- Skill Allocation Guide -

Skill Allocation: Lvl 1 to 27


Blazing Slash Lvl 1
   - Your default active skill.

Heat Burst Lvl 3
   - Match 6 ATK Gems to activate, one of your main damage sources.
   - Max to Lvl 5 at higher levels if you have extra Gold to spare.

Wrath of Knight Lvl 3
   - Your new active skill. Max to Lvl 5 once you get Wisdom at Lvl 24.

Thunder Storm Lvl 3
   - Match 7 ATK Gems to activate, one of your main damage sources.
   - Max to Lvl 5 at higher levels once the Gold requirement is easier to reach.

Wisdom Lvl 2
   - Boosts your MG gain, Max to Lvl 3 at higher levels once the Gold requirement is easier to reach.
   - Max Wrath of Knight to Lvl 5 after getting this.

Shadow Dancer Lvl 3
   - Nice additional damage, works only on normal Gem attacks though.
   - Max to Lvl 5 at higher levels once the Gold requirement is easier to reach.

Skill Allocation: Lvl 28+

   - I will separate this section because your aim here is to only unlock Reign of Guardian once you reach Lvl 28 or once you are done with the skills above. It's better to spend Gold and unlock the requirements of Reign of Guardian around Lvl 28, since they are not very effective early game.

Charm Guardian Lvl 2
   - Required to unlock Guardian Burst.

Guardian Burst Lvl 3
   - Required to unlock Guardian Elemental.
   - Can be Maxed late game once you have 2 or 3 high attack guardians.

Guardian Elemental Lvl 4
   - Required to unlock Reign of Guardian.
   - Can be Maxed late game once you have 2 or 3 high attack guardians, max Guardian Burst first.

Reign of Guardian Lvl 2
   - Max to Lvl 5 at higher levels once the Gold requirement is easier to reach.

Skill Allocation: Lvl 33 to Lvl 45


Lance of Longinus Lvl 4 or 5
   - Only if you need more single shot damage vs BOSS enemies. Fully charge it first before the BOSS fight.
   - Wrath of Knight Lvl 5 is still on par with this skill though when it comes to MG gain per battle.

Aura Shuriken Lvl 3
   - Match 8 ATK Gems to activate, one of your main damage sources.
   - Max this also at higher levels if thunder storm is already maxed.

Revive Lvl 4 or 5
   - An optional skill and if free revives isn't enough for BOSS fights.

Over Destroy Lvl 4 or 5
   - Only if you need more single shot damage vs BOSS enemies. Fully charge it first before the BOSS fight.
   - Wrath of Knight Lvl 5 is still on par with this skill when it comes to MG gain per battle.

Divine Seraphim Lvl 3
   - Your final active skill, MAX it as you go.

- Other Optional Skills To Get -

Heal Lvl 1
   - Optional skill used for farming, survival purposes, or for Special Dungeons.
   - You can also use a Guardian and/or Friend instead to heal for you.

Drain Lvl 10
   - Looks good to survive longer, but better get this maybe late game once you have high damage output per attack. Focus on your main skills above first.

Meteor Strike
   - Requires 9 ATK Gems to activate. The problem here is the Gold requirement per upgrade and it's pretty uncommon to match 9 ATK Gems anyway.
   - Aura Shuriken Lvl 5 is still on par with this skill in terms of damage output, so only upgrade Meteor Strike once you are done with your main skills above.

Shield of Agis
   - Very situational skill, only get this if you think it's useful for other purposes (Special Dungeon for example).
