After weeks of farming GB10 and your clear time is stable at 95%+, it’s time to upgrade some of your high quality runes and speed up your GB10 runs!
How to know if you are ready for mid-tier GB10 teams (2-3 min clear time)?
- Your team can easily survive wave and boss attacks, outclassing the monsters with sufficient HP and DEF.
- Meeting all the stat requirements particularly SPD and Accuracy as shown on Chapter 12.
- Have at least Vero as 6*.
- Have a Damage Dealer to replace Darion.
- Glory buildings built and upgraded for additional stat bonuses (Sky Tribe Totem, Crystal Altar, Guardstone)
If you meet all these 5 requirements, let’s put on our afterburners and torch the Giant! 🙂
A run-through of our current lineup and clear time:
Line-up
| 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% |

Mid Tier GB10 Team Composition
Speeding up your runs with a good success rate translates to efficiency. You don’t want to get stuck and be contented with 4 minute runs because it delays your progression. Besides GB10 is only our 1st milestone, you need to be able to farm DB10 and NB10 in the future. The sooner the better.
They key to achieving it fast is to farm effectively in areas you can currently clear. One is GB10, another is Trial of Ascension (ToA), and Dragon’ Lair B8 (DB8). Having farmed GB10 for a while now, you already have acquired decent Swift and Despair runes. This will help you in clearing at least up to floor 70 of ToA. In addition, Veromos with ~170 SPD will cleanse the continuous damage faster from DB8 boss.
So how do we speed up your runs exactly? What units should you keep using and what units to replace? Let’s break down and compare.
| Current Team | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Veromos | Leader +33% HP, Cleanser, DoT, AOE stun, Decent damage |
| Belladeon | Sustain, ATB boost, DEF break, Buff Strip |
| Bernard | ATB increase, SPD buff, DEF break, ATK break, Decent damage |
| Shannon | ATK buff, DEF buff, AOE crowd control / Slow, Glancing hit |
| Darion | DEF break, ATK break, Damage reduction, Decent damage |
Now, let’s look back on the 1st indicator if you capable of running a mid-tier team. “your team can easily survive wave and boss attacks, outclassing the monsters with sufficient HP and DEF”. Can you see the hint?
It only makes sense to replace Darion for another monster capable of dealing more damage. Why not Vero? Belladeon? Bernard or Shannon? First, Veromos helps improve faster clear time via AOE stun against enemy waves and DoT on Boss. It’s AOE cleanse also helps you survive from the Crystal’s AOE DEF break.On the other hand Belladeon will be one of your DEF breakers, buff stripper and most importantly your healer. On advanced teams, Belladeon is replaced by another damage dealer to form a YOLO team and tank the damage while dealing enough damage to kill the boss first. This requires high quality runes, so for now let’s keep Belladeon in our team.
Another is Bernard, he will be your ATK and DEF breaker which is also seen on Darion’s skill kit but its ATB increase and SPD buff is still needed to always outspeed the enemy. Shannon is also essential because of the ATK buff she offers allowing more damage and faster wave clears. She can be replaced by another ATK buffer like Megan, Chasun or Galleon given that you won’t need the AOE slow debuff and glancing hit from Shannon.
Let’s take a look at our new line-up:
| Monster | Rune Set | Slot 2,4,6 | SPD | HP | DEF | Accuracy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Sigmarus |  /  | SPD or ATK% / ATK or CD% / ATK% or HP% | 110 | 15k | 700 | Non-Priority |
| Veromos | / or | SPD / HP% / HP% | 170 | 15k -> 19k | 700 -> 800 | 45% |
| Belladeon | / or | SPD / HP% / HP% or DEF% | 180 | 17k -> 19k | 800 -> 850 | 40% -> 45% |
| Bernard | / or | SPD / HP% / HP% | 190 -> 210 | 15k -> 17k | 700 -> 750 | 40% -> 45% |
Shannon or  Megan | or / / | SPD / HP% / HP% | 180 -> 190 | 15k -> 17k | 650 -> 700 | 40% -> 45% |
I used Sigmarus as the damage dealer to show that you can still progress using farmable units. Plus, he is a key unit for DB10! So I’m already telling you that Sigmarus is a good option as your next 6*. If you are lucky enough to get good damage dealers like Lushen, Taor, Charlotte, you are free to use them instead. Just take note that the new minimum HP requirement for Wind units are 17k and Non-wind are 19k.
