A successful early expedition depends on building a balanced party, assigning heroes to suitable roles, using abilities at the right moment, and spending resources carefully. Follow these steps to establish a reliable gameplay loop and avoid wasting limited early-game materials.
Recruit and Review Your Heroes
Recruit available heroes and review their class, combat role, survivability, damage profile, healing value, and ability effects before committing resources.
- Keep at least one durable frontline hero available.
- Maintain access to reliable damage and healing.
- Prioritize heroes that contribute to multiple types of encounters.
Prepare Before Entering a Raid
Check the recommended party roles, equip the best available gear, confirm that heroes are upgraded, and enter with a team that can survive the expected encounter length.
- Do not enter difficult content with an incomplete frontline.
- Upgrade the heroes that will appear in most of your teams first.
- Review enemy behavior before spending consumables or valuable resources.
Assign Clear Combat Roles
Place durable heroes in positions where they can absorb pressure, keep damage dealers protected, and ensure that healing or support abilities cover the main party.
- Use tanks to control enemy attention and protect vulnerable allies.
- Place damage dealers where they can attack consistently.
- Keep healers safe while preserving access to the heroes who need healing most.
Use Skills Manually
Manual ability usage is especially important during elite encounters and raids. Save defensive, healing, crowd-control, and burst abilities for moments when they have the greatest impact.
- Use defensive abilities before a predictable heavy attack.
- Avoid spending major healing skills when the party is only lightly damaged.
- Coordinate burst damage with enemy vulnerability windows.
Distribute Loot by Team Need
Assign equipment and upgrade materials according to role priority rather than distributing every reward evenly. Strengthening the core team usually produces faster progression.
- Prioritize frontline survivability when the party is failing to survive.
- Give key damage upgrades to heroes used across multiple activities.
- Reserve specialized items for heroes intended for long-term use.
Follow a Focused Progression Plan
Advance through available content while improving a compact core roster. Avoid spreading experience, equipment, and upgrade materials across more heroes than your active teams require.
- Build one dependable progression team before expanding into specialized teams.
- Use farming content to improve the weakest essential role.
- Reassess your party whenever a new hero or major upgrade becomes available.
Hero value depends on more than raw damage. Survivability, dependable utility, ability timing, team coverage, and performance in extended encounters all affect where a hero belongs in a practical tier list. Use the role rankings below to build teams around your available roster.
Tank
Primary Raid Frontliners
The strongest tank options combine dependable enemy control, high survivability, and defensive tools that protect the entire party.
Use in progression raids, boss encounters, and any stage where party survival is the main limitation.
Dependable Defensive Tanks
Trustworthy frontline heroes with solid durability and useful defensive abilities, but less complete coverage than the highest-ranked options.
Use as the main tank in early and mid-progression teams or as a secondary frontline option.
Situational Frontliners
Functional heroes whose value depends on enemy composition, available healing, or a specific defensive interaction.
Use for farming, secondary teams, or encounters where their particular strengths are relevant.
DPS
High-Impact Damage Dealers
These heroes provide strong sustained or burst damage while offering enough consistency to remain effective across multiple encounter types.
Use as priority damage investments in progression raids, bosses, and high-difficulty content.
Consistent Damage Dealers
Steady attackers with good output and useful combat patterns, although they may require more support or favorable positioning.
Use as core damage dealers when building balanced teams or specialized farming groups.
Specialist Damage Dealers
Heroes whose performance improves in particular stages, against specific enemy patterns, or when paired with complementary roles.
Use in targeted encounters, secondary teams, and content where their specialization is valuable.
Healer
Primary Raid Healers
The most valuable healers provide steady recovery, efficient skill timing, and enough utility to keep the party stable during long encounters.
Use in boss fights, progression raids, and high-difficulty content where sustained survival matters.
Flexible Support Healers
Strong healing options that can support most teams while contributing additional utility or better performance in specific situations.
Use in standard progression teams, farming parties, and mixed-role compositions.
Situational Recovery Supports
Useful recovery heroes whose effectiveness depends on encounter pacing, incoming damage, or the rest of the party composition.
Use in lighter content, alternative teams, or encounters where their specialized support is sufficient.
The best raid team is determined by the objective. Progression teams need stability, farming teams need speed, boss teams need sustained survival, and high-difficulty teams need precise control over defensive and offensive cooldowns.
Progression Raid Team
Clear new stages consistently while building a dependable core roster.
Composition
Prioritize survivability and consistent damage over short burst windows. Keep the healer protected and use defensive abilities before the party reaches critical health.
Manual Skill Timing
- Use tank mitigation before major enemy attacks.
- Save emergency healing for overlapping damage events.
- Trigger damage abilities after enemy control or vulnerability effects.
Farming Team
Complete repeatable content quickly while maintaining enough safety to avoid failed runs.
Composition
Increase clear speed by using a compact defensive setup and prioritizing heroes with dependable area damage or fast ability cycles.
Manual Skill Timing
- Open with efficient area damage when multiple enemies are grouped.
- Use healing only when it prevents a failed run or reduces downtime.
- Avoid delaying the next encounter for low-impact ability animations.
Boss Encounter Team
Survive long single-target encounters and maintain damage through repeated attack patterns.
Composition
Build around predictable boss mechanics. Maintain stable frontline coverage, reserve defensive cooldowns for telegraphed attacks, and use burst skills during safe damage windows.
Manual Skill Timing
- Pre-cast mitigation before unavoidable boss attacks.
- Keep the healer's strongest recovery skill available for raid-wide damage.
- Align burst abilities with exposed or weakened phases.
High-Difficulty Control Team
Handle difficult content where enemy pressure, timing, and failed ability usage determine the result.
Composition
Trade some raw damage for control, defensive coverage, and steady recovery. Study the encounter pattern and use abilities in response to specific threats rather than immediately on cooldown.
