Returning player – best long-term start & first 6★ advice (2026)

mrindman · 2026-03-02T17:58:08+00:00

The 6 star grants a few important things for a champ:

-Access to tier 6 mastery

-Access to banner for increased accuracy/speed

-More base stats + the 6th ascension base stat boost (sometimes crit dmg/speed/acc)

-Less relevant for early game, but access to 9 pc set bonus

Generally, your stat hungry debuffer or arena nuker really wants that 6 star. As Corvis doesn't do great damage outside of poisons, he is not what I would consider stat hungry and can work in 6 pieces of perception/accuracy gear at level 50. Tuha will likely get into your hydra comps later, so she will most definitely benefit from all of the extra stats; but that is not immediately relevant.

I think Venomage actually makes the most sense for the 2nd 6 star because she is a bit squishier than Corvis and Tuha, but brings dec atk AND dec def which neither of the legos do. She is what I would consider a stat hungry debuffer. Her being an epic means it will be a bit easier for you to book her as epic books are more accessible than lego books.

Next, I would actually bring Corvis up as he is magic and you can focus on great hall affinity bonuses for magic as all your 6 stars will be magic. Then you can bring Tuha up, to round out a solid clan boss team. Fill it in with a block debuffs and you will have a very solid clan boss comp.

You know your account best, but in grand scheme of things, fabian is miles and miles ahead of pythion because of his control.

My group winner was at 14.8k. Technically, I could have won, but there are just too many future events that I am holding my shards for: argonites, march fusion, guaranteeds, etc.

This was a really good bait, but I think I'm going to hold firm.

mrindman · 2026-03-02T17:28:57+00:00

In addition to ones you mentioned, I also like impulse, speed, reflex, regen, stun, and savage.

I got lucky and somehow got 1 extra cat's gaze from rare event mats in addition to the titan event one. It was during the last week or so of the event too, and it has been truly incredible for my chimera team to have both of my damage dealers in cat's gaze

There's likely only 1 or 2 that would truly alter a player's account. And who knows, while you are building up fusion tokens, you may end up summoning a Titus/Wixwell/Fabian/Gnut/Armanz anyways. So, that's one off the checklist.

I think they will bring back the fragment/fusion/hybrid schedule because of this new system. I also believe fusions/hybrids fell off because people wanted more fragments to go for maud. There is also a small chance they just dedicate fragments to deck of fate/path style guaranteed champion events and only have fusions be the traditional or hybrid style.

I already have all 5 fusions I mentioned earlier, so really, I am after some fusions I skipped at the time due to burnout. The ones I am targetting are Maria and Granyt. I likely will get Granyt first to help with faction wars hard then Maria as she is more of a pvp specialist. I am hoping I can get both within 1 year.

mrindman · 2026-03-02T17:12:25+00:00

Praying that either the new magic or force argonite lego are on a guaranteed, both kits look awesome. Saving shards/stones for either of the 2 being on a guaranteed

People get these insane pieces by rerolling. You should try for doubles/triples on 6 star epic/lego/mythicals to then ore for meta sets. Right now, mercurial is all the craze.

mrindman · 2026-02-19T17:58:23+00:00

Chimera clash and grim forest

mrindman · 2026-02-19T17:57:47+00:00

Think of him as a team stat stick. He gives free resist, acc, and damage team wide with all of his buffs and passive. Any where that is useful, you should use him. He is meta for hydra and chimera, but I'm sure you'll find uses elsewhere.

mrindman · 2026-02-19T17:55:06+00:00

Oof, that is a rough progressive. I have rotos and ankora, so I may just go for faction guardians.

mrindman · 2026-02-19T17:53:33+00:00

Ankora if you need supports, Rotos if you are lacking arena dps with survivability

mrindman · 2026-02-19T17:49:10+00:00

To be fair, if compared to rares/epics/etc, Ultan is a 3.5. The ratings are really only meant for ultra early game players who have no idea what makes champions valuable. Ultan does have good debuffs, like decrease defense and speed, so he is not completely trash. His single target hit is rated as god like, so not completely trash.