GB10 Run
| Remarks | |
|---|---|
| Wave 1: | Turn order: Bernard > Megan > Belladeon > Veromos > Sigmarus. |
| Wave 2: | Entering wave 2 on a faster pace, the 3 golems and 2 crystals are not even a threat against you. |
| Wave 3: | Around 50 seconds in to wave 3, Belladeon DEF breaks the mini boss and the rest is history. Sigmarus showing his heavy damage and Veromos/Megan helping out with the DOTs. |
| Wave 4: | Similar situation to wave 2, you can easily clear this stage with full HP entering the boss stage. |
| Boss: | Exactly 2 minutes in, Bernard will either use Tailwind to buff your team or Body slam to apply debuffs. With DOTs kicking in from Veromos and Megan, the boss barely makes 2 turns and clearing the stage around 2min 30sec mark. |
Full Video of Auto-runs:
1st team: Sigmarus (L), Veromos, Bernard, Belladeon, Megan
2nd team: Sigmarus (L), Veromos, Bernard, Belladeon, Shannon
3rd team: Sigmarus (L), Veromos, Bernard, Belladeon, Galleon
Trial of Ascension (ToA) 70F
Using your new GB10 core team and their current stats, we can now clear ToA 70. Gz on getting a Devilmon! 🙂
- Full-auto on stages 1-69. Semi-auto on stage 70 (depending on ToA season)
- Rotation of Veromos, Sigmarus, Belladeon, Lapis, Bernard, Shannon, Megan and Darion.
- Veromos and Sigmarus as 6*, other support units can survive as 5*.
Dragon’s Lair B8 (DB8)
With Sigmarus in action we can now clear DB8 faster. Farming Dragon’s Lair allows us to get Focus runes to achieve higher accuracy on our monsters. We can also get Violent runes here in preparation for Necropolis.
*Note: this is using your new GB10 lineup with same stats.
Game Progression Guide

Hi! Tks for your guide, my account grow up so far now.
I have a question: i want build speed team g10, what team i should choose?
My available monsters:
+ 6*: Lushen , Galleon, Wind& water twins, Taor, Theomar
+ 5*: Arang, Wind Barbaric King, another Lushen
So what monsters should i choose to focus? Because the new crafting update, i want use monster that can be use in raid beast too.
sorry about my bad English.
Thank you!
Can any of these monsters could be replaced with Jamire and/or Chasun?
im newbie and my account is 20 day long, lucky for me, i found this guides in day 2 and today i finish my 6 star veromous with clear GB10 achieve, so i can say as free player you can reach stage 14 in less than 2-3 month, just make sure you stay close with this guides and save your gem for energy refill.
Thks you bro, your guide is perfect for newbie
If I’m at 100% on GB10 using a well-runed kickstart (Vero, Bella, Darion, Shannon, Bernard) what’s the benefit of building Sig before a TOA team? Sig’s a big lift so why not get the TOA awards (including legendary scrolls) sooner? Worst case scenario, I have to come back to Sig before DB10. Best case scenario, I get a lucky nat 5 from a TOA run and delay Sig “indefinitely”. P.S. my GB10 team seems to run DB8 reliably so I can farm focus runes without Sig too.
Sig will help you to speed up a lot progression within the game. She is a really good Nuker and is useful in GB10, TOA, and DB10. Plus she will speed up your teams runs considerably which will also allow you to progress farther into the game 🙂
Hi guys ! I wanna know, can i use Asima/Hell Lady Light For try GB 10 ?
Veromos 6 stars
Shannon 5 stars
Bella 5 Stars or Megan 5 stars
Bernard 5 Stars
Asima 5 Stars ?
I need other 6 stars ? Ty for ur help !
about how long will it take to progress through the guide from 1 to 14?
You will start at the first guide at level one, and you will hit 14 about 3-6 months after hitting level 50.
