1. 1: Form a Farming team

Farming is essential for 7K Players & provides a stable source of Rubies.

How does farming work?
Each time a hero reaches level 30, you are rewarded with Rubies (5 Rubies the 1st time a hero reaches 30, 3 rubies each time afterwards) There is no limit on the amount of times you can receive this reward
How to Farm Rubies:
Auto repeat a stage until a hero reaches level 30. The most efficient way to farm is in Asgar (Worlds 1-7). Asgar stages have 3 Waves, so you'll need a total of 3 AOE attacks, 1 for each wave.
What hero should I use to farm?
Nia. You'll want a Hero that can clear 3 waves by themselves allowing you to 4 fodder farm. Nia is by-far the best Farmer (Nia's passive Makes all allies Immune to DMG 2 times) so awaken Nia ASAP. If you have Nia already Jave is great for farming Normal Stages quickly

What Stages to Farm?
To make sure you don't run out fodder to level up you'll want to Farm somewhere with different types of Fodder. World: Stages: Asgar (1☆ & 2☆) 6-10 7-1 7-10 Aisha (Gold & 3☆) 8 - 20 Heavenly Stairs (3☆ & 4☆) 13- 1 13- 4 Asgar (1☆ & 2☆) stages 6-10 & 7-10 are good for 1☆ & 2☆ fodder. 13- 1 threw 13- 5 are good for 3☆+ fodder. 8-10 threw 8-15 are good for Gold Farming.
How should I manage my keys while Farming?
It takes 7 keys to Level up a hero from 1 to 30. You regenerate 1 key Every 10 mins. You stop regenerating keys once you reach your Max Key Regen amount (*Amount depends on player LVL) . Always make sure you're regenerating Keys. Use Honor, Daily Quests, Guild Check in for extra keys. Rubies can also be used
I'm running out of fodder, how do you keep a steady supply of fodder coming?
Some of this is strictly RNG, there are times when your unlucky & fodder doesn't drop. The main answer to this is to stock up on fodder during Saturday & Sunday's Hot Time. During this time the Hero Drop rate on Worlds 1 through 7 are greatly increased. World 13 always increases hero drop rate during Hot Time.
Farming Overview
7 Keys = 4 Fodder LVL 1 - 30 & 12 Rubies. It takes Nia about 5 mins to level four fodder up to 30 (Without Boost). Leveling up 100 fodder with Nia takes 25 teams with 4 fodder,will cost 175 Keys, takes roughly 1 hour 40 mins, and rewards 300 Rubies.
Gold Farming Mid - End Game
During Hot Time World 8 gives extra gold, stage 8 - 15 Easy costs 2 keys , rewards 20k gold and takes roughly 60 seconds to clear with Nia. If you're in need of gold this is the stage to farm. * The gold boost from hot time lasts 4 hours. At 60' seconds & 20k gold for each clear, you can clear this stage 232 times in 4 hours Gold Rewarded: roughly 4.640.000 gold. This will cost about 464 keys. Fodder: It takes 4 clears & 8 keys to level 4 fodder to level 30. In 4 hours you can level up 116 fodder, rewarding you with 348 rubies. If using your 100 boost mode clears then you get roughly 6M - 8M depending on fodder drop gold. Leaving you with 2 HRs of hot time left. In this time you can can clear the stage 132 times & make an additional roughly 2,640.000 gold for a total of 8,640,000 gold. Costing 864 keys. 8-15 (Hot Time) 4 hours (without boost mode) = 4.64 million gold ; 464 keys 8-15 (Hot Time) 4 hours (with boost mode) = 8.64 million gold; 864 keys
What should I do with all of my fodder?
You should use most of your fodder on fusing 3☆ heroes to expand your hero pool or to Rank up Elements. Power up your 3☆ heroes to +5 (it takes three 3☆ & one 2☆ to +5 a 3☆ hero)

If you aren't able to clear 3 waves with one hero you may need a Secondary Farmer to provide a DMG buff & AOE attack.

What to Spend Rubies from Farming on?

Completing your Masteries should be your 1st priority when spending Rubies as the buffs from Masteries apply to all game modes. After your Masteries are completed focus on completing Step Up Summons which guarantee a Special Hero.

World Boss & Debuffs Walkthrough

• For a full World Boss Guide see here or check the How To section in the bottom of the page.

In world boss mode you have 5 minutes to deal as much damage as possible to that weeks boss. After the 5 minute mark the boss goes berserk, becoming immune to debuffs & a drastic increase in damage. See the World Boss page for in depth info & Guides on how to deal with each boss.

