In Chapter 11 of our step-by-step guide, we will now finally fuse Dark Ifrit (Veromos). After days/weeks of farming the fusion materials, we will get to see how he fairs in your game progression. From here onward, we will use him in place of Lapis to farm reliably in GB8 with a little over 3 minutes per run. Previously, our runs were over 4 mins and a bit unreliable. The purpose of farming here is to improve our current runes to prepare and beat GB10 in auto, which we are really close to! so hang in there, hold your horses as we upgrade your monster arsenal.
With Veromos now in action, we open up new areas to conquer. One of these is the Trial of Ascension. What makes ToA worthwhile to farm is it gives out special rewards after defeating the boss every 10 stages. Among those are Devilmon, L&D scroll, and Legendary scroll. Not only that but ToA is a good source of crystals. With our current core team, we will try how far can we clear and get those rewards.
So here we go!
Fusing Veromos
Arguably the best monster you can get from the monster fusion. Following the guide, he will likely be your first 6* monster. He excels pretty much everywhere early-on, with usage in all Cairos Dungeons, ToA, PvP and even as a fodder farmer (I use him to farm Hydeni Ruins Stage 5 Hell). He’s definitely a worthwhile investment to make in terms of time, resources and devilmons!
Why did we choose to fuse him first? Not Sigmarus, Katarina or Fire Panda? First, Veromos is an amazing monster for both GB10 and DB10 especially for starting players.
# 1: With a cleanse every turn, it effectively makes the defense breaks in GB10 and the DoTs in DB10 far less scary than they normally are.
# 2: Veromos has a good AoE stun rate on his 2nd Skill for crowd-control and a decent 75% chance to DoT on his 1st when maxed.
# 3: He offers a great leader skill, which boosts the overall survivability of your team by a considerable amount.
Newer players should build Veromos on Swift to make him as fast as possible. Only when you get a GOOD set of Violent runes should you make the transition. For the majority of early-game players, Veromos is pretty much vital in starting GB10 and DB10.
Max your Veromos’ skill levels ASAP
Improving your GB8 runs
Previously we are using Lapis to farm GB8, and since it is a Wind stage she is at a disadvantage that made little use of her damage and CC potential. So as a countermeasure, we will replace her for Veromos. Using the recommended stats above, it should be convincing enough that your run time should improve. Damage-over-time is surely a great way to kill the boss faster, this strategy also applies with DB10 and NB10 so take note!
The current support monsters should be enough to handle GB8 boss. Just make sure to +12 runes that have are at least 5* and with ideal substats. Check out the GB8 lineup and their stats:
Veromos: Swift/ Energy (SPD / HP% / HP%)
Minimum stat:
HP: 15k
DEF: 650
SPD: 165
Accuracy: 35%
Bernard: Swift / Energy (SPD / HP% / HP%)
Minimum stat:
HP: 15k
DEF: 600
SPD: 180
Accuracy: 30%
Belladeon: Swift / Energy (SPD / HP% / HP%)
Minimum stat:

Using your core team in Trial of Ascension
Trial of Ascension (ToA) is a PVE game content with various rewards upon completing certain floors/stage. Unlocked at Level 15, ToA has 100 Floors and increases in difficulty as you advance further. Players must complete each floor to advance on top. Now with Veromos in our monster list, we can use our GB8/10 core team to clear some floors and get awesome rewards. First let’s try ToA normal.
Each floor there are 3 waves of monsters with mini-boss on last wave. The main strategy for ToA is Crowd Control (CC) and Damage Over Time (DOT). Enemy units especially on higher floors deal huge damage and high HP so it is important to keep them down and deal continuous damage (-5% HP) per turn. Familiar which monster has DOT and CC potential? Exactly! None other than Veromos.
Rune Requirements: (Same as your current Giants core team)
Results: Floors 1-49 is autoable, 50F can be cleared on either manual or auto depending on ToA season/monthly rotation. Toa (Hard) up to 30F. Rewards claimed as below.
- 64x Summoning stones
- 205 Crystals
- 200 Energy
- 2x 3* Max Rainbowmon
- 4 Mystical Scrolls
In the future as we form our DB10 team, we will try to clear ToA 100 and get more awesome rewards like Devilmons, Light& Darkness scroll and Legendary scroll. In the meantime, make sure that you clear these 50 floors (Normal) and 30 floors (Hard) every ToA reset. As you progress and boost your monster’s capabilities, you can try clearing the higher floors. Check out our ToA in depth-guide too see the recommended monsters, stat requirements, team composition, and niche units to conquer the tower!
