Upgrade at Hertha (3) Blessings, increasing their stats in exchange for Cosmic Fragments. If you are not in the last recreation area before the boss, then in the dialogue with Gert you can choose random upgrades, purchase of curiosities, or some Space Fragments.
- Sometimes on the way will meet event zones or meeting areas, hiding rewards to choose from, battles with elite monsters that drop valuable Blessings.
- At the end of the passage, the boss of the World awaits. Defeat him.

swarm invasion
It is the first addition, the passage of which allows you to open the Path of Propagation and its Blessings for the subsequent use of new bonuses. It is a combat mode whose Dimensions are distributed in the form of a chessboard: the rooms for exploration are chosen by the Pathfinder personally, therefore, he can ignore special types of battle until the main zone with an elite enemy.

More details are given in a separate guide. How to complete all levels of Swarm Invasion.
Gold and gears
This is the second addition, the passage of which allows you to open the Path of Erudition and its Blessings for the subsequent use of new bonuses. Similarly, “Swarm Invasion” offers the opportunity to fight a powerful enemy, previously wandering between Dimensions and collecting certain positive bonuses that can help quickly deal with the enemy.

General tips for passing Worlds
Starting the passage of the Worlds for the first time, it is important to enlist the "support" of useful recommendations that will allow you to deal with both ordinary and more powerful enemies in the shortest possible time:
- Do not leave the squad unattended by the character Preservation Path or Path of Abundance. If the first zones of the Virtual Universe can be completed without additional support, then at subsequent levels of the event, the chance of success is gradually reduced. Opponents become stronger, and any heroes of the named Paths are the main basis for survival.
- In addition, it is important to remember the presence of characters Path of Nihility (impose negative effects on opponents) or Path of Harmony (impose positive statuses on allies). These heroes act as support for the main DPS character and use their personal abilities to increase his damage, and also help in the implementation of Blessings of their type, if others are unlucky.
- When choosing the first benefits give preference to Curiosities, not Blessings. In the initial stages and later, a well-chosen Curiosity (for example, “Scented Star Shard Lure” or “Record from beyond the sky”) can greatly simplify the passage of event zones.
- If before the first battle with an elite opponent it was not possible to collect the Blessings of the desired Path, it is recommended to complete the current passage and start new. In the initial zones, the absence of the ultimate ability of the Path is uncritical, but subsequently a small amount of the required Blessings will only bring you closer to a failed confrontation with the final boss of the World.
- If they are aimed at the successful passage of the World, not recommended to experiment with Curiosities (for example, with the "Galactic Lottery"), as well as ignore the "Battle Zones" in favor of the "Event Zones" or "Encounter Zones". Due to this approach, during the final fight with the boss, there is a high chance of running into a lack of required Blessings, which will make the battle slower. Thus, the probability increases that the enemy, due to the abundance of positive effects on himself in a certain turn, can get rid of the entire squad at once.
- In the Rest Zone, prioritize buffing Blessings in exchange for Cosmic Fragments.
- Remember: you can always replay a duel with the final boss or an elite opponent by simply exiting the game. Thus, upon re-entry, the battle will “restart”, which will allow you to approach the killing of the enemy with more conscious actions.

The recommended squad level is 35. This run already requires some preparation. Bosses have 2 HP bars, and one of them summons minions. Take heroes with Fire, Ice and Electric damage types, upgrade as much as possible light cones и Relics, as well as during the race, collect Resonance Path.
Availability Serval it’s a must in the team - her talent hits with Electric damage, which will allow you to get rid of the summoned minions, and at the same time deplete the stamina of the bosses. Reserve Natasha as a doctor.

