Step-by-Step, Chapter 7: Road to Faimon Volcano, Fastest Way to Awaken Lapis and More Progression Guides

In Chapter 7 of our step-by-step guide, our focus is to make a reliable fodder farmer that can solo farm an area in Hard Mode. After using your 1st premium pack and realized RNG hates you (for not giving you good summons), we will use Lapis to farm Faimon Hard and evolve your Dungeon core monsters to 5* Max (Bernard, Shannon, Belladeon). For those of you who are blessed by Com2Us with OP monsters, you can also follow the farming process by equipping the desired runes for your fodder farmer. Check out the list here.

Since Lapis is a Water Type Monster, the best place to fodder farm is Faimon Volcano Stage 1 (Path). This process is necessary so you can transition into farming Giant’s Keep B7 after evolving your monsters to 5* and 6*. As you should know, GB5 only gives out a maximum of 5* grade runes while GB7 can give you a 6* grade which will give you the edge to safely farm GB10 soon. Being able to farm in Hard/Hell mode is a milestone to our goal which is GB10 Auto-mode.

Now, let’s go back to where we left last chapter. We finished Hydeni Ruins and opened a new area called Tamor Desert. From the name itself, the area consists of Fire and Wind monsters. Here’s the good news, remember that you farmed GB5 for almost a week right? Definitely your monsters have already improved in terms of rune quality and level. It will be very easy for you to clear this area including the next few. So you can throw almost any lineup to clear them!

Road to Faimon Volcano

Faimon Volcano is an infamous farming area for its high Exp and Mana compensation per Energy. It is also the ideal place to farm using Water-type fodder farmers like Lapis. Before that, we need to clear the prerequisite areas, Tamor Desert and Vrofagus Ruins.

Tamor Desert

This area consists of Wind and Fire type monsters. We don’t need specific counters to clear this area. Your monsters will just outclass the enemies so you can use any lineup. For example:

• Bernard: Swift/Energy or Focus
• Shannon: Swift/Energy or Focus
• Lapis: Fatal/Energy
• Belladeon: Swift/Energy

Just auto everything! *Chomp* *Chomp* *Chomp*

Tamor Desert monsters and drop info:

• Endure Runes: +20% Resistance increase per Endure set equipped (+60% Resistance with 3 sets).
• Monsters: Lukan (Wind Salamander), Serpent, Sandman, Salamander, Griffon
• Monster Drop: Wind Griffon (Skill-ups for Bernard), Wind Serpent (Skill-ups for Mantura), Wind Salamander, Wind Sandman

After clearing Tamor Desert, you will be rewarded with 4* Rare Fatal Runes:

Vrofagus Ruins

This area consists mostly of Fire type monsters. Same with Tamor Desert, just auto everything! *NomNomNom* Use the same monsters.

• Bernard: Swift/Energy or Focus
• Shannon: Swift/Energy or Focus
• Lapis: Fatal/Energy
• Belladeon: Swift/Energy

Vrofagus Ruins monsters and drop info:

• Shield Runes: +15% of HP as Ally Shield for 3 turns per set equipped. (+45% of HP with 3 sets).
• Monsters: Tagaros (Fire Inferno), Low Elemental, Elemental, High Elemental, Werewolf
• Monster Drop: Fire Inferno, Fire Werewolf (Skill-ups for Eshir and Jultan), High Elemental (Skill-ups for Kahli), Elemental, Low Elemental

After clearing Vrofagus Ruins, you will be rewarded with Energy x100 + EXP Booster 1 day:

Faimon Volcano

This area consists of Fire type on the first half, and Non-elemental on the last half. You might have some difficulty in clearing the last half but you do have your Friends Rep monsters right? 😉 Anyway, use the same lineup when you are feeling confident.

• Bernard: Swift/Energy or Focus
• Shannon: Swift/Energy or Focus
• Lapis: Fatal/Energy
• Belladeon: Swift/Energy

Faimon Volcano monsters and drop info:

• Revenge Runes: +15% chance to counterattack with 1st skill. (+45% chance with 3 sets).
• Monsters: Otherworldly Dragon (Boss), Hellhound, Inugami, Succubus, Turtle, Ice Beast, Taotie
• Monster Drop: Fire Inugami (Skill-ups for Raoq and Belladeon), Fire Hellhound (Skill-ups for Sieq, Tarq, and Shumar), Fire Salamander

After clearing Faimon Volcano, you will be rewarded with Light & Darkness Scroll x1:

Fastest Way to Awaken Lapis

Extensive farming on Hall of Water could be a little tedious. Monster Challenges Quests saves the day, you can actually collect a good amount of essences after meeting the requirements. Lets take a look:

Conquer 3F

Conquer 5F

Conquer 7F

Now you only have to farm 5 Essence of Magic (High) to awaken her!

Lapis as Fodder Farmer

After clearing Faimon Volcano, Go to Challenge -> Challenge -> III. Fast Leveling Strategy. Then clear Path (Normal) using only Lapis:

Collect Mystical Scroll Reward. Then clear Path (Normal) with 3 Monsters (Lvl 1) in Auto Mode using Lapis.

Collect Vampire Rune x4 and Revenge Rune x2.

Remember I told you to save Mana Stones for rune Power-ups? Equip the Rune Rewards to your Lapis and power-up slots 2/4/6 to +12. 1/3/5 to +9. This should require you a range of 300k~400k Mana Stones to complete.

Your Lapis stats should be similar to this:

Now you can enjoy solo farming Faimon Hard! Remember to pop up your x2 EXP and evolve your Dungeon Core Team to 5* Max.
