I’ve only been playing Lootborn Warriors for a short while, but I’ve learned enough to share some useful tips for anyone just starting out. This Lootborn Warriors Beginner Guide covers the basics: resources, progression, game modes, companions, and a couple of early builds to help you get going.
1. Main Resources in Lootborn Warriors
The first step to progressing is understanding your core resources—how to get them and how to spend them wisely. Lootborn Warriors has four primary resources, plus a few special ones you’ll pick up as you go.
1.1 Chaosite
Your battle energy. Without it, you can’t enter combat stages.
- How to get: Daily events (especially early-game ones like the 7-Day Carnival), the Chaos Ranch, guild coins, gold points, and miners in your camp.
- Tip: Push as far as possible in campaign stages before using the Clear option. Doing clears at the end of the day after you’ve hit your limit gives the best returns.
- Warning: Don’t waste Chaosite if you’re stuck—gear drops are tied to your highest cleared stage.
1.2 Magic Crystals
Needed to upgrade your Blessings.
- How to get: Dismantling gear, campaign rewards, camp mining, gold coin purchases, library research.
1.3 Scrolls of Acceleration
Speeds up blessing upgrade times.
- How to get: Library research, camp miners (farm until blessing level ~13–14), guild shop, gold coin shop.
1.4 Gold Coins
The universal currency for buying nearly everything.
- How to get: Library research, events, and purchases.
1.5 Additional Resources
- Animite: From boss fights; used to refresh companion recruitment and buy helpers.
- Essence of Anima: Drops from bosses, used for helper leveling.
- Tip: Fight bosses at the end of your play session when you’re at full strength.
- Purchase Note: The permanent privilege card is worth it if you’re spending money—it guarantees a mythic companion after 20 refreshes.
2. Adventure Modes, Boss Battles & Realm of Darkness
The Adventure tab holds most of your key PvE and PvP activities.
- Chaos Ranch: Main farm for Chaosite.
- Realm of Darkness: The go-to dungeon for Dark Gear—your late-game PvE/PvP core equipment.
- Requires Magic Keys (given daily, not consumed if you fail).
- Level 41+ unlocks Set Gear with bonus effects.
- Dome War: PvP event awarding Hammer of Relic to unlock relics for stat boosts. Weekly ranks reset, giving better rewards as you climb.
3. Companions
Companions can make or break your runs.
- Always collect at least one copy of each for Codex Bonuses.
- Best tier: Mythic (red).
- You can equip 1 main + 2 support companions.
- Main fights alongside you.
- Support give passive bonuses (attack, defense, lifesteal, etc.).
- If your main dies, its bonuses are gone until revived.
- Tip: Fully upgrade blue companions to max stars early—their passive skills at max level can outperform underdeveloped higher-rarity companions.
4. Gems & Transformation
- Gems: Dropped in Realm of Darkness (from stage 6 onward). Socket them into gear for stat boosts. Merge to upgrade.
- Transformation: Lets you change your appearance to any gear you’ve owned. Purely cosmetic, no stat changes.
5. PvP & PvE Preparation
Different modes require different skill + rune builds.
- Runes: Obtained via rune summons (from scrolls found in campaign stages/events).
- Have at least two builds ready: one for PvE bosses/stages and another for PvP fights.
6. Skills & Recommended Early Builds
6.1 Basic Skill – Strike
Applies “Wound” (damage over time).
- Shard Rune: Armor fracture for more damage.
- Double Strike Rune: Lifesteal for survival.
6.2 Key Skills
Consume all your mana—your main damage source.
- Whirlwind Blades + Thunder Rune: Reduces enemy healing, applies armor fracture. Works even without Dark Gear.
- Sweep / Powerful Strike: Stronger with full Dark Gear.
- Hellfire: Big elemental damage (PvE).
- Thunderbolt: Restores mana for more frequent skill use (PvE).
- Ice Blast: PvP control.
6.3 Control Skills
- Dash + Battle Rhythm Rune: Restores mana (great with Powerful Strike).
- Erasure + Stun Rune: CC for survival.
- Erasure + Fortress Rune: Armor fracture stacking & ult cooldown reduction.
6.4 Support Skills
Instead of shields, use:
- Battle Cry + Tremor Rune: Lifesteal & armor fracture.
- Gathering + Roar Rune: Mana recovery (especially for Powerful Strike builds).
6.5 Ultimate Skills
- Ragnarok + Ruthlessness Rune: Longer buffs, higher crits.

Lootborn Warriors rewards smart resource management, build synergy, and stage progression. As a beginner:
- Push stages daily before using clears.
- Invest in blessings and companions early.
- Maintain separate PvE and PvP builds.
- Don’t rush gear upgrades—look for set bonuses and synergy.
- Treat every failed run as a learning opportunity.
With these tips, you’ll find yourself climbing faster and hitting harder in no time.
