PvE Content Progression (General) — Epic Seven Guide

Chart your Epic Seven PvE progression. This guide outlines essential steps from early game story missions to building strong heroes and gear for challenges.

Welcome, Heir! Navigating the vast world of Epic Seven's PvE content can seem daunting, but with a clear progression path, you'll efficiently build your roster and gear to conquer any challenge. This guide outlines the essential steps to ensure a smooth and powerful journey.

Early Game: Story & Adventure

Your initial focus should be on completing the main story chapters. This unlocks crucial content and provides valuable early-game resources.

• Adventure Mode (Episode 1): Prioritize clearing Episode 1 to unlock key features like the Sanctuary and various Hunts. Don't worry about 3-starring every stage immediately; focus on progression.
• Unlocking the Sanctuary: As you progress through Episode 1, you'll unlock the Sanctuary. This is vital for passive resource generation.
  • Heart of Orbis: Upgrade this first to increase the rate at which you acquire Orbis. Orbis is used to upgrade other Sanctuary buildings.
  • Forest of Souls: Prioritize upgrading this to produce Phantasmas (used for promoting heroes) and Penguins (for hero experience).
  • Steel Workshop: Upgrade this to craft gear. While early crafting might not yield top-tier items, it's a good way to fill gear slots.
• Free Gear Sets: Pay close attention to the free gear sets provided through various events and story completion. The Attack Set and Health Set are excellent starting points for many heroes.

Mid Game: Hunts & Wyvern 13

Once you've made significant progress in Episode 1, your primary goal shifts to farming Hunts, specifically Wyvern 13. This is where you'll acquire the bulk of your usable gear.

Wyvern 13 Preparation

Wyvern 13 is the cornerstone of PvE progression due to its drops of Speed, Critical, and Hit sets – universally useful gear. Building a dedicated Wyvern team is paramount.

• Team Composition (Typical):
  • Tank: A strong Ice-elemental Knight or Soul Weaver is ideal. Examples include Angelica, Crozet, or Furious (if built with high effectiveness). They need high HP and Defense.
  • Defense Breaker: Essential for significantly increasing damage. Furious is the free-to-play king here, providing consistent Defense Break and Critical Hit Chance buffs. Equip him with the Song of Stars artifact if possible for target debuff.
  • Main DPS (Ice): A powerful Ice-elemental Ranger or Warrior. Sigret is a top-tier choice due to her ability to inflict multiple debuffs and deal high damage. Other options include Alexa (especially with the Daydream Joker artifact) or Seaside Bellona.
  • Support/Sub-DPS (Ice): Another Ice-elemental unit to provide additional damage, debuffs, or utility. Muwi is an excellent free-to-play option, providing consistent debuffs and combat readiness pushes.
• Gear Focus:
  • Tank: Focus on Health and Defense sets with high HP% and DEF% main stats. Speed sub-stats are also beneficial.
  • DPS: Prioritize Critical Chance and Critical Damage. Speed is also crucial for more turns. The Free Attack Set from Episode 1 can be a good starting point.
  • Defense Breaker/Support: Ensure they have enough Effectiveness to land their debuffs consistently (around 65% for Wyvern 13). Speed is also important.
• Artifacts:
  • Daydream Joker: This 3-star artifact is a must-have for all DPS units in Wyvern, as its damage scales with enemy max HP. Max it out!
  • Proof of Valor/Sepulcrum: Excellent tanking artifacts to reduce incoming damage.
  • Song of Stars: For Furious, to apply the Target debuff.

Late Game: Abyss, Raids & Expedition

Once you have a stable Wyvern 13 team and are consistently farming gear, you can expand your focus to other challenging PvE content.

• Abyss: Climb the Abyss floors for valuable rewards, including Skystones, Gold, MolaGora, and powerful gear sets. Each floor presents unique challenges requiring diverse hero compositions and strategies.
• Raid Labyrinth (Azmakalis): Tackle the Raid Labyrinth for high-quality gear, crafting materials, and unique artifacts. The normal difficulty is a good starting point, eventually progressing to Hell difficulty.
  • Entry Tickets: You'll need Labyrinth Entry Tickets to enter, which regenerate over time.
  • Morale: Manage your team's morale carefully, as it affects their combat effectiveness within the Labyrinth.
• Expedition: Participate in Expeditions to earn powerful crafting materials, Skystones, and exclusive Expedition gear. These boss battles require specific strategies and hero types to maximize damage and rewards.
  • Elemental Advantage: Pay attention to the elemental weakness of the Expedition boss to optimize your team's damage.
  • Debuffers: Many Expedition bosses require specific debuffs to be applied consistently for maximum efficiency.

Remember, Epic Seven is a marathon, not a sprint. Consistent farming, strategic hero building, and smart resource management are key to long-term success in PvE.
