Build a Dungeon Beginner Guide
The early game revolves around building a functional dungeon, placing monsters where they can defend key paths, earning coins through active and offline progress, and improving the layout as stronger heroes begin to invade.
Enter the game and learn the build interface
Start by checking the main build, inventory, and upgrade interfaces. Identify where dungeon pieces, monsters, coins, and progression upgrades are managed before spending resources.
Build a simple first dungeon
Create a compact route with a clear entrance, connected rooms, and enough space for monsters to attack approaching heroes. Avoid spreading the dungeon too widely while resources are limited.
Place the first monsters
Use early monsters to cover the entrance, narrow paths, and important rooms. Keep defensive units close enough to support one another instead of placing them in isolated sections.
Earn the first coins and activate offline progress
Run the dungeon long enough to establish a reliable income loop. When the game provides offline earnings, return regularly to collect accumulated coins and reinvest them into the dungeon.
Prepare for hero invasions
Watch how heroes move through the dungeon and identify where your defense loses health or damage efficiency. Reinforce those points with better positioning, additional monsters, or improved rooms.
Build a Dungeon Tier List
A strong dungeon does not rely on damage alone. The most effective choices combine reliable damage, enough survivability to remain active during invasions, efficient resource use, and a clear role within the dungeon layout.
All stages
Reliable core defenders
- Damage
- Consistent damage across repeated encounters
- Survivability
- Strong enough to remain useful during extended invasions
- Income Efficiency
- High value because the same investment supports multiple waves
- Best Use
- Place on the main route, near chokepoints, or beside high-value rooms
Core defenders provide dependable value without requiring a highly specialized layout. They are usually the safest choice when building a stable dungeon.
Mid game
Specialized damage and support units
- Damage
- High damage when enemies enter the unit's preferred range or position
- Survivability
- Moderate and dependent on protection from nearby defenders
- Income Efficiency
- Efficient when used in the correct room or route segment
- Best Use
- Place behind frontline units or at controlled chokepoints
These units can outperform general-purpose defenders in the right setup, but their value drops when placed without support or outside their ideal attack range.
Early game
Starter defenders and budget upgrades
- Damage
- Adequate for early heroes and low-pressure encounters
- Survivability
- Limited during stronger invasions
- Income Efficiency
- Good when resources are scarce and upgrades are inexpensive
- Best Use
- Use near the entrance and in early defensive rooms
Budget options are valuable during the opening phase because they help establish a working defense quickly, but they should gradually be replaced or supplemented as hero strength increases.
Situational
Narrow-purpose or high-maintenance choices
- Damage
- Inconsistent outside a specific setup
- Survivability
- Often requires dedicated protection
- Income Efficiency
- Low when the dungeon cannot support its placement requirements
- Best Use
- Use only when the dungeon layout and invasion pattern clearly favor the unit
These choices are not universally weak, but their performance depends heavily on timing, positioning, and the rest of the dungeon build.
Build a Dungeon Best Monsters
The best monster for a dungeon depends on the route, the strength of incoming heroes, and the resources available for upgrades. New players should first build a balanced defense, then add specialized monsters for difficult waves and high-pressure rooms.
Frontline defender
- Attack Style
- Close-range attacks against heroes moving through the main route
- Acquisition
- Suitable for early progression and simple dungeon setups
- Best Placement
- At the entrance, in narrow corridors, or at the first major chokepoint
- Creates an immediate defensive barrier
- Protects weaker monsters placed behind it
- Easy to support with a compact dungeon layout
Upgrade advice: Improve frontline durability before expanding into distant rooms.
Backline damage dealer
- Attack Style
- Attacks heroes from behind frontline units or across a protected room
- Acquisition
- More effective after the basic dungeon route is stable
- Best Placement
- Behind frontline defenders with a clear view of the main path
- Adds sustained damage without taking the first impact
- Works well when heroes are slowed or grouped
- Improves the dungeon's performance against repeated waves
Upgrade advice: Keep this monster protected; damage upgrades lose value if the unit is quickly defeated.
- Attack Style
- Attacks multiple heroes or controls a busy section of the route
- Acquisition
- Most valuable once hero groups become harder to manage
- Best Placement
- At bends, intersections, room entrances, or other locations where heroes gather
- Handles groups more efficiently than single-target defenders
- Helps stabilize crowded invasion routes
- Pairs well with frontline units that keep heroes in range
Upgrade advice: Place it where several heroes can be affected instead of using it on an isolated path.
High-wave specialist
- Attack Style
- Designed to contribute against stronger heroes or difficult late waves
- Acquisition
- Usually requires more progression and a better-supported dungeon
- Best Placement
- Near the deepest defensive section or beside the final high-value room
- Provides additional power when basic defenses stop being enough
- Can anchor the final section of a long route
- Useful for preparing against high-wave hero pressure
Upgrade advice: Add this type after income and basic survivability are stable, since expensive specialists are inefficient in an underbuilt dungeon.
Build a Dungeon Layout Guide
A successful dungeon layout balances travel distance, combat pressure, trap coverage, and resource efficiency. Start with a simple route for reliable progression, then add controlled loops and defensive layers as your heroes and dungeon systems improve.
Beginner Progression Layout
Create a clear route from the entrance to the objective with rooms placed in a simple sequence. Keep the first encounters easy to reach and place basic traps after the opening combat area so early enemies are weakened before reaching the main defense zone.
