Sakura Quarter Tutorial Best Route

# Sakura Quarter Best Route Guide
1 Training Step 1
You will be dropped in the western side of Sakura Quarter, with no visibility on the map. Head right to the road and read the tutorial headers provided about exploring, using the Namipon Shuttle, collecting Loot and enemy threat level.

You will eventually reach a Namipon Lightbox with enemies around it needing to be wiped out. Eliminate them to access the Lightbox and gain fast travel. After the tutorial, head direct south to reach the next point-of-interest.
2 Training Step 2
Head downstairs and defeat the enemy cluster near the point-of-interest to gain a treasure chest that gives several items. Your new Point-of-Interest here is a Namipon Telephone Booth, which you will need to reach to extract properly.

The area is blocked further and you can only choose to extract now, completing the tutorial. Collect your rewards, check your cafe, and setup your next expedition as soon as you are ready.

# Sakura Quarter Best Route Guide

You will once again, be dropped on the western side of Sakura Quarter, but you now have some more available areas to explore. Continue the same route but defeat the group of enemies ahead, there is a treasure chest near their position that can be picked up for loot after defeating them.
2
After clearing the mobs, head up to the Sakura Pedway to encounter enemies and clear the objective marker there. There will be drops here for stickers and sellable materials, so pick them up!
3
Once the mobs are clear, head north away from the Pedway and locate the Namipon Telephone, activate it to remove the shroud in the area. Make sure to remove the poster directly behind the telephone nearby!
4
Continue northwards until you encounter more enemies on a flat patch of land to the west. Defeat them and continue proceeding north. Make sure to capture or take any supplies that contain loot in them!
5
You will eventually head north, but turn downwards to face more enemies, continue taking them down as intended until you reach your next yellow marker.
6
After heading southwards as indicated by your objective marker, you will be introduced to the Missing Namipon mechanics here, where you will need to find tagged Namipons in the map. Make sure not to collect this Sweet Tooth Namipon and continue afterwards!
7
Continue heading to the nearby Harukaze Stadium by taking the northern staircase and running to an elevated walkway, but don't enter the field yet! You can interact with the Banker Namipon near a waiting shed, collect him and proceed.

Enter the Stadium and you will encounter the last objective of this run, defeat the anomalous Impermanence Heron and save the nearby Honami citizen. Once done, you can exit and extract to unlock the Free Roam section of Sakura Quarter!

The initial stage runs will not allow you to pick characters just yet, and you will be forced to run a team featuring Chisa, Phoebe and Zani. This team will be more than sufficient for the training and first stage runs, so just pick and equip whatever stickers or Namipon you have!

Once you gain Free Roam mode, you will be able to use different team members. One of the best picks is to use Phoebe as your damage nuke while supported by Shorekeeper for heals and buffs, while Zani provides Vibration Damage to clear enemy Vibration Strength.

Use the characters related stickers with specific buffs to them should you find them, as this will drastically improve your Namipon Level, paired with the appropriate shape of the Sticker you are slotting in to trigger the Namipon buff.
