Infinite Magicraid Beginner Hero and Echo Selection Guide

When choosing your beginner hero and Echo in Infinite Magicraid, base your hero selection on your initial summon pulls and prioritize an offensive Echo that amplifies raw damage. If your roster already includes a capable damage carry, select a premier defensive support such as Wim or Liz. If your account lacks reliable wave clear, choose a direct damage or damage-over-time carry. Pair either choice with an Echo that provides flat Attack or Skill Damage percentage increases to power your primary carry toward Awakened 5 (A5).

Beginner Hero Selection: Support vs. Carry

Early-game progression in Infinite Magicraid centers on earning 3-star ratings across Campaign stages to acquire Excellent Runes, Supreme Runes, and skill materials. Your beginner hero pick should solve your team's immediate mechanical bottleneck.

When to Pick a Support (Wim or Liz)

If you pull a capable Legendary or high-tier Epic damage dealer from your opening summons, adding a second carry provides diminishing returns. Fragile damage dealers struggle to survive incoming enemy burst in later Campaign chapters and dungeon bosses.

• Wim: Generates team-wide shields based on his maximum HP and casts Defense buffs. He protects glass-cannon carries from being eliminated before taking a turn.
• Liz: Focuses on debuff cleansing, health recovery, and supplemental shielding. She sustains the team through encounters featuring heavy enemy crowd control and continuous damage.

Both heroes retain high utility into late-game content, including Hell Campaign, high-level Dungeons, and faction-restricted Tower of Mark stages.

When to Pick a Damage Carry

If your initial summons yield only utility or defensive units, choose a dedicated damage carry. You need multi-target burst or reliable damage-over-time (such as Bleed) to eliminate enemy waves before they whittle down your squad. A self-sufficient damage dealer prevents stalled Campaign progression and provides the clear speed necessary to farm leveling fodder efficiently.

Best Beginner Echo Priorities

Echoes grant stat multipliers and combat passives. Because early-game gear sets provide low baseline statistics, raw percentage gains from an Echo have an immediate impact on your clearing speed.

1. Attack Percentage: The most consistent starting choice for direct damage dealers. It increases standard attack damage and active skill scaling across all game modes.
2. Skill Damage Multipliers: Best suited for burst carries whose primary role is wiping waves on turn one using their Ultimate skill.
3. Critical Rate and Critical Damage: Viable only if your early equipment rolls already provide enough base Critical Rate to make the multiplier trigger consistently.
4. Defensive or Utility Echoes: Useful as an alternative if your carry's offense is already established or if your team dies to opening area-of-effect burst in advanced Campaign chapters and Dwarven Ruins.

Avoid beginner Echoes with restrictive trigger conditions, such as requirements for high Effect Resistance, specific crowd control effects, or long ramp-up timers. Straightforward stat boosts outperform conditional mechanics in early stages.

Empowering Your First A5 Milestone

A single Awakened 5 hero progresses an account much further than an entire team of Awakened 1 heroes. Your beginner hero and Echo choices must support building this primary anchor.

• Carry-first strategy: If your beginner pick is your primary carry, feed all available promotion fodder into that unit until they reach A5. Equip your offensive Echo directly to them to multiply their heightened base stats.
• Support-first strategy: If you chose Wim or Liz, place your offensive Echo on your separate primary carry. Equip your support with gear focused on HP, Defense, and Effect Resistance so their shields and heals keep the carry alive.
• Avoid spreading resources: Do not divide Skill Scrolls, potions, and fodder across multiple Epic heroes simultaneously. Concentrate your upgrades on one carry until they can reliably drag weaker food units through Campaign stages.
