Maximizing Battle Power (BP) is key for content like Tide and Guild Wars/GvG. Higher BP means stronger Demon Soldiers and deeper Tide progression.
⚡ Quick Checklist: Hero BP Optimization
- Pick Your Content
- Tide → Optimize squad in this order: Tacticians → Fighters → Marksmen → Mages → Defenders → Healers.
- Guild Wars/GvG → Focus on your top 5 heroes, prioritizing Lords.
- Gear Optimization
- Use Quick Equip as a starting point.
- DPS → Wicked Vengeance + Ageless Wrath.
- Healers → Light Grace + Invigoration / Wings of Grace.
- Defenders → Astral Guardian + Tempered Will.
- Lower develop accounts may see T2 gear.
- Manually compare each slot → check exclusives gear pieces and faction exclusive rings.
- Broken sets are fine.
- Artifacts
- Fighters → Wailing Skull.
- Others → Highest-level artifact (check exclusives, they out-BP normal artifacts if highly leveled).
- Resource Check
- Use Legendary Crystals to skill/awaken heroes when pushing BP.
- Always compare normal vs exclusive gear/artifacts before locking in.
👉 Repeat for each hero until your whole squad is fully optimized.
📝 Full Hero BP Optimization Guide
🌊 Optimizing BP for Tide
- Focus is raw BP, not perfect gear stats.
- Tide Rewards:
- Level 160 = Volka Soulstones
- Level 200 = Init Soulstones
- Optimize heroes in this order: Tacticians → Fighters → Marksmen → Mages → Defenders → Healers.
🏰 Optimizing BP for Guild Wars / GvG
- Select your top 5 heroes – focus on highly awakened heroes.
- Lords vs Legendaries:
- If a normal legendary projects under ~7,000 BP vs your Lord, pick the Lord.
- Lords bring higher BP into Demon Soldier affiliation and gain an ~18% stat bonus on demon soldier affiliation.
- Do a quick test at your Demon Soldier affiliation interface. After you click auto-affiliate, is your Lord listed first? If so, prioritize Lord.
- Consider Legendary Crystals to skill key heroes.
⚙️ Gear Optimization Process
- Make all gear available.
- Quick Equip:
- DPS → Wicked Vengeance + Ageless Wrath
- Healers → Light Grace + Invigoration / Wings of Grace
- Defenders → Astral Guardian + Tempered Will/Unshaken Will
- Less developed accounts may see T2 gear auto-selected.**Not all heroes are coded the same: For example, Elowyn will be auto equipped with Light’s Grace and Invigoration, while Eunomia will be auto equipped with Wicked Vengeance and Ageless Wrath. Yes, Eunomia will have higher battle power in Ageless Wrath set**
- Manual Comparison:
- Left side (weapon, breastplate): compare against all set pieces & exclusives.
- Right side (bangle, amulet, ring): check exclusives, faction rings, and other sets (Cataclysm, Hell’s Lament, Soulbound Arcana, Infernal Roar).
- Broken sets are fine for BP.
📜 Artifact Optimization
- Fighters: Wailing Skull
- Others: Highest-level normal artifact
- Exclusives: Compare your partially leveled to your normal artifacts. They often out-BP normal artifacts (e.g., Beelzebub’s exclusive at +19 and above beats Tear of Twilight).
✅ Final Takeaways
- Tide: Optimize by role priority (Tacticians → Fighter → Marksman → Mage → Defender → Healer).
- Guild Wars/GvG: Focus on your top 5 heroes, leaning into Lords.
- Gear: Quick Equip → Manual check → Hero & Faction Exclusives matter (substats dependent).
- Artifacts: Highest-level or exclusive.
- Don’t worry about broken sets. BP optimization is about numbers, not battle performance.
