PHASE 1: STARTING

• To start, I recommend that you choose a Paladin.

• Choose a referrer for 300 free rubies when you reach level 50 (Also you might be able to help someone who’s in need of rubies). Try asking in the discord channel for referrers.

PHASE 1.1: CHOOSE A FREE DRAGON BUSTER/DARK SOUL

*Note: This phase is available until September 30th October 20 (EXTENDED) only as an event for chapter 4-3 release, so hurry up before it ends!

*Note #2: This phase is available until NOVEMBER 30TH only as an event for chapter 4-4 release, so hurry up before it ends!

• When connecting to the game, you’ll receive a Dragon Buster/Dark Soul choice ticket. Choose Askr.

• Mount the key onto your Paladin.

PHASE 2: CLEARING THE BUSTER MISSION

• After mounting Askr onto your main character, click the Buster Mission button (which looks like an envelop in the middle top of your screen)

• You’ll then see a list of 7 Dragon Busters, scroll to any buster (don’t worry it doesn’t matter) and click the red button. You’ll receive a Draco Choice Ticket (Choose Greysoul!!!), 4 Packs of 10-ally summon, 30 Light Essences and 4 million gold:

• Now your “Mission” is to ULTIMATE your Draco Greysoul by using up the provided resources (and some extra, by-yourself resources too!).

• Try clearing the first map (killing King Gram) for 800 rubies. Try leveling up to get some reward rubies and then buy the 1490-ruby pot for a secondary character (Rogue preferably) and get 5 Class Choice Tickets. Choose all 5 Mage Tickets to see if you can get Yvante/Belle Snow/Whay. (IMPORTANT!) – If you cannot find these 3, try getting them as soon as possible so you can awaken them to make Sasha as soon as possible.

• After ULTIMATEing your Draco Greysoul, choose Kymael for the 7 Angel Choice Ticket (and ULTIMATE her) and Drunken Falcon for Boden Choice Ticket (also ULTIMATE him).

• NEW: NOW STOP and let’s breathe and let me give you a quick rundown of the 7 dragon busters and their roles and why it’s worth to pick any of most of them:
• If you pick PLUTO, the benefits of pre-Transcend phase is minimal since he won’t do you any good outside of arena being a good tank. However, he is the material for the most useful Transcended Tank (aka Transcended Deathcrown) who rocks in almost every mode from PVP (because of his tankiness) to PVE (because of his team support and stun). If you pick Pluto, your path will go:

However, this path will leave you no keyholder until you make Draco Deathcrown (yes this is another downside); also, T.Deathcrown is a cooperative unit as he IS great only when put in team. Thus, this path is worth picking but not highly recommended.

• If you pick GAIA, the only good field she will be able to do is PVP while pretty meh in any other mode. Yet, she is the material for the powerful Transcended Brightspark who shines like a diamond (I mean it!) in PVP scene. If you pick Gaia, your path will go:

Still, this path will also leave you no keyholder until you make Draco Brightspark (from scratch ew!); plus, Transcended Brightspark does not work well with World Bosses (maybe a bit of Hydra but that’s it). Thus, this path is also not recommended.

• Picking EPSILON is not very a good choice since she’s pretty meh in most fields without proper team setups. She is also the material for the MOST WONDERFUL SUPPORTER aka Transcended Blackaria. If you pick Epsilon, your path will go:

Once again, this path will also leave you no keyholder until you make Draco Blackaria. Thus, this path is recommended but it would take longer to achieve what you want.

• Picking OURANOS meanwhile is a slightly better choice with her getting buffed lately (which makes her a breast in raid/pve). She is also the material for the renowned WB King aka Transcended Bloodwind. If you pick Ouranos, your path will go:

Without a doubt, this path will also leave you no keyholder until you make Draco Bloodwind. Also, Transcended Bloodwind is a underperforming unit for PVP. However, the benefits from following this path is decent. Thus, this path is recommended if you’re really into PVE/World Bosses.

• Picking STIGMA is probably the best option I’d recommend. Why? First, Stigma is a great Raid key, which comes in handy when you need to farm for new gears; also, you already have Greysoul which can be used to make Transcended Greysoul (who is a good unit for starters). If you pick Stigma, your path will go:

There is no downside following this path considering the key and the Transcended Unit are both beneficial. Thus, this path is highly recommended.

On a side note, you don’t really necessarily need to make these Transcended Allies at once. Just achieve them steps by steps 🙂

• The last two Busters are Iota and Omega. These were the most chosen pre-Transcendence phase. However, they are not to be used to make any Transcended Ally (up to now); and OMEGA is underperforming comparing to other paladin keys (he’s only good right now in one field: Shariet – ONLY IN HIS ULTIMATE FORM due to its immunity to debuff). So I’d recommend that you choose neither.

• So which DB is to be picked? Your call!

PHASE 3: RAID TIME!

• Use the free Equipment set you’ve got from Rogue.
• Now with the rogue being level 99 (equipped with Stigma key if you chose Stigma :P) and with a decent set of equipment, you can go raid from season 1, 2 and 3.
• After raiding all the possible raids, you’ll get 1970 rubies in total.