Game Progression Guide
Key Monsters to Level Up:
- Veromos 5* Max
- 5* fodders to 6* Veromos
Resource Management
- Farm ToA up to 50F (Normal) and 30F (Hard) at the very least based on the current capabilies of your monsters.
- Try clearing the 10F of Element halls using your current core team + 1 Friend Rep. Each hall will give you 150 crystal reward for a total of 750 crystals on your first completion.
- Keep an eye on 6* Hero and Legend runes on Magic Shop. Buy when it fits the desired stats.
- Sell 4* Rare runes if they are slots 1/3/5. Keep usable 4* Rare runes with ideal stats from slot 2/4/6. Keep 5* usable runes.
- Remember to collect guaranteed crystals from defeating your rivals every time they are up.
- Rune power-up priority: Slots 2,4 and 6. Keep 4* and 5* runes to +12. Save Mana Stones for 6* runes.
- Only power-up runes to +12 if they are at least 4* and with good stats/substats.
- Collect rewards from Events, they give plenty of resources.
- Continue upgrading your Sanctum of Energy, Mysterious Plant and Sky Tribe Totem.
Chapter 12: Conquering Giant’s Keep B10 (Auto-team) and Veromos as 6*
Step-by-Step, Chapter 14: Baretta Fusion and Conquering the Trial of Ascension
Step-by-Step, Chapter 13: Speeding up your GB10 runs, ToA 70, and DB8
So, been playing since beginning of january and recently found this guide.
gotta say, I am starting to clear gb8 now with Kro (6*), Cloe (6*, full shield runes),Bernard (6*), Bella (6*), Veromos (5*, recently fused).
seems 2 be working, with cloe (24khp) giving almost 12k shield
Also having Darion 5*, 20k hp, slot 6 missing. thinking about subbing him in.
But i do wonder about a previously mentioned question: where did you get those focus runes?
running my team without em, which of course is possible. just asking.
Gonna test, if my guys can clear gb 10 ( for the challenge ^^).
short update:
managed 2 defeat gb10 with my setup:
Cro 40, Cloe 40, Bernard 40, Bella 40, Veromos 39.
Cloe now with 26k dmg.
First run took me 4min 30.
Dont have the required stats for gb 10 perfectly, but they are sufficient as it seems.
Where do you farm focus runes? The ones from scenario are just green / white, feels like a waste to upgrade them. Do you recommend taking time in DB for the focus runes on shannon, vero etc?
Hey DK,
Thanks to to your help, I’ve been able to auto GB7 with 95% success now! I am currently running Vero on lead, with Bella, Shannon, Benard and Lapis.
My Darion is still sitting in the box as 4*, I have been farming GB7 for runes, thus haven’t been levelling him. However, Ahman has been buff recently. Especially now that he heals 20% of its HP crit, is he a better replacement for Darion?
I was also lucky enough to get Wind Panda Warrior, Feng-Yan. Assuming if I am able to get his second skilled maxed, I thought he would be a decent tanker/healer and dps. The only downside is the multi-hit first skill, but with all the Def% rune, he should be good right? I thought maybe I’ll skip Darion / Ahman together and just use him instead.
Few other notable acquisition from the numerous premium packs,
Wind Neostone Agent – Olivia, her kit looks like Shannon’s, and might be better?
Wind Neostone Fighter – Logan – ATB Controller
Fire Rakasha – Hwa – ATB Controller
Wind Barbaric King – Hraesvelg – Seems like he could be better than Benard because of speed + attack buff
Wind Pierret – Sophia – DPS?
Water Pirate – Galleon –
With the rune removal event coming up, I have been holding off on my evolving, and I’m really hoping to hear your feedback on the best lineup I can use.
Thank you so much
Hey! I was lucky enough to pull Lushen and Teshar, so i was wondering if i should include them into my team. I’m currently struggling to get despair runes for shannon, but even so I can do GB8 90% of the times. So should I include none, one, or both of them into my team? And if so, who should I take out?
Hello,
Can you help me with GB10, DB10 and/or TOA teams?
