Penetration is useful only when it exceeds the enemy’s Defense. Keep in mind that once you have enough Penetration, it becomes less effective. You can primarily obtain Penetration through Gems.
Hidden Daily Reward
Under Settings -> Super Rewards -> Scroll down (under code field) for a Daily Reward Button
Darkness Shop
Buy only Awakening Skin Tickets in Darkness Shop and focus on Skins with %ATK + Skill Cooldown + Awakening Charge.
You can also buy World Boss Tickets, but save them until you can sweep for SS Rings!
Early Equipment
Your goal is to aim for an S rank in Special Weapons and Shields, which are denoted by their red color. Once you’ve achieved this rank, proceed to obtain D rank super special Weapons and Shields, indicated by their orange color. These D rank items will serve as your primary gear until you unlock Divine rank weapons.
Here’s a crucial tip: only transcend the D rank Weapons, and refrain from transcending any other Super Special Equipment. To promote them to Divine Equipment status, you’ll need to collect a total of 5 S Rank Super Special Equipments. Divine Equipment can only be promoted from Super Specials, it cannot be summoned.
Giant Boss
It’s recommended to save most of your boss currency until you can sweep Filnusvi, because it’s the first boss to drop Red Costume Fragments at 2%. However feel free to do some sweeps before but dont overdo it.
These costumes give stat bonuses per new piece you collect, whether you have the whole set or not. The bonuses are inconsequential until Purple fragments at minimum.
Future Updates
This is the order that major content was released in the Korean version of the game. ~1.5 Months between each update. According to Naver they will follow same sequence on Global!
- Sentence System (However this translates, it’s post Awakening Level 7 content)
- Runes / Rune Dungeons
- Jewelry and World Boss
- Guilds, Guild Boss, Guild Buffs, Guild Shop, Guild Rank
- Seasonal Dungeons
- Ancient Boss, Ancient Relic, Tower of Adversity, New Stats
- Weapon Spirits, Divine Attributes
- Divine Elementals/Holy Spirit + Elementals Dungeon expansion (however it gets translated, its a further update for Elementals)
- Exploration Auto Change
- Monsters/Boss Cards Collection and Box
Somewhere during those first three updates is where Skill Damage builds started to take off.
Best Weapon / Shield
Embrace the diversity of divine weapons and shields! The concept of a ‘best’ one is a myth, for it all depends on your preset and skill build (Curse vs. Erosion), as well as whether you’re pushing or farming. Take a moment to explore the descriptions of these items’ skills, and you’ll see the perfect equipment for every situation.
Divine Equipment Promotion vs. Transcendence
- Weapons: Transcend to +3, Promote to 2 stars, Transcend to +5, Finish Promotion
- Lucifer and Michael: Promote to 4 stars, Finish Transcend
- Shields: Promote to 4 stars, Finish Transcend
Optimal Farming Stages
Exp increases every 40 Stages by around 50%-60%. So its best to farm at this breakpoints to get higher KPM.
Stages
1, 41, 81, 121, 161, 201, 241, 281, 321, 361, 401, 441, 481, 521, 561, 601, 641, 681, 721, 761, 801, 841, 881, 921, 961, 1001, 1041, 1081, 1121, 1161, 1201, 1241, 1281, 1321, 1361, 1401, 1441, 1481, 1521, 1561, 1601, 1641, 1681, 1721, 1761, 1801, 1841, 1881, 1921, 1961, 2001, 2041, 2081, 2121, 2161, 2201,…
Otherworldy shop
Some quick math on Otherworldy shop (You can farm the currency only on weekend for 2 days):
- Awakening Key x20 = 1000
- Equipment Key x50 = 1000
- Boss ticket x20 = 600
- Rune Key x10 = 700
Leaves you with 2700 otherworldy currency for the rest:
- Equipment Summoning Tickets: 4050 summons worth 405000 Rubies
- Skill Summoning Tickets: 3240 summons worth 648000 Rubies
- Gem Summoning Tickets: 2025 summons worth 708750 Rubies
- Elemental Summoning Ticket: 2700 summons worth 810000 Rubies (Once S and SS Elementals are maxed, dont Dismantle them, you will need them for Weapons Spirit Update to get Spirit Cores!)
The cost in Rubiesis what you would normally spend, or in this case, save.
Gems
Do not promote Gems until you have finished the rarity!
