Beginner & Progression Guide

Do not spread resources across every hero you unlock.

For most F2P and low-spend players, Sword Demon is the safest first Mythic investment because he provides both frontline durability and damage.

This is the most repeated early milestone. After that, strengthen the heroes supporting your main team.

A reliable team usually contains:

• One main carry
• One healer
• Buffs, debuffs or crowd control
• A second damage source when needed

Do not spend selection chests, summon tickets, Golden Hammers or event currency without a target.

Campaign matters, but Arena, Endless Abyss, Co-op, Guild activities and events provide much of your long-term progress.

The biggest beginner mistake is upgrading too many heroes at once. Focus beats variety early.

1. 1Bounty Hunter
2. 2Onmyoji
3. 3Holy Knight
4. 4Skeleton Summoner
5. 5Star Mage

• No Onmyoji → use your best available healer
• No Star Mage → use Fire Spirit Master or a second healer
• Dying too quickly → replace Star Mage with more healing or defence
• Unlock Sword Demon → replace Holy Knight and begin building Sword Demon

Do not immediately replace a developed hero with a Level 1 Mythic. A shiny red border cannot perform miracles by itself.

• Sword Demon — Frontline carry and sustain
• Bounty Hunter — Main single-target and boss damage
• Flower Spirit — Main healer and defensive support
• Pharaoh — Team damage support or crowd control
• Flex slot — Change this hero to solve the current problem

This is a strong general foundation for Campaign, bosses and overall progression.

It is not necessary to level every hero equally.

1. 1Sword Demon to Level 10
2. 2Flower Spirit or Onmyoji
3. 3Bounty Hunter
4. 4Pharaoh
5. 5Your flex hero

A lower-level support can improve the whole team more than another heavily upgraded damage dealer.

• Adds Weakness and other debuffs
• Strong for bosses and timed stages
• Becomes better with meaningful investment
• A strong general offensive option around Level 10+

• Use when one healer is not enough
• Works well alongside Flower Spirit
• Useful for difficult stages and defensive Arena teams

• Summons can absorb enemy attacks
• Helpful against some random-target bosses
• Community reports her as useful on Arena offence and defence
• Provides utility rather than replacing your main carries

• Adds extra targets
• Helps protect important heroes
• A cheaper alternative when you need summons

Community-recommended core:

• Mercury Bullet
• Kinetic Energy
• Double Shot or Tear
• Barrage

Kinetic Energy makes Barrage especially powerful. During battle, prioritise Bounty Hunter’s important skills first.

• Blade Storm Heal
• +20 Fear / Fear Abyss
• Double Damage
• Fear Resolution

Use Fear Resolution against bosses and durable frontline enemies.

Use Many Shadows / clones when you need to reach a dangerous enemy backline.

Choose based on the fight:

• Beam • Superimpose — crowd control
• Encouragement — increases team damage
• Beam Vulnerable — increases damage received by the enemy
• Stun upgrades when control is useful

Pharaoh is normally used for his team support and control, not personal damage.

Prioritise:

• Extra Heartbreak
• Heartbreak Duration
• Weakness effects
• Healing reduction
• Charm when crowd control is useful

Succubus is valuable because she helps the rest of the team deal more damage. Her personal damage is not the main reason to use her.

Prioritise:

• Stronger healing
• Faster energy generation
• Faster skill recharge
• Cleanse
• Defensive support

Ignore damage upgrades unless no useful support option appears.

A useful general rule:

1. 1Complete Bounty Hunter’s important damage skills
2. 2Upgrade Sword Demon
3. 3Take Pharaoh’s key team buffs or control
4. 4Take Succubus’s important debuffs
5. 5Add healing upgrades when needed

Supports usually only need their key skills. Do not spend every upgrade trying to turn them into damage dealers.

• Hero Summon Tickets — use them during the Hero Summon Event
• Mythic Selection Chests — prioritise Sword Demon until Level 10
• Golden Hammers — save them for red or better gems
• Class EXP — focus on your main team

On many new servers, the first Hero Summon Event appears around Day 3, but always verify your own server schedule.

• Guild Shop — Co-op Ticket and Purple Egg are repeatedly recommended daily purchases
• Diamonds — summon tickets are usually one of the safer purchases when available
• Gem Cubes — the Gem Summon Event has been disabled or removed from the normal rotation for now

Do not assume Gem Cubes will never matter again. The event could return or be reworked.

• Golden Hammers on yellow or lower gems
• Summon Tickets outside their event
• Upgrading every hero or class together
• Spending event currency before checking every reward

Prioritise Sword Demon until Level 10 unless your account has a very specific need.

When several permanent unlocks are available:

1. 1Get one copy of each
2. 2Upgrade duplicates afterwards

Unlocking a new permanent item is usually more valuable than immediately buying several copies of one item.

If you can only choose one:

• Avatar gives slightly more power
• Blade Rhino and Ghost give roughly the same power

Use seasonal keys before the season resets.

Community confirmation indicates that unused seasonal keys expire rather than carrying over permanently.

Event rewards and schedules may differ between servers. Always check the reward screen before spending your tokens.

Deployed

• Panda: priority pet. Copies one of your heroes and can greatly increase your damage.
• Best available active pet: use your strongest useful deployed skill. Harry is a good temporary option if you have nothing better.

Support

• Robin: excellent for Bounty Hunter because of the Archer attack-speed buff.
• Bone Eagle: useful when running Control heroes such as Pharaoh and Succubus.

Deployed

• Aizen: best pet because it creates additional hero copies.
• Godoff: strong opening damage buff, healing and shield.

Support

• Keep Robin for Bounty Hunter.
• Use the second support slot for the pet that best matches your team or game mode.

• Level the pet slot, not the individual pet. Replacing a pet does not waste those levels.
• Keep and lock Panda, Joyboy, Aizen, Godoff and Robin.
• Save pet eggs for the Pet Summon Event.
• Check the visible synthesis results before combining pets.
• Do not judge pets only by rarity or power. Their deployed and support skills matter more.

• Bounty Hunter supplies most of the boss damage
• Sword Demon survives the frontline while contributing damage
• Pharaoh adds Encouragement and Beam Vulnerable
• Succubus adds Weakness and other debuffs
• Flower Spirit keeps the team alive

1. 1Complete Bounty Hunter’s damage package
2. 2Upgrade Sword Demon
3. 3Take Pharaoh’s damage-support skills
4. 4Give Succubus her key Weakness and Heartbreak skills
5. 5Add only as much healing as the fight requires

If the timer is the problem, replace unnecessary defence with buffs and debuffs.

If the boss attacks random targets, Tidecaller or Skeleton Summoner can provide expendable summons.

This is a strong general team, not a universal answer. Check the boss weakness, immunities and mechanics before changing your entire account.
