Team & Strategy

Here we meet again! It took me two days to put together this guide. If you have any feedback or things you want to see, feel free to leave me a message.

Wukong

Wukong is a pure damage monster built around burst and follow-ups. His opener, Annihilation, hits the front and mid rows hard and applies Curse, setting up extra damage two rounds later. His passive stats give him big boosts to ATK, HP, and crit, so he scales fast. The real carry move is Clone Combo: five rapid hits on the front target, with a bonus pursuit strike if he gets a kill, plus self-heal for sustain. Against cursed enemies, his crit chance jumps even higher. Evil Strangling finishes the package by adding bonus damage to low-HP or cursed targets, making Wukong a brutal clean-up specialist.

Marksman Robin

This guide covers the top mages with a brief skill overview and rune recommendations, along with handy Main & Sub DPS picks to help you build the strongest team. Don’t miss the end—there are illustrations at the very bottom!

Nightmare Marlene  

Marlene is a cunning DPS who punishes enemies over time. Nightmare Curse hits random front/mid enemies and generates Dark Souls, which she can later consume to heal and trigger Seven Sins buffs—stacking ATK, Crit, DEF, healing, or extra damage depending on the sin. Dark Dreams hits all enemies with a chance to put them to Slumber, disabling actions. Soul Harvesting passively collects Dark Souls from enemies, letting her keep building buffs and sustain. Overall, Marlene excels at controlling fights, punishing high-value targets, and sustaining herself while dealing heavy damage—perfect for long, drawn-out battles.

Wisdom Bird

Here’s my personal pick of top tank heroes, along with a ranking. At the end of the article, I’ve also included recommended sigils for each hero. Just for reference, so don’t take it as set in stone

Surla

One of the most powerful tanks in the game, thanks to her unique skill, Mermaid Revenant, which has two parts: Mermaid Puppet and Revenant. The Mermaid Puppet heals Surla and boosts her damage reduction and defense, while Revenant increases your team’s ATK and crit rate.

But here’s the thing—Surla is really hard to get. She’s not a great pick for the early stages of the server, and here’s why: you won’t be able to farm enough copies to upgrade her stars anytime soon. Even whales can’t rush her. So I’d recommend saving her for the later stages of the server.

Gotta share one of my favorite mages! Marlene is cute, powerful, and honestly just a lot of fun to play ✨ Here’s how I like to run her, plus some Sigil tips.

1️⃣ General PvP Lineup

Composition: Two mages + one warriorHighlights: Conch provides both control and healing, and Molly is super tanky in the frontline

✨When to use: Great for daily PvP, also newbie-friendly.

2️⃣ Classic “Four Protect One” Lineup

Composition: Two supports + two frontliners + one DPS

Their skills actually combo really well—Stepmother pulls enemies into the front row, right into Wukong’s attack range. Just make sure Stepmother acts before Wukong, or the combo won’t work!🤔

Pics with detailed setup are below.

Yuri Snow – a versatile ranged physical damage hero, beginner-friendly and fits many team compositions.

Team Recommendations (Humorous Player Style)

1️⃣ Team 1 – Stable Output (Highly Recommended)The all-rounder team—works great in PvP and PvE. Steady damage, tanky enough to survive, perfect for beginners and veterans alike. Personally, I strongly recommend this one!
