Getting into the Tutorials is a good reward on its own as learning how to play is important. However, if you are looking for a real reward then you should start clearing the tutorials for everyone. Finish one character's tutorial for a Silver Mother Box. If you finish the tutorial for all of the 27 starting characters, you will earn a Diamond Mother Box.
This mode, found in the Multiplayer menu, is the minimal effort required to get boxes. There are two ways to do so. The first is to set an AI team of defenders. Once you do that you literally do nothing and if another player's AI team finds your team at random then they will battle and you'll reap the rewards (typically a Bronze box for a loss and a Gold box for a win).
You can unlock several things in Double Dash, but you need to acquire a gold trophy in order to do so. How do you get the gold trophy? By placing first in Grand Prix mode. Here's a list of what you can unlock, according to speed class and cup.
Injustice is a fighting/card-collecting grind-intensive mobile game. This guide gives basic tricks to use while fighting and tips to cut the grind to progress fast and expand your collection quicker, as well as a brief explanation of game modes and links to learn more.
If you've made it through the tutorial and played a bit, you should be familiar with light attacks (by tapping the screen), heavy attacks (by swiping the screen), and the combo ender (a swipe that sometimes appears after light taps).
In general, heavy attacks are slower to start up but deal more damage than light attacks. For most characters, they will deal damage faster over time. In single player mode, the enemies generate power to use for special attacks or supers faster if you hit them more, so generally it is better to use heavy attacks instead of light attacks to prevent them from getting lots of power. On survivor and online battles you get more power from hitting the enemies instead of receiving hits, so you can use either light attacks or heavy attacks.
Your primary focus to start out this game should be in single player mode, finishing the battles you can and leveling up the bronze cards you get. Most of the bronze cards aren't all that bad, but if you want specific cards that are good, focus on Nightwing, Lex Luthor, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Deathstroke.
As mentioned before, this game has a lot of grinding to it, particularly in getting more power credits and leveling up your own cards. Take a look at this spreadsheet* to see which battles are the most efficient to earn power credits in. Notice that the more characters you have, the more energy you can spend at one time, and you can grind more credits in one sitting. Another way to get credits quickly is by completing the battles in the challenge mode, and the challenge bonus rewards are great for people starting out. Try going as far as you can. Although battles give larger rewards when completed on their first try, your characters won't be strong enough to keep progressing through everything at once. Replaying a few profitable battles over and over can help you build XP on your cards to make them stronger and build up credits to buy stronger cards or upgrade/promote cards in your collection. This spreadsheet has XP info for battles to level up your cards quicker.
On a side note, while you log in daily, you will accumulate alliance credits. You can spend these alliance credits on a gold card (Killing Joke Joker), or on various support cards. The support cards are far more useful than Killing Joke Joker, and since alliance credits are hard to come by make sure to buy the support cards first. Get the damage support cards before the health ones (cheapest to most expensive), then get KJ Joker after. For late-game multiplayer matchmaking purposes, it's best to avoid the health alliance credit support cards entirely.
Once you have about 2 solid bronze teams, invest in a few silver characters--Regime Flash, Wonder Woman, Regime Cyborg, Doomsday, Regime Green Lantern and Regime Nightwing are all excellent silver characters to start out with, and you can make use of Nightwing and Green Lantern for a large portion of the game. Silver packs are alright, but they don't guarantee a good character. It's much better to directly buy Green Lantern for 47,000 credits instead of unluckily getting two copies of Solomon Grundy after buying two silver packs for 70,000. Get maybe 3-4 silvers (more if you want) and then start saving up for gold characters. Gold characters are a larger power credit investment but provide a large boost to your fighting power. Make sure to open challenge booster packs instead of gold booster packs; gold booster packs contain mostly old power-crept characters while challenge booster packs contain far fewer power-crept characters and a few very strong characters. The gold characters in the store shop are mostly power-crept as well, the only ones worth their price for beginners are Animated Harley Quinn, Prime Doomsday, and maybe Arrow Green Arrow and Prime Batman. (A side note--we use "Prime" to designate the original version of a card which doesn't have any other titles or surnames associated with it). Other store cards that are good but are overshadowed quickly once you get more cards are Krypto Lex Luthor, New 52 Nightwing, and Regime Black Adam. Among your first few golds you ideally want some you can promote directly, either from earning them from the challenge mode or buying them from the store.
