I softbricked my Ellipsis 8 and am in way over my head. :( Please help..



Hello all :) My name is Ashley. I was referred to this website and am hoping there is help for me.
I have an Ellipsis 8, and was doing some things (simply following directions off reputable websites) to use various programs called Kingroot and Teamwin and ES File Explorer and Terminal Emulator - NONE of these I fully understand.. I was just following directions. Then I installed Xposed and a random .zip that I THOUGHT was the right one, but obviously not. I don't know how I did this, but from what I'm reading, this is a softbrick because I can still get into recovery mode. However, wiping data and wiping cache and then rebooting is not working. Still stuck on the Verizon logo screen.
My tablet is rooted.. other than that I know nothing for sure. Somewhere it said that there's supposed to be an option in the recovery mode called "advanced" and then "wipe Dalvick cache" or something.. I don't have an "advanced" option in my recovery mode. Is my tablet actually hardbricked? :( Someone please help..
If you're curious as to why I would do this to my tablet without having sufficient knowledge on the subject to do so.. I was trying to play an app that I had seen others have success in playing, but they had to root their tablet first. Granted, their tablets were Samsungs.. But hell, I figured "If I brick it, I brick it. The tablet was free."
I won't be devastated if there's no help, but I'd just like to make sure before I cut it out of my monthly plan.
If any help is available, please try to express in layman's terms and go step by step. I am reasonably intelligent and by no means technologically inept.. but I'm not nearly as versed as you guys in this area of technology.
