In Chapter 4 of our step-by-step guide, we’re going to focus on clearing Mt. White Ragon, Hard Mode of the previous stages, and monster progression. Our current mons are Lapis (Water Magic Knight), Sieq (Fire Hellhound), Elucia (Water Fairy), Roid (Wind Vagabond), Lucien (Light Elven Ranger), and Teon (Light Garuda).
Remember to power-up the acquired 3* set of Energy Runes from clearing Kabir Ruins and equip them on Roid and Teon.
Mt. White Ragon
Since this area consists of mostly Water elements, I want you to focus on Roid, Elucia, Teon, and Lapis. Roid will be your Damage Dealer (DD) while the rest will act as your tank and sustain units. Lets review them first:
- Lapis: Fatal/Energy
- Roid: Energy/Energy/Energy
- Teon: Energy/Energy/Energy
- Elucia: Fatal/Energy
Stage 1-6 should be easy to clear with the desired rune sets on your monsters. Stage 7 (Boss Stage) is quite challenging, where the boss (Water Phoenix) is accompanied with 2 Water Garudas. They have Resurge skill in which it can fully fill the boss’ Attack Bar (ATB) and give ATK buff. This could be a problematic situation for a potential team wipe. To counter this, ATK break the boss using Roid’s 2nd skill and stun/freeze it using Teon and Elucia’s 1st skill.
Mt. White Ragon has the following drops:
- Swift Runes: Grants +25% attack speed (requires 4 runes for a set, the increase is based on the monster’s base speed). You can put this on your Support/Utility/Buffer units or your Sieq since it scales damage based on SPD.
- Monsters: Sigmarus (Water Phoenix, 5*), Water Warbear (3*), Kunda (Water Yeti, 2*), Wind Garuda (2*), Sisroo (Water Harpu, 2*)
- Monster Drop – Wind Garuda, skill-up your Teon and Konamiya (Water Garuda)
After clearing Mt. White Ragon, you will be rewarded 30,000 Mana Stones and 30 Energy:
Hard Mode (Garen Forest, Mt. Siz, Kabir Ruins)
Your Main goal is to farm better runes in order to progress and clear the succeeding areas. Minimum Rune Grade drop is now 2* and highest of 4*.
Energy Requirement: 4 (Stage 1-6), 5 (Stage 7, Boss)
Energy Runes (Garen Forest) – Equip on Elucia, Teon, Roid.
Fatal Runes (Mt. Siz) – Equip on Lapis and Elucia.
Blade Runes (Kabir Ruins) – Equip on Lapis and Sieq.
*note: the stage number of the area determines which slot the rune occupies. Ex. Garen Forest Stage 3 drops Energy rune Slot 3. Boss stage drops all rune slots.
Garen Forest (Hard):
Team comp – Elucia (Leader), Sieq, Lapis, Roid
Clearing it should get Sieq and Roid to lvl 20. Evolve to 3* if you have two extra 2* mons sitting around.

Step-by-Step, Chapter 3: Kabir Ruins & Introduction to Cairos Dungeon
Hi! These guides are really efficient in terms of understanding basic game concepts and progression, so for that I thank you for publishing them! However, I am confused about one thing, and was hoping you could shed some light on the issue:
Your Sieq is runed with Swift/Energy, which I can accept seing as Sieq scales on speed. However, the runes seem to be powered up to +9, and according to the guide you are not supposed to rune up 1*-2* runes to that high, despite being the right property. My question is, are those 3*-4* runes? And if so, how did you acquire them? Mt. White Ragon Hard? And if so, were those runes farmed with reps, seing as the current PvE team should be unable to farm Mt. White Ragon Hard? Thank you in advance!
