What to level, what to park

Level, in this order

  1. Peerless Blade Ultimate Skill
  2. War God's Will Passive Skill
  3. Crimson Bloom Active Skill
  4. Skybreaker Slash Auto Attack

Marlena's Ultimate Skill is Peerless Blade. Focus on this first. Next is War God's Will, because it adds Energy damage to everything she does, so every other skill hits harder. Crimson Bloom follows, and her Auto Attack goes 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.

SkillSanctuary 6 max Lv 2Sanctuary 20 max Lv 8Sanctuary 30 max Lv 30

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

Energy DMG Mastery in her squad's tree; Warrior ATK/DMG techs.

  1. Hero tree, Warrior techs (Lab 5-21): ATK +15%, DMG +15% first, then HP +15%, DEF +15%. The cheapest big boost for this hero.
  2. Squad tree for the squad this hero fights in (Lab 9-13): ATK, DEF and HP +5% each, plus Energy DMG +5%.
  3. Hero tree, all-hero techs (Lab 23-24): ATK, DEF, HP and DMG +10% each for every hero.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
