🏰 Dungeons

Priority Order — Mid Game

1. 1

   Dragon's Lair — farm first

   Primary source of Speed and Accuracy sets. These two stats gate almost everything else in the game. Get to stage 16+ as fast as possible and stay here.

2. 2

   Spider's Den — farm second, every day

   The main source of accessories (Banners, Amulets, Rings) — you won't reliably get accessories anywhere else. Target stage 10 minimum, push to 15+.

3. 3

   Ice Golem's Peak — third

   Defensive sets: Reflex, Provoke, Frostbite. Less critical than Dragon/Spider but feeds your tanks and arena defenders.

4. 4

   Fire Knight's Castle — last, need the right team first

   Home of Regeneration and Savage sets, but hardest dungeon mechanically. Don't invest here until you have 3+ multi-hitters and a TM control champion.

The Three Stage Thresholds That Matter

Don’t worry about every stage number. These three thresholds are the only ones worth planning around:

Dungeon Mechanics — What You Actually Need to Know

Dragon’s Lair

• Boss surfaces periodically — poison and burns are your damage window
• Waves die to any AoE; boss needs DoT or straight damage
• Team need: 1 speed lead, poisoner or damage dealer, survivability on waves
• Push Dragon before anything else — Speed set dependency is real

Spider’s Den

• Spiderlings revive infinitely unless killed with a killing blow (not DoT)
• Turn meter reduction is the cleanest solve — Armiger is a free “cheat code” here (uncommon champion, get him)
• Healer is important; Spiderlings bleed you dry
• Team need: TM control (Armiger), healer, single-target damage for spiderlings

Fire Knight’s Castle

• Boss has a shield that absorbs almost everything — must be broken with hits, not damage
• Stage 20: you need 10 hits to break the shield per rotation
• Multi-hit A1 champions are mandatory: Coldheart, Alure, Apothecary, Warmaiden etc.
• Cannot apply debuffs while shield is up
• Team need: 3+ multi-hitters on A1, 1 healer, 1 TM reducer

Ice Golem’s Peak

• Klyssus has 2 minions and a threshold passive (Frozen Reckoning) at 80/60/45/30/15% HP that hits the team and revives the Golem’s dead allies — keep both minions dead and/or burst him past thresholds
• Living minions at a threshold also raise his Freeze chance and let him bypass DEF
• Freeze is the main threat — Resistance / debuff-cleanse helps
• Team need: AoE/sustained damage to control the minions, a cleanser or RES, block-revive is a strong counter

Energy Allocation — Mid Game

Roughly split your daily spare energy like this:

Grim Forest

Grim Forest is a separate monthly game mode — not a traditional dungeon, but the closest thing to one and worth knowing about. Unlocked at Account Level 55. It resets every 30 days with a new map layout.

How it works:

• Explore a fog-of-war map with 400+ stages across branching paths
• 30 Distorted Energy per day (does not carry over — use it)
• Stage difficulty is colour-coded: Green (easy) → Yellow → Red → Purple (hardest, 3 champions drafted)
• Defeat 7 unique bosses; collect 3 Grim Crowns to unlock the final boss Leshun
• Earn Trait Cards (permanent stat stacks for the rotation), Curios, and Grim Coins

Deck building: Hard Mode requires two decks of 20 champions each (40 total). Each stage randomly drafts a subset of your deck — harder stages draft fewer, so your weakest champions will eventually be on the team. Don’t mono-stack one deck.

Most important mechanic: Block Debuffs. Bosses like Draugnell spam AoE Freeze/Provoke, Maximoz stacks heavy Poison, Tauraze applies healing-Burns. Champions that can cleanse or block debuffs are your highest priority picks for both decks.

Why it matters for relics: Completing Grim Forest stages daily earns Grim Forest relic materials — the source for the GF relic group including Lens of Intangibility (best Ignore DEF relic in the game). Treat daily GF clears the same as daily FW Hard runs: both are mandatory material pipelines.