After you have a few silvers and maybe some golds, it might be tempting to start grinding hard to get lots of strong gold cards up to a high level and promotion. In reality what you should be focusing on as soon as you can is obtaining good gear cards. Gear is the most important aspect of the game. Everything in this game can be accomplished with strong gear and zero maxed characters, and with strong gear, your grinding goes faster. Obtaining gear can be done through playing survivor mode and by ranking in the top 5% of certain online seasons. Gear lockers are another way to obtain gear, but they aren't the best use of credits. It's a better use of credits to buy into survivor more instead. You don't even need to wait to get golds before trying these modes out, you should jump into them as soon as you feel comfortable. I'll go into more detail about survivor and online battles in the next section.
Once you get strong gear upgraded, you will be able to do about anything you want in the game with the right strategies and team compositions, which you can find out on your own, through this subreddit, or through other resources I'll link below. You'll be able to finish battles quicker and expand your collection faster. Mid-game and end-game grinding largely ends up being playing online battles, survivor mode, and going through Bonus Battle 6 over and over (the battle that gives the most credits for energy spent). Once you build a larger collection, you won't be as limited by energy and the grinding will only get easier and faster. The teams and gearing possibilities are endless.
Before I start this section, I'm going to link the Injustice Mobile Wiki, which has a wealth of information on just about everything in this game. The descriptions below certainly don't cover everything about the game modes, but the wiki pages will go into more detail.
I'd also like to note I'm not going to cover Single-Player/Standard Battle/Story Mode. There is a very detailed wiki page that covers tactics to finish almost all of the battles in the standard battle mode already, although once one obtains strong gear cards it's possible to finish much of the game's levels with only bronze cards or without any highly promoted gold cards (again, highlighting the importance of gear!). The battle you will be replaying most is Bonus Battle 6, grinding past that stage isn't necessary early on.
Every week on Thursdays, a new challenge mode appears from which you can earn lots of credits, a bronze pack, silver pack, and a challenge gold character. There are five separate challenges, and challenge battles 1-4 have 12 fights while battle 5 has 15 fights. Each challenge has a requirement you need to have on your team, battle 1 always requires only bronze characters and battle 3 always requires bronze or silver characters. The other battles require you to have a specific character on your team, like a Cyborg character or a Flash character. After you complete the first 5 challenge battles, you can replay the whole challenge mode 2 more times with harder difficulties, expert and nightmare, but it takes time to build up a good enough collection to finish all 3 difficulties.
Many challenges' specific character requirements can fulfilled by having a certain bronze or silver character, but you might want to invest in a Batman and Superman because those appear fairly often as well. Unfortunately, some character requirements are tough to get, like a Killer Frost or Raven character, or any Red Son character. For these challenges you'll just have to wait to build up a better collection. You can check out requirements for all challenges that have run in the past in this wiki page. If you really want a gold challenge character, you can skip through all challenge battles at a high cost.
As stated in the wiki page, this mode allows players to create a team of three members (with three reserves) to fight more difficult enemies as they progress with different mechanics. One earns rewards after rounds that culminate in a jackpot, and tickets for the Last Laugh minigame.
Although the enemy stats are hidden, they scale up with respect to the stats of your strongest character, so try to avoid running unbalanced teams so you don't make your weaker cards useless in the fight. One strategy could be to use a team of three bronzes to start out with, and then once your three bronzes are knocked out, use two stronger silver/gold characters to mop up the fight and keep going. I find power-draining characters like Nightwing or Lex Luthor to be quite useful, as the enemies get very strong and their specials hit hard. To be safe, I wouldn't advise using up all three of your reserves because once all your reserves are knocked out, you lose the jackpot you have accumulated and immediately go to the Last Laugh minigame.
