Quick Answer
Do not spread resources evenly across every new item. Upgrade the weapons you use most, the armor set you are actively wearing, and the skills you actually press in fights. Nornir Chests, side quests, and permanent stat boosts are worth doing when they are nearby because they raise your safety margin.
Upgrade Priority
| Priority | Upgrade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| S | Main weapon levels | Unlocks skills and improves baseline damage |
| A | Current armor set | Stable power and defense gains |
| A | Frequently used skills | Better than buying skills you rarely use |
| B | Shield and rond | Strong if you block or parry often |
| B | Runic attacks | Useful, but cooldown-based early |
| C | Backup gear | Save it for later resource surplus |
Skill Direction
| Your playstyle | Prioritize |
|---|---|
| Safer range | Axe throws, recall tools, and control skills |
| Surrounded often | Blades crowd control, pulls, and burn pressure |
| Good at parries | Shield follow-ups and higher-risk payoff skills |
| Unsure | Upgrade basic strings and moves you use every fight |
Resource Rules
- Choose one main armor direction before spending heavily.
- Buy skills tied to moves you use repeatedly.
- If a fight feels impossible, check gear level and Nornir Chest upgrades.
- Side quests can give strong rewards, so use them when the main path gets rough.
- Save full collection, transmog, and extreme builds for later.
FAQ
Should I replace armor constantly?
No. Armor can be upgraded, so early stability matters more than swapping every time a new piece appears.
Should I upgrade runic attacks immediately?
Only if you use them often. If your early combat is mostly normal attacks, blocking, and dodging, prioritize core weapons and armor first.
