Pro Tips for Class Progression

1. Start with a default class: Before attempting to unlock advanced classes, master one of the starting classes (Warrior or Mage) to understand the game’s mechanics.
2. Save your resources: Don’t spend all your gold and resources on your first class. You’ll need them for unlocking and equipping new classes.
3. Complete all quests: Many class unlocks require specific quest completions. Make sure to thoroughly explore each area and complete all available quests.
4. Join a guild: Some classes are easier to unlock with group help. Joining a guild can provide assistance and valuable tips.
5. Experiment with different playstyles: Don’t just stick to one type of class. Try tanks, healers, and DPS to find what suits you best.
6. Save class-specific gear: If you find gear for a class you haven’t unlocked yet, save it in your bank. It will save you time and resources later.
7. Plan your progression path: Some classes require other classes to be at maximum level. Plan your progression to unlock classes efficiently.
8. Utilize the training dummies: Practice your rotation and abilities on the training dummies in the main hub area before tackling difficult content.
9. Watch tutorial videos: Some classes have complex mechanics that are easier to understand visually. Check community resources for video guides.
10. Participate in events: Seasonal events often offer unique rewards that can help with class progression or unlocking special variants.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Neglecting your first class: Don’t abandon your starting class completely. You’ll need it to unlock other classes and it’s good to have a well-geared character to fall back on.
2. Spending resources prematurely: Don’t upgrade gear for a class you’re just trying out. Wait until you’ve committed to a class before investing heavily.
3. Ignoring synergies: Some classes work better together than others. Consider how your unlocked classes complement each other.
4. Skipping the tutorial areas: Even if you’re an experienced player, the tutorial areas for new classes often contain important information about unique mechanics.
5. Not reading ability descriptions: Some classes have abilities with secondary effects that aren’t immediately obvious. Take the time to read everything carefully.
6. Forgetting to reset abilities: When switching between classes, make sure to reset your abilities and reassign points according to the new class’s needs.
7. Ignoring community resources: The Excry community has created numerous guides and resources that can help you optimize your class builds and progression.
8. Trying to unlock everything at once: Focus on one or two classes at a time rather than trying to unlock everything simultaneously.
9. Neglecting defensive options: It’s tempting to focus entirely on damage, but defensive abilities and gear are crucial for surviving difficult content.
10. Not adapting to updates: Game updates can change class balance and mechanics. Stay informed about the latest changes to keep your builds optimal.
