The first milestone as a beginner, Chapter 12 is about Conquering Giant’s Keep B10 in Auto-mode!
While others have conquered this feat using rare units from the luck of summoning, today we will showcase the basic and standard team to clear GB10 using farmable units. This is to help players who are having a hard time clearing such endeavor while dealing with the worst summoning luck. Don’t worry we can still progress without these OP monsters (Save that luck for later ^^ ). For those aiming a faster run and want a diverse lineup, check out our Giant’s Keep B10 guide for a wider scope of team composition.
A quick recap, we have just fused Veromos and this guy will be your MVP in GB10. Check out a few of the reasons why he is highly recommended for starter teams:
- Leader skill: 33% HP to allies. Reduces the HP requirement of your team.
- AOE debuff cleanse per turn, useful in boss stage against crystals that casts DEF break.
- Reliable AOE stun for fast wave clear and crowd-control.
- 1st skill applies continuous damage. DoTs kill the boss faster for beginner teams.
- You will be able to target boss first in auto mode and completely ignore the towers.
Important reminders:
There is no shortcut to GB10 farming, do not expect to clear runs with mediocre runes. Many people are wondering why they can’t farm reliably then looking at the monster stats, Bernard has 5% accuracy, Shannon has 10% and 13k HP which is unacceptable in GB10. Remember that SURVIVABILITY and ACCURACY is key to farming GB10 in your early progression. To achieve that you don’t need to rely on physical damage, but a reliable debuff application (ATK break and Glancing hit especially) and a consistent healing from Belladeon. If you can’t meet the requirements below, go back to farming GB8 until you get the desired stats.
If you already got it, let’s start and kill the Giant! 🙂
GB10 Minimum Stat Requirements
| Monster | Rune Set | Slot 2,4,6 | SPD | HP | DEF | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Veromos |  /  or  | SPD / HP% / HP% | 170 | 15k | 700 | 45% |
 Belladeon | / or | SPD / HP% / HP% or DEF% | 180 | 17k | 800 | 40% |
 Bernard | / or | SPD / HP% / HP% | 190 | 15k | 700 | 40% |
 Shannon | or  / | SPD / HP% / HP% | 180 | 15k | 650 | 40% |
 Darion | / / | HP% / HP% / HP% | Non-Priority | 24k | 700 | 35% |
Other requirements:
- Make sure to compensate the lack of HP or DEF, example if your Belladeon only has 16k HP make sure that his def is at least 850, and vice versa.
- Veromos should be Max skilled from Devilmon power-up.
- The other 4 should also be max skilled to take advantage of the cooldown reduction.
- Optional: Start investing on Sky Tribe Totem and Crystal Altar.
GB10 Run
| Remarks | |
|---|---|
| Wave 1: | A wave of 4 monsters, Veromos easily Crowd Controls 2-4 units with Super Crush. |
| Wave 2: | Bernard re-casts Tailwind and Shannon helping out on Crowd Control using Decelerate. |
| Wave 3: | With consistent skills (buff/debuffs), the mini-boss is not a threat to your team passing the wave at around 2 min mark. |
| Wave 4: | Similar to Wave 2, most of the time your units have their skills refreshed. Veromos and Shannon helps with the CC while Darion and others clears the wave using normal attacks. |
| Boss: | With over 40% Accuracy on support units, Belladeon easily def breaks the boss. Another important factor in clearing faster is Veromos' DoT which is easily applied on boss due to high accuracy. Just after the right Crystal puts Def break debuff on your team, Veromos cleanses it right away which reduced damage from boss AOE attack. Bernard and Darion also helps damage mitigation from ATK break, while Belladeon reassures you in stripping the ATK buff on boss. Accuracy and speed tuning is the key in clearing GB10. Alongside having high HP and DEF allows you a 90%+ GB10 auto run. |

GB10 vs GB8 rune drops:
GB8
GB10
GB10 drops the best runes for Despair, Swift, Fatal, Energy and Blade. Look for 6* runes with Hero grade.
