Start Girls’ Frontline 2 with a small team
OtaHub recommends finishing the tutorial before deciding to reset your account. Use the T-Dolls you have received, the game’s combat characters, to learn movement and skills. Once recruitment gives you more options, choose who will deal most of your damage.
For four-character stages, start with a main damage dealer, a healer and two characters who add damage or protection. Keep this as your first team so upgrades are not spread too thin. This is OtaHub’s suggested starting approach, rather than a required composition for every mode.
Should you reroll for another character?
Rerolling means starting a new account to try the opening recruitment again. OtaHub would not reset simply because an account lacks a tier list’s top character. Consider it if you want someone specific enough to repeat the opening.
Qiongjiu and Tololo offer two understandable playstyles. Qiongjiu fires support attacks when allies deal targeted damage to an enemy within her range. Tololo can gain an extra action. OtaHub suggests Qiongjiu if you enjoy coordinating attacks, or Tololo if you prefer a carry who can act again. These are playstyle suggestions, not a claim that either is best in every version.
- Choose your target first. Read the recruitment details to confirm the character is available. For a limited character, check when the banner ends.
- Check your client’s account options. Use only the login and account creation methods the game supports. Do not assume Vietnam has the guest login or reset button described in an international guide.
- Complete the opening and claim available rewards. Use only free pulls you actually receive. An expired event’s rewards do not establish how many pulls a fresh account gets now.
- Recruit and compare with your goal. If you get your target, keep and link the account using a supported method. Otherwise, try again only if replaying the opening still feels worthwhile.
Set a time limit before starting. If resetting becomes more tiring than playing, keep your current account. THS Game also advises against buying starter accounts, so purchasing a desirable roster is not OtaHub’s suggested shortcut.
Read the beginner banner before spending tickets
Check three things in recruitment. Which tickets does it use, who is in the pool and what does its guarantee promise? A guarantee, often called pity, may promise a rare character without promising the specific character you want.
Beginner, standard and limited banners can have different rules. If a banner lets you select a character, check whether selection guarantees them or only improves their chances. Read the guarantee threshold and conditions on your account’s actual banner.
Choose a recruitment goal before converting currency into tickets. You do not need to spend more just to fill a guarantee counter whose rules you have not checked.
Who can go in your first team?
These are examples for four-T-Doll stages. Use one only if you own the characters. Skills establish their roles, while the combinations are OtaHub’s suggestions for learning the game.
| Your roster | Example team | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| No Elite carry yet | Groza, Nemesis, Colphne and an available damage dealer | Use Nemesis for ranged damage, Colphne for healing and Groza for protection. |
| You own Qiongjiu | Qiongjiu, Nemesis, Groza and Colphne | Keep Qiongjiu within range of the enemy your allies will attack to enable support fire. |
| You own Tololo | Tololo, Nemesis, Groza and Colphne | Let Tololo lead the damage while protection and healing help the team survive. |
Groza helps reduce incoming Stability damage. Colphne heals and can restore Stability under certain conditions. Nemesis uses a rifle for ranged attacks. If someone is missing, replace their role rather than chasing the exact names in the table.
If you already own Suomi, consider her for support through her shielding. Suomi and Daiyan are separate characters, so do not apply one character’s skill guide to the other. This example is not a requirement to recruit Suomi.
Which upgrades should come first?
OtaHub suggests prioritizing your carry and their equipped weapon, then keeping healing and protection strong enough to prevent early defeats. Add specialists when a stage or mode gives them a clear job. Before investing in another character, ask which current slot they will replace.
Look at why a stage failed before spending resources. If the team dies early, review positioning and healing. If you run out of turns, review character and weapon levels along with skill coordination. Upgrading everyone equally may miss the actual problem.
Use suitable attachments you already have before pursuing perfect sets. OtaHub’s attachment guide explains farming, stats and yellow chips in more detail.
What should you watch for with Cover and Stability?
Cover protects against attacks from a direction. Stability, shown beside health, adds protection when a unit uses cover. At zero Stability, that protection is lost, but cover can still reduce damage. Check the attack direction and Stability before picking a target. IOP Wiki records the combat mechanics.
When an enemy remains behind cover, check who can break Stability before choosing the next damage skill. This is a way to plan an action order, rather than a rule for every battle. Do not simply add two damage reduction percentages to produce one universal protection value.
OtaHub’s take
For beginners, understanding a team is more useful than owning a list of powerful characters you cannot coordinate. Play long enough to identify whether you need damage or survival, then decide who to recruit. That gives your next pulls a clear purpose.
Frequently asked questions
Should I reset without Qiongjiu or Tololo?
Not simply because you lack them. OtaHub recommends trying your existing team first and rerolling only for a specific goal worth repeating the opening.
Is Faye a free starter reward?
Do not assume so. IOP Wiki records Faye as a reward from the international Radiant Spirits event in July 2025. That does not confirm a starter reward for every Vietnamese account.
Can I use the Global banner schedule to plan Vietnam pulls?
Use it as character reference only. Check your in-game banner and THS Game’s notices for the pool, dates and conditions applying to your server.
Sources checked October 14, 2026. THS Game’s Vietnam launch notice, THS Game’s account guidance, IOP Wiki skill data linked in the relevant sections and Faye’s acquisition conditions. IOP Wiki is a community resource, not the publisher’s official wiki.
Correction, October 14, 2026. OtaHub removed unsupported claims about total damage reduction, a starter Faye reward and banner guarantees for Vietnam, and corrected merged character names. The teams are suggestions based on skills, not OtaHub playtest results.
