Understanding how your DPS (Damage Per Second) works is key to absolutely shredding through enemies and bosses.

This guide is all about helping you figure that out, so you can stop guessing and start melting faces.
We're going to dive into how the game calculates your damage, what stats actually matter, and how to use that knowledge to build the ultimate DPS loadout. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds. We'll break it down step-by-step, just like we're playing together.
Quests Overview
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of DPS, it's worth remembering that a huge part of progressing and unlocking the tools you need for high DPS comes from completing quests. The game tracks your progress across a bunch of categories, and hitting certain milestones will unlock new characters, weapons, tomes, and items that are crucial for boosting your damage output. You'll see lists of these quests scattered throughout the wiki, but here's a quick rundown of what you'll be working towards:
- Characters: There are 18 quests tied to unlocking new characters. Each one might offer a different playstyle or passive bonus that can influence your DPS.
- Weapons: With 22 quests focused on weapons, you'll be unlocking some serious firepower. This is where you'll find the tools to deal massive damage.
- Tomes: 10 quests are dedicated to Tomes. These are like spellbooks that grant powerful abilities or stat boosts, often directly impacting your DPS.
- Items: A whopping 43 quests are linked to items. These can range from passive buffs to active abilities that can significantly increase your damage or survivability, letting you stay in the fight longer to deal more damage.
- General: 15 general quests often unlock shop upgrades or new maps, indirectly helping your DPS by providing better resources or access to new areas.
- Challenges: 13 quests are tied to challenges, which usually involve specific combat scenarios that test your skills and can reward you with powerful unlocks.
- Skins: While 20 quests unlock skins, these are purely cosmetic and won't directly affect your DPS, but hey, looking good while you're dealing damage is a bonus!
Keep in mind that some quests are chained together, meaning you'll need to complete earlier ones before you can tackle later, more rewarding quests. So, always keep an eye on your quest log!
