The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin Day 1 Upgrade Priority Guide

To gain combat power quickly on Day 1 in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, concentrate your upgrade materials entirely on your primary damage carry before investing in the rest of your party. Spreading gold, enhancement stones, and skill books evenly across a four-hero roster exhausts early reserves and slows progression through story stat checks.

Weapon Enhancement and Limit Breaks

Your primary damage dealer's main weapon is your most impactful Day 1 upgrade. Weapons provide flat base attack, which serves as the foundation that active skill percentages, critical hits, and damage passives scale from.

• Main weapon leveling: Spend your enhancement ore on your lead carry's weapon first. Hold off on upgrading sub-weapons or weapons for secondary characters until your primary carry's weapon hits its current level cap.
• Limit breaking: Perform a limit break whenever your carry's weapon reaches a tier cap. Each limit break increases base attack scaling, improves weapon passives, and raises the weapon's level ceiling.
• Refinement: If you obtain duplicate copies of signature or high-rarity weapons, fuse them in the refinement interface to increase their unique skill multipliers.
• Low-tier gear cap: For temporary three-star or green rarity weapons, stop leveling at level 20. Investing further into early placeholder gear consumes refinement ore and gold that cannot be fully recovered.

Character Leveling and Ascension

Level your primary carry to each ascension milestone before spending experience scrolls on your supports. Ascension raises base health, defense, and attack while unlocking higher rank caps for active skills and potential nodes.

Once your carry reaches an ascension milestone, gather the required regional items and defeat the necessary world bosses to ascend immediately. Keep your off-field enablers and supports 10 to 15 levels below your carry during your first day. Early-game supports rely on utility skills, elemental reactions, and buffs rather than personal damage, so they do not require matched stat parity to function.

Active Skill Upgrades

Skill books represent a major early bottleneck. Because tomes are scarce, do not level every ability across your squad.

1. Primary active skill: Check your main carry's skill kit to determine their primary damage source. Raise this single active ability to its tier cap first.
2. Ultimate ability: Upgrade your carry's ultimate next to increase burst damage against dungeon bosses and elite encounters.
3. Basic attacks: Leave normal attacks unranked on characters who rely strictly on skill cooldowns and rotation bursts.
4. Support skills: On support characters, invest skill books exclusively into their core buff or healing ability. Do not spend early tomes on defensive passives or basic attacks for off-field units.

Memory Card Sets and Tuning

Memory cards provide percentage-based stat increases and set passives. Activating a 2-piece or 4-piece set bonus grants a significantly larger power boost than equipping higher-rarity cards that lack set synergy.

• Stat targets: Seek cards with offensive main stats—such as Attack Percentage or Elemental Damage—for your carry's slots.
• Card leveling: Enhance your carry's primary offensive cards to level 4 or level 8 to unlock their initial substat rolls.
• Backline investment: Leave defensive memory cards on support units unenhanced during Day 1 until your main carry has sufficient offensive stats to clear timed encounters.

Day 1 Progression Order

Avoid spending gold to enhance early story armor and accessories, as these pieces are quickly replaced by crafted gear and domain drops. Instead, follow this upgrade hierarchy to allocate your Day 1 resources effectively:
