This guide is for people who are interested in optimizing their campaign progression and understanding how PvE meta comps work.
The campaign meta is currently dominated by seven comps. In this guide we will explain these meta comps and some other comps that can also be used.
Meta comps are the comps that dominate the campaign above 500 level deficit. It is possible to play even above 600 level deficit with meta comps.
The seven comps in the meta are: Thoran cheese, Liberta charm, ABelinda comp, Envydiel comp, AEironn comp, Maetria charm, and Tasi-Twins comp. And we will explain all of them here.
Thoran cheese
Core hero:  Thoran |
The most common heroes in this comp:  Kelthur,  Pippa,  Lorsan,  Nara,  Lyca,  Ezizh,  Eironn,  Skriath,  Maetria,  Zohra,  Rem,  Kalthin |
Other heroes that are occasionally useful in this comp:  Awakened Lyca,  Athalia,  Zaphrael,  Zolrath,  Rowan,  Ezio,  Raine,  Orthros,  Oden |
The most common beasts in this comp:  Fire Breather >  Blade Ridge >  Polar Beast,  Aureus,  Dreary Ball |
This comp consists of Thoran taking as much damage as possible while using his ult, because Thoran returns all the damage taken to the enemy team and kills them. Because of that, this is the comp that has the highest damage potential in the entire game. However, it is not a recommended comp for early or mid game players, nor for players who are playing at very low deficits. This comp is very inconsistent below 200 level deficits. It is decent between 200 and 250 level deficits. But it is very strong above 250 level deficits.
Thoran’s signature level 30 is very important to allow him to take an infinite amount of damage the first two times he uses his ult. Furniture 3 and 9 are essential in some situations.
Important note: do NOT upgrade Thoran’s gears to T3 or T4, except boots to T3. Also, do NOT upgrade his engravings to level 30 or 60, you can stop his engravings at level 11 just to improve his haste nodes. The reason for not investing too much in him is because Thoran needs to take as much damage as possible while ulting. If you upgrade his equipment and furniture a lot, he will probably take a lot less damage, therefore, he will retaliate less damage on enemies.
Kelthur can reposition an enemy close to Thoran so that Thoran hits that enemy with his ult. He can generate energy very quickly, so if he is using Call level 5, when he dies he will transfer a large amount of energy to Thoran. Kelthur can also to continue dealing damage even after dying, so he can be useful to kill the enemy that is cursed by Thoran if that enemy is not in range of Thoran’s ult. Kelthur can work even at Elite ascension in some situations.
Lorsan is useful because he can link two enemies. A certain amount of damage taken by one of the linked enemies is also taken by the other linked enemy. This makes Thoran’s ult even more effective against enemies with great dodging like Kaz and Tasi, or very tanky enemies like Seirus and Mezoth, or enemies that can negate a high amount of damage like Rowan. Lorsan also works even at Elite level, his only role in this comp is to link two enemies at the start of the battle.
Pippa‘s utility in this comp is to teleport Thoran at the start of the battle and give Thoran 5 second invincibility. There are situations where you need to reposition Thoran on the battlefield so that he hits all enemies with his ult, so in those cases it is recommended to put Pippa in your comp. Pippa needs a level 20 signature to give Thoran invincibility when she teleports him. She can function very well even at Mythic ascension.
Athalia, Nara and Zaphrael are mainly useful for initial stun on an enemy. It is essential to use one of them against Mehira, for example, so that she does not release the bats at the beginning of the battle. Athalia and Nara also serve to reposition an enemy. These three heroes can work at the Elite level.
Oden can be useful in some situations to reposition an enemy. Eironn is also used to reposition enemies closer to Thoran. If Eironn is used in the center and you also have a Skriath with level 3 furniture on your team, Eironn can pull up to 5 enemies and group them next to Thoran.
Zohra and Kalthin are great heroes at grouping up enemies. Awakened Lyca can be great to increase the survivability of Kalthin to allow him to activate his ultimate before he dies. Rem is also a great hero that can protect your allies with her level 3 furniture, and her level 9 furniture can give a huge amount of energy to your Thoran.
Rowan, Ezizh and Raine are options to generate extra energy for Thoran. Ezio with furniture 9 already starts the battle with 500 energy points, so he is a good option to transfer a large amount of energy to Thoran when he dies.
