What to level, what to park
Level, in this order
- Summon Warhawk Ultimate Skill
- Hunting Skills Active Skill
- Wild Survival Passive Skill
- Spear Throw Auto Attack
Kesso's Ultimate Skill is Summon Warhawk, so level it first. Hunting Skills is next, because those two big spears hit hard. Then Wild Survival, with his Auto Attack last.
Tenacity can't be levelled: it unlocks at its star requirement and stays fixed.
Skill check
How much the squad loses if this one skill is left at level 1: win-rate points against strong squads, with the hero's lost damage in brackets. Each column is every hero built the way they usually are at that Sanctuary level. It only counts fights against other squads, so it's one part of the order above, not the whole story. The biggest in each column is in bold.
| Skill | Sanctuary 6 max Lv 2 | Sanctuary 20 max Lv 8 | Sanctuary 30 max Lv 30 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spear Throw | +1.1 (1% dmg) | +3.2 (7% dmg) | +3.5 (15% dmg) |
| Summon Warhawk | +0.9 (1% dmg) | +0.8 (3% dmg) | +0.9 (2% dmg) |
| Hunting Skills | +1.9 (2% dmg) | +5.4 (12% dmg) | +10.8 (38% dmg) |
| Wild Survival | +0.0 (0% dmg) | +0.0 (0% dmg) | +0.6 (1% dmg) |
Gear
Upgrade first: Weapon Gloves
For a Carry, upgrade Weapon and Gloves first (ATK, Crit Rate), then Chest and Boots. Normal gear isn't tied to a hero. Aim for UR in all four slots, strengthen to +60, then Promote.
Research that helps
- Hero tree, Warrior techs (Lab 5-21): ATK +15%, DMG +15% first, then HP +15%, DEF +15%. The cheapest big boost for this hero.
- Squad tree for the squad this hero fights in (Lab 9-13): ATK, DEF and HP +5% each, plus Physical DMG +5%.
- Hero tree, all-hero techs (Lab 23-24): ATK, DEF, HP and DMG +10% each for every hero.
- Offensive or Defensive Tactics (Lab 20-25): +30% ATK, DEF and HP in PvP. Offensive if you attack, Defensive if you mostly guard your city.
- Warrior Mastery (Lab 30, late game): Warrior ATK, HP and DEF +15% each, DMG +10%, and Synergy techs that grow with every Warrior hero you field.
Skip the monster-only techs (Blight Slayer, Boost RES) unless this squad hunts monsters.
