Introduction
When I started playing this game i was really annoyed because i couldnt find any helpful information. Now i want to make a guide to help make the start in this game easier. My english isn´t the best but ill try :)

This guide contains my personal opinion and i probably isnt 100% accurate.

Pls correct me if u find mistakes. some things i had to remember of my mind because they arent stated in the game if u have them unlocked.



Heroes
In this game there are 13 heroes divided in 4 classes. Paladin, Mage, Priest, and Rogue. Paladins are tanky and have abilitys like taunt to protect ur other heroes.
Mages are squishy and have high damage aoe skills and strong single target spells as well as awesome support abilitys.
Priests are obviously the healers.
Rogue have strong basic attacks as well as as solid hp. Many skills focus on taking out single targets with huge amounts of hp.

My team is Malik a good healer with the capability of reviving ur other heroes and a silence. Vera with the highest dmg aoe spell in the game that deals tons of damage and a decent single target spell to finish off low health monster. Nevar has decent aoe, the capability to give mana to vera and the awesome ability to share and reduce all incoming damage in ur team avoid lethal hits on ur heroes. Grey is in my opinion the best rogue but he has no aoe at all. Another decent healer is caris so you could consider changing malik for caris and revar for grey. By now this seem to be the strongest team to me.

Leveling
Tips: For me it worked best to finish the Onyx moon campagne as fast as possible to unlock the new heroes and use them untill i unlocked Nevar, Malik and Vera my current team. You can use some blinks from the inn to do the highest mission in your campagne a few times to get a level up here and there. The player Anubis (worlds 1. to finish the campagne) told me that a reason for him to be that fast was probably that he traded his essences in the beginning for gold. this could definitly help if you are lacking gold to upgrade skills.
Labyrinth
Level 1: really small dont know exactly how many squares. (Basic)

Level 2: same as level 1, slightly bigger (lvl 10 hero required)

Level 3
: same as level 2, first floor finished (lvl 20 hero required)

Level 4; same as level 3, u unlock stairs (second floor) (lvl 30 hero required)

Level 5: same as lvl 4, second floor slightly bigger (lvl 40 hero required)

Level 6: same as lvl 5, second floor finished, lab finished (lvl 50 hero required), costs 60k stone


Do not use ur stones to upgrade traps or orbs in the beginning. Use them to upgrade ur labyrinth and maybe your worker den. Upgrading your labyrinth is the most important thing in the beginning because your amount of energy and your energy regeneration is directly related to your labyrinth level.
Guards
The amount of minions u have assigned to a master guard equals the amount of minins spawning. Every time an enemy encounters the guards it is randonly choosen wich of the assigned minions will appear together with the master guard.
DO NOT UPGRADE UR STARTER GUARDS.
Use ur essences to summon minion. Upgrade Purple minion guards and save your legendary essence to summon master legendary guards. Upgrade those of course.



PVP Raiding
PvP raiding is an important aspect of the game. Check for the amount of energy the raid costs to see the max lvl of the guards in the labyrinth.

10 energy: max lvl 10 guards, labyrinth lvl 1
12 energy: max lvl 20 guards, labyrinth lvl 2
14 energy: max lvl 30 guards, labyrinth lvl 3
16 energy: max lvl 40 guards, labyrinth lvl 4
18 energy: max lvl 50 guards, labyrinth lvl 5
20 energy: max lvl 60 guards, labyrinth lvl 6

look for the items u can get u want blue or purple ones because they give more money. In my experience u get one of the displayed items and multiple others as well. It is really efficint to raid bots from the game because they allways have the same items and dont change their maze. In generall you dont want to attack labyrinths thats max guard lvl exceed ur player level. Only if they are bots i recommend checking because they usuallly dont use their guard max level cap. you can check in the hall of fame if they are bots. if there names are not on the leader board they are bots.
Den
Upgrade your workers they are a nice little extra. In higher levels their bag is big enough for mining many hours before u have to collect the. Your scout is a really nice extra and really good to upgrade.
Items
Items not in lock slots can be stolen. In general they can be a nice bank that u can sell in order to purchase expensive upgrades like lab lvl 6.

Gear: expensive items to equip your characters with. use your lock slots on items u need in the next few lvl. rest: sell for gold

Consumables: Mana potions are really good health positions are absolutely important if u play without healer and revivals if you dont have malik. bombsa are good to get through walls and can shorten many labyrinths. Be carefull! you have to reequip them after every use in your hero menu.

Jewels: Just put them on ur heroes :)

Materials: Sell! dont even think of keeping them untill you are lvl 60 and want to craft legendary items. Only keep them if u want to save money for a bigger upgrade.
Trader
Use the trader to get the stone for your labyrinth upgrades and trade all gold you dont need for abilitys and items into essence. essence cant be stolen and to unlock all guards especially the legendary ones you need a fraking huge amount of essence.

Favor
Favor makes your heroes stronger use the sophist ( scroll to the right in your in) to get a favor a day and collect it with your scout (if you have your final hero party). You get one favor per campagne mission you finish and for every time you beat your best amount of spider pendant (still buggy at the moment)
Nori
Use your Nori first on lock slots and on your scout. This upgrades will stay a lifetime long :) If you have nori left save it, or use it to speed up your labyrinth upgrades because this will result in more energy. The Pets are a good option as well if you have nori left. The player pornzy collected some data by upgrading some of the premium pets to max level.

Wisp : Heal all team / lvl 60 : 28800
Rat : Damage all team / lvl 60 : 24000
Phoenix : Damage all team + burn 2 times / lvl 60 : 16000
Monkey : Heal one
Kick : Damage one

If i had to choose id probably say Phoenix>Whisp>Kick>Rat>Monkey but this is allways depending on your team. Lets say you have no healer in tem, whisp is best. you need more aoe to finish of stronger guards put the phoenix on your healer.
