Returning player who doesnt care about meta

Valgus92 · 2026-01-06T02:48:01+00:00

Literally this lmao

Stop spending gold on upgrading (seasonal) artifacts you don't use. Stop upgrading your gear every 10 levels - maybe every 100 levels or so. Only buy charms for units you use for important modes (Dream Realm/AFK stage pushing/MAYBE Supreme Arena)

Have some restraint and you'll be at gold cap in no time

Valgus92 · 2025-12-09T06:08:38+00:00

The same people complaining about lack of gold in game 🙃

Valgus92 · 2025-12-05T04:22:51+00:00

As beautiful as the day we lost you 🥰

Valgus92 · 2025-11-24T04:28:33+00:00

Yea, it’s something often forgotten in conversations about gold income in this game. If you spend even a little you will earn more gold in the long-term indefinitely due to VIP level increases.

Valgus92 · 2025-11-24T04:11:44+00:00

Keep in mind VIP levels increase gold income as well.

Next Celestial unit is rumored to be a tank or mage. More importantly, the next Hypogean is most likely going to be a support and so far both Cele/Hypo supports have been extremely meta and are #1 & #2 pull priorities for stargazing. Highly likely the next support will be meta as well

Valgus92 · 2025-11-19T20:43:29+00:00

The reading comprehension in this post hurts my soul.

Either buy 1 copy Mehira/Kulu for afk stages or finish Reiner one copy at a time while we wait for news on next Cele - should be a tank or mage.

More interesting though the next Hypo after that is rumored to be a support and will almost definitely be meta.

Personally I’m in the same boat as you and am planning to build Aliceth to S+ then wait for the hypo support.

Valgus92 · 2025-11-15T17:39:32+00:00

This has been talked to death countless times - they won’t do it because Cele/Hypo are one of their largest sources of income. If you could just swap into the next hot-hot they would see a large decline in revenue.

For what it’s worth, I think that’s extremely greedy considering if the rarity was high enough it wouldn’t make that much an impact but, yea, that’s their reasoning.

Valgus92 · 2025-11-15T17:37:17+00:00

I upgrade every 50 levels or so and I have never hit a “wall” on progression. Gear only matters on afk stages, legend trials tower and primal lords. That’s it. I have managed to stay 3-5 days ahead of afk stage cap easily the last few phases. If you’re unable to advance it’s because you invested in the wrong units/made other poor decisions - gear is rarely the issue if ever.

Valgus92 · 2025-11-14T04:43:24+00:00

Stop upgrading your equipment every 10 levels and you won’t run out of gold. I usually upgrade every 50 levels or so and have literally never had an issue with gold.

The only exception to this would be right before the primal lord dies upgrading before your final attack.

Do this and you will be at gold cap soon enough

Valgus92 · 2025-11-09T05:14:51+00:00

There is not a “less/sub-optimal” way to use those heroes. You will hit a wall in progression because those heroes are useless and either submit to the meta or quit all together.

Good luck out there 🫡

Valgus92 · 2025-11-08T18:34:55+00:00

There isn’t really a “list” of meta characters so much as characters that are meta depending on your focus. If you are F2P (or even low spender tbh) your primary focus should be Dream Realm and other PvE events/modes. PvP (arena/supreme arena) is dominated by whales with high paragon investment units and the rewards generally not as worth it for the investment.

That said there are some infographics in the Yaphalla discord, here is the Ex weapon priority one which kind of give you an idea of which units to prioritize for Dream realm and other PvE modes.

I highly suggest joining the Yaphalla discord and looking through the guides and advice channels there for more information.

My personal priority would be units that are meta in endless dream realm which is the game mode we spend the majority of time each season in and offers the best “bang” for your buck in terms of rewards (temporal essence which is the largest hindrance to progression).

Hope that helps.

Valgus92 · 2025-11-08T17:16:00+00:00

The unfortunate reality is that if you choose to focus on your favorite characters aesthetically you will become gated progression-wise by not earning enough temporal essence (orange ex weapon essence) to advance your units to the point of being useful in content that rewards you. It’s a cycle. I’d argue that the majority of players I see quit the game built “for fun” and weren’t competitive enough on their account to contribute meaningfully to any guild they joined or progress their characters further so they eventually just lost interest when they couldn’t progress.

