1. Try out all the weapons!

There are five different weapon classes, with their own unique properties.

  • Great swords are big powerhouses that swing slow but each hit packs a punch.
  • Dual blades aren’t as powerful, but they’re lighting quick and you attack multiple times.
  • Glaives are long spears that have good attack power and long reach. Great for taking out groups of enemies.
  • Staves are magical rods that have elemental properties. These let you cast long ranged magical attacks.
  • Crossbows are excellent ranged weapons. They’re not too powerful, but they’ll let you pick off enemies from afar.

Try them all and see which fits your playstyle best!

2. Try to keep at least one weapon of each element!

There are five elements in the game, and each weapon and monster has an elemental affinity. Fire beats Nature, Nature beats DeathDeath beats Light, Light beats Water, and finally Water beats Fire. When you’re choosing a level to play through, the difficulty selection will tell you what type of enemies you should expect. Before you depart, you’re given one last chance to finalize your gear. The game will also recommend what element weapon to bring: you should try to follow this advice! Exploiting enemy weaknesses does great damage.

3. Use your dodge roll to avoid traps!

When you reach level 4, you’ll begin to encounter traps. Traps can range from explosive mines planted in the ground, spring-loaded spike trips, and more. If you accidentally activate one of these traps, quickly use your dodge roll. Remember that you’re invincible during your dodge roll, you’ll avoid any damage from the trap. This works for big boss attacks as well!

4. Replay old levels for better loot!

Once you beat a level on the initial difficulty, you can play through it again this time with tougher enemies. There are two additional difficulties: hard and expert. The harder the enemies are, the better the rewards! Once you’ve got good enough gear, try going back and tackling older levels again. You might get some really good stuff!

5. Fuse old gear!

You can power up your favorite weapons and gear by fusing them with old, unused equipment. If you choose to sacrifice equipment that has the same elemental property as the gear you’re upgrading, you’ll get a boost! Try to keep equipment that has the same element as your favorite gear, so that you can constantly get these bonuses when you start to fuse.

6. Always bring an ally along!

There’s no point to not bringing an ally along with you during levels. Both players will receive ally tickets which can be used to open a specific kind of chest that has various rewards in it. Not to mention the fact that you have additional slaying help during the levels! Be sure to send a friend request after the level is over, because you will get better rewards if you play with the same people multiple times.

The fate of Valenthia is now in your hands! If you have any other questions or suggestions, leave a comment below!