Lyca gives the entire team a haste buff, so she can also help Thoran ult faster and help allies activate key skills even faster. There are cases where Zolrath with furniture 3 can also be a good option to play this Lyca role of helping allies to activate essential skills faster.
Maetria is really good with Thoran because she is a great secondary carry for this comp. She still does a lot of damage even when she’s dead and she resurrects after Thoran dies, so she can finish off the last enemy if Thoran can’t kill them all. She can work even at legendary ascension.
There are situations where you will put Fodders in the comp just to get faction bonuses (such as graveborn bonuses or hypogegan bonuses). And there are situations where you leave an empty slot in the comp. And there are situations where a tank with Barricade will be useful to protect Thoran early in the fight. Almost any tank can be useful if his only purpose is to use the Barricade on Thoran. Some other tanks can bring an extra utility, such as Orthros who can place a time trap on the enemy (and he works even at Elite ascension).
Artifacts/Collections
Call level 5 is extremely important for this comp. because it makes the allies who are using this artifact transfer energy to Thoran when they die. In most situations, all Thoran’s allies will use Call level 5.
Thoran can also use Call if you need even more energy for him. Otherwise, he usually uses Eye. There are rare cases where Blade, Conviction or Life’s Limit can be useful on him as well.
There are situations where Temporal Cover might be the best option for a warrior and there are situations where Captive Wings might be the best option for Maetria.
Examples
Liberta charm comp
Core hero:  Mehira,  Liberta |
The most common heroes in this comp:  Shuna,  Lucilla,  Khazard,  Awakened Shemira, Zolrath,  Tamrus,  Emilia, Zohra |
Other heroes that are occasionally useful in this comp: Rowan,  Rosaline,  Atheus, Lyca,  Trishea, Maetria,  Brutus,  Canisa & Ruke,  Awakened Brutus,  Nyla,  Mortas,  Wu Kong, Ezizh, Kalthin,  Aurelia,  Raku, Oden,  Daimon |
The most common beasts in this comp:  Shroom Spooder >  Slumber Seal,  Fox Fatale >  Flutterplume Owl,  Treatspector,  Trickery Chest |
This comp consists of Mehira using her ult to make enemies attack themselves and kill each other. In this comp, the ideal is to make Mehira ult as quickly as possible and as often as possible. Liberta is the best hero to make Mehira ult as many times as possible. Mehira will almost always be used in the middle, because that’s the best position for her to charm all 5 enemies. Mehira has good survivability, so she can even work on Elite. In some situations, a mythic Mehira with signature 30 will be required.
The other option is using Rowan and Rosaline with Rosaline following Mehira, because Rowan can give lots of energy to Mehira and Rosaline, and Rosaline can make Mehira activate her ult very often by following her. But Liberta version of this comp is more consistent than Rosa+Rowan combo.
Khazard level 0 and level 30 signature can make Mehira’s charm last longer. Lucilla has great synergy with Liberta. Zolrath‘s furniture level 3 is also great for allowing Mehira to trigger her first ult before any enemy can do anything to her. Lyca‘s haste buff is good to give your allies a haste buff and allowing Mehira activate her first ult quicker.
AShemira can tank a lot of damage and protect Mehira and/or Liberta. Canisa & Ruke and ABrutus are also good at tanking damage and they can help grouping enemies up. Brutus has a nice invencibility shield and he works even at Elite ascension.
Zohra, Kalthin, and Tamrus are great options to group enemies together to help Mehira to charm all enemies.
Aurelia, Raku, and Daimon are dps options, but only Liberta + Mehira’s charm is usually good enough damage to kill all enemies.
Artifacts/Collections
The artifact that Mehira usually uses is Windbinder, Winged Warden or Call. The best artifact depends on each situation. Windbinder usually makes her activate her first ult faster, but she ends up getting an energy nerf for her second ult. There are situations where Winged Warden will make her activate her first ult even faster. And there are situations where Call will be better because it gives her a constant generation of energy.
Other mages will use either Captive Wings or Oculus Diabolus, but Captive Wings with level 2 skill is the best option in most situations.
Liberta usually wants Luminous Flight for the cheat death. Other supports will either use Luminous Flight for the extra survivability or Trader’s Vault for giving extra energy to Mehira.
Warriors will almost always wear Temporal Cover. Tanks will either use Timeline Watch or Spell Bondage.
