Starting out in Voidpet Dungeon can feel overwhelming, especially when you see how many pets, items, and systems are waiting for you down the line. The good news is that you don’t need to figure everything out at once. With the right foundation—focusing on team-building, smart gem spending, and understanding your pets—you’ll progress smoothly through the early floors and set yourself up for success in the mid and late game.
This Voidpet Dungeon Beginner Guide will walk you through the basics of team building, gem usage, and which pets to invest in as a beginner. Also, check out Voidpet Dungeon Best Pets Tier List
Voidpet Dungeon Beginner Guide – Team Build, Gem Spending
Team Building
Your early progress depends almost entirely on putting together a reliable team that can survive fights and deal consistent damage. Legendary pets will eventually define your lineup, but rares and epics can carry you surprisingly far when built correctly.
Core Lineup Recommendation (from Wintang’s team notes)
- Main Tank: Resistance
- Second Tank Options: Conviction or Determination
- Core DPS: Sad (best rare water DPS), Apathy (versatile earth DPS), Anger (raw fire damage), Paranoia (epic metal DPS), Anxious (fast wood DPS)
- Healers & Support: Merry (best rare/epic support), Wonder (hybrid wood healer/DPS), Joy (healer support, weaker but usable)
This setup gives you a balanced mix of survivability, healing, and offense. Resistance anchors your frontline, while Sad and Apathy cover elemental weaknesses and push damage through. Merry provides the best support in the early game thanks to her broken skill “DingDong,” which buffs your team, cleanses debuffs, and forces basics for extra damage.
Subs and Fillers
Subs worth using early on include Sonder (solid healer), Sadge (extra water DPS), Cringe (utility tank), Panic (fast fire DPS with debuffs), Abandonment (bulky tank), and Sanctimony (earth DPS with sustain).
Avoid investing heavily in weak pets like Pain, Glee, Desperate, Grumpy, Judgement, Lonely, Envy, Wistful, or Curious. They fall off quickly and waste valuable resources.
Gem Spending Guide
Gems are your most valuable currency, so you want to spend them wisely depending on where you are in the game.
Early Game (Floors 1–300):
Save gems whenever possible. If you get stuck, spend a few on keys for XP or on the 6-hour chest for stones, but otherwise hold onto them. Building up a reserve now pays off later.
Midgame (Floors 300–1,000):
Your pets start needing a lot more XP, so keys become the best use of gems. If your core 5–6 pets are maxed for their stage, start prioritizing bosses instead, farming Void Matter and epic items. Aim for Harold first (for Jellyfish Scarf), then Quasar (Plunger), and eventually Galax for a wide range of items. Use 6-hour chests when you really need stones.
Endgame (1,000+ Floors):
Keys remain your go-to, since leveling pets requires huge amounts of XP. At this stage, you can also consider investing in Vivids if you own top-tier legends like Greed or Lust. Bosses become the priority for legendary items, since your survival and progress depend on having the right gear.
Pets
Pets in Voidpet Dungeon are defined by their element, type, rarity, and passive abilities. As a beginner, you don’t need to memorize the entire Voiddex, but it helps to know which early pets are worth committing resources to.
- Sad (Rare Water DPS): Arguably the best rare pet in the entire game, with great debuffs and scaling damage. Build this early.
- Merry (Epic Wood Support): The strongest support outside of legendaries. “DingDong” is a game-changer, providing healing, buffs, and cleansing.
- Resistance (Epic Earth Tank): The best tank in the game and easy to evolve compared to legendaries. Keep this in your main team long-term.
- Apathy (Rare Earth DPS): Cleanses itself, stuns, and shreds defense. A very solid early investment until you unlock stronger legendaries.
- Anger (Rare Fire DPS): Pure damage dealer, not flashy but effective against metal enemies.
From here, your progression naturally leads into legendaries like Jealous, Persistence, Wrath, and the Higher Forms, but those come later. Focus on rares and epics first—they’ll carry you further than you expect.
For new players, the key to success in Voidpet Dungeon is simple: build around strong early pets like Sad, Merry, and Resistance, spend gems smartly on keys and boss runs, and don’t waste time on weak filler pets. Once you reach the midgame, your focus shifts to farming bosses for items and gradually levelling a strong team that can handle higher floors.
