Hey GAM3R, if you’ve already explored our Ultimate Beginner’s Guide, you're one step closer to unlocking your full potential to master the game. Legendary: Heroes Unchained (LHU) is quickly becoming a must-play in the web3 gaming space, bringing together the best of hero-collector RPGs with challenging roguelike dungeons and intense PvP combat. This game isn’t just about gameplay—it’s about truly owning and shaping your NFT heroes, evolving them to fit your strategy and outplay your opponents.

LHU lets you jump into Dungeon Mode, where every run is a unique adventure, and Portal Mode, where you can face off against other players in epic battles. As you progress, you can collect artifacts for powerful advantages, and if you’re into teamwork, the guild system lets you take on massive challenges and earn exclusive rewards. With so many features, it can feel a bit overwhelming, but that’s where this guide comes in. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know to master the game and stay ahead of the competition. Let’s get started!

Play Dungeon for XP

The Dungeon Mode in LHU is one of the best ways to level up your heroes and earn valuable experience (XP). Each dungeon run is a roguelike adventure where you’ll face random encounters, challenging enemies, and strategic obstacles. Here’s how to maximize every dungeon run:

Choose the Right Heroes

Select heroes that balance offensive and defensive skills, as each dungeon will throw different enemy types your way. Keep in mind, you’re limited to your chosen 5 heroes until you either complete the dungeon or your whole team is wiped out. To boost your chances of a successful run, make sure your lineup includes a Tank to soak up damage, a Healer or Support to keep everyone going, and some solid DPS (Damage Per Second) heroes to take down enemies efficiently. This balanced team setup will give you the best shot at clearing each dungeon.

Collect XP Efficiently

Focus on completing each dungeon level to gain maximum XP. Remember, the deeper you go, the more challenging enemies get, but the XP rewards also increase significantly.

Seek Out Artifacts

As you progress, you’ll uncover artifacts that provide boosts to your heroes or alter combat mechanics. Artifacts can be game-changers, tipping a tough run in your favor, but watch out for curses! Some artifacts come with powerful boosts but also bring drawbacks that can make clearing the dungeon harder, or worse, stack up and lead to a complete team wipe.

Level up Heroes

Leveling up your heroes is crucial for staying competitive, especially when facing tougher dungeons and PvP battles. The more XP you earn, the faster your heroes level up, so be sure to jump into Dungeon Mode regularly to rack up those experience points. Each level boosts your heroes' core stats (magic, tech, strength, health, luck, and dexterity) making them stronger and better equipped for tougher fights. Plus, hitting certain levels unlocks new abilities or enhances existing ones, which opens up more ways to strategize and build a team that fits your style. 

How Elemental Affinity Works

In LHU, understanding elemental affinities is key to gaining the upper hand in battles. Each hero is tied to a specific elemental affinity, and attacking enemies that you have an affinity advantage over will deal bonus damage. It works similarly to how water can extinguish fire, if your hero is Water and you’re up against a Fire enemy, you’ll deal significantly more damage, while your enemy will deal less damage to you due to their weakness to Water. Mastering elemental affinities allows you to strategically target opponents and maximize your damage output while minimizing incoming attacks.

Earn PENTARC Shards to Collect Starter Heroes

PENTARC Shards are a key resource, allowing you to unlock Starter Heroes and build your team. You can earn PENTARC Shards as rewards by defeating bosses or completing dungeons, so the more dungeons you conquer, the more shards you'll collect. You can also grab them through daily quests and special events, which are often time-limited, so be sure to keep an eye on the event calendar.

Once you’ve gathered enough PENTARC Shards, you can use them to unlock some strong Starter Heroes. These heroes comes with unique abilities that you can level up and enhance, making them key additions to your team, whether you’re diving into PvE or PvP. The cost to mint PENTARC Shards increases each time you mint, meaning it will take longer to collect enough shards before you can open another Starter Pack.