PHASE 4: BACK TO THE PALADIN

• Now get back to the paladin to continue the rest of the story (free rupias yasss).
• Then, use one normal SSS Paladin to deify it to Tiel and Helios, respectively-> ULTIMATE Tiel, Helios +  then make your 3rd key: Helios.  [Buy a Paladin Set in the shop for Falcon and link them to these two new units – Gear Linking Guide]

  

PHASE 5: AWAKENING!

• Try clearing the first map of season 4 with your Paladin, and a ULTIMATE Buster friend (you can ask for them in discord or 1611).
• Remember to clear the stage all by yourself and only activate your friend helper at the end of the stage (when you battle yourself).
• TIP: Paladin’s recommended skill point distribution for WB purposes and key holding:

Pre-Awakening (lvl 99)

Active
10/10/10
0/0/1
Passive
0/0/10

Post-Awakening (lvl 108)

Active
1/1/10
0/0/3
0/0/1
Passive
5/0/10
6/6/6

PHASE 6: SASHA!

• Let’s assume you’ve got all 3 required allies for Sasha which are Belle, Yvante and Whay and awakened + Ultimated them + made Sasha key, mount your Sasha onto Belle for PVE purposes (WBs) and onto Whay for PVP purposes.

• Don’t forget to mount Iota onto Yvante too if you’ve chosen Iota.
• And as soon as you get Sasha, start working on ULTIMATE Sasha.

PHASE 7: RAVENGALE!

• Now that you’ve ULTIMATE your Sasha, it’s time to work on your first Transcended Ally.
• Try getting a random SSS Incanter and deify him/her to Ravengale (also ULTIMATE her of course):

• To make a Transcended Ally you need: 50 Transcendental Essences (= 50 of each kind of SSS essences) + 1 ULTIMATE Deity (Ravengale) + 1 ULTIMATE key (Sasha).

• And voila, you got your first Transcended Deity!

PHASE 8: WHAT’S NEXT?

• Now at this point, you’ve got a sense of how the game works, you can participate in other game modes such as Arena/Tag Match/WBs/ etc. and try your best to get the most out of your allies.
• As for the next Allies that you should make, Ultimate your Askr and make Transcended Kymael:

• Then, start working on your 2nd Transcended Ally based on the Buster Mission key you’ve chosen.
• After that, solidify your team with enhancements to exisiting keys and deities. Try getting back to ULTIMATE Askr and Transcended Kymael as stated above.

• You can read >>here<< to find out which Transcended you want next in your team (depending on which field you want to specialize in: PVP or PVE) and then gradually get the materials needed to make them.

TIPS

• TIP 1: to do all this, you need SSS Allies and essences. You can get SSS from the Shop, level 50/70/90/100 rewards, Tower of Validation and through combining SS. Besides SSS allies, you need essences too. So here’s some location of essence farming that I usually use:

Light Essences

Hero Essences

Titan Essences

• TIP 2: With the rubies you get, DO NOT buy Allies anymore as fodders can be farmed with shoes (also, remember to utilize the ally drop buff to farm more As, Bs and Cs fodders). So use the rubies to buy Shoes and maybe Essences later. Also, use the rubies to unlock the accessory slots and the potions slots too (those will become vital later).
• TIP 3: Try farming the U99 set or more preferably the 105 set AND Nebula stones to ULTIMATE your equipments to progress to story.
• TIP 4: Try enchanting magic effects on your weapons. The preferred effect is cooldown reduction and DOT DMG. [link to magic effect translation]
• TIP 5: Try imbuing jewels onto your weapons and armors. And remember: INT for Mages/Incanters/Tiel, STR for Warriors/The rest of the Paladins, DEX for Rogues/Archers and STA for Priests. [link to stat translation]
• TIP 6: Try giving the right skill cards for your allies. You can find recommended skill cards for allies in my tier list. Also check this dual skill card guide: [link to dual skill card guide]
• TIP 7: Try farming the 104 earrings for all your allies and main characters (since they give you 21 additional attack speeds). The 104 earrings can be farmed here:

and it looks like this:

• TIP 8: Try MAXing your Transcended Allies as soon as possible since all of them are great with their MAX Passives.
• TIP 9: Gold will become a trouble, so 500 rubies for 100m gold in shop is not a bad deal 😉
• TIP 10: In case you’re wondering, this is a recommended method to enhance allies:

>To enhance an SS, for the first 4 enhancements (+4) use 5~6 Bs then lots of Cs. From +5 onwards, use 1A, 1~2Bs and then lots of Cs.

>To enhance a normal SSS, use 3As then lots of Bs; or 1S, 1A then lots of Bs.

>To enhance a deity, use 1~2S then lots of A; or to save essences, use 1SS then 2S’s then As.

• TIP 11: Try asking in channels like 1611 or Discord to join a guild so they can help you with questions more effectively. [link to guild system guide]
• TIP 12: Don’t forget to check out the rest of my guides in the GAME GUIDES section 😀
• TIP 13: You can get a sense of which ally is good for certain modes by looking at my tier list.
• TIP 14: You can always PM me in game (Amarantine/Briaphiel), find me in discord (@Amarantine), drop me a comment on this blog, ask me in reddit (/u/khangvn08) if you have any doubt or trouble.
• TIP 15: Pray RNGesus everyday, thee shall pass 😛

If you have any suggestion, don’t hesitate to drop me a comment on this post!

Good luck and happy gaming!
