Recommended characters
Damagers – because Svarog and hands , called by him in the third phase, there are electric and wind vulnerabilities, it is better to choose heroes who own these elements as a main-DD. You can take a hero with fire damage for the role of a sub-dd.
Support – A Trailblazer with a Save Path is perfect here. This character will be able to protect the whole team and break through the vulnerabilities of most strong enemies in this World. March 7th and Cheetah is only worth picking up if you choose the Path of Memory for the challenge. Armor, Asta, and Tingyun are good support options, as they can both buff your damage dealer and reduce the durability of your opponents.
Healers – all healers available in the game are equally effective in this world, but if possible, you can use Bayla not only for healing, but also for breaking through Svarog's vulnerability.
The table below will indicate the features of some characters that are most suitable for this test.
< tr>| Character | Features |
|---|---|
Dan Heng | Svarog and the hands he summons have a wind vulnerability. Dan Heng will be able to effectively break through them and free captured allies. |
Sampo | Also able to weaken opponents with his element. Especially effective when choosing the Path of Nothingness. |
Serval | Due to its ability to deal electric damage to area, will be able to simultaneously weaken the boss and his assistants. |
Jing Yuan | A strong electro main-dd that will help you quickly deal with all the monsters in this challenge. |
Himeko | Since most enemies, including Svarog, have fire vulnerabilities, Himeko can become good damage dealer. |
Hook< /p> | More budget replacement for Himeko. Can also use Path of Nothingness effectively. |
Asta | Great buffer that can increase speed allies and weaken bosses. |

Optimal commands
When assembling a team, remember about the compatibility of characters. Don't neglect healers by trying to deal as much damage as possible. It is important not to forget about pumping characters within the squad. To pass the world, raise the level of the heroes to the maximum available at the moment, and also give them pumped cones and good relics. Note also the development of their footprints.
Recommended Units
| Main-DD | Sub-DD | Sub-DD/Support | Support | Path | Blessings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Serval | Asta |
Pioneer (fiery) or March 7 |
Natasha (Baylu) < /td> | Non-Being | None, Save |
Dan Heng |
Serval | Pathfinder (fiery) or March 7 (Cheetah) < /td> |
Natasha (Baylu) | Hunt | Hunt, Save |
Hook (Serval) |
Sampo | Pathfinder (fiery) or March 7 (Cheetah) |
Baylu (Natasha) | Non-existence | Non-existence, Preservation |
| < p>
Himeko (Hook) |
Asta |
Pathfinder (fire) or March 7 (Cheetah) or Tingyun |
Baylu (Natasha) | Hunting | Hunt, Oblivion, Save |
Jing Yuan |
Tingyun | Armor (Fiery Pathfinder, March 7) |
Natasha (Baylu) | Hunt | Hunt, Oblivion, Save |
The first two commands are F2P alternatives. In them, Serval and Dan Heng will weaken opponents, reducing their stamina, and the Pathfinder and the healer will increase the survivability of the squad.
The third team is based on inflicting periodic damage from Sampo and Serval. In this case, be sure to choose the Path of Nothingness, which will increase the effectiveness of the talents of these heroes, and a few blessings of Preservation will help your shieldmen better protect the entire squad.
The fourth team specializes in constantly dealing fire damage, which will quickly deplete Svarog's stamina, however, they are not able to penetrate the vulnerability of the hands caused by the boss. For this reason, Bayla, who has an electric element, is much better suited for the role of a healer.
The last squad is aimed at the maximum strengthening of Main-DD Jing Yuan. In it, Tingyun and Armor will not only buff him, but will also be able to take part in breaking through vulnerabilities.
Better Paths and Blessings
You can finish the test in this world on any Path. Your choice will primarily be determined by the assembled team. In general, we advise you to choose the Path of the Hunt or the Path of Nothingness. Their benefits and best blessings will be discussed below.
The Way of the Hunt
The blessings of this Path are primarily aimed at buffing your speed and crits, allowing you to deal more damage. The very resonance of the Path inflicts wind blows, which corresponds to the vulnerabilities of Svarog and his assistants.
The following is the order in which you should choose resonance formations:
- Resonance Shaping: Bow and Arrow. Using Path Resonance inflicts critical hits on enemies below 50% health, and restores 50% energy when an enemy is hit. This formation should be chosen first, as it increases the damage dealt by Resonance, and the energy recovery will allow you to use it more often.
- Resonance Shaping: Perfect Accuracy. Increases the energy limit for Resonance of the Path, which allows you to accumulate two applications at once, and the beginning of each ally's turn returns 3% of energy. Also allows you to deal damage more often with the selected Path.