Veromos as 6*
Veromos could be your 1st 6* and he is worth it. He can also be your fodder farmer in Hydeni Ruins Hell (Stage 5) as a start, and with his AOE skill 2 and fast cooldown he clears the wave fast (around 40sec/run). Plus, he will be your gateway to a lot game contents. After getting valuable drops from GB10, you can start aiming for Dragons B8, B9 and B10 which will be discussed in a few more chapters. In the meantime, focus on farming GB10 and focus on improving your clear time.
Get the best swift runes so you can progress even further. When I first started and on my way to transition to DB10, I farmed GB10 for a month. Thats all I did and focused and I tell you it was well worth it. Not only did I get good runes to boost up my units, I also got a lot of Rainbowmons to 6* key monsters such as Bella. I got a lot of Mystical scrolls, and Mana Crystals of course.
Veromos as Fodder Farmer:
While Lapis is a good fodder farmer in Faimon Hell Stage 1, Veromos is also a good option to farm Hell stages too! With similar stats on GB10 requirements, lets try Hydeni Ruins Hell (Stage 5):
| Run | Hydeni Ruins (Hell) Stage 5 |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0:52 |
| 2 | 1:09 |
| 3 | 1:06 |
| 4 | 1:09 |
| 5 | 1:04 |
| 6 | 1:15 |
| 7 | 1:09 |
| 8 | 0:54 |
| 9 | 1:00 |
| 10 | 0:52 |
| 11 | 1:08 |
| 12 | 1:09 |
| 13 | 1:15 |
| 14 | 1:07 |
| 15 | 1:08 |
| 16 | 1:01 |
| 17 | 1:00 |
| 18 | 1:28 |
| 19 | 1:08 |
| 20 | 1:07 |
| Average | 1:06 |
Veromos as ToA unit:
Using GB10 core team and their current stats, we can clear ToA 50 and get awesome rewards.
- Full-auto on stages 1-49. Semi-auto on stage 50 (depending on ToA season)
- Rotation of Veromos, Belladeon, Lapis, Bernard, Shannon and Darion
- All are still 5* max. no 6*
Next Chapter will will cover ToA 70 using other farmable units. Let’s try to get that Devilmon!
Veromos as mid-tier Arena unit:
Veromos is a strong competitor in Fighter level arena. You can end up with F1-F3 rewards during Arena tally.
Veromos as DB8/9/10 unit:
This is one of the many reasons I suggest Veromos as your first 6*. Aside from being able to clear GB10, he is a much important unit in Dragon’s Lair to cleanse the DoTs from boss and crystal.
*Note: this is using the same GB10 core lineup.
Game Progression Guide
Sigmarus Fusion:
- Start collecting Water Phoenix (Sigmarus) Fusion monsters. This monster is vital to speed up your GB10 run and transitioning to DB10.
Rune Upgrade:
- Farm for ideal 6* runes (At least Rare grade)
- Power-up to +12 all your 1/3/5 5* runes
Key Monsters to Level Up:
- Veromos 6* Max
- 5* fodders to 6* Belladeon
- Note: Do not 6* Shannon, Darion or Bernard yet. You only need Veromos and Belladeon as 6* to farm DB10 in the future.
Resource Management
- Save you Mana Stones for rune upgrades. GB10 gives a better return rate so after a few refills you can normally achieve around 1M Mana.
- Sell all 4* runes unless Legend rarity with ideal subs.
- +15 your 6* Main stat runes (2/4/6)
- Keep an eye on 6* Hero and Legend runes on Magic Shop. Buy when it fits the desired stats.
- Remember to collect guaranteed crystals from defeating your rivals every time they are up.
- Collect rewards from Events, they give plenty of resources.
- Continue upgrading your Sanctum of Energy, Mysterious Plant and Sky Tribe Totem.

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
farming it now with Cloe,Kro,Veromos,Bernard and Belladeon. All of em lev 40, suitable runes though not everyone fulfills the above mentioned conditions.
Could say, that they are rather good during the auto runs. out of roughly 20 runs,3fails.
Build Cloe full on shield runes, while she currently only has 26k hp. didnt max the shield runes yet since some of them are only 4 *
Takes that team round 3min30 2 clear gb 10.
Started playing in Jan18
little change: changed from kro 2 shannon, safer runs.
