### Optimization

#### What is the best skill?

Blade Tornado. Get it to awakening 5 ASAP.

#### What are the best glyphs?

All ATK. Technically monster/ATK/monster is best for monsters and ATK/boss/ATK is best for bosses, but start with all ATK.

#### Which damage multiplier is best?

Speaking only of Attack, Attack Amplifications, Final Damage, Crit Damage, Super Crit Damage: the short answer is that eventually you will get to the point where they're all the same (the difference will be negligible and practically zero for most cases).

Technically, the order from best to worst is Attack, Attack Amplifications, Final Damage, Crit Damage, Super Crit Damage.

Normal Attack will be much worse than these until late game, when it will begin to become good because it affects .

Skill DMG and Slash/Aura/Magic damage are worse than they appear, because they are not individual modifiers. Your Skill DMG is *added* to your Slash/Aura/Magic damage, and that number is used as a multiplier for your skill's damage. This means that any increases to these stats are only increasing *part* of a modifier rather than the whole modifier.

#### How should I upgrade my rings?

Rings are weird compared to other gear - they upgrade by eating ring copies rather than gear stones, the upgrade is RNG-based, and the power curve from the upgrades is very non-linear.

**Optimal Strategy:**

* NEVER, EVER UPGRADE YOUR HIGHEST RING. EVER. DON'T DO IT.
* Upgrade rings from the bottom up. +10 your Common D, then +10 your Common C, etc. Only upgrade a ring once you've maxed the ring below it.
* Don't upgrade your top 3 rings at all (until you get to very very late game and are dealing with trans rings). Keep them at +0 to speed up merging into a higher ring. Disassemble them, if needed, to +10 your fourth most powerful ring. (Exception: don't upgrade your Fant rings at all; leave your Fant A alone rather than using it to +10 your Fant D. It's better to use it to reach Trans D earlier. To see when to upgrade fantasy rings, see Spending Fantasy Gear.)
* Once you've hit the limit of the last step, your highest +10 is going to be your most powerful ring. Equip it, not your highest ring. Yes, the game will give you a red dot complaining about it. Ignore it. Welcome to red dot hell, you'll be here for a while. (When you get trans rings this'll finally stop; they jump enough that it's worthwhile to equip your highest.)

### Mileage

#### What is mileage?

Mileage is a currency that can be used in the Mileage tab in the Shop.

#### How do I get mileage?

Mileage is included in many packages that can be purchased with real-world money, usually at a rate of between 140 - 150 mileage per $1 USD spent. With the exception of very rare event rewards, this is the only way to acquire mileage.

#### What should I buy with mileage?

Skill select tickets or possibly skin awakening stones. Skill select tickets are probably better in the long run.

### Miscellaneous Questions

#### Why is it so hard to get collection relics now?

The drop rate for relics in the first stages is very high, but it drops quickly. The recommendation is to buy relics with gems after stage 8. Buy min dmg, max dmg, and hp at every stage. Only buy defense and hpr if the completion bonus is good (basically, any bonus that isn't defense, hp recovery, or attack speed).

#### What is maximum emblem level?

400 for emblems that increase your rewards, i.e. GOLD Drop, EXP Earn, Drop Rate, Growth Tower Reward, Gear Stone Tower Reward, Skill Growth Boss Reward. 1000 for all others. (Source)

#### What is maximum level for gear?

10 for rings, 1000 for swords, armor, and belts. Max level for sword/armor/belt is initially 200, but can be awakened up to five times, increasing the maximum level each time.

#### Do I still need crit rate / crit damage once my super crit rate is 100%?

Yes. Only your crits have a chance to become super crits. Super crits are multiplied by both your crit damage multipler and your super crit damage multiplier.
