Quick answer
Choose a Heartopia guide by the blocker in your current session
New players should begin with the first-week route, returning players should rebuild the daily loop, completion players should use the collection hubs, and event players should check limited-time tasks before ordinary chores. Pick one objective first, then open only the walkthrough or database that supports that run.
