After unlocking Persona Fusion in the Velvet Room, use most of your stamina defeating Persona in the Realm of Repression. This gets you more materials for Fusion as well as Seals that you can use to Teach Skills to your favored Persona.
Fusion Guide: How Does Fusion Work?
Having more options for Persona will widen the capabilities of your team, since you will be able to adjust Wonder's attributes to fit what you need.

Merope is one of the first Synergy that you meet in the game. Focus on maxing out her rank first to get all the available Persona Fusions that are locked behind her Synergy ranks.

One of the best Persona Fusion you can get from Merope is Archangel. This unit provides amazing support if you have a fire-based team.

Other than Persona Seals, aiming for weapon materials is also a good choice. Keep in mind that weapon levels carry over when you switch equipment. That said, leveling up your equipment to max ahead of time would be a good move.

At the start of the game, you will receive the full 20 Action Points. Be careful where you use these points since Action Points only recover 5 points once a day at 8 PM UTC.
It is recommended to use these points to Spend Time with Synergy, depending on what benefit you are looking to get. For social stats, reach each stat to level 3 before specializing in one.
Activities Guide: How Does the Calendar Work?

At the start of the game you will have access to the Starter Banner which guarantees you a 5-Star unit of your choice between Ann Takamaki, Morgana, and Ryuji Sakamoto after completing 50 pulls.
Make sure to choose Ann Takamaki (Panther) since she has the best attack abilities as a sweeper. She also meshes well with other fire-based team compositions.
