1. Dungeons and Quests
- Focus on your main quests. As you complete them, side quests will come up. When you have no main goals to work on that is the time to catch up on side quests. While completing them, you may level up. I, personally, prefer to finish all side quests since I am already working on them.
- After you complete a dungeon, you are able to blitz it. If you do not have VIP, you have to wait for it to complete the blitz. Don't watch the timer run down. Set the blitz and go do something else while you wait. When you get side quests to blitz a dungeon, this is what to do.
- If you have no main quests or side quests, you can blitz a dungeon for experience so you can level up and get more quests. Blitz the most recent one that you completed for maximum experience, gold and possible drops. Don't blitz it too many times at once. Save the stamina for better dungeons.
- If you are going offline and still have stamina you will still want to use it. Find a dungeon where you can use all of your stamina or at least the 30 attempts. When you sign back on, you can finish the blitz.
2. Hot Events
- In hot events under All Around Talent and Omnipotence, you will see it gives you angels tears for using some. If you use 80 you will get 45 back total. Save them for the next day. Say you only have 34 angel tears. Use 30, get your 15 from hot events and you will have 19 to start out tomorrow.
- There is an occasional event called Consuming Regaining. This event gives you items for consuming specific items. For example, if you use 200 Blessed Stones, you get 80 back. The number isn't always the same. It is a good idea to save things for this event. Use some of your resources to keep getting stronger but not too much. Once this event comes up, your battle rating will increase very nicely.
- Once you have loop quests opened up, you can get a bonus for completely at least 30 of them. There is 50 total, however, if you don't have VIP, it takes a long time. At least try to get 30 completely to get the bonus, which usually has something for events.
- Clash of Might, Arena, Inferno, Zodiac, Erebus and Eternal Spire are other tasks you can get rewards for in Hot Events. Clash of Might, for example, will sometimes give you 300 synth scrolls for completing all 10 attempts. Even if you lose, use all attempts to get the reward. You will also get experience even if you lose.
- Gemology has several rewards in hot events. My only advice is to be careful. The reward isn't always that great. Sometimes you will 30 energy trying to get 10 back from hot events. The only time, in my opinion, to use a lot of gem energy is is during an event called Tycoon. I will talk more about that later.
3. Equipment
You want the best equipment you have to be put on your character. The second best you have, you put on your tank, Rose Knight is the first you get.
A. Enhancing
- Enhance your equipment first, then your main tank, then everyone else's. You can enhance all equipment a little just to increase your battle rating. Don't enhance your heroes too much until you equipment is all maxed out. Max out your main tank then work on enhancing your other heroes more. You will notice, you heroes may never be maxed out.
- Start with your weapon, than your helmet, ring, mail, greaves than boots. This order will maximize what you need the most in order. You may want to enhance your weapon 5 times, than your helmet 5 times, etc. That is is if you are going for the bonuses for having all of your equipment at level 20, 30, 40, etc. These combo bonuses aren't worth going off of strategy, if you ask me.
- Make sure you can enhance something at least 5 times every day for your Daily Devotion. Always leave gold for the next day to enhance.
B. Synthing
- You do have the option of using Dragon Crests to buy Courage equipment from the arena. However, note that you will be able to synth better equipment once Erebus unlocks. This can be done by using either the Peerless or the Courage equipment.
- Synth the Triumph gear from peerless as much as possible to save your dragon crests. If you have a courage weapon and want to synth a triumph, use a peerless from one of your heroes. You can then swap. They will have the courage and you will have the triumph.
- Make sure to select the right equipment by using the check box. It changes whose equipment you are going to synth. Equipment has a level requirement so if you synth the wrong equipment, you risk not being able to reequip to a hero until you level them up.
- Once you synth, you will notice that your enhance goes down a little. This isn't a big deal.
C. Gems
- Again, give yourself, the best that you have, than give the next best to your main tank.
- Equip gems to all slots that you can. Even if your heroes only have level 1 gems, that is better than nothing. You can upgrade them later. Unlock all of your sockets before you unlock any of your heroes sockets, unless you want to unlock your tanks sockets. When both yours and your tanks sockets have all been unlocked, than focus on the other heroes.
- You will find that it is best not to keep upgrading every heroes gems. You will want to keep their gems 2-3 levels behind yours. Example: You have all level 3 gems, your tank has level 3 gems and your other heroes have level 1 gems. Later you will have level 5 gems, your tank will have level 4 gems and your other heroes will have level 3 gems.
- You will want to focus on ATK and HP a lot. PDEF is more important that MDEF but you need both. Agility is needed most my mages until later in the game. I exchanged these for ATK and HP for a long time so I can hit hard and stay alive longer.
- At level 45, you will get another set of gems. Exchange all block for dodge and hit for crit. For awhile you want dodge and crit built up. Block still allows you to be damaged while dodge avoids the damage completely. After awhile, you will need to start using the hit gems, usually around level 60. End gems are optional at low levels. I advice using at least some of them. You can exchange some for other things gems you are working on.
4. Skills
You start out with being able to unlock 6 skills. 4 of them are passive and 2 are the active skill on your main char page. Some players only start with the main 2 and finish leveling them up first before they unlock the passive ones. It is better to unlock each just to be able to use it and fully upgrade your 2 main skills, then finish upgrading the passive ones. As you open new ones that are able to be unlocked, make sure to do the same thing. Don't forget to change them on your main char page after you unlock the new ones.