The Trailblazer 
HertaWorld 3
Opening condition: completed the Mastering quest "Time doesn't wait my friend» and passed the world 2.
The recommended squad level is from 45. The boss is the Cheetah. If you're having trouble, use a strategy to Frozen. Cheetah, despite the resistance, can freeze. Be sure to upgrade the Ability Tree first to unlock Formation of resonance I. Please read the following sequence of steps carefully:
- Choose Path of Memory (Necessarily).
- Choose only Memory Cards when possible. Among them are "Original Difficulties" (important), "Unspeakable Shame" (most key), "Indelible" (the most key), "Restraint" (important), "Fuli" (important), "Innocence", "Cold Hatred" and other cards for bonuses from Freeze.
- Pump at Herta, first of all, the most key, and then important cards.
- When you have collected 6 Blessings of Memory, select Resonance Shaping "Repeat First Love" to use Path Resonance (active skill) more often.
The task of the deck is to call as soon as possible and often Frozen. The cards "Unspeakable Shame" and "Indelible" will help with this. When upgraded, they will reduce (cumulatively) Freeze resistance by 92%. Further, the Fuli card will additionally call Disintegration at a frost-prone target, dealing heavy damage. With such a deck, you can beat the Cheetah even with a non-level 40 team.
General tips for passing:
- Use Path Resonance to freeze the reinforcements that the Cheetah summons, and then hit them with Decay (if there is a Blessing "Fully»).
- If you choose another Path, focus on reinforcements: they hurt the attack and strengthen the boss. If you have attacking Resonances, use them after calling for reinforcements, but not before (hold if you see that the boss is low on HP). Minions come at the start of each of the Cheetah's 3 health phases.
- From the 2nd phase of the battle, the Cheetah summons a shield that blocks all elemental vulnerabilities: if possible, do not waste your ultimate abilities until this moment in order to deal maximum damage in a short period and knock down the shield faster. Even if the shield is activated, the Freeze and Decay effects are active, and the damage of all effects goes through the shield.
According to the heroes, the alignment is quite wide: take Welt, Tingyun as the main bundle. Add any hero with Ice damage to it (March 7, Herta) to summon Freeze, and Natasha. There are other options in the table.

|

Another strategy with a central damage dealer Clara look at the video:
World 4
Opening condition: completed the Mastering quest "Time doesn't wait my friendand completed World 3.
The recommended level is from 50. Use the same freeze strategy, without changing anything, only by picking up heroes for elemental vulnerabilities (Wind, Fire, Electric) and 1st Mandatory Ice Character to initiate Freeze.
Along the way, you will encounter elite enemies that are immune to Freeze: for example, frosty wanderer. He is easy to defeat without her by exploiting vulnerabilities and killing his minions. If there are no minions on the field, the Froststrider, when trying to eat them, will lower his defense.
Tips for defeating the boss:
- When fighting Svarog, try to quickly freeze the monsters he summons with Path Resonance and damage AoE with Serval attacks. Controlling Svarog's minions in all phases is a top priority.
- When Svarog moves to the next phase, all other robots, if they are present on the battlefield, will explode. In such a situation, if it was not possible to destroy the enemy reinforcements, but it is clear that the boss has a little left before the next HP/death bar, focus all the damage on him.
- Save the offensive Resonances of the Path so that you can use them at the beginning of each phase of Svarog against minions. In the 1st phase, the boss will summon 4 small robots, in the 2nd phase - especially strong Direwolf Automatons that can cause bleeding, and in the 3rd phase - arms that can grab allies, making them unable to walk.
- If the hand grabbed the character in the 3rd phase, it will release it after breaking through its vulnerability. Focus all your damage on her to wear down your stamina bar faster. After that, you should quickly kill the hand, not allowing it to linger on the field until the boss's next move. Otherwise, Svarog will launch it at one of the allies, causing great damage. Svarog summons hands throughout the phase.
The table below summarizes units for Memory and other Paths.

Check out the alternative strategy in the video:
World 5
Opening condition: completed the mission Exploration "Whirlpool of stars, insight is comingand completed World 4.
Recommended level - from 55. Kafka's buffs will not interfere with the use Freeze strategies (description in the passage of the World 3). Stack Freeze, causing Decay damage, and the boss will quickly fall despite 3 phases. As before, additionally control Kafka's minions with Path Resonance. The ideal of the walkthrough is to make Kafka practically incapable of attacking during all 3 phases. When the deck is fully upgraded to Freeze, this is doable.
General tips for defeating Kafka:
- Use characters that can remove debuffs and hypnosis (March 7 with Purification trail, Natasha with Calm trail, Armor). An alternative to this is to use Resonance Path of Abundance with Path Shaping: Anicca, which will remove debuffs to all allies. From the 1st phase, Kafka uses “Whisper of the Spirit”, subordinating 1 character from the party to himself and forcing him to attack allies, and from the 2nd phase he uses the “Hypnosis” ability on 2 allies, which must be removed before the activation of the move depicted in queue with spider icon. In the 3rd phase, "Hypnosis" will already be applied to 3 allies of the team. It is to counter these skills of Kafka that you need to have at least 1 hero capable of removing debuffs.
- The strategy through Abundance and the Hunt shows itself well, the main thing is to remove Kafka's debuffs in time with the help of Aniccha.
- Freezing also works great because Kafka is constantly summing up attack boost due to the Sorrow skill, which adds 1 stack to the attack after an ally takes Shock damage from her hits. In order to prevent her from accumulating a powerful buff and bring her to the 3rd phase with insufficiently strengthened attack, use the Memory Path and freeze so that she skips turns, as well as remove Shock from your allies with March 7, Natasha, Armor skills. The attack buff from Mourner is not removed by debuffs, so Pela's abilities won't help.
- The ability of the boss to constantly stack an attack every turn makes it clear that defensive and long-running paths like Preservation or Abundance are not the best choice. Requires Paths for quick damage or total control of Kafka's moves (Non-Being, Hunting, Memory).
- In the first phase, there will be 2 cloud knights in the company with the boss. It is better to deal with them quickly, but still the control of Kafka's moves should be a priority. In subsequent phases, the boss will not call for help.
To march on Kafka, 5⭐ heroes are also not needed. The F2P team will also cope with the strategy of frostbite of opponents. The main thing is to take 1 hero with ice damage, and the rest in accordance with Kafka's vulnerabilities: Physical, Windy, Imaginary.