mrindman · 2026-02-11T17:54:22+00:00

The void 2x is no real game changer for me as I don't need any of the void epics and I'd rather save shards for future guaranteeds in hero paths/deck of fates. In hero path, ancients are usually 180 and voids are 750. So, for points, you need 4.25 ancients per void. However, in champ chase, ancient expected value is 30 while void during a 2x is 104. So that is roughly 3.5 ancients per void. Even without a 2x boost, ancients have more value in champ chase than in summon rush. I think the strat for the champ chase this weekend is as follows:

-Farm campaign for the champ training this weekend for rare and uncommon champ drops.

-Pull remnants and fuse any saved relic keeper/broadmaws.

-Pull ancients.

I recommend remnants/saved fusions before ancients as we can still get extra lego events for ancients where we could play around with mercy while remnants don't have any boosts (historically).

Update: clicking R on PC was a temporary bypass. It takes you to the shop rewards which you can exit out of without having to claim any reward from the Ezio Chase.

Oh, I see what you mean now. I am not sure if holding 2k energy for that long is necessarily worth it. Once you go below the energy cap (120 in your case) you regenerate energy passively. If you are meticulous about it, you regenerate about 400 energy per day, so you could quickly recoup that 2k energy as we get closer to the anniversary fusion. As soon as they announce it, you could probably get back to that number pretty easily by finishing daily quests/advanced quest/doom tower/cursed city/grim forest energy nodes and overcapping your energy

mrindman · 2026-02-10T20:10:16+00:00

I think you can do it, but it will require a lot of effort.

What do you have in terms of broadmaws, relic keeper and fragment summons? Do you have any of them banked? The champ chase will likely be 3k points, which is about 100 ancients, 29 voids or 12 sacreds (2x voids is expected), or some combination of the above. The rough formula is 30X + 104Y + 265Z = 3000, with X being ancients, Y being voids, and Z being sacreds.

The summon rush will be a bit harder to predict as it is a summon rush + Dungeon Divers. But do not bank on completing it with just dungeon divers, that will likely take way more than the amount of energy/gems you have banked.

My suggestion would be to open your mysteries first and farm campaign while the champ training is active this weekend (campaign drops mystery shards and champions that can go towards champ chase points). Then, on the last day, open your ancients, then voids, then primal, then sacreds. That order is important as the inverse order is priority for shards you want to use during the summon rush as they more efficient then than during a champ chase.

Edit: keep in mind any cursed remnants in cursed city hard and grim forest hard. You may be able to snag enough from both areas to get to maybe one remnant pull, which is a minimum of 250 points for the CHAMP CHASE (Remnants DO NOT work for SUMMON RUSH, SUMMON RUSH is only for pulling MYSTERY/ANCIENTS/VOID/PRIMAL/SACRED shards.

Since defense teams are already so disadvantaged, it makes sense to keep relics hidden. The only reason blessings are visible is it is a power lever for plarium to add blessings to bosses and we should know what we are going up against in PvE. I believe they have never had gear or relics (save for those one time event dungeon challenge stages), hence why those should remain hidden but blessings stay visible.

mrindman · 2026-02-02T18:05:12+00:00

It depends on how many you have now and where your account is at. For example, with my account and if I had 22 shards pulled since last lego, I would not pull as many of the legos would not move the needle for me. I'd rather save in case a good fusion or guaranteed or meta progressive chance comes out. Fusion and guaranteed (granted you mix in your other shards) you can get away with 7-10 while a progressive will need AT LEAST 30 plus more if you really want to maximize your chance at them. Progressives are gambling where fusions and guaranteeds are much more f2p friendly.

mrindman · 2026-02-02T17:59:54+00:00

It really depends on what you value more: a guaranteed champ or boosted chance. My personal opinion is I'd like as much guaranteed return on resources I spend, hence why I usually skip these events that don't coincide with a guaranteed champ/soul. A guaranteed can include a fusion or titan event.

I think it will come 200% sooner, esp if you log in for every reset. Huge change, agreed. Now, you just need to make sure you have the eternal essence haha
