[Gameplay Overview]

【Exploration Quest】

Exploration Quests are divided into Daily Exploration, In-depth Exploration, and Alliance Exploration. Completing these quests will increase your exploration progress.

Elemental Domain

As shown in the image, the Ramalan Volcano has three Elemental Domains. Each boss in these stages has skills similar to those of legendary heroes, is immune to all control, and takes 50% more damage from certain elements.
Tips for Challenges: All three Elemental Domains offer the same rewards, and there's no limit on hero usage. Try to clear all stages to earn the best rewards of In-depth Exploration. After maximizing rewards in Chaos Shadows daily, you can use any extra Oasis Water to complete one Adventure Preparation quest, and spend the rest on the toughest Elemental Domain. Focus on those where you can easily handle Difficulty 5.

Chaos Shadows

In Chaos Shadows, six bosses spawn in the Ramalan Volcano for players to challenge, offering different rewards based on the total damage dealt. Here’s a quick guide:

1. The mechanics of these bosses are the same as in the [Dance of Misfortune] Continental Challenge but there’s no limit on how many times you can fight each boss in Chaos Shadows.
2. Each boss takes extra damage from a specific element—100% more, to be exact.
3. You can only use each hero in one Chaos Shadows battle per day.
4. Heroes focusing on stacking Accuracy should have over 280 Accuracy to increase the success rate of their debuffs, Ultimate Down, or dispelling enemy buffs.
5. DMG heroes should match the boss’s weak element, while support and Defense heroes just need to ensure they have the right elemental affinity.

Exploration Progress and Alliance Buffs

In the different gameplays in Otherworld Exploration, you'll earn Exploration Progress. When you hit specific milestones, you can claim rewards based on those Exploration Progress.

Plus, you'll receive Alliance Buffs based on the Total Alliance Exploration Progress. These buffs apply only to the current Otherworld Exploration but can give you a significant edge in areas like the Elemental Domain and Chaos Shadows.

Oasis Water Usage Tips:

1. Prioritize completing Daily Exploration quests—Adventure Preparation, Elemental Domain, and Chaos Shadows—at least once each day unless you can consistently hit the top reward tier of 22 million single-hit DMG 15 times in Chaos Shadows.
2. Try to get high-tier rewards in Chaos Shadows as often as possible. As long as you hit 7 million DMG, you’ll get better-than-average rewards. Since each hero can only be used once per day, make sure to use them based on the bosses’ elemental weaknesses. Start by maximizing rewards with your main team before working on other teams.
3. If you can't reach the 7 million DMG mark in Chaos Shadows, the highest difficulty in Elemental Domain is the fastest way to earn Exploration Progress.
4. Adventure Preparation provides fewer Exploration Progress. You can complete Daily, In-depth, and Alliance Exploration quests (1000 Adventure Preparation completions by your alliance) unless Wyrmarrow are a higher priority for you than Exploration Progress.