On the video you can watch the passage through Abundance:
World 6
Opening condition: completed the mission Exploration "Whirlpool of stars, insight is comingand completed World 5.
The recommended level is 60. In case of problems with Kocolia, which has absolute resistance to Freeze, so the path of Memory is not suitable here. An alternative technique is as follows:
- Get Path of Abundance.
- Collect Blessings of Abundance to attack Resonance Shaping and powerful buffs.
Opulence buffs are offensive, defensive, and healing. In particular, try to take attacking Blessings of Abundance of any rarity, then upgrade them. The cumulative damage of upgraded attacking Blessings of Abundance is comparable to the cards of other Paths, only if Abundance is chosen, the team will receive an additional stat boost with healing.
Another method is based on Path of Nihility: Build Non-Existence cards, trying to build a deck and heroes for high periodic damage (key cards: Night beyond the fire Before dawn, Giving deceit). Kocolia's elemental vulnerabilities, with no resistance to Burning and Shock, will allow a multiple increase in periodic damage.
- Stack Kokoliya's "Suspicion" level with "Man in a Case", "Self-Deceit Cafe", and "Sensor Follower Burial" cards. Suspicion periodically increases damage, can stack up to level 99, and is not reset by Kokoliya when entering a new phase.
- Deal damage over time with Resonance and inflict Deprivation status with Resonance Shaping "Suffering and Sunshine" to reduce the stamina bar (white bar).
- Deal damage over time with attacks.
In the battle with Kokoliya, adhere to the following rules:
- In phase 1, quickly kill Kokoliya's ice spear.
- Try to get rid of the Armor when it spawns in Phase 2 as soon as possible. Armor buffs and the ability to remove debuffs will have a bad effect on the balance of power in battle.
- In the 3rd phase, continues to summon spears that deal damage in an area. Focus damage on them.
- Upon transitioning to the next phase, Kokoliya discards all debuffs except Suspicion. When playing from the Unbeing, don't use Resonate near the end of the boss's HP bar.
With regard to the team, the new strategy requires a change in formation. The tank will help a lot to delay damage, the roles of Healer, Support and DPS remain unchanged. Due to the large number of enemies in the last battle, characters with skills or area attacks will do.

World 7
Opening condition: completed the mission Exploration "Branching horns and tangled rootsand completed World 6.
Recommended level - from 61. The boss of the world is Black Deer of Plenty. The most efficient way is The Hunt, allowing you to focus on attacks Resonance of the Path: You need at least 2 Formations to quickly take out branches and elites summoned by the boss along the way.
Tips for completing World 7 based on the Hunt strategy:
- At the start of Phases 2 and 3, the Black Stag of Fertility calls for branches. Try to keep fire or ice ultimate abilities to get rid of them quickly.
- If you're sure you can kill the boss with Hunter and Resonance before his minions use most of their active skills, then ignore them.
- The main damage in battle can be inflicted not even by heroes, but by an active ability on "R". Make sure the skill tree is strong enough and try to collect more than 10 Blessings of the Hunt to max out Resonance of the Path and use it more than 2 times in a row in a battle.
- When leveling the ability of the Path of the Hunt, choose formations "Bow and arrows" и "Perfect Accuracy": Energy regeneration and being able to trigger an ability at least 2 times are key aspects of the Resonance damage strategy.
- To successfully cast Resonance more than twice in a row, attack with it when there are deer minions on the field. Destroying 1 small enemy with Resonance will instantly restore 50% of their energy thanks to the Bow and Arrow Formation.
- During Phase 2, the Deer focuses on restoring his health. Prevent him from doing this with his active ability and hunter attacks.
- In Phase 3, the Black Deer of Plenty will go on a rampage with powerful attacks. Try to get the team completely healthy by the beginning of the phase, and also provide them with shields if there is a representative of the Preservation Path in the squad.
In addition to hunting, it works great and Nihility: pumped Resonance, command for periodic damage (see table below), the most complete deck of blessings of the Unbeing with absolutely necessary "The Man in the Case" periodic damage and the status "Suspicion" set in, incinerating the boss's HP strip in a couple of moves.

