Ascending from the base tier to maximum advancement necessitates collecting over half a million runes. This formidable challenge requires swift navigation through environments, favorable initial positioning, and strategic utilization of resource-enhancing modifiers.
Strategies for Maximum Advancement
Ascending to the game’s highest tier demands agility, strategic planning, and favorable enemy spawn RNG. Several tactics can enhance progression efficiency for determined players.
Activated geological phenomena zones present prime opportunities for rapid advancement. These high-value regions contain numerous elite foes. Prioritize these zones during later phases, assuming sufficient resource accumulation from initial stage activities.
During preliminary phases, quickly secure nearby encampments before targeting strategic perimeter locations. These border areas become inaccessible during environmental contractions, requiring a systematic spiral movement pattern for efficient clearing.
Temporal resource amplification items prove most effective when activated during pivotal encounters. Conserve these consumables for major engagements rather than initial skirmishes. Equipping artifacts that passively enhance resource collection further optimizes accumulation rates.
While consistent maximum-tier achievement remains challenging, understanding resource benchmarks provides clear progression tracking. Consult dedicated strategy resources for comprehensive expedition tactics and elite adversary countermeasures.
