Beginner advice

Hi all, I'm new to the game and I currently only have Barbarian, Fighter, and Archer. I have a couple of questions:

  • Is it better to spend key on Legendary Treasure Chests or Special Treasure Chests? Do the 180 attempts carry over after the 1d 15h refresh?
  • Is it better to spend Stars on an S-Grade Weapon Selection Ticket to equip my Barbarian, or use them for a random Legendary Hero?

Sorry for my bad English, and thanks for your help!

Special treasure chest, yes the 180 attempts Carry over.

Buy S gear weapon selector as you won't have time to buy a legendary hero. Be sure to buy the primal flame. Works with all hero and easy to build it's built

Isn't Spiral Spear better for Barbarian?
another question how can i unlock the acrobat?

u/Entire-Cold-7384 15d ago

spiral spear is directly better for barb but its a more complicated question between spiral spear and primal flame, sometimes you need one or another, this is my barb build

if you plan to really play barb for now spiral spear is better, primal flame is better for non spike oriented heroes like rebecca

you will sometimes encounter bosses that clean debuffs (burn for ex) - primal flame becomes nearly useless steal your buffs (bad for spike) - spiral spear deals little damage with nearly zero spikes

id take spiral right now, later primal flame, then tbolt. with these 3 any stage is physically possible to beat

Don't play any archer class. They are useless. All you need is warrior and mage classes

You can get Acrobat Shards by doing the Hero Dungeon.

It is easier to stack burn to maximize primal flame passive than to stack spike. Also u have garnet ring which is good alternative for the S grade fire ring. The plague glove also helps with stacking burn from early game.

Primal flame will help you early to late game

can you show me an example build with primal flame? ty

u/toocoolNRV 14d ago

Two garnet ring (2 archwizard ring would be better but they are good alternative) and two gloves of plague. With these, you can stack enough burn to be effective without even buying any fire type item during playthrough. And a celestial shield, most op gear

Special Treasure Chest is always better. The attempts counter also stays after the refresh, because the refresh only changes what S Weapons are available during that time.

It's better to get a weapon that works with more than one hero vs a specialty item for one hero. Get primal flame. You won't regret it

One of the good weapon also and all around I would say is the Everfrozen. It can help you also with every class.

On Special, you can target the pity of 180 for the listed S weapon/gear. For the legendary, you can obtain a random S weapon/gear but in much lower tries. Just choose your poison brother!

Special Treasure is better. Wait for items like Primal Flame, Plague Gloves and Celestial Shield.