- Resonance Shaping: Star Hunter. Gives buffs to your ally with the highest attack stat. You don't have to delay this Formation until the last, you can take it after getting the Bow and Arrow buff.
Below you can see the most useful blessings of this path:
- Imperishable Victory (enhanced): advances the action and strengthens the character after the destruction of the enemy.

- Emperor's Rule (Enhanced): Heroes in the party gain 12 tiers of Enhancement at the start of their turn.
- Adept's Bow (Enhanced): Using a Bonus Attack or Super ability gradually increases the number of tiers of Enhancement.
- Floating Mist: Successive hero actions increase attack power by 40%.
- Borisin Exorcism (enhanced): Every sixth turn, the current character's action moves forward by 100%.
- Battling an Old Enemy (Enhanced): Increases the Hero's Critical Damage for each % of Critical Hit Chance above 100% by 3% and for each level of Critical Buff you have by 0.2%.
- Favorable Location: Increases Crit . damage up to 30%.
- Thunder travels the ground: Enemy's turn is delayed by 20% when their stamina is depleted.
- Disastrous Constellation: At the end of the turn, the ally's action is moved forward by 8%.
- High Aspirations: The character's energy is restored by several points at the start of the turn.
- Life and Death: Increases critical hit chance by 11%
Path of Nothingness
Perfect for teams that play from dealing damage over time. Resonance of the Path imposes many statuses on opponents, thereby inflicting high damage.
Below is the card selection priority:
- Running Resonance: Fourfold Root of Doubt. Guarantees damage over time to the enemy and increases the duration of effects by 1 turn. This formation will not only deal more damage, but also restore more energy, and even heal with the appropriate blessings.
- Resonance Formation: Suffering and Sunshine. Using Resonance of the Path deals additional damage based on the number of damage over time effects inflicted on the enemy, and also reduces the recovery of their stamina.
- Resonance Generation: Outsider. Helps regenerate Path Resonance energy faster, but does not deal any additional damage.
< p>You can also check out some of the blessings that deserve special attention:
- Why hasn't everything disappeared yet? Trigerrite damage over time an additional time. Empowered effect deals 135% damage.
- Hell is Others (Boosted): When a Vulnerability is Penetrated on one target, all other enemies are penetrated by the same type of Vulnerability.
- Tragic Lecture: Periodic damage taken by the enemy is increased by 10%.
- Sense Doubt: Penetration effect on all characters can be increased up to 75%.
- Before Dawn: Dealing damage over time restores energy to one ally.
- Gift of Deceit: Dealing damage over time restores health to all allies .
General tips
When choosing blessings, always try to take the bonuses of the selected Path to get the maximum possible the number of Resonance Formations. If the necessary cards are not available, then choose the blessings of Abundance, Preservation. If you have Ice Elemental characters in your squad, you may find the Memory Path buffs useful.
At the forks, prioritize the battle zone, as you will be guaranteed to get a blessing, which can be crucial for getting Resonance Shaping. The event zone is too unpredictable: you can either get a useful blessing or curiosity, or lose a lot of HP or get into battle with strong opponents. In the recreation area, you can spend space fragments to get the missing 1* card.
Also take every opportunity to heal with destructible items or your healers' abilities, as elite enemies and the final boss can deal rather heavy damage that your weakened characters will not be able to survive, which will greatly complicate your path to victory.
How to defeat Svarog
The final part of the World 4 challenge will be the battle with the robot Svarog. It will consist of three phases. Below you can find out the features of each of them.
Phase 1
At the beginning, the boss summons automatons. Focus on Svarog, attacking the minions with area attacks only. Try not to use powerful attacks that require energy accumulation at the end of the phase, so as not to waste damage percentages. At the same time, on the Path of the Hunt, it is better to activate Resonance at the moment when you can definitely kill at least one enemy in order to restore 50% of energy.
Phase 2
Svarog summons more powerful Direwolf Automatons. You don't need to focus on them, unless they're targeting a low health character. All tips from the previous phase also remain relevant.
Phase 3
The Boss summons an Auxiliary Robot Arm that can grab your ally. During imprisonment, additional damage will be dealt to him, and any skills that affect the entire team will not be applied to the prisoner. The hero will only be freed when the automaton's stamina is used up. The hand has electrical, wind and quantum vulnerabilities. Focus your attacks on her. Try to destroy it before Svarog summons a new helper.
Closer to your total annihilation Svarog's attacks will become more aggressive, so try to use every opportunity to heal your heroes. So, gradually, you will definitely be able to reach a complete victory over the robot and get all the possible rewards.
