Long story short - if you want to start playing, at 11 EST (8 PST) tonight would the time to start. Keep trying the tutorial until you get either: Horus, Archangel Lucifer, or Incarnation of Kirin. If you get either of those three monsters, you're gold.