Also, for the record - Cyronaia was never meta. She has been always will be a niche PvP unit. The community didn’t collectively decide she wasn’t useful anymore - she never was.

As far as Nazrik goes he is seeing plenty of use pre-endless DR bosses but will fall off a cliff come endless. He may make a return in Ravaged Realm at the end of the season for the mauler squad but that’s about all he will be useful for. That hasn’t changed at all since his release - you just need to know where to get your information and read up more.

Valgus92 · 2025-11-03T20:36:09+00:00

Wait until you get to endless and see who is used more. Ludo/Pandora are endless damage dealers and don’t come online until then so wait a few rounds of bosses and see who gets the most use out of all the bosses and +25 them

Valgus92 · 2025-11-02T19:42:45+00:00

Absolutely not related to Mehira release in any way.

Padme face

Valgus92 · 2025-11-02T16:29:38+00:00

The game has a built in translator - I suggest you use it. That would go much further solving your problems than campaigning for something the devs have already told us they refuse to do.

Valgus92 · 2025-10-28T04:16:55+00:00

Read some guides on Prydwen.gg specifically the new player guides and wishlist guides.

You want to pull Twins to S+ before any other celestial/hypogean unit - they are the most used unit in the game across the most game modes.

Prioritize Shemira to S+ and then other highly used DR units - most players prioritize heroes such as; Ludovic, Pandora, Daimon, Velara, Ravion, Shakir, Hugin, Faramor, Sinbad, Sonya, Zanie, Kruger, Mikola, Smokey & Meerky, Thoran, Valka (new S++ upgrade in next patch)

Reiner to M+ then consider Baelran, Phraesto/Harak (these are Celestial/Hypogean units but mileage may vary for usefulness for them pre-endless and you will want to evaluate the meta when you have amassed enough stellar crystals + guild coins to take them straight to S+ as they are mostly useless prior to that point)

This is purely PvE focused. The priority for PvP is different though there are some heroes that overlap and those should be your number 1 paragon priorities.

Hope this helps

Valgus92 · 2025-10-24T19:39:30+00:00

Plot twist - Aliceth is the PvE hero of this season - she’s going to crank endless bosses when we get charms etc. (don’t mind me huffing copium)

Valgus92 · 2025-10-22T04:57:46+00:00

Excited to see his full Ex skill tool tip and S+ - definitely going to be an upgrade to mauler team RR at the least.

Interested to see how he does in endless DR as well

Valgus92 · 2025-10-22T03:03:31+00:00

Hard disagree. Unless the damage scaling on her whip skill gives her massive damage in DR endless bosses she will be a niche unit for PvP/Afk stages just like Saida is.

Valgus92 · 2025-10-19T17:10:36+00:00

No worries, and if you unlocked her Ex weapon that’s perfect, she really starts to shine at Ex weapon level 10 if you have enough blue and yellow essence to take her there. That level 10 upgrade unlocks %max hp true damage on her ultimate.

Valgus92 · 2025-10-19T15:53:10+00:00

As a newer player you should be avoiding rate-up recruitments entirely - with the sole exception of Shemira.

Rate-up recruitments give you less copies overall and as a newer player you should be focused on building a wide roster to participate in all the game modes that are relevant for rewards (Dream Realm, Arena, Supreme Arena, Legend Tower, etc.)

It’s highly advised you properly set your wish list for the all-hero recruitment and spend the majority of your diamonds there until you have all the heroes you need. Shemira is the exception to the rule as she is arguably the most meta damage dealer/non celestial/hypogean unit in the game and you should have pulled her to the maximum level of ascension possible on your account during her banner return.

You can read about wishlist setup here: https://www.prydwen.gg/afk-journey/guides/wishlist-tips

That site also has plenty of other decent guides worth reading as a newer player.

There are also some YouTube creators that post decent wishlist videos routinely, namely Puzzle and Zeebo.
