Leveling up your team inEiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroesis a bit of an odd thing. If your characters are at roughly the game’s unspoken “intended” level, they won’t get much EXP. If they’re lower, they’ll get more. If they’rea lot lower, they’ll get a ton.
For this reason, you can “rubber band” a level 20 character some 15 levels in a single fight later in the game. But what if you’re trying to keep your main crew ahead of the curve throughout Eiyuden Chronicle’s lengthy campaign? Read on to learn our picks for the most efficient ways to level up.
Leveling Up Prior To Unlocking The Mysterious Room
When you get far enough into Eiyuden Chronicle’s storyline, you will be able tounlock a castle facility called the Mysterious Room. We will go into greater detail on this spectacular mode in a bit.
But sinceyou can’t unlock the Mysterious Room until Castle Level 3, we’ll start by discussing the few ways tomaximize your level gain earlier in the game.
Honestly? There’s not a whole lot that you can do by contrast.Equip the Growth Badge, which is found in theAbandoned Mine dungeon, on a character whose level you’re especially concerned with. It willdouble EXP gainwhen equipped.
All well and good, but as soon as you’re a couple of levels above an enemy lineup, you will be earning as little as a single EXP per fight. Not great!There are a few locations you’re able to check outsooner than their difficulty curve might suggest, however.
TheDappled Forest and Bounty Hill, both in the castle region, havethree sectionswhich each become available for exploration at set intervals in the story.Once you’ve unlocked their second, middle, section, grind there for a bit.
This will also net you some much-needed building materials.
That’spretty much it. You can stick around story spots long enough to hit those single-digit EXP gains to strenghten your squad to the realistic current max.Getting the Rune of Inferno and casting Crimson Novawill hasten the process; it’s seriously a great spell.
Leveling Up Via The Mysterious Room
This is when the going gets good. To unlock the Mysterious Room,you will need four Excellent Lacquer(plus some standard-issue materials) so that you’re able to elevate the castle’s rank from two to three. Excellent Lacquer’s earliest spot isGreatwood South.
Once you’ve got the Mysterious Room, find itin the castle basement. It’s that red glyph on the wall near the entrance; you can’t miss it. You’ll gain access toHeroes' Proving Grounds, agauntlet of up to 26 three-battle stages.
Te further you are in the game, the more you’ll unlock, sincethe bosses reflect those bosses which you have already defeatedin the main story.
The foes you’ll face in the Mysterious Room are at amuch higher levelthan they were when you first tangled with them. This is true of the bosses, but it’s also true of the two sets ofregular enemiesthat must be defeated prior to the boss fights.
Since Eiyuden Chronicle’s rubberband EXP system is in place,your first trip through a floor may very well skyrocket your party’s levels. We’re talking 15, even 20, levels by the time you’ve gotten through all three. That’s just one floor!
Give the Growth Badge to someone who’s far behind. Watch them jettison some 30 or more levels in one three-fight round.Late in the game, when you recruit Yulin(an automatically-recruited character),fill the support slot with her to double all EXP.
Finishing all 26 floors is only possibleafter you’ve beaten the game, at which point you will have theAscent Badgefrom the final dungeon as well.Endless Modethen unlocks, which is a fight-til-you-drop gauntlet.
