Infinite Magicraid: Early Resource Mistakes and Traps to Avoid

To avoid stalling your account during weeks 1 and 2 of Infinite Magicraid, stop spending summon runes on standard banners, hold your Legendary Skill Marks for a single primary damage carry, and sell gear pieces that roll flat main stats on boots, chests, and rings. Progression bottlenecks in the early game almost always stem from spreading rare upgrade materials across temporary champions instead of concentrating them into an Awakened 5 campaign carry.

Save Premium Runes for Summon Events

Never spend Excellent Runes or Supreme Runes outside of active Double Legend or Miracle Wish rate-up events. Rolling on standard banners mid-week yields base pull rates without milestone rewards or duplicate drops, significantly delaying your roster development.

Double Legend events provide the biggest early power spike: triggering your first legendary summon during the event grants an additional legendary champion for free. The only exception to holding your currency is day 1, where you should spend only the baseline runes required to field a functional starter team of epics. Once that initial team is assembled, hold all high-tier summon items.

Reserve Legendary Skill Marks for a Single Carry

Legendary Skill Marks are heavily time-gated by event schedules and monthly shop quotas, making them the tightest developmental bottleneck on your account. Never distribute legendary marks across utility champions or secondary supports.

Support heroes like Wim and Liz function reliably using Epic Skill Marks or no skill investment at all. Your Legendary Skill Marks should go entirely toward an elite damage dealer whose wave-clearing ability, damage scaling, or cooldown reductions carry your team through campaign stages. Feeding skill tomes to a temporary hero who gets benched in Hell difficulty permanently wastes account power, as extracting those marks later requires rare Hero Regression items.

Filter Out Flat Main Stats on Gear

Upgrading gear with flat Attack, Defense, or HP main stats on boots, chests, and rings drains millions of gold for negligible stat returns. Because champion base attributes scale exponentially through awakening tiers, percentage-based stats provide vastly superior bonuses at Awakened 3 and above.

Follow these gear rules before spending enhancement materials:

• Boots: Require Speed as the main stat for turn-meter buffers, debuffers, and wave clearers. Percentage Attack is viable only on burst damage dealers with high Speed substats.
• Chests and Rings: Prioritize ATK%, HP%, or DEF% based on the hero's stat scaling. Debuffers who need to land crowd control against dungeon bosses should run Effect Hit main stats.
• Flat Stat Filter: Immediately sell or discard any boots, chests, or rings featuring flat ATK, flat DEF, or flat HP as the primary stat, regardless of equipment rarity.
• Enhancement Limits: Cap transitional 4-star and 5-star equipment at +12. Upgrading suboptimal gear to +16 burns gold with steep failure rates for diminishing returns.

Equipment sets should come naturally from farming the Rum Dungeon and Dwarven Ruins rather than purchasing randomized gear chests.

Prioritize Skill Materials and Stamina in Shops

Join an active guild on day 1 to access daily Guild Boss reward chests and generate guild currency. Convert guild and trial currencies strictly into guaranteed skill resources, stamina, and summon items rather than equipment boxes.

• Dragon Tribe Shop: Purchase Legendary Skill Marks, Miracle Runes, and hero shards.
• Brave Trial and Arena Shops: Buy stamina packs, skill tomes, and duplicate hero copies to advance hero exclusives. Avoid cosmetic items and gear chests entirely.

Build Fodder from Basic Runes and Preserve Epics

Never sacrifice natural Epic or Legendary champions as promotion food to rank up other units. Epic champions are mandatory for tackling Faction Abyss, which requires broad faction depth to harvest talent materials, and balance patches frequently elevate underperforming epics into meta staples.

Instead, build your promotion pipeline using low-tier summons:

1. Open Basic Runes to pull green 2-star and blue 3-star units.
2. Level 2-star units and promote them to 3-star rank.
3. Promote those units to 4-star rank to serve as food for your core champions.

If you previously over-invested in a weak champion, hold your Hero Regression tokens until you summon a top-tier carry capable of clearing Hell campaign stages. Using a regression token refunds all experience, gold, awakening materials, and skill marks spent on that unit, allowing you to instantly max out your replacement carry.