From,
TeaJay
My GB10 team consists of Sigmarus (L), Vero, Bella, Lushen and Shannon, which gives me around 2 and a half minutes on average, and 1:57 at best. I tried to replace Shannon with Bernard but the turn order in the boss stage kills the entire team, like when Bernard’s Tailwind makes Vero take an early turn, then he doesn’t cleanse the def break in time before the giant attacks the entire team. My other alternatives for Shannon are:
Mantura,
Orochi (not built),
Lapis,
Theo (poor build),
Chasun (getting there…),
another Lushen (not built),
Seara (poor build),
Megan,
Ahman (not built),
Shimitae (not built),
Sophia (poor build),
Julie,
Barque (not built),
Luer (not built),
Ariel,
Taurus (not built).
I wanna make them at least 1-2 mins, but I don’t have a Galleon.
The only six stars from what was listed are Sigmarus, Vero, Bella and Lushen. What should I do next if I want faster runs while focusing on building a DB10 team and completing TOA at the same time (I’ve only completed up to TOAn 98)?
Hey Mykee! Try out this team:
Sigmarus/Theo (L) (6 starred)
Veromos (6 starred)
Belladeon (6 starred)
Bernard/Lushen (Bernard for safety, Lushen for speed) (5 starred)
Shannon/Megan/Galleon (Shannon for safety, Galleon for speed, and Megan for a mix of speed and safety) (5 starred)
When you transition into a speed team, try out this:
Sigmarus (L) (6 starred)
Lushen (6 starred)
Lushen (5 or 6 starred)
Tarq (5 starred) (I recommend building Tarq for speed DB10 anyway, so you might as well build him now.)
Megan/Galleon (5 starred) (Megan for safety, Galleon for speed)
I hope this was helpful! Good luck!

can someone help me make a faster gb10 team and if possible and db10 team.
I have:
– Desert Queen
– Hell Lady
– Galleon
– Lapis, Bernard, Shannon, Veromos, Darion, Belladeon
– Megan
– Water Pierret
– Water Undine
– Wind Boomerang
– Fire Phantom Thief
– Wind Joker
– Wind Harg
– Wind Brownie
– Wind Magic Knight
– Plenty of other nat 3* (including Franky, Serpent, Bounty Hunter, Harg, Taoist, Epikion Priest, etc…)
you have the mons for a good team, you can use lushen/wind joker as the lead but only if you have good hp and def on the rest of the team. for the rest you should go Lushen or vermos as the lead, with bella, megan and bernard. yor megan WILL need to have her 3rd skill maxed tho or she will die quickly.
for a DB10 team you can use the water pierret, vermos, bella, megan, bernard. the only issue youll have is youll have to make bernard really tanky, high spd, hp and def since he will be targeted first as he is wind, if possible try and get spectra/fire griffon.
I have fire griffon, forgot to mention him too.
I have other sd mons, I haven’t summoned like
Lucasha
Light salamander
Fire Griffon
Wind ninja
Amazon
Light Cow girl
this is an amazing guide. Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward for continue (next chapters). Especially DB10 and DB10 optimization
Bella , sig , vero , lushen, megan is my current team . Should i replace vero with hwa? Does it make the run more reliable and faster What stats does hwa need .
Hi all,
Nice guide. THANKS a lot 😀
But YOU FORGOT the stats about SIGMARUS (Mini ATK, Crit Rates, Cri Dmg) to each timer)… that’s change a lot. Thanks.
What mon is better to replace Sigmarus and Shannon with?
I have this options:
Hemos
Copper
Racuni
Chilling
Emma
Galleon
Chasun
Su
Megan
Rina
Taurus
Aquila
Briand
Julien
tks for help
Shannon can be replaced by Megan and Sigmarus can be replaced by a decent damage dealer of almost any kind. Best would be something that helps break waves quickly, but it will slow down your team.
Sigmarus is fusable, though, and this guide series does tell you to work on him because he’s so useful in B10 Caiross as a damage dealer.
honestly you should go with another strong water damage dealer, or a wind damage dealer.
Hi can I please get help on a faster, but also high success rate team.
