Omeda Studios rebuilt Epic's cancelled Paragon into this free to play third person MOBA, leaving Early Access on 30 November 2022 and hitting 1.0 on 20 August 2024. Over 45 heroes fill five roles across three lanes and a jungle, and every ability is aimed over the shoulder rather than clicked, so terrain and vaulting actually change fights. Matches revolve around two timed objectives, Fangtooth at five minutes and Orb Prime later.
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 equipment | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your build's key combinations |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary equipment | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Midlane
Key resources: Fast levels, river vision control, and gank pressure on both side lanes Farming efficiency: Good early-game farming spot
Focus on gathering materials for Magician Crest upgrades here. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.
Duo Lane
Key resources: Carry farm, early objective control, and Support roaming windows Farming efficiency: Best mid-game farming, worth revisiting
Focus on gathering materials for Magician Crest upgrades here. See our maps guide for detailed area layouts.
Fangtooth Pit

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Offlane to Midlane)
- Upgrade your starting equipment to functional level
- Craft basic defensive gear
- Save specialty materials, since you'll need them later
- Focus on Magician Crest once accessible
Mid Game (Duo Lane)
- Push Magician Crest to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for Warrior Crest
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces
Late Game (Fangtooth Pit to Orb Prime Pit)
- Max out Warrior Crest. This is your top priority
- Complete your build's core gear set
- Craft endgame consumables
- Optional: upgrade secondary equipment for variety
Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple equipment: 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 Duo Lane 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
- Pick the crest that matches your role before the match starts. Taking a Marksman Crest on a mage gives you attack speed you will never use and locks you out of the Epoch path that build actually needs.
- Farm Duo Lane 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
