Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the best ability in Solo Hunters?

Shadow Scythe, Divine Blade, and Dual Daggers are currently the strongest. Shadow Scythe dominates AoE farming, while Dual Daggers is ideal for single-target melee burst.

How can I get Mythic abilities fast?

Mythics have a 0.6% drop rate. The best way to farm Gems is from Daily Quests and dungeon grinds. You can also use codes and events for free Gems, too.

Should beginners use Magic or Melee builds?

Magic is safer for early dungeons, but melee builds scale better and dominate from mid-game onwards. Transition around level 50-80.

Can I reroll a bad Rune/Ability?

You cannot reroll the Rune itself, but you can summon again. Extra runes don’t go to waste as they can be stored or fused depending on future updates.