My monsters are : 6* Vero, Chasun, Bella, Lushen, Darion and Akhamamir
5* Megan, Sigmarus(unawakened), Chow, Megan, Shannon, Jamire,Bernard
4* Raviti, Lyn
Can you guys please give a suggestion for a team/teams?
Thanks
What should I replace Darion with? I have a lot of options
Lapis
Morris
Pang
Chilling
Aegir
Logan
Barque
I really want to do Aegir because he can be used in db10 as well but I don’t know if something like Logan is a better canidate
I have build Aegir for db10 and he is not as good as he seems.
I would build Lapis or Chilling because these to are really good at db10 and other content of the game.
so i’m able to do gb10, db10, toa. whats my next progression? nb10? toah? rift/raid? arena? or making a speed team for gb and db
Speed team for gb10 and db10
can you give guide on how to use taor on gb10 line up?
just replace sigmarus in the line up with taor. A fully skilled taor will be less useful than a fully skilled sigmarus. But, just replace sigmarus with taor and you are set. I personally use Vero (L), Lushen, Taor, Bernard, Galleon. I dont have them speed tuned to make the runs 100% successful, but it finishes generally around 1:45
Please keep making these! Absolutely invaluable to new players who don’t want to spend too much money!
Hi. I want to begin to farm db10.
I have veromos belladeon woosa psamathe jamire hraesvelg megan sigmarus baretta mav spectra vigor and mav
I think to use vero bella woosa for db10. For the 2 other I hesitate between spectra megan psamathe and vigor .
And for toa, baretta spectra bella woosa and jamire is a good team?
bella, vero, megan, sigmarus, and baretta if you are going for a face team in db10, and barretta, spectra, jamire, sigmarus, and megan for toa
Awesome job on these step-by-step guides DK. I’m really looking forward to the next one as I think they’ll be caught up to my current progress in the game. Even the previous ones have provided me with helpful tips though that have improved my overall game strategy.
Which is better damage dealer for GB10? Fei, Trevor, Julie or Garo?
Fei is awesome, but its better if full skilled
What are the Rune requirements to use Galleon instead of Shannon like you did in the video?
May i use lushen instead of vero?It is very hard to farm Vero.My lushen 14k hp,2k atk def 630
You can do GB10 without Vero. Demone King on youtube recommends it actually. He uses lapis in place of vero. Lushen would work fine as your dd. So Lapis Lushen Bernard Shannon Bella might work. Gonna need high hp to deal with being defense broke all the time.
when you put lapis first, i assume thats as a lead, she has a worse lead for dungeons than the lushen does, though for other content it could do well
hey! dk amazing guide! ( a LOT earlier than usual )
i runned my monster better so i can do gb 10 super well now thanks!
but now i have this questions
for toa:
current line up
veremos + baretta+ spectra (or lupinos) + shannon (or megan) + lushen )
who of those monsters i should be using? should i fuse sigmarus to replace lushen?
should i lvl 40 barreta?
stats for the monster for 70 strage
db 8
what should my line up be?
standard gb 10 line up? ( replacing shannon for megan)
I also have fire and wind lich and soha! ( waiting until next week to lvl up them to max 5]
misc monsters than i dont know if i should be using them]
racunni
dark werewolf
should i start to farm db8? or farmn gb 10 for 2 weeks
i also use my crystals for premmiun pacakge because i really dont have a lot of monsters! i started playing 2 months ago
just 7 nat 4 and 2 nat 5* but almost nothing for PVP
so my last question is, should i use crystall for reffils or 2 more premiun package?
current 6*
lapis + veremos + lushen + bella
only for refil, in your level u doesnt need to pay attention on PVP for u, u need to speed up your PVE content
You need to farm GB10 for a while to get good enough runes to do DB10. You can do DB10 with farmable monsters with full Giants Runes. You just need good runes. No Grindstones or enchants needed either. The farmable DB10 team is Vero(L), spectra, belladeon, sigmarus, megan.
Why Vero(L) if the Skill Leader of Sigmarus is better than Vero Skill Leader for dungeons?
Because Sigmarus gives %44 HP to allies in dungeons