My best three units are:
I have 6 star varamos (almost awakened): 23k Hp, 900 attck 1.2k def 150 Spd 44% criR 105%criD 19% res 46% acc 6-7 skill lvl ups
6 star Lapis 15k hp 950 attck 800 def 125 spd 31% res, 73% acc (working on finding a non acc 6 rune) lvled up 4-5 skills
5 star bella 12k hp 550 attck 850 def 165 spd 21% res 8% acc (assuming i need way better acc) *max level skills
then I have good runes (for early game) on:
5 star kahli *max skills
5 star Colleen *max skills
5 star Kumar
5 star konamiya *max skills lvl ups
5 star Hathor
5 star Briand
5 star Meagan *5 skill lvl ups
Then guys that I have been giving spare runes/ no runes and I have not really been committed to lvling:(none are awakened)
4 star bernard
4 star horus
4 star emma
4 star Rigel
4 star Garo
4 star Logan
4 star Avaris
4 star Woonkah
Basically who should I be using for these different things, and after I max devilmons on varamos where should they go next.
Also, sorry for the wall of text. I have been reading up a lot on good teams and most people agree that its better to have a team with good synergy rather than just the strongest units you have (which is generally what I have been doing so far b/c I have no idea what units work well together).
Thanks!!
Hello there, from the units you have the most stable think I can think of to begin with is:
Vero (L), Bella, Megan, Bernard, Lapis.
I would recommend u keep farming with what you have until the next FRR (we’re only 10 days away)
If not focus on:
Vero: more speed, ideally 180+ (you can take away CR% and CRD from him from now, give those runes to Lapis if possible)
Lapis: damage dealer, you can use your Veromos runes on her, trying to keep the actual HP, Def, and Speed.
Bella: at least 15k hp, keep current def, 180+ speed, acc 45 is a must.
Megan: at least 15k hp, try to get 800 def, 45 acc if possible, and as much speed as you can.
Bernard: speed, speed, and more speed. He has elemental advantage on GB10 so you don’t exclusively need 15k hp and 800 def, but aim for those stats aswell.
Turn order should be: Bernard, Bella>Megan, Vero, Lapis. Turn order is as important as stats. Bernard should be your faster unit every time, and Bella and Megan MUST move before damage dealers.
Don’t get distracted by DB10, and climb as far as you can on ToA but don’t over do it for now, your goal is to safe auto GB10, then focus on better times, then work on your ToA team (at least 1 month from now), and then aim for DB10 safe team (3 or more months from now).
Hope it was helpful.
Thanks for the feedback.
I will work on reducing his Cri stats. It was not intentional to get those stats that high its just how my best runes have been rolling. Right now I am running Violent and Energy. I think I can also try to swap out high acc runes on him as well cause I after awakening him He is up to 71% acc. Which although is good, could be better used in speed.
Lapis I am running despair/ revenge on right now. I have a couple really strong 6* runes on her right now and then a couple really weak 4* common (+12) ones that have poor stats and Im looking to replace
Bella: kinda knew he had a few shortcoming but thanks for the advice on the acc hp and speed. He is currently running swift/revenge but I might transition to swift/focus.
Megan: I only recently started working on. Right now she is running violent/revenge.
14k Hp 800 attack 725 def 101 speed 32% criR 70% criD 35%Res 31% acc
I think I can manage to get most of those stats, the speed is probably the only thing that wont be easy. Right now she is still running a + flat attack on 2 (im waiting on a speed violent rune) and that should help a bit. What speed should I be aiming for (just above lapis and vero)
Finally is Bernard, I am running swift and energy on him. I actually just 5 starred him so no idea what his stats are like, but those are easier runes to find and level.
Thanks for the advice though!
I wasnt really planning on running DB10 or completing TOA quite yet but was more trying to figure out what a good team for them might be so I could make sure to save runes and give them any extras/unused runes that I dont need on the gb10 team.
Hi, first of all thx for the guide, it really helps.
I got lucky enought to get a Taor, and i was wondering which mons i should swap out for him? Should i feed him my devilmons or should i keep them for Veromos? thx for any answers ^^
You should keep them for veromos. Once your supports have good runes and are surviving GB10 runs, then you can max Taor and swap darion out for a faster clear time
I recently got chow and I was wondering if I can replace Darion in the team of Vero (L), Bernard, Shannon, Belladeon, Darion
hi, i just following ur guide a month ago and i can auto gb10 now with all ur guide but i dont have another summon. i tried somany times and only get reno and yen. what should i do right now?
sorry for bad english
Hey! I just got Ganymede from summoning stones (my first nat 5 :D), I know he is god tier in pvp, but is there any other use for him?
Taking in consideration that I’m an early game player, I’ve been following your guides. Currently farming 100% gb10 and going for ToA, I also fused Baretta.
Ganymede is the king of CC in ToA…
Hello. I got Wind Beast Monk (not awakened yet). I’m farming GB 7 already. Can i put him in my core for GB 8, 9 and 10?