Examples
ABelinda comp
Core hero:  Awakened Belinda,  Lavatune |
The most common heroes in this comp:  Alna,  Daemia,  Jerome,  Ivan,  Melion |
Other heroes that are occasionally useful in this comp:  Palmer, Raine, Tamrus, Rem, Aurelia, Shuna,  Hildwin,  Gavus, Emilia,  Adrian & Elise |
The most common beasts in this comp:  Ice Crown > Treatspector, Trickery Chest > Flutterplume Owl, Shroom Spooder,  Pandy Dumpty |
This comp consists of buffing ABelinda and feeding energy to her. Lavatune gives her energy and he buffs her ult damage, so he is almost always paired with her.
Daemia, Jerome, Ivan, Melion, Palmer, Tamrus, Raine, and Aurelia are great at increasing ABelinda’s damage. Raine is also good at providing energy, Aurelia is a secondary dps, Ivan can protect ABelinda.
Alna is used to protect her frontline partner, which is usually ABelinda or Daemia.
Gavus and Shuna are mainly used for extra survivability. Emilia can be useful because of her initial freezing.
Rem can protect your allies with her level 3 furniture, and her level 9 furniture can give a huge amount of energy to them.
Artifacts/Collections
ABelinda, Aurelia, and Hildwin will use either Captive Wings or Oculus Diabolus, but Captive Wings with level 2 skill is the best option in most situations. Daemia must ult as fast as possible, so Windbinder, Call, and Winged Warden can be better than mage collections in many situations, but she might need Captive Wings level 2 sometimes to survive long enough until she ults.
Warriors will always wear Temporal Cover. Supports will use Luminous Flight most of time, but Trader’s Vault is also good to give energy to ABelinda.
Examples
Tasi-Twins comp
Core heroes:  Tasi,  Elijah & Lailah |
The most common heroes in this comp: Rem,  Randle,  Awakened Athalia,  Highborn Gwyneth,  Awakened Eironn,  Envydiel, Ivan |
Other heroes that are occasionally useful in this comp: Melion, Shuna, Palmer, Adrian & Elise,  Lysander, Rowan,  Skylan,  Laios |
The most common beasts in this comp: Ice Crown > Treatspector > Flutterplume Owl, Pandy Dumpty,  Talismane, Trickery Chest |
This comp consists of Tasi banishing an enemy to steal their ATK Rating and sharing it with someone else via Twins‘ unity linking skill. You need a carry on this team and Tasi has to be linked with this carry. Usually, the carry is AAthalia, HGwyneth, AEironn, Envydiel, or Skylan. The team needs Tasi, Twins, and your carry to live long enough for the ATK transfer.
Rem is also very strong on this comp because she can protect your allies with her level 3 furniture, and her level 9 furniture can give a huge amount of energy to the allies. Ivan is the best at protecting your carry and he also provides energy. Randle has many skills that synergizes well with Tasi’s stealing skill.
Melion, Palmer, and Laios are mainly buffers. Shuna increases survivability. Adrian is also a buffer and he can tank a lot of damage. Lysander is great at buffing AAthalia when she is in the frontline. Rowan can be useful to provide energy.
Artifacts/Collections
Tasi and Twins must use Luminous Flight because of extra survivability. Other supports will also use Luminous Flight most of time, but Trader’s Vault can also be useful in some situations.
Warriors will almost always wear Temporal Cover. Shadow Dancer might be useful for AAthalia, but it is very niche.
Rangers will mostly use Shadowflow Blade, but Judgement Armor can also be useful for them. Dual Divinity can also be very strong for Envydiel and Skylan, and Sandstorm Fangs can also be very strong for AEironn.
Call can be useful for any hero because of extra haste. But it is almost always outclassed by the best Collections.
Examples
Maetria charm comp
| Core heroes: Maetria, Hildwin |
The most common heroes in this comp:  Nemora,  Awakened Thoran, Lorsan, Khazard |
Other heroes that are occasionally useful in this comp: Tamrus, Melion, Brutus, Skylan,  Shalltear, Atheus,  Mira, Kalthin, Shuna,  Knox |
| The most common beasts in this comp: Fox Fatale |
This team consists of grouping enemies together on top of Maetria, allowing her to stall, strip shields, and do damage. Additionally, enemies are charmed into attack each other with Fox Fatale’s level 12 skill, although in most situations you will also need Fox Fatale’s level 15 skill.
