  • See ?stayingiants for why you can sit in giants for a bit

  • If you are just starting the game see ?beginner

  • READ THIS, ?progressionexplained gives a more in-depth explanation of the above progression

  • (Text in ?thisformat are commands, type these in #bot-commands to get the guides!)

WHEN YOU ARE STARTING, IT IS NOT A RUSH TO GET OUT OF GIANTS.
Most players have the ideology that they should go to start other dungeons RIGHT AWAY. This is not a good idea for a few reasons:

  1. No time is wasted farming Giants. It is important to improve the runes on your account that specifically from Giants. End game players continue to farm Giants endlessly.
  2. Throughout PvE, a lot of your bottlenecks will be tied to damage dealer sets. Farming giants is the best way to remedy this.
  3. ?pvesets - Violent/seal/etc runes are all not especially useful in PvE. When runing monsters for PvE, you are looking for stats first and sets second, with very few exceptions. Giants is very simple to get up and running, and you can work towards getting to Giants abyss hard as you improve your runes.

ALL TIME spent in giants is valuable. When you first start doing siege, you will need decent swift runes. These will allow you to run cleaves, securing easy wins and more resources through crystal income. Fatal/blade runes are also very important to cleaving. Rage is NOT significantly better than fatal. The difference is so small you may as well consider them the same set.

Additionally, since reloaded just came out, we do not currently have an optimal progression route developed past this, since everything is still being discovered and developed. If you want to play optimallly, then you are best off farming giants, working towards GBAH and improving your runes. Let the dungeon scientists do the hard work here. Tricaru was not developed over night, and neither will optimal dungeon teams. We will get them sorted as soon as possible.

In summary- go farm giants more. Don't rush. The very first run of giants you do could get you a rune that you use for the rest of your time playing the game. Learn more about what runes are valuable and roll your blues. There are good examples of this in ⁠Beginner Playthrough 2022. This will make your progression much smoother.

  • Scenarios: clear all of scenario on normal difficulty asap with friend/mentor reps, see ?farmer
  • Justdoit: Work on getting/leveling/evolving these monsters in ?justdoit while clearing scenario to make your first GB10 team (Giants Keep floor 10)

  • 2A Team: Get this up and running after ToAN so you can 2nd awaken your Belladeon. ?2ateam
  • GBAH: After clearing ToA, follow ?justdoit2 for your first GBAH team. You can optimize the team once it is built by improving the stats; see ?gbah
  • ToaH100: First time you really need to invest into toa, see ?toa
  • S+ Rank Fire/Water Rift: Allows for the crafting of reappraisal stones (reapps). Will want to get either of these two Rift Beasts to S+ rank for the 100% drop chance of Pure Magic Crystals. see ?rift-water ?rift-fire

WATER BEAST

Boss Mechanic: reduces your HP, this effect is undone by boosting ATB/Gaining turns

Frontline/Backline
The damage isn't reduced by the amount of frontliners that you have, so run 2 FL, 4 BL.

Team Suggestion without water twins
Front Line: Fran/Mav
Back Line: Kro(2A) + ling ling + Verd(1) + 1 damage dealer

Team Suggestion with water twins
Front Line: Fran & Mav
Back Line: Sabrina + Talia + Kro(2A) + Hraes/Lingling

Leaderskills
Lushen (Attack%) and Talia (Crit Rate)

Damage Dealers
__Ideal:__Sabrina & Talia, Hraesvelg, Ling ling, Iunu

Usable Elsewhere: Melissa & Sabrina,
Theomars, Lushen, Fuco, Orochi, Susano

Not Ideal: Ardella

Alternatives to Water twins,
Replace with Ling ling, Verde and 1 other Damage dealer above.
-- (1) Verde is only used if one doesnt have hraes or water twins on the team
Melissa can be paired with Sabrina but will do less damage than Sabrina + Talia

Use ?riftstats in #bot-commands, if you want help knowing how to build these units.

Confused by a listed name? use /monster name:Monster to find the normal name.

Team can vary based on your monster box. If you have questions about monsters you could use, share your monster box in #1047269577614164098

Note
All of these listed monsters, have uses in other parts of the game which is why they're being recommended.