Let them do 20+ runs, no wipe. duration around 4 mins.
Got myself a month ago frost phoenix ( with rages runes from necro 10 achievement), but the gb10 runs are still better with lapis lol.
now i got my first homunculus, which i will keep on fire for db and necro. thinking if he fire homunculus might be useful or if he´s just gonna be killed by the boss^^
What is the best team I can do with this mons:
Veromos, Belladeon, Bernard, Lapis, Megan, Briand, Ludo, Kamiya and Imesety
Thanks
Hey xZiel!
Try Vero Bella Bernard Megan Lapis.

Hi DK,
I am not sure If it is discussed in this series but please make sure to mention the setting to auto select Boss, Tower 1, Tower 2 and when to set what for more reliable runs in most of the content. I just found it (probably should have looked sooner but its buried in the settings) .
Love your guides Just hit the stat milestone for this chapter which feels good. Working on Sig Fusion now.
Ranquest
Right now I have my vero Awakened and rune with amazing violent runes and am using the recommended team minus darion because i have not been able to pick him up. As my damage dealer i have Wind Barbaric king, is that a good option? also i have been farming B8 for better runes for shannon and WBK.
I’m working on getting my stats better but how do you get passed gb9. I know its fire if I buff my stats to gb10 status can I do gb9. Or cause its fire and Shannon and Bernard are wind will it be harder than being able auto gb10.
So the only mon I can really hit that speed cap for is Veromos. I just don’t have the (2)Speed runes necessary to hit 180 or so on Shannon, Belladeon, etc. Can I make up for it with more HP and DEF? A ton more? xD
not really…my vero spd only have about 170s..bella, shannon and bernard spd are around 160-170s..if u dont hav a good rune, just use it for a moment that had spd (2), hp% (4), hp% (6) for each monster..hp at least 15-16k..vero leader can make up for it if 1 of ur mons only can cap it at 13 or 14k..its just it ll take a lil bit more time..around 3 to 5 min auto
my 2nd acc still have 50-50% to won gb10, my asked my friend who is senior in my guild, so i already have vero (40), bella (40), ritesh (40) …but my bernard (with 16k hp and 650def) and shannon still fallen early even though i use a exact rune, but why my shannon had a different total hp(its only 13k max) than my shannon on my 1st acc, who can had a 170+ spd & 18k hp..and so i got a *5 orochi a weeks ago..and i asked my friend if i can use it to be a DD for GB10, he said its fine, and go for swift+blade spd/crit r or d/hp% instead of fatal/rage+blade ..is it ok? my orochi is at 174 spd right now with a total dmg around 9k (500+400dmg) with 50% cr and 90% cd.. and i’ll *6 orochi if no more better choice for dd at this time.. is it good if i go with:
vero (L) , bella, ritesh, orochi, bernard, shannon/darion … i have megan to still at *5 and have a 16k total hp..but im confused..is it better to go with shannon, darion or megan
Hey for my Bernard and Veromos on Swift/Energy build for both, can i replace HP% on 4th slot with DEF% instead, because i keep getting DEF% on 4th slot instead of HP%
Yup! Def% works too. Just go for the rune with more speed
No idea how you’ve achieved those stats farming gb 8 which drops blue 5star runes at best… it’s like you need hp, def, speed and hp subs at ALL runes which is unobtainable.
Hello. Is Shimitae a great choice for my team GB10? My team is Vero Bella Imesety Bernard and Hraesvelg.
And can I use imesety instead of spectra for TOA?
Hi!
I’m not able to perform gb10 yet, but it is currently my main goal, and I’m farming runes in gb7, have bella and vero 6*. My problem is that I reach the recommended stats with everyone but bernard and shannon, specially in spd and acc. Is there anything else I can do instead of keep farming runes until some good ones come out?
Thanks for the help and for the guide 🙂
Great guide, please keep them coming!
What’s the rare rune grade? Purple?
Blue. The Purple one is Hero 🙂
I love the new rune layout! Is the HP shown with or without Veromos HP buff?
My Bernard is the only mon in my core team without maxed skillups, should I farm SDs for him or for Spectra for later ToA use?