Because you'll have to deal with debuffs in World Boss (and most PvE content), before we go further, it's important to know how Debuff effects work. All debuffs are listed in the chart below as-well as how to counter each debuff.

Note: Another way to counter debuffs is through Special Traits

Debuff Effect Info.
Stackable & Damage over time Effects.	Counter
* Bleed: Inflicts damage equal to 15% of max HP. The bleed debuff activates when an enemy uses Basic Attack, Counterattackm or Speed Attack.
* Burn: Inflicts damage equal to 20% of max HP. The burn debuff activates when a skill is used or when hit by a skill. If this debuff is stacked it will spread to 1 other team member.
* Poison: Inflicts damage equal to 15% of max HP. The poison debuff activates when an enemy uses Basic Attack, Counterattack or Speed Attack. This debuff does not stack but it will spread to 2 other team members.	Asura
* Freeze: A frozen hero will unfreeze after 2 turns or when attacked. After the hero is unfrozen it will inflict 160% damage & ignore the enemies defense. If a frozen hero is hit with another freeze skill it will inflict an additional 100% damage for a total of 260% damage.	Lania
* Death: Kills the target after 2 turns. If the target is immune to debuffs it will deal 100% damage (this damage can not be avoided). If this debuff is stacked it will immediately kill the target.
* Sleep: A sleeping hero can not move or activate skills. The sleep effect is removed upon receiving damage. Attacks on a sleeping target ignore the enemies defense.	--
Immobilize for 2 turn effects. (The target can not cast skills or perform Basic Attacks, Counterattacks or Speed Attacks)
* Stun: Stunned for 2 turns
* Electrify: Electrified for 2 turns
* Paralyze: Paralyzed for 2 turns	Asura
* Petrify: Petrified for 2 turns
Status effects
* Blind: A blind target has high chance of having there Counterattacks, Basic Attacks & Skills miss, dealing 0 dmg.
* Silence: A silenced target can not cast skills. Lasts for 2 turns	Yui

Now that you have a grasp on Debuff effects let's go into team building.

Normal Heroes - PvE Stars
Nia	Lina	Feng Yan	Spina	Snipper	Heavenia	Bi Dam
Special Heroes - PVE Stars
Aris	Rachel	Amelia	Ace	Kris	Eileene	Taka

For Normal heroes: Nia should be top priority. Snipper, Spina, are you're 2 top single target DMG dealers (Shane is decent aswell). Lina and Soi are great all around support hero for all PvE content. Hayoung plays like Lina and is best in Guild Raid & Dark Crown prince. Specialized heroes, like Bi Dam, Feng Yan, Heavenia are worth awakening when you have the chance aswell. Other normal heroes to note are Sieg, Nezha, Yu Shin, Sylvia, Da Qiao , Aragon.

For Pseudo-Special: They (Rev + NC) are all heroes you want to awaken eventually. Aris is on the top of the list here, followed by Taka

The Rev heroes are all good in PvE content outside of boss content, including Tartarus, and have uses in PvP as well. For PvP, Ryan counters Evasion heroes and fits on physical teams, Kyrielle fits on magic and debuff based teams, and Elysia is a solid all around debuff immunity support.

Karl is great for Tank comps in PvP, but his PvE use is very limited.s.

For Special Heroes: Rachel , Aris, Ace are great picks for PvE Content. Amelia / Elysia are solid all around pick for most PvE content / CC immunity in arena. Rin is a solid all around hero, especially for magic teams.

Eileene & Kris work well in Smart Mode, and certain World Bosses. Teo , Jave, Lu Bu are solid backliners for Tartarus & Celestial Tower.

Klahan, Mercure, Miho, Vanessa, Karl / Orly, aren't worth building if you still have a bunch of awakened heroes missing imo.

Mercure and Roro are mainly on the bench until magic teams come back, but Roro has some use in WB with her Pierce, Debuff Removal, and damage increase.

Exclusive Item Selection

Item Selection ^{*In Progress}

Revolutionary Weapons will be the 1st item you should prioritize. They're easy to acquire, cheap, and make a big impact on your PvE damage. These items can be found in the World Boss Shop. You'll want to transcend two Ryan's Crazed Demonic Sword to ⁺¹⁰ for your Physical backliners (Taka, and White Death Snipper) . Then two Kyrielle's Bows to ⁺¹⁰ for your magic backliner ( Spina ).
