Tip #1: AOE is a King [0:10]
Focusing on area-of-effect (AOE) damage is crucial, especially on higher difficulties like Torment. Enemies are numerous and can quickly overwhelm the player. Having one or two characters dedicated to AOE allows for clearing enemies before they attack, improving survivability and battlefield control.
Tip #2: Save For Resurrection [1:10]
It's important to save 200 coins for resurrections. If a hero dies, you need to visit Sister Ophelia in the city to revive them, which costs 200 coins. Always keep this amount available and avoid spending it on equipment to ensure you can continue your journey without setbacks.
Tip #3: Fate [2:11]
Fate is a resource used for rerolling event outcomes or skill selections. Using Fate to reroll skill selections is particularly useful when hunting for specific skills during level-ups. This allows players to redraw skill cards and increase their chances of obtaining desired skills, especially when aiming for gold skills later in the game.
Tip #4: Skill Rerolls [3:15]
Skill rerolls are useful for optimizing a character's deck in the later stages of the game. When you reroll a skill card, the new card retains all the upgrades and mastery levels of the original card. The new card will be drawn from the same rarity pool as the original, so having Fate available to redraw from the pool increases the chances of getting the desired card.
Tip #5: Different Stats [4:25]
Each hero should focus on a different primary stat: strength, dexterity, or intelligence. Each stat benefits specific cards and equipment. By diversifying stats across heroes, you ensure that each character can equip appropriate gear and benefit from stat-related events in the world.
Tip #6: Secondary Stats [5:23]
Secondary stats are important for character progression. Examples include Fury charges (increased damage), Agility charges (free movement), Channel charges (extra AP for mages), and resistances (physical, fire, frost, lightning, and chaos). Resistances can decrease damage taken by up to 75%, which is crucial in later stages against bosses.
Tip #7: Salvaging and Enchanting [6:22]
Unused equipment can be salvaged at the blacksmith (June) to obtain resources. These resources can be used for enchanting items at the enchantress (Wind). Enchanting can improve an item's rarity and add beneficial properties, making it more viable for use. Augmenting items can further enhance their stats and abilities.
Tip #8: Sockets [7:25]
Players can modify sockets on their items by visiting Barnaby the Jeweler. Sockets can be rerolled for different colors or to change the number of sockets. Skill sockets can be augmented to provide additional benefits such as protection, movement, or magic.
Tip #9: White Runes are Powerfull [8:18]
White runes act as jokers and can be added to any colored socket. They can provide significant benefits, such as adding additional instances of a card to your deck or removing unwanted cards. Experimenting with white runes is encouraged to discover their full potential.
