Basics and tips for Echo of Fantasy
Echo Keys
To unlock challenges, you will need Echo keys. One hero needs 2 keys to open levels of battle stages.
Each season of the Imaginarium requires you to fulfill a number of conditions to obtain the Keys of Echoes. During the first unlock, you will be given 2 additional keys for free.
You can keep no more than 4 Echo Keys on you at the same time, so do not forget to spend them on opening levels so that they do not burn in vain. Once you unlock a challenge level, you can complete it as many times as you want.
Characters
It won't work for you to pass tests for just anyone – you will need specific heroes, and they must meet the following conditions:
- Pumping level is not lower than 90.
- The hero's friendship level is from 8th and above.
For example, in the first season you will be able to use Jinn, Qi Qi, Diluca, Ning Guan or/and Kiraru.
Tests
During the challenge, you control your chosen character and complete special dungeons. Only with an excellent understanding of the characteristics of the chosen hero and outstanding gaming skills will you be able to overcome all the obstacles of the level. By achieving all goals in each stage, you will receive rewards.
When completing the objectives of the test, remember the special rules of each stage. For example, in one of them, all members of your team will gradually lose health, which is why they can easily die even without receiving damage from enemies. Therefore, it will be necessary to constantly heal them.
