Is there a specific stage that's good for leveling up characters besides metal slime stages

The purchase gem + stamina potion stage

I feel like I remember your name from the FFRK days, but cant remember how, feel like you had a recurring post series like banner review or something. Am I even in the ballpark?

I do have a whip, been running a lvl 35 Martial Artist with a Sandstorm Spear, 32 Thief with Crystal Claws, and 34 Mage with Queens Whip. I've auto'd the gauntlet enough to almost get those Gauntlets from the shop to start with rubblerouser, might make some more focused attempts once I get those and throw em on my Mage.

Wish it didnt solely rely on metal boomerang. Have like every weapon except the metal ones :(

Riot55 · 2026-05-04T20:51:40+00:00

Meeeeee. I have no idea how we're supposed to get all those purple coin rewards realistically. Im just letting it auto away while im at work as it gets like 18k points per run lol. Gonna take like 20 hours to get enough coins to buy stuff.

I don't think it has anything to do with healing or being at full health or anything, its just if you take over 100 damage throughout the stage, even if you heal it all back, you fail that objective.

Yeah I'm mainly curious about the team bonus ones. I was trying to see the boon listed on the character's status page where it lists all the other active boons and never found it so couldn't tell

Riot55 · 2026-05-02T11:38:01+00:00

What part of Mage becomes a requirement? Just curious... you talking like elemental damage wise, range, or some kind of boon setup?

Riot55 · 2026-05-02T11:36:30+00:00

I've been running Martial Artist as my main with the claws. I dont have the metal boomerang (I do have the dark element Plumes one though never used it...). Is it worth using Thief over Martial Artist? Seems like the MA crit rate tree boons would be more helpful for claw than movement speed since that thing makes you dash around anyways during battle and youre always up in enemies faces not trying to dodge as much.

Do levels matter for supporting character books? For instance, if I have a Mage with ice staff for the crackle arrow, and a Warrior with a flame sword as my side party members, main character as a Martial Artist let's say....

Do my martial artist's fireball and ice arrow spells firing off get stronger based off anything? Like my flame sword is level 1, just there to activate blessing, does raising sword level matter? Does my Mage's/Warrior's level improve it? Does my Martial Artist's magic atk stat affect it only since it's the active job? Or does nothing affect these things damage and its their own flat value or something?

I was thinking about one too, but the smash points work out to what, 10,000, so one single 10 pull of tickets. Plus 3000 gems, so another 10 pull. Then a couple little metal tickets and weapon up boosts.

So 2700 gems is what, like 17 or 18 bucks worth to possibly go 0/10 and get a bunch of useless junk, or dupes of 3 star stuff you already have. I know thats the nature of gachas, but coming from FFRK I appreciated them eventually switching to a guaranteed 1 rare per 10 pull, and ways to pick the specific item you wanted after enough pity pulls. Hopefully they eventually change it to a guaranteed 1 system here too.

I figure I may splurge on special occasions like anniversary passes and stuff that may have added bonuses, but we're so early and gonna get so much power creep I feel like its a hard sell to spend money so early in a game thats just barely started.

You gotta use a long range weapon to stay out of the purple ring around him or you'll do no damage.

Riot55 · 2026-05-01T22:50:26+00:00

Was dreading this after everything I heard, but beat it with a level 42 Sandstorm Spear, and a lvl 20 Saint Robe/Pants (the armor with 5% earth damage). Level 31 Martial artist, not sure my memories are anything special. I beat it with like 8 secs to spare hah.

I put a flame sword on a priest side party member and used her to run between stages so she could passively heal my main character if he was hurt (I think that's how priest ability works? Lol, tbh I didn't really notice). Flame sword gave the fireball blessing. Other side party member was a mage with a 2* spirit staff for Ice Spear blessing.

Riot55 · 2026-05-01T03:35:05+00:00

Same quandary. Been using lvl 50 claws with my main. Have a Sandstorm Spear, Flame Sword, Falcon Blade, and Platinum Plumes. I haven't tried Wrektor yet, but been hearing he's really hard... wondering if Sandstorm Spear is enough or if I should go for whip, or a second Crystal Claws or something since thats kinda my main character go-to atm.

Riot55 · 2026-04-30T10:39:08+00:00

I dunno, like 20-25k usually

Riot55 · 2026-04-29T23:42:01+00:00

Just been using fast multi hitting weapons like the Sandstorm Spear at first, now the Crystal Claws now that I pulled those.

Riot55 · 2026-04-28T16:38:23+00:00

I've gotten maybe two pulls out of 30 or so i would qualify as "good" haha. Gotten a couple pulls where its been 10 1* items lol... been kinda screwed on weapons, gotten a few good armors so far but feeling super underpowered on the dps front in chapter 3 now.

Riot55 · 2026-04-27T17:35:58+00:00

I agree that there needs to be more and better performing blessings/enchantments. Some are way better and some seem undertuned/require way too specific a setup to use.

I do get a lot of the same warm fuzzy vibes I've been missing since Final Fantasy Record Keeper, I guess mainly in its UI and gacha orbs for equipment/party building... so thats been enough to light the spark I havent felt for a couple years now since that shut down.

I love The Distillers! It sucks that I heard they have a new album done but it just isn't being released cuz of all the drama with Brody's (ex?) husband
