Optimal Party Composition

Pro Tip: A party with 1 Tank + 2 DPS + 1 Support is the most efficient for all dungeon content. For 8-player Abyss, add a second Support and fill remaining slots with DPS.

Boss Fight Tips

1. Learn the phase transitions — bosses gain new abilities at HP thresholds

2. Save burst for vulnerability windows — after big attacks, bosses are often stunned

3. Use Sacred Weapon during enrage — Sacred Weapon damage ignores boss defense

4. Position behind the boss — most frontal attacks can't hit you

5. Bring potions — even with a healer, self-healing saves lives

  • FAQ

    Q: Which dungeon should I farm first?

    A: Farm the highest-level dungeon you can clear efficiently. If a dungeon takes more than 15 minutes per run, go back to the previous one.

    Q: Do I need a full party for dungeons?

    A: Training Grounds and Corite Ruins can be soloed by experienced players. Ether Mine+ requires a proper party.

    Q: What's the best farming class?

    A: Demolisher is the fastest dungeon farmer due to AoE damage. Arbiter is best for solo content due to self-sustain.