World 8
Opening condition: completed the Reconstruction mission "Water flows down, earth subsides" and completed World 7.
Recommended level - from 61. The boss of the world is Yanqing. The most effective way is The Hunt, allowing you to deal wind damage with Path Resonance, increase the speed of the unit and increase outgoing damage.
Tips for completing World 8 based on the Hunt strategy:
- Resonance of the Path of the Hunt deals massive damage with the wind element, and the rest of the squad can supplement the remaining types of damage - electrical and imaginary.
- First of all, pump up the formation "Star Hunter" which allows an ally to attack instantly and gain an extra turn when killing an enemy - this will significantly increase the pace of the battle.
- Yanqing's most dangerous abilities have a 1-2 turn delay, so it's important to collect Hunt blessings, which increase speed characters to have turn advantage.
- Summoned swords pose the greatest danger, so keep AoE ultimates and the Path Resonance skill ready to activate them right away after conscription Floating blades (swords appear from phase 2).
- The faster you manage to destroy all the summoned blades, the sooner you can deal significant damage to Yanqing, so collect Path blessings that can increase damage.
- "Bow and arrows" – the second most effective formation, which allows you to deal additional damage from crits and restore half the energy if you manage to finish off one of the swords with this skill.
- Mass attacks will greatly help to quickly end the phase with the Floating Blades, so if you encounter curiosities, which improve the damage from the resonance of the Path, then take them first.
- The effectiveness of the Path of the Hunt depends on main damage dealers, so they should be maximally upgraded (light cone, relics, traces).
You can also use the Path of Joy or Non-existence: in the first case, it will be possible to significantly increase the damage of the squad if there are many heroes with counterattacks in it, and in the second, it will be possible to break through vulnerabilities through statuses "Shock" и "Weathering".

World 9
Opening condition: completed World 8 on any difficulty level.
The minimum recommended level is 61. There is a boss in the final dimension room Memory zone meme: Something to death, therefore the most comfortable way to participate in the test is Nihility. The buffs guarantee high periodic damage, and the source of the overlay is Path Resonance and heroes of the corresponding class.
Tips for completing World 9 using the Path of Nothingness:
- Form a squad of suitable for vulnerabilities boss characters, not necessarily DoT mechanics. Periodic damage is fully provided by the Resonance of the Path of Nothingness, while to win, heroes must take the boss out of the battle by breaking through the vulnerability and reducing the health bar with decent damage.
- Pay attention to the formation "Stranger", which will contribute to a rapid rollback of the resonance. As a second formation it is worth taking "The Fourfold Root of Doubt", which increases the chance of imposing negative statuses, their duration and the number of levels.
- Watch for the activation of the Memory Zone Meme skills and take into account its transitions to dangerous states. In the first phase, Something to Death puts the third character who performed the action into a state of “Painful Sleep”. In the next phase, two heroes who took actions before the others are sent to the “Tombs”. At the end of the fight, the monster uses both techniques and can capture up to three allies in one combat cycle.
- Consider useful features “Tombs” and think through your actions in advance to your advantage. Allied characters who are trapped are protected from damage, and when freed, they fully restore superpower energy and half their health.
- Cast Path Resonance immediately after summoning minions to bring your heroes back into the battle next turn. The imposed periodic statuses will also apply to the boss, bringing you closer to victory.
- Leave a healer on the field to heal your teammates from damage, and also don’t let them take away the damage dealer who will free the characters from captivity in an emergency.
Other paths include the following: Hunting will increase speed and crits, Joy will increase damage from bonus attacks, Destruction will balance survivability and damage. Abundance and Conservation are the least suitable options for combat, since allies in traps cannot receive healing and shields.
| Character 1 | Character 2 | Character 3 | Character 4 | How to use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | |  |  | Strategy: Path of Nothingness with the Fourfold Root of Doubt formation and DoT damage blessings.