Here are the Levels and required Gems for each rarity:
- Normal | Levels: 0-11 | Normal-Gems needed: 380
- Rare | Levels: 12-23 | Rare-Gems needed: 324
- Superior | Levels: 24-35 | Superior-Gems needed: 234
- Supreme | Levels: 36-47 | Supreme-Gems needed: 156
- Special | Levels: 48-70 | Special-Gems needed: 288
- Super-Special | Levels: 71-100 | Super-Special-Gems needed: 165
Boss Raid
Early Game
When you reach Stage 500, you’ll unlock the red skin parts in Boss Raid! Securing these upgrades is crucial, and it is recommend rerolling for them in the initial days after unlocking to witness a significant boost in your power. Remember, there’s no need to go overboard; completing 4-5 Raids daily should suffice, so don’t overspend on the last Raid Re-Roll. Happy raiding!
After you have most of the Skin parts, go for Awakening Keys. However, dont roll automatically but manually since the Supreme Raids also give keys!
Expeditions & Raids
Go for Expeditions with Awakeneing Keys.
On Raids:
- Never use auto change! It does not work correctly!
- Until only 1 Raid is left roll for at least 2 Awakenening Keys or 3 Demigod Emblems
- On last Raid roll for at least 1 Awakenening Key
SS Raids (Stage 1200+):
- Until only 1 Raid is left roll for at least 4 Awakening Keys or 2 Rune Keys or 2 S (SS) Weapon/Armor
- On last Raid roll for at least at least 2 Awakening Keys or 1 Rune Keys or 1 S (SS) Weapon/Armor
Excess Event Coins
Always buy the following (prioritized):
- Skins which are not be available after event.
- Boss Challenge Entry Coins
- World Boss Ticket
- Season Dungeon Ticket
- Rune Key
- Awakening Key
- Equipment Keys
If you have excess Event Coins, buy the Summon Tickets (Equipment Summon Ticket x50, Skills Summon Ticket x50, Elemental Summon Ticket x50, Gems Summon Ticket x50). They are cheaper before event coin conversion to otherwordly coins.
Accessories / World Boss
- Accessoire Slots, Filigree Stones and Rings can be crafted with Special Crafting Tickets under “Craft”. Special Crafting Tickets can be obtained from dismantling Rings and World Boss Rewards.
- Most important is to have a high grade ATK Special Option.
- Save the Special Crafting Tickets to unlock Accessoires Slots first! Do not craft new rings or extend option slots until you have unlocked all ring slots.
- The Level of a Ring can be transfered (ineritance) for free to another one of the same rarity. Only the level is transfered!
- SS Ring with Special Option S ATK > S Ring with Special Option SS ATK.
Ancient Bosses
You do not need to have the Weapon requirements to kill the Bosses. However it makes them easier to kill. If you break the shield and cant kill the boss, you lack CP.
- Paynebrennan: Use normal (Farming) Divine Skillset
- Rafflesia: Use Standard Curse Skillset
- Lyrisiris: Use normal (Farming) Divine Skillset
- Phonyublingen: Use Seasonal, Erosion or Hybrid Skillset
- Hevitnir: Use normal (Farming) Divine Skillset
- Filnusvi: Use Curse, Hybrid or Erosion Skillset
- Requedevia: Use Curse Skillset (deactivate Skillcasting until shield is broken, turn of effects, try different devices (better FPS) and try a few times)
- Bertsbranelts: Under Skill, press Divine and use Skills which do Skilldamage. NOT the farming ones!
- Yogmunt: Use Curse Skillset
- Diablos: Use Curse Skillset
Erosion does not work on the Ancient Bosses, and the skill damage is reduced by 99%. –> Do not use Skilldamage Rune!
Sweeping
- Sweep the bosses below equally until all Hallows are level ~150 (Around 100k Boss Coins)
- Sweeping for Red and Orange (Sweep until Orange are max): Diablos
- Sweeping for Greys (Sweep until Grey are max): Rafflesia
- Sweeping for Greens (Sweep until Green are max): Phonyublingen
- Sweeping for Blues (Just Sweep a little and complete once Grey and Green are maxed!): Hevitnir
Tower of Sorrow
The waves in Tower of Sorrows consist of normal monster waves and boss monster waves.
By default, you can only deal 1 DMG to all monsters.
However, you can get a +1 DMG per 100% Normal / Boss Monster DMG increase. Your DMG also increases by 1 when dealing Crit/Strike/Finishing Blows.
