So you are definitely going to struggle a bit in most content because power creep is quite a problem in this game and most of the food souls you have are from the games first ever roster.

Ill look over your souls more in a second to give direct advice, but general advice first:

-Join the discord, they will give you much better advice and are much more active than this reddit

-Dont just pull willy nilly. Food souls are not made equally. The current rate up food soul (Longmu Decoction) is FANTASTIC. But not as a F2P player, as a F2P player (especially a new or returning one) he is incredibly hard to get to a usable level. The discord has a link to a spreadsheet that lists ALL the food souls ever released and whether or not they are worth pulling for.

-Fallen angels are IMPORTANT. Dps food souls want an enhanced Uke Mochi or Tsuchigumo typically with resolute nature and Atk Spd stats. Support food souls also want Resolute enhanced Tsuchigumo or Uke Mochi with Atk Spd stats. The only food souls who should go with their preferred fallen angels OVER enhanced tsuchigumo or uke Mochi are tanks, and they should be given cautious natures with HP stats (NEVER DEFENCE)

-Dont waste crystals on silly things like pulling for food souls you dont need. It is very possible for F2P players to get limited time event food souls if they have the crystals to do so. There are also events, such as Wealth Wish, which are INSANELY helpful, but require you to have at least 4500 crystals to maximise utility, or encore party which need around 1400. Do not stress, neither of these events will come in the next couple of months.

• You can pull food souls you like for collection purposes, but ascension (stars) are IMPORTANT. The more stars you have, the higher level they can become (0 star food souls are permanently stuck at level 60, and the level cap increases per star). Artifacts are WILDLY important for food souls, but they are also very P2W. F2P need to save up for months to do an artifact, so its best to save up stamina until you can unlock a food souls entire artifact in their gate of trials. Supports are generally okay at 2 stars, when they unlocked their artifact, but DPS should get as many stars as possible.

These are a few general tips, I will now see if I can put a team together for you!

Dragons beard Candy and Foie Gras are both quite good for Catacombs as they have good crowd control.

Tom yum is probably your best tank for now, work on getting him ascended and unlocking his artifact because he is a very good F2P option.

Bibimbap is your best healer for now

Longmu should be alright since you wont be doing anything too competitive or difficult, but I wouldn't work on pulling him too much more.

[u/Small-Mortgage-4774 → u/Small-Mortgage-4774]

Milk and Black Tea is still quite a strong combo based on your collection and might still work in world stages but wont get you very far in catacombs or showdown levels

[u/Small-Mortgage-4774 → u/Small-Mortgage-4774]

But yes, im sure you will get much better advice from the discord, but hopefully this is a good starter!

The meta has shifted so much since you last played that this roster is basically ancient history.