My core team at moment is: Lapis, Bella, Shannon, Bernard and Konamiya. I’m Farming Veromos.
And worth make him my first 6*?
Ty for helping, awesome guides.
Ps. Sorry for any grammar error, not my native language.
Hello. I’am farming gb10 in 4 min with Vero (6*) Bella (6*) bernard shannon and darion.
I don’t know which next mobs to pass 6 star. barreta (5*) for the toa. trevor for PVP and farming and db10. Hraesvelg to improve my time in gb10.
I have so Psamathe but i have no good runes for him.
Hello! Today I got Mystic Witch (Megan) worth it I replace Shannon for her?
Only if your current stats are higher than the recommended. Megan can clear faster but you need to back it up with good runes.
Remember that you are getting rid of that glancing hit and AOE slow. But for GB8, since she is an element disadvantage Shannon has the upper hand. As for my advice, replace Shannon for Megan starting GB10-DB10 transition. For now, Shannon should keep you safe 🙂
Hello. for toa my team is baretta veromos belladeon. for the 2 others i have lapis spectra bernard and mav. what would it be the best team. thanks for your guide.
the most standard toa team is vero, baretta, bella, spectre and bernard. baretta and bernard don’t have to be 6*. if you got some good runes on spectre, you could leave him 5*, but a big chance he ends up dying many times. you could use mav instead of bernard, but that is only possible when all of your mons are faster than the mons in the toa stages.
However, for this comp you need quite high rune quality. My first toa clear was with vero, bella, chasun, hwa and verdehile. I was lucky enough to pull hwa, verde and chasun soon enough to be in my first clear tho. but I think hwa is a key mon in that team. if you don’t have chasun, put a good healer in her place, like colleen, and replace verdehile with spectre. but you need hwa for that. If you don’t have her, I recommend saving stones untill she is in the list of available summons, and try your luck at summoning her 😛
Baretta (L), Veromos, Belladeon, Spectra, Mav/Lapis (Depending on stage)
Turn order: Spectra > Baretta/Belladeon > Veromos > Mav/Lapis
You’re welcome 🙂
hey! amazing news for me! i already have veremos
but you previously told me to *6 lushen
right now both of them are 5* , who should 6* first, i also have lushen with 6 devil mons and hero fatalty 5 *runes
who should i 6* first
i also have barreta and spectra ( is lupinos better)
should i make a toat team with them?
also my final question
what should i prioritize?
i have never farm giants so
-farm b8 giants with my team till i have runes for everyone
– 5* barreta and spectra (lupibos) si i can toa
farm for both 6* veremos and lushen
or farm for that fenix fusio n
my gb team is
veremos 5*
lushen 5*
shanon 5*
bella 5*
mihyanh 5* ]
but i CANT! gb 8
can u state ur monster stats?
I would 6* Veromos first.
Lushen is a brilliant monster. But his main purposes are PVP and to speed up map clearance times.
Veromos is far better however at giving you the tools to progress.
With Veromos at 6* you will be able to clear higher dungeon runs due to his high base HP/Defence and leader skill.
His Dots also inflict plenty of damage on the boss too.
Once you have a working safe team, then upgrade Lushen to speed your run up.
Bernard is also missing from your team. His reliable Atk Down is so important for survival.
Likewise for TOA, Lushen will significantly speed up the early safer runs but Veromos will let you grind out the tougher victories.
Lushen really is great but I would probably 6* Bella after vero to really beef up your PVE teams.
I hope this helps
I do have Bernard but in previous guides dk said that I should replace him
Nooooo -.- Bernard should be used until you successfully clear GB10. Don’t use Mihyang on GB8 as she is at an elemental disadvantage :/
I looked back on previous chapters but can’t find where I said to replace Bernard. Anyway sorry if it got you confused, Bernard Shannon Bella and Veromos are part of the Beginner core team. So for that +1 missing in your lineup Lushen is a perfect fit. You just need to farm GB8 extensively to meet the rune requirements for GB10 🙂 Hope this clears up. Have fun! 🙂
Focus on Lushen as your first 6*, allocate the Devilmons to him as well.
Then use him as fodder farmer in Hydeni ruins stage 5 (Hell) to level up monsters.
Next is to farm GB7/8 extensively till you have the runes for everyone (getting ready for GB10).
You can use your standard team to clear up to ToA50. But I advise you to focus on GB10 auto team first, and it starts with Lushen and GB7/8. 🙂
Then you can 6* Veromos after Lushen. It’s just that Lushen clears faster as 6* and you don’t need a 6* Veromos to clear GB7/8.
