Guide to Item Shop and Redeem Points Sections
By Azu
This guide will be primarily targeted towards early and mid-game players, helping them make the most efficient use of these shops to maximize progression.
Arena Shop
The Arena Shop has a singular focus: gear. It takes a very long time to grind for gear, which is why opinions vary on whether to spend resources on the weekly Oracle Decree. I leave that as an optional choice—personally, I buy it, but I can understand why some may choose not to.
For gear, prioritize Weapons first since ATK is more valuable than DEF for PvE progression. The general order of importance for gear is:
- Weapon > Boots > Armor > Helmet.
While you can skip the “+” version of weapons, selling them returns full value, so the only downside is the hassle of transferring stats and leveling up gear again.
Lastly, I recommend purchasing 5 extra tries in Arena. It may seem small, but it provides significant long-term benefits.
Guild Shop
Prioritize Seasonal Shards—max them out every season for every hero. It’s essentially free, so make sure to take full advantage of it.
If you end up with extra blue currency, spend it on Doris.
For your main purchases, follow this order:
- Atropos until 12-star.
- Merlin until 12-star.
- Afterward, continue with Atropos to Lightseeker. Once Atropos is maxed, start using her copies to exchange for more valuable heroes.
- Another important item to consider is the Vulcan Hammer. This relic is useful even in the end-game for missions and the Grayshroom area.
Relic Shop
Blades of Chaos should be your top priority—max this relic as it will be the most frequently used among the Epic relics.
Other important relics to consider are the Healing Vase and Kamier’s Lamp.
A common survival combo you’ll use frequently is:
- Healing Vase -> Kamier’s Lamp -> Blades of Chaos
This setup ensures you get Holy Shield in round 1, which can dramatically affect the outcome of the fight, especially in PvE levels such as Rift Odyssey (RO), Celestial Tower (CT), or against PvE Doomsdayers.
Keep in mind that these relics require a certain star level for the combo to work effectively. Until then, it’s best to level all three relics equally.
Yggdrasil Shop
The priority items here are Relic Decree and Refinement Ore.
For hero progression:
- Macaria to 8*
- Talos to 8, then continue leveling Talos further. Guinn to 8
Once these are done, focus on:
- Dorabella > Persephone > Athena to 12*, and then continue with Dorabella to Lightseeker.
Abyss Shop Strategy
Purchase Gear Early: Focus on acquiring gear in the early game.
Mid-Game Purchases: As you progress, invest in Oracle Decrees, Summons, and Relic Scrolls based on your needs. Gear remains valuable, so select what you need most at the moment.
Hero Priorities
- Upgrade Talanis to 8 stars.
- Upgrade Dullahan to 8 stars, then continue focusing on Dullahan for further upgrades.
- Upgrade Arkdina to 8 stars.
Note: Non-DD heroes in this shop hold no value.
Rank Shop
Legendary Relic Shards: These are more valuable than any heroes, as you’ll need a lot of relics and numerous shards to upgrade them effectively.
Awaken Order Chests: These are superior to all other items in the shop.
Recommendation: Focus exclusively on purchasing Legendary Relic Shards and Awaken Order Chests from this shop.
Skin Shop
Caution on Skins: I wouldn’t recommend spending gems on skins for heroes that are rarely used (e.g., Marina) or for heroes whose power doesn’t change with the skin (e.g., Dorabella).
Personal Choice: However, if you enjoy collecting skins or simply find them visually appealing, feel free to invest as you like. Just remember that each skin costs 12,000 diamonds and takes 120 days to acquire.