RECOMMENDED SETUP
- Use a short, easy-to-follow path
- Place basic combat rooms near the entrance
- Keep traps behind the first monster group
- Reserve a central room for the strongest available defenders
Priority: Reliable progression and easy dungeon management
AFK Farming Layout
Build a compact route that repeatedly exposes enemies to the same defensive zones. Avoid unnecessary branches, keep monsters close to overlapping trap coverage, and place durable defenders where enemies spend the most time.
RECOMMENDED SETUP
- Use a compact path with minimal dead space
- Stack traps around predictable enemy movement
- Place high-damage monsters after crowd-control effects
- Keep the route easy to inspect after returning to the game
Priority: Stable clear speed and reduced maintenance
High-Wave Defense Layout
Use multiple defensive layers instead of relying on a single room. Slow enemies early, apply damage in the middle section, and keep a final defense zone near the objective for enemies that survive the first two layers.
RECOMMENDED SETUP
- Separate control, damage, and finishing areas
- Place the strongest monsters near the final defense zone
- Use bends or loops to increase time spent inside trap coverage
- Leave enough space to upgrade important rooms without rebuilding the entire route
Priority: Wave survival and protection against strong enemies
Resource-Focused Layout
Prioritize a route that produces consistent clears rather than maximum difficulty. Place resource-supporting rooms where they can benefit from repeated enemy traffic, while keeping the main path short enough to preserve clear efficiency.
RECOMMENDED SETUP
- Favor repeatable clears over risky high-difficulty routes
- Place income-related rooms near frequently used sections
- Avoid building expensive defenses that do not improve clear consistency
- Upgrade the sections that directly affect kill rate or resource output
Priority: Balanced cash flow and steady progression
Build a Dungeon Buildings Guide
Buildings should be upgraded according to the bottleneck currently limiting your dungeon. Improve income-supporting structures when cash is the problem, defensive structures when waves are failing, and hero-related structures when your long-term progression depends on better drops.
| Category | Function | Upgrade Priority | Best For | Main Benefit | Upgrade Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Buildings | Increase or support the dungeon's cash flow and resource generation | High during the early game and whenever upgrade costs are slowing progression | Players who need more frequent upgrades and faster dungeon expansion | Improves the amount of resources available for future buildings, rooms, traps, and defenses | Upgrade when the additional income can be converted into faster clears or meaningful defensive improvements |
| Defense Buildings | Strengthen the dungeon's ability to stop enemies and survive higher waves | High when enemies reach the objective or when clear failures become frequent | High-wave defense, difficult enemy groups, and layouts focused on consistent clears | Raises survivability and helps maintain stable kill rates | Prioritize the defense that protects the most frequently used section of the route |
| Trap and Control Buildings | Manipulate enemy movement or keep enemies inside damage zones for longer | Medium early and high when enemy health or wave density increases | Long routes, AFK layouts, and high-wave setups that depend on layered defenses | Creates more time for monsters and other defenses to deal damage | Upgrade control effects before adding expensive damage if enemies are surviving because they move through the route too quickly |
| Hero-Drop Buildings | Support access to or improvement of hero-related rewards and drops | Medium early and high after the core economy is stable | Players building a stronger hero collection or targeting long-term progression | Improves the value of repeated dungeon runs and hero-focused farming | Invest after essential income and defense upgrades are sufficient to maintain reliable clears |
| Expansion and Utility Buildings | Increase available building space, layout flexibility, or general dungeon management options | Situational | Players whose current layout is limited by space or who are transitioning to advanced designs | Allows more complex routes, additional defensive layers, and better room placement | Buy expansion when the existing layout is consistently constrained, not simply because more space is available |
Build a Dungeon Economy Guide
The strongest economy is not always the one with the highest displayed income. It is the one that converts resources into reliable clears, stronger defenses, useful building upgrades, and better long-term rewards without leaving expensive systems inactive.
| Stage | Main Goal | Resource Focus | Recommended Actions | Avoid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Early Game | Establish reliable income and prevent repeated failed runs | Coins from regular clears and basic monster rewards |
| Spreading resources across advanced features before the core dungeon can clear consistently |
| Mid Game | Increase cash efficiency while improving wave performance | Coins, repeatable drops, and stronger monster-related rewards |
| Chasing maximum difficulty if failed runs produce less value than reliable farming |
| Late Game | Optimize returns from high waves, advanced systems, and repeated farming | High-value drops, advanced rewards, hero progression, and long-session income |
| Keeping outdated buildings or oversized routes that consume resources without improving results |
| Offline and AFK Play | Maintain useful income while the player is away | Offline income, repeatable monster rewards, and stable dungeon clears |
| Leaving the dungeon in a temporary test layout or a configuration that depends on manual intervention |
| Resource-Saving Rules | Prevent waste during progression | All upgrade currencies and dungeon rewards |
| Spending the entire balance on cosmetic or low-impact improvements before progression requirements are covered |
Build a Dungeon Updates and Events
Updates and events can change the best dungeon layout, upgrade order, and farming strategy. Check new systems in sequence: understand the rules, identify the rewards, complete the highest-value objectives, and then rebuild the dungeon around the new sources of progression.
Mutations add special modifiers or altered properties to dungeon-related content. Review the active mutation before committing resources so the layout and defenses match the new conditions.
PRIORITY TASKS
- Identify which enemies, rooms, or rewards are affected
- Adjust the dungeon route to handle the active modifier
- Complete the mutation objectives with the highest progression value
- Spend rewards only after confirming which upgrade is currently limiting progress
