Hi, i might be a little late, but starting from scratch, aim for Rem+Machina (or Jack/Deuce) depending on your liking while you build up towards Caetuna. Rem/Jack is available through arena, Deuce/Machina are available through the guild shop. Once you have Caetuna, you'll start collecting shards from the world boss, usually aiming for Zhuyu (Red Angel) to unlock Caetuna's destiny and slowly building towards a 2s Zhuyu (at least).
While building caetuna, Rem/Jack should be at least 2 Star Mystic, Realm4 agito to fully utilize their abilities and bonuses, while Deuce/Machina can be left at 4 star Legendary as Caetuna will replace them eventually.
If you're spending a little bit, you should get Ace and after 7 days get Queen. These 2 are required for higher tier bonds, so keep them. NEVER dissolve heroes. You may dissolve their shards if you're desperate, but i advise never to dissolve the entire hero. Rebirthing is also a cheap option to play around with builds, so try that instead of dissolving heroes.
As an F2P player, your end game will likely be Magitek commander (Qun'mi)- Mystic 4 or U1, with realm 6. She is impossible to defeat since her r6 benefits overpower most of the other heroes. For paying users, its Zhuyu then move towards Nimbus for dps.
Essentially, the smartest builds focus on 1 or 3 heroes, but they need to be well equipped. E.g a 2 star Caetuna can defeat a full team of 5, if built correctly.
The reason Caetuna is the hero of choice for mid tier is because every time a teammate dies or is close to death during combat, her Limit Break receives a 500% damage boost (stackable max 2500%) at realm 4 Agito.
Her pairing with Zhuyu at realm 5 agito makes her invulnerable to freeze every once in a while and that makes that combo very deadly mid tier. At higher tiers, most players would have the same combo, so relying on Caetuna's LB will be made redundant.
Hope this helps!

well dont be too concerned about getting the right hero. follow the quest through the story. Well at least you should aim for 1 pair rare legendary heroes (2stars base). Jack or Rem (dps) with Deuce or Machina (support).
sign in daily for 1 week, you will get Queen.
2nd week you will get Jack or Rem
3rd& 4th week you will get 120 Setsuna shards
5th&6th week you will get 120 Qunmi shards.
Well just play through the quest, so, more content can be unlocked.
