## Staging

Every 100 levels, there is a boss who is immune to ALL elements except one. The rotation starts at level 600 beginning with Water => Earth => Fire=> Light => Dark. You begin the game with Luka, so you won't need to worry until stage 700..

After level 1000, the cycle continues Water => Earth => Fire => Light => Dark.

In order to beat stage 100, you need a combined gold level and Prism level equal to 100, the first time that you beat level 100, you will not have any Prisms.

After beating level 125, you can Ascend for the first time. After your first ascension, you gain Prisms, which are levels that will stick with your character until you remove them from your lineup.

If you want to beat level 200, you could have Luka at gold level of 150, and Prism level of 50.

Continue doing this until your gold levels are slowing you down, and ascend when the game takes too long.

Up until you beat stage 600, you can pour all of your Prism levels into Luka.

After that, you simply rinse and repeat with your Green hero, then Red, etc.

**\*Note that each extra  will effectively increase your gold/prism level by 15.\*** This means a   with 15 prism levels is equivalent to a

## Best Heroes for Staging

Water type - **Luka**

Earth Type - **Pinky** > **Voodoo Dagger**

Fire Type - **Monki King** > **Scud** > **Tiny Dragon**

Light Type - 4 **Hikari** > **One-Eye** > **Light Knight**

Dark Type - **Kasumi** > **Bat**

\***Note**\* - Move Speed is a crucial factor in progress speed-the faster the hero, the faster you move through stages.

WATER: You start the game with Luka, the only Water type that excels at staging. His 4 Star Passive increases his own and all other Water types Move Speed.

EARTH: Pinky is faster than Voodoo Dagger and has a decent 4 Star ability. Voodoo Dagger is a common so he can gain medals through Dungeons and Chests. Pinky is also an event hero which is only obtainable via **Lunar New Year (LNY)** or **Reminiscence of the Past** Events.

FIRE: Monki King has a great 4 Star Passive. It doesn't increase his Move Speed, but it makes him stage quicker. Tiny Dragon is the best early game choice because he is a common. You can earn medals for Tiny Dragon through Dungeons as well as Chests.

LIGHT: Hikari is the fastest Light hero and provides Move Speed for the entire team with his 4 Star Passive. Because he is an Epic hero, it is very hard difficult to get him to 4 Star. One Eye is a Crusher who can be purchased through the Crusher Chest. Light Knight is another common who you can earn medals for through Dungeons and Chests.

DARK: Kasumi is faster than Bat after 4 Star. Bat is a common who you can earn medals for through Dungeons and Chests.

## Artifacts

At the beginning of the game you should be able to clear the first set of Dungeons pretty easily. For example Gorilla King 5 only needs a prism level 75 to defeat him. You can always check what is required by tapping on the dungeon that you want information about. 4 artifact slots is a decent place to start. By the time you get all four of the 4 stars listed below, you are going to want to work towards nine slots. Some good starting artifacts are as follows:

 Statue of Rewards - Increase the resource rewards from dungeons

 Mecha Axe - Increase the Atk/Def for all heroes
 Silver Armor - Increase Health for all heroes and village production
 Time Artifact - Reduce village production duration and increases the village production

 Laser Sword - Increase the Atk/Def for all heroes
 Goldskin - Increase the Health for all heroes and Increase the village production

 Goat God - Reduce the village production duration and increase the village production.

 Gold Cauldron - Reduce the cost of upgrading the village.

As you can see I only listed the "generic" artifacts, the ones that increase all heroes Atk/HP/Def. Those are the best for your entire team. Once you have more than 4 artifact slots you can work on the more specific artifacts for each element. In order to be able to obtain  artifacts you have to completely level up a  artifact and obtain a Art Stone T4. Once you have that you can buy more from the Arena store, or max out some more 4 stars.

## Guilds

Make sure to join a guild after level 100, which is the first opportunity you will have to join a guild. Guilds provide benefits which you can see on this Guild Library page. Other benefits include Guild coins which you can use to purchase medals for heroes you own. You can request 10 medals for common heroes you own up to 3 times a day, if timed correctly. Sundays you can request any hero, excluding Blitz, Crusher, or special event heroes. You also will have the opportunity to participate in Slay Boss Events. During those events you will earn resources in order to purchase Event Artifacts. You will also be able to participate in Guild Quests, which earn a variety of resources.

## Event Artifacts

Listed from top to bottom in terms of importance. You obtain Event Artifacts from the Slay Boss Event with your guild. At lower levels your goal is to use your guild energy to fight the main boss. After each main boss there are 3 random generic bosses that follow. When you fight the main boss, he will drop resources that you can use to purchase these artifacts.

 15  | Frosty Shield

This is a large list and you are not expected to have all of these slots or be able to afford any of the really good ones at the top any time soon. One thing to note is once you purchase an event artifact it will cost 10  to sell, while normal Artifacts costs 25  for 100% of the resources and 0  for 70% of the resources.