Manual Skill Timing
- Interrupt or control dangerous enemy actions whenever possible.
- Rotate defensive effects instead of overlapping them unnecessarily.
- Hold offensive cooldowns when an important mechanic is approaching.

Gear progression should strengthen complete lineups rather than concentrate every valuable item on a single hero. Start with the equipment needed to keep frontline heroes alive and core damage dealers consistent, then distribute specialized upgrades according to raid roles, encounter requirements, and the strength of the wider roster.
Quality progression
PriorityReplace lower-quality equipment when the new item improves the hero's primary role without creating a major loss in survivability or resource efficiency.
Best UseUse the highest-quality defensive pieces on frontline heroes and the strongest offensive pieces on the damage dealers that appear in multiple raid lineups.
Distribution RuleDo not reserve every top-quality item for one main hero; spread meaningful upgrades across tanks, supports, and damage dealers needed for separate encounters.
Frontline equipment
PriorityPrioritize durability, damage mitigation, and dependable defensive thresholds before minor offensive gains.
Best UseEquip the heroes responsible for holding enemy attention, surviving boss mechanics, and protecting the backline.
Distribution RuleUpgrade the frontline of each active raid team before investing in secondary damage improvements that do not prevent a defeat.
Damage-dealer equipment
PriorityPrioritize the main offensive attributes and equipment effects that improve consistent boss damage rather than short-lived burst alone.
Best UseGive the best offensive upgrades to heroes used in multiple boss teams or heroes whose damage is required to meet encounter timers.
Distribution RuleCompare total team damage and survival impact before moving an item from one damage dealer to another.
Support equipment
PriorityValue energy generation, healing, protection, control resistance, and other effects that allow the team to complete its rotation.
Best UseUse support upgrades on heroes whose buffs, healing, cleansing, or control determine whether a lineup can execute its strategy.
Distribution RuleA support upgrade is often more valuable than a small damage upgrade when it enables an additional ultimate, cleanse, or defensive cycle.
Loot allocation
PriorityDistribute rewards according to roster-wide progression value, encounter coverage, and immediate team requirements.
Best UseCreate a short priority list for active raid teams, then assign duplicate or lower-priority rewards to the next hero who benefits from them.
Distribution RuleAvoid allocating rewards only by individual power score; evaluate the number of teams improved and the number of bosses each upgrade helps defeat.
Talent points should reinforce each hero's assigned responsibility in the lineup. Begin with upgrades that improve consistency and resource efficiency, then specialize for boss mechanics or farming speed once the roster can support dedicated teams.
Frontline
Priority Order
- 1Survivability and damage mitigation
- 2Threat, control resistance, or defensive utility
- 3Recovery and sustained combat value
- 4Offensive talents after defensive requirements are met
Early ProgressionChoose talents that reduce incoming pressure and keep the hero active through longer encounters.
Boss FightsFavor talents that help the frontline survive signature attacks, maintain positioning, and protect the damage dealers during manual timing windows.
Endgame BuildSpecialize according to the boss lineup: durable mitigation for sustained damage encounters or utility and control resistance for mechanic-heavy fights.
Reset GuidanceConsider a reset when the hero changes from general progression duty to a dedicated raid role and the original defensive or farming path no longer supports the lineup.
Priority Order
- 1Dependable primary damage scaling
- 2Critical, skill, or attack consistency where applicable
- 3Resource generation and rotation support
- 4Specialized burst or execute talents
Early ProgressionInvest in steady damage improvements that shorten normal encounters without making the hero too fragile to complete them.
Boss FightsSelect talents that improve sustained damage, ability timing, and performance during the boss's vulnerable phases rather than only improving opening burst.
Endgame BuildUse encounter-specific specialization when a hero is assigned to a dedicated boss team or must meet a strict damage requirement.
Reset GuidanceA reset is valuable when moving between farming and raid builds, especially if the farming path favors speed while the raid path favors sustained damage or timing.
Support
Priority Order
- 1Healing, shielding, or core buff strength
- 2Energy and cooldown consistency
- 3Cleansing, control, or defensive utility
- 4Secondary damage or convenience effects
Early ProgressionPrioritize talents that make the support's core ability available consistently and improve the team's ability to recover from mistakes.
Boss FightsFavor talents that align healing, protection, cleansing, or buffs with the boss's dangerous attack cycle.
Endgame BuildBuild around the exact function required by the team: survival support, offensive amplification, control management, or rotation acceleration.
Reset GuidanceRespec when a support moves between progression, farming, and boss-specific teams and the timing of its core ability changes.
Priority Order
- 1Clear speed
- 2Resource efficiency
- 3Area coverage or repeatability
- 4Survivability for unattended or long farming sessions
Early ProgressionUse broad, efficient upgrades that improve the speed and consistency of routine content.
Boss FightsReplace farming-focused choices with talents that directly support the required boss rotation and survival plan.
Endgame BuildMaintain a dedicated farming setup only when it saves enough time or resources to justify the talent investment.
Reset GuidanceTrack the cost and availability of resets before changing talents frequently; keep a stable general-purpose build when respec resources are limited.
A successful raid plan identifies the boss's main threat, assigns the correct counter, and reserves key abilities for the moments that decide the fight. Before increasing general power, check whether the lineup can survive the mechanic, maintain its rotation, and place each hero where the encounter requires.
Signature Mechanics
Recommended CountersUse durable frontline heroes, defensive supports, healing, shielding, or mitigation talents that match the timing of the dangerous attack.
Positioning RequirementsKeep protected damage dealers and supports away from avoidable area damage when the encounter allows flexible placement.
Manual Skill TimingSave defensive abilities for the known damage window instead of spending them immediately at the start of the fight.
