FAQ

### How does Leveling work in this game?

* Both active and inactive monsters as well as your Dark lord gain the same base amount of experience at the end of a battle. No matter how many monsters you own.

 Skill

Books 1/2/3 in the table are the following books. Those rates happen at **12.5% Chance.**

### Who is the best Dark Lord(DL)?

* There isn't really any DL that is strictly the best one. They all have affinities with certain mechanics and you gotta learn about those. If you build around those, your run will be way more successful. You can reach the famous 10,000 Days in the hardest difficulty with every DL, but most people find Elizabeth easier to get the hang of when you start playing.

### What is the best build?

* Once again it has to be elaborated around the DL you picked. Though it's usually easier to play full monster builds early on since many traps are still locked at that point while most monsters are accessible.

### How Do trial cards work and how does the difficulty influence the score?

* So first of all once you have hit Day 100 on Hard 10, you will unlock the Trial difficulty, on the Trial difficulty, there is 1 new possible card tile, the Trial card, if you land on a  Trial card, you will get 3 choices, all of those will either negatively affect your Monsters or positively effect the enemy Heroes for the duration of the run, and you will get a forced Trial on day 38 and every 40 days afterwards

#### Why pick trial cards if they only have downsides?

* They give you exp/score for each day since you acquired them, so having a trial card with +10 exp effect for 100 days = 1000 more base exp
* After you finish a run, all the exp you acquired will be multiplied with your trial difficulty multiplier (for Trial 10 it would be x32) or in other words, the 1,000 exp are at the end 32,000 exp.

### What are adjacent rooms exactly?

* A room that touches that room with a side or a corner, so there are up to 8 adjacent rooms, this also applies to the DL room, the 3 rooms in front of the DL room are adjacent to it

### How to unlock all DLs and their awakening?

* You can get all DLs except Irea from the basic pack and their awakening from the awakening pack You Unlock Irea in the Protect your Lord challenge on normal difficulty and her awakening on the DL level 1 challenge hard difficulty

###  How to get more Mana and what is maximum amount of Mana?

* There are a total of 4 relics that grant Mana, 3 of them are potions (relics) that directly give you Mana (up to 10 Mana), another one is a relic that gives you 1 Mana if you rest, caps once you are at 40 Mana. Anyway if you get the potions and afterwards rest 20 times you will be at 40 Mana and resting won´t increase your Mana further, however if you rest from 10 Mana to 40 Mana, and afterwards take the Mana potion you will be at 50 Mana, or in other words max Mana is 50, and "minimum" max Mana is 40 Mana Since 1.6.0+ We have a new repeatable boss relic, which grants 1 mana, it is advised that you rest to 40 mana before you consider picking mana from boss battles.

### What are the differences between on Attack, on Damage (Inflicting damage) and on Kill?

* On Attack skills ONLY activate whenever that Monster attacks, this means for example that mana abilities do not work with it since they are not attacks (for example Crystal Hammer).
* On Damage skills, activate whenever that Monster or DL does damage, this can be from skills and attacks (not DL mana skills). note that if the damage is blocked by armor it will not activate on damage effects. (for example Deadly Blade)

* On Kill skills, activate whenever that Monster or DL kills a Hero, this can also be from skills,attacks and even mana abilities (for example Bone Hammer).

### **Do on Damage skills work for DL mana abilities?**

* For monsters skills, No, they don't. (ex. Deadly Blade on your dl will not give poison to the heroes when using mana abilities)
* For weapons with on damage skills, No, they don't. (ex. Solar Scepter will not give shock and burn to the heroes when using mana abilities)
* For weapons with on kill skills, they do activate if your dl kill a hero with a mana ability (ex. Bone Hammer).

### Do skills stack?

* Passives skills do not stack unless they are eye of mind and diamond skin.
* Active Skills do stack. Having multiple of the same skill will make the skill have a higher chance to be activated (usually is not worth). Refer to the page of monster skills for the table with the CD of active skills.

### What are multi hits?

* Multi hits will show like this **Total Damage(number of hits)** (ex. 150(x3) meaning 150 damage on 3 hits). why sometimes skill like Blade Storm that should have 3 hits, show only show x2 or not even a multi hit? is because you can't overkill heroes, so if they died on the first or second hit of Blade Storm they can't receive the third hit.

### Why can't I find prison, altar and black market?

* After Patch 1.7 they can no longer be found on normal and hard difficulty.

### When should I start Corrupting Heroes?

* You can start corrupting heroes after completing the day 340 T1 run. Before that you don't really need corrupted heroes because fusion monsters should be enough to get to day 500 on T10.

#### How does Mental, Torture and Corruption work?

* Mental is the hero resistance to being corrupted, to reduce this stat you need to torture a Hero, the lower the % the easier is to corrupt Heroes.
* To torture a Hero you need to be at a Dungeon fate card and pick torture, there you will be able to choose a torture tool to use on the hero (refer to the Torture page to know the tool effectiveness for every hero). The Monster you choose have no effect, so choose the worst Monster you have.
* To corrupt a Hero you need to be at a Black Market fate card and pick corrupt, there you will be able to choose which hero to corrupt at the cost of souls (refer to the Torture page to know the formula for corruption cost).

#### What are the best Corrupted Heroes / What Heroes should I corrupt?

* Corrupted Priest are a good and easy hero to corrupt, if you want something better you can see for yourself what you want by going to the Torture and Corruption page.