Thats without Vero buff. Stats you see on directly on your monster.
Yes, farm bernard skillups on Tamor Desert and definitely build Spectra for ToA/DB10 🙂
I’ve posted like 10 times on different subjects and you haven’t replied once. I think it’s rude to apoligize for the late response to some people and then overlook some comments for no apparent reason. Please treat everyone the same and reply to the comments with usefull information. Thank you.
To be honest, there are a lot of comments here and one person can only respond to so many. I’m sorry that you feel entitled to a response from someone as if the only thing they are meant to do is sit at there computer and reply to comments. This is a free service that is being given to you and nothing is being asked of you in return. If you are really that angry about it, find a different place to ask for help. DK is not the only person who knows things about the game. I’m sure you can find the answer to your questions somewhere else too. Or you could trail and error much like what DK probably did instead of crying like a baby because someone didn’t hold your hand while you played the game.
That coming for someone that calls himself DK alter ego. Not even your own person. Maybe in love with him? If you’re too dumb to see that he purposedly skips comments and only replies to some of them, doing that several times and to the same people, then it’s your parents fault that didn’t send you to special needs school not mine. Not turn off you pc and go take your pills boy.
Hi DK, I am able to consistently do GB 10 with the base team (Vero 6*, Bella 6*, Darion 6*, Shannon 5* and Bernard 5*)
Can you please suggest a way to up my speed.
Other monsters I have, Lushen 6*, Chasun 5*, Jamire 5* and Raviti 4*
What would you suggest?
Thanks
Hi DK, thanks for the guide.
I’ve tweaked my runes and i have everything according to the requirements (plus Vero 6* and soon Bella) except for shannon’s health because i don’t have a health % despair or energy rune for slot 6. Everything is according to the table so i can farm GB10 now although my runs take 4min.
My question is on how to improve. I have Megan, Chasun, Lushen, Teshar and Shimitae. I also have all the monsters needed for the Sigmarus fusion. Can I exchange anything there to make my team even more reliable and faster? I was thinking on Megan for Shannon and Sig for Darion (also already preparing for DB10). But i would like to hear what you think. Also if you can give some rune advices in case you do tell me to switch some monsters that would be great.
Thanks in advance for the help!
you wanted my name, well congrats you got it. Replying to this one since replies are disabled on the other one. You see the message you just left? It was constructive and not hostile. I called myself alter ego because if I owned this site and decided to give a free service to people I would ignore those kind of comments too instead of replying. wouldn’t be worth the time. Did you even go back and check the comments? Two of them that I saw were the exact same questions that had already been asked. I also saw 2 that did have a response. I also highly doubt he is purposely skipping specific people. I’ve had my comments skipped before. And had them responded to late, but I would never attack someone because I felt like I deserve an immediate answer. Sorry that you also think that the commenter I was actually talking to SHOULD indeed feel entitled to something. This is a public form and you really shouldn’t expect one person to cater to every person who visits the site. DK isn’t the only person that can answer the question and this isn’t the only place that has those answers. But I’ll go “take my pills” and “turn off my pc” as soon as you agree to wake up from the fantasy that you have in your head that one person can and should spend all of there time answering questions (for free) from everyone for a service that they created t o help new players or players who might be stuck. He honestly doesn’t need to answer anything that isn’t directly related to the guide but does anyway. But whatever, no point in arguing. Guess I’ll just shake my head silently next time I see someone complaining for no reason on someone else’s comment.
You have to much time and not enough beating in you. Just grow up kid, or just ask DK to adopt since you obviously don’t have any love in your life, or you wouldn’t be here defending what wasn’t an attack even to begin with. Like I said, internet policemen nowadays like to pick fights just for the sake of fighting. The fact and bottom of this all is that you were the one who started the attack and fight. Instead of patrolling the internet and trying to make excuses to get attention, just get a life, a real one kid.
