💡 Beginner Recommendations
Start with Balanced Build
New players should begin with the Balanced Build using Longsword and Medium Armor (Soldier Armor). This provides good defense and mobility while you learn the game mechanics.
Experiment Early
Try different weapons and armor types in the first 10 levels. This helps you discover your preferred playstyle before committing to expensive upgrades.
Upgrade Weapons First
Prioritize weapon upgrades over armor in early game. Higher damage helps you clear content faster and farm more efficiently.
Match Armor to Weapon
Heavy weapons (Greatsword) work best with Heavy Armor. Light weapons (Dagger, Bow) pair well with Light Armor. Medium weapons (Longsword) are flexible with any armor type.
Don't Mix Armor Types
Stick to one armor category (all Light, all Medium, or all Heavy). Mixing armor types reduces set bonuses and creates stat inefficiencies.
