Infinite Magicraid: Free LTE or Spirit Beast Selection Guide

Choose a Spirit Beast over a free Limited Time Event (LTE) hero in almost every situation. Spirit Beasts provide permanent, teamwide HP, Attack, and Defense increases alongside active combat skills to all five deployed heroes across Campaign, Guild Boss, Brave Pit, Arena, and Tower of Mark. Pick the free LTE hero only if taking that specific copy immediately activates an essential Exclusive milestone—such as Exclusive 1, 2, or 3—on an already invested core carry.

Spirit Beast vs. LTE Hero Selection

Unlocking a Spirit Beast bypasses months of gated fragment farming. Even at base unlock level, a Spirit Beast increases your team's baseline survivability and fires automated field abilities—such as shields, cleansing, or damage amplification—without requiring duplicate copies to function.

When to Select a Free LTE Hero Duplicate

Pick an LTE hero over a Spirit Beast only when the copy directly clears an account progression bottleneck by fulfilling specific conditions:

• Hitting an E1 or E2 breakpoint: Your account already relies on a core carry or turn-meter controller, and one duplicate activates a decisive mechanic like reset-on-kill effects, guaranteed debuffs, or bonus actions.
• Completing an E3 transformation: Your carry is currently at Exclusive 2, and this reward copy secures their final Exclusive tier for major damage multipliers, defense ignore, or self-sustain.
• You already own core Spirit Beasts: Your roster already has its essential defensive and offensive Spirit Beasts unlocked, making specialized hero synergies (such as bleed, burn, or poison teams) higher in relative priority.

A single base copy (E0) of an LTE hero rarely justifies passing on a Spirit Beast. An LTE champion requires five Legendary Dragon Eyes for skill mastery, five 5-star awakening foods, and specialized rune sets before contributing. If you lack the resources to build them immediately, or if the hero performs similarly to accessible units like Space or Guhana, leave them in favor of the beast.

Choosing the Right Spirit Beast Role

When selecting a Spirit Beast, pick an unowned beast that addresses your roster's main tactical weakness rather than taking marginal fragments to star up an existing one:

• Defensive Beasts (such as Panda): Prioritize defensive utility if your damage dealers die prematurely in prolonged Guild Boss runs, deep Hell campaign stages, or high Tower of Mark floors. Their reactive shields, damage reduction, and team cleansing lower the gear requirements needed for your support champions to keep the team alive.
• Offensive Beasts: Choose offensive utility if your roster already fields dependable defensive supports like Liz, Katherine, or Wim. Offensive beasts provide buff stripping, area vulnerability, and burst amplification to speed up dungeon farming and secure opening-round Arena kills.

Step-by-Step Decision Checklist

Follow these steps before locking in your reward:

1. Check Exclusive status: Do you own an active carry who is exactly one duplicate away from an E1, E2, or E3 power spike? If yes, take the LTE hero.
2. Audit Spirit Beast unlocks: Are you missing baseline defensive or offensive Spirit Beasts? If you lack core beast coverage, select the Spirit Beast.
3. Verify hero investment materials: Do you have the awakening food, skill scrolls, and rune sets ready to deploy an LTE hero today? If not, take the Spirit Beast to secure immediate teamwide stat gains.