And you said “you wanted my name, well congrats you got it.”. I didn’t want or ask for it, but you gave it anyways (and by your name you just confirmed that you’re not at fault here, but your parents that couldn’t even give you a human name), like you said that I attacked or was upset for one time (he hasn’t replied in many ocasions in various posts, but apparently you can’t read), or that I was being an ass. All this things you twisted or came up with just to get a fight and to get attention. You got the attention, but not the love that you so desperatly seek. Just go to your room and crouch in the corner until you’re old enough to get some sense in you and stop harrassing me.
hi dk! i´ve been waiting nfor this a loong time
what should i improve to do gb10? my monster as as follows
veremos 20k health, 1100 def, 181 sped , 56 acuarccy (not maxed
bernard ( swift focus) 16k health, 750 def , 161 speed 41%precision
bella (sfwift energy)19 k health, 167 speed 14%precision
shannon ( dispair energy 14 k health , 154 speed , 26%
lushen 14k health, 2200 atk, 600 def , 120 speed, 50 ct and 130 cd
a friend told me to replace bernard runes with energy and switch focus runes to belladeon, change shannon to dswift from dispair
i can do autogb10 with a 50% eventho ught my stats are simila to yours
what should i improve?
i also have like 12 sitting 6* runes with the stats i need and hero, BUT bad substats like resistance, flath health or flat defense (i want them for belladeo) should i replace his current 5* runes with desired subtats like presicion and vel for a 6* rune
hi ag siegfred! sorry for the late response.
the 5* rune is better with recommended stats compared to 6* rune with undesired stats.
I think the problem is you are running lushen. I dont see a reason why you would try to speed up if you are just with 50% rate wins. Try bringing Darion instead of Lushen, Darion passive will give you far more protection (20% less damage), additionaly, Darion is pretty tanky himself and can do a good amount of damage. More important then speed runs are the sucess rate, aim for it, when you archieve 100% or close to it, gradually try to improve speed with other monsters, as you get better runes (from Giant and Dragon eventually)
a have a lower winrate with darion, lushen clear stages from1 to 4 pretty easly,.
Can you farm DB8 atm? you need to put some accuracy on bella and shannon, like i said accu is one of the keys to successful runs. also your speed tuning should result to Bernard > Bella/Shannon > Veromos > Lushen. If it is really hard, I would suggest to farm GB8 for a week and spend some reliable runs there to get desired stats.
Hello. Thank you for you guide. I do GB10 in 3 min with veromos (6*) Bella (6*) shannon bernard and haersvelg (6*).
Can i use sigmarus (6*) to speed up my team? And what monster i have to replace?
Other question. For db10 which team can i use. I have vero bella sigma megan chilling victor spectra and barretta.?
Hi DK, tks for your help before, I can do gb10 now but with low rate succeed. I still need alot of time to upgrade runes. I got wind paladin( actually 2 wind paladin) and wind chimera from mystical scrolls. Can I use them on gb10? And recommend runes too. Thank you!
Hi Bryan.
Use Lagmaron in place of Darion. Make sure he is 6* and max skilled. This will assure you of faster runs compared to Darion. 🙂
PS: make sure the stats for other monsters are met before you replace Darion.
Tks DK! I have just read the changelog of next patch and I have an idea that I think the safety and fastest way for me now: I going to use ahman instead of darion because his 3rd skill will be buffed in next patch- heal 20% his max hp, and I dont have good runes for lagmaron and I cant max up skill now. Ahman is easy to runes up. How do you think about that? Is it a good choice? When I clearly auto gb10 for a time with ahman I will use lagmaron for my speed team.
Finally, are u going to make another guide, about db10,nb10 or speed team for gb10? That will be awsome.
Ahman is actually great if you can put in consistent healing from crit (kinda hard but if you have the runes then why not) we still have to test its viability for DB10 post-update, so I think until we can make a conclusion about it he will stay as a 5*.
Yes, I will continue the step-by-step guide until DB10, NB10, Speed runs and Raids 🙂
Hi Elisola.
Sigmarus (L), Veromos, Belladeon, Hraesvelg, Bernard. It should speed up your run at by a minute. Later replace bernard for another damage dealer to target an average of 1:40-2:00 run.
For DB10, Sigmarus (L), Veromos, Megan, Spectra, Belladeon. Make sure Bella, Spectra and Megan have 55% Accuracy
GLHF 🙂
