KLab's free-to-play gacha action game reached Steam on 17 August 2020, five years after the 2015 Japanese mobile launch, and it shares one account across PC and phone. You fight with a team of three in real-time 3D hack-and-slash quests, and everything above that is collection management: Soul Trees, Ascension, link slots, accessories and Transcendence. KLab reported 80 million downloads by August 2023 and has kept adding characters continuously since, which is why any character tier list you read has a short shelf life. Plan around the systems, which are stable, rather than around whichever character is strongest this month.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary weapons | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your role's key combinations |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary weapons | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Story Quests to Co-Op Quests)
- Upgrade your starting weapons to functional level
- Craft basic defensive gear
- Save specialty materials, since you'll need them later
- Focus on Strong Attack once accessible
Mid Game (Guild Quests)
- Push Strong Attack to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for Normal attack chains
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces
Late Game (Epic Raids to Senkaimon Quests)
- Max out Normal attack chains. This is your top priority
- Complete your build's core gear set
- Craft endgame consumables
- Optional: upgrade secondary weapons for variety
Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple weapons: Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials: Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear: Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Guild Quests farming: This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early: Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Read the attribute cycle once and keep it in your head: Power beats Technique, Technique beats Speed, Speed beats Power. Heart and Mind are the outlier pair, each strong and weak against the other, so a Heart team against a Mind stage cuts both ways.
- Farm Guild Quests during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build. Some classes farm faster in certain areas
