O.O Dang... I really do hate to say this, but you've indeed been "doing it wrong" oAo I had 16x 5*s after a year of playing AGG, and I'm actually one of the weaker free players due to initial lack of strategy (I was absolutely terrible at saving items) and lack of free time in real life o.o (even now, I still have no FH 5* daemons or limited RS daemons while other free players who have been playing for less time have multiple FH 5* daemons and limited RS daemons and even more)

Here are some links to guides that should help you understand how to be more successful in AGG:

common terms you'll see around the wikia

tips

gameplay elements

overview of some strategies for events (tower, conquest, etc) and here are some more

here's an awesome user guide intended for new players, but you'll benefit from it, too

I have a few guides as well: defending yourself successfully, best ratio for solo conquest events is 1:2 if you're not chugging SW, tips when fusing

here's another guide about solo CQ and how far you should expect to get

Also, there's another site called tcgapp and there's an AGG community there. There are a bunch of guides in this part of tcgapp in particular that you might want to look at.

Note: "En Garde" has been phased out and may not return any time soon, so you don't have to look at those. But you could look at them if you want to, of course :P

I think one of the biggest things you missed was that the 200F guardian ghosts (5*s) in tower events used to be reachable without items. 200F in all 2013 towers could have been reached without items as long as you never let your HP overflow (e.g. if you have 200 HP, then you need 3 hours and 20 minutes to get it back to full; if you wait any longer before using it, then we say that "your HP overflowed"). So you missed quite some 5*s that could have helped you to advance in other events.

Also, since you only recently got your first 5*, I'm guessing you were unable to get accepted by any guild that was capable of reaching the Fallens/Reversed in guild conquest events. The Fallens, Reverseds, and Pures are extremely helpful for free players, so you missed out on a lot of that firepower. (I missed 3/4 of it myself, actually xD and I suffered quite a bit because of it, so I sorta know how it feels and I know how much they help.)

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask! I've probably forgotten plenty haha but I hope these links can help you to get started ^^ (I'm not sure on whether you should start over, though. On one hand, you could benefit from sealstone collection events if you started over. On the other hand, the event 4*s that you've gotten, along with Brutus, should be a solid basis for improving in the future, especially considering that you're already over level 100.)