Hildwin is almost always used on this comp because of his amazing survivability (he needs level 9 furniture and level 60 engravings for great survivability) and his capability to group enemies together. AThoran‘s amazing survivability and high dps also makes him a great option for this comp.
Nemora is great to charm enemies, but she needs her level 9 furniture to work properly. Lorsan‘s linking skill is also very helpful on this comp and it works even at Elite ascension.
Khazard can make Maetria’s skills last longer on enemies, but he needs at least level 0 signature activated to work properly. Although his level 30 signature is even better and it is recommended for most situations.
Tamrus and Kalthin are extra options to group up enemies. Brutus and Atheus are great at tanking damage. Shuna provides extra survivability. Mira, Knox, Shalltear, and Skylan are good heroes with high survivability.
Artifacts/Collections
Captive Wings is usually the best collection for all mages because it helps to charm enemies more often. Captive Wings with Level 2 skill is even better because it increases your mages survivability.
Warriors will always wear Temporal Cover. Tanks will use either Timeline Watch or Spell Bondage.
Supports will almost always use Luminous Flight, but Trader’s Vault is a niche option to give energy to your allies.
Skylan will mostly use Shadowflow Blade, but Dual Divinity and Judgement Armor can also be very strong on him.
Examples
AEironn comp
| Core hero: Awakened Eironn |
The most common heroes in this comp: Aurelia, Awakened Shemira, Ivan,  Misha, Atheus, Shuna, Tamrus, Melion |
Other heroes that are occasionally useful in this comp:  Lan, Knox, Zohra, Kalthin, Nyla,  Awakened Ezizh, Awakened Thoran,  Awakened Lucius,  Velufira, Awakened Lyca |
| The most common beasts in this comp: Treatspector > Fox Fatale, Trickery Chest > Ice Crown, Flutterplume Owl |
AEironn is a hero with very high dps and amazing CC skills. He is usually paired with heroes that can help him at stunning enemies and at damaging enemies, or buffing him and grouping enemies together.
Artifacts/Collections
AEironn can use any of the three ranger Collections (Judgement Armor, Shadowflow Blade, or Sandstorm Fangs), they’re very good on him. But in most situations, Shadowflow Blade is the best option.
Supports will almost always use Luminous Flight, but Trader’s Vault is a niche option to give energy to your allies.
Warriors will always wear Temporal Cover. Tanks will use either Timeline Watch or Spell Bondage.
Mages will use either Captive Wings or Oculus Diabolus, but Captive Wings with level 2 skill is the best option in most situations.
Examples
Envydiel comp
| Core hero: Envydiel |
| The most common heroes in this comp: Awakened Shemira, Ivan, Shuna, Awakened Lyca, Kalthin, Melion, Lavatune |
| Other heroes that are occasionally useful in this comp: Alna, Daemia, Aurelia, Emilia, Tamrus, Knox, Hildwin, Misha, Atheus, Rem, Adrian & Elise |
| The most common beasts in this comp: Treatspector > Flutterplume Owl, Ice Crown > Slumber Seal, Trickery Chest |
This comp consists on protecting Envydiel while he carries your team.
Artifacts/Collections
Envydiel will mostly use Shadowflow Blade, but Judgement Armor and Dual Divinity can also be very strong him.
Supports will almost always use Luminous Flight, but Trader’s Vault is a niche option to give energy to your allies.
Warriors will always wear Temporal Cover. Tanks will use either Timeline Watch or Spell Bondage.
Mages will use either Captive Wings or Oculus Diabolus, but Captive Wings with level 2 skill is the best option in most situations. The only exception is Daemia because she must ult as fast as possible, so Windbinder, Call, and Winged Warden can be better than mage collections in many situations, but she might need Captive Wings level 2 sometimes to survive long enough until she ults.
Examples
Other carries
Skylan and Sion can also carry at extremely high level deficits. Their teams are usually very similar to Envydiel teams. If Sion or Skylan live long enough, they will probably kill the entire enemy team.
Skylan has better survivability than Envydiel because of his cheat death skills. Sion is a stationary hero, so that might be useful to make him survive longer than Envydiel. But Envydiel has a greater damage output potential, so he is used more often in the meta.
Skylan and Sion will mostly use Shadowflow Blade as collection, but Judgement Armor can also be useful on them and Dual Divinity is also useful for Skylan.
Here you can see two examples of teams with Sion and Skylan at very high level deficits.
