Williams-blogger

 

Introduction to Teleria

Welcome to Teleria, a world caught in an eternal struggle between Light and Darkness. Ruled once by the benevolent Arbiter, the land has fallen under the corrupting influence of the Dark Lord Siroth. It is now up to you—the summoner—to collect legendary Champions and lead them into battle to restore balance.

This guide is intended to walk new players through the first major stages of the game, ensuring a strong and efficient start. Whether you're free-to-play (F2P) or a light spender, these strategies apply to you.

🎯 Goals of a New Player

Before diving into gameplay, understand what you’re trying to accomplish as a new summoner:

  1. Clear the Campaign on Normal, then Hard and Brutal.

  2. Unlock and master the Dungeons.

  3. Build a reliable Arena team.

  4. Progress in Clan Boss and Faction Wars.

  5. Develop your first 60-level Champion with masteries.

  6. Start farming high-end gear in Dragon 20+ and Spider’s Den.

⚙️ Setting Up: Your First Days in Teleria

Choosing Your Starter Champion

You’ll choose one of four rare starting Champions:

  • Kael – Dark Elf: Excellent poisoner, best long-term choice.

  • Athel – Sacred Order: Decent AoE damage, weak late-game.

  • Galek – Orc: Fast wave-clear, falls off late-game.

  • Elhain – High Elves: Strong early AoE, weak overall progression.

👉 Recommended Pick: Kael. He’s the best option for Clan Boss, Dungeons, and general progression.

  • Target Brutal Campaign to farm level 5+ gear and food champions.

  • Farm Stage 12-3 Brutal for efficient XP.

🏕️ Champion Management

Levelling Up Champions

Level-up priorities:

  1. Kael to 6★

  2. A support (Warmaiden, Apothecary) to 5★

  3. Food Champions (used to rank up others)

Use XP Boosters and Campaign farming to level Champions fast.

Rank Up Process:

  • Level up 3★ Champions to max (level 30)

  • Combine 3x 3★ Champs to rank up a new 4★

  • Repeat until you can make your first 6★

📌 Tip: Don’t waste good Champions as food—check tier lists and Reddit first!

🧙‍♀️ Masteries & Great Hall

Masteries

Once Kael hits 6★, you should unlock masteries via:

  • Farming Minotaur’s Labyrinth or

  • Buying with gems (not recommended early)

Recommended Masteries for Kael:

  • Offense Tree: Critical Rate, Crit Damage, Warmaster.

  • Support Tree: Accuracy boosts.

Great Hall

Earn Arena Medals to upgrade your Great Hall:

  • Focus Accuracy first (for debuffs to land).

  • Then Crit Damage or HP depending on build.

🧰 Gearing Up: Equipment & Sets

Gear Stats:

  • Main Stats: Top right (Weapon/Helmet/Shield)

  • Substats: Bottom row (Gloves/Chest/Boots/Ring/Amulet)

Prioritize Sets Like:

  • Lifesteal: Great for Kael early on

  • Speed: Crucial for almost all Champions

  • Accuracy: Helps land debuffs

Early Goals:

  • 100% Crit Rate

  • High Accuracy for debuffers

  • Enough Speed to go first

💡 Don’t over-upgrade bad gear. Focus on 4★ and 5★ with good substats.

🏆 Arena: PvP Progression

Early Strategy:

  • Choose weaker teams in Classic Arena to build win streaks.

  • Use Speed Lead + Turn Meter Booster + Debuffer + Nuker

Beginner Team Example:

  1. High Khatun (speed lead)

  2. Apothecary (boosts speed)

  3. Warmaiden (AoE DEF down)

  4. Kael (damage)

Arena wins grant:

  • Medals for Great Hall

  • Tokens for Bazaar (in Tag Team Arena)

  • Weekly rewards (gems, gear)

🏰 Dungeons: Farming for Growth

Key Dungeons:

  • Dragon’s Lair – Top priority for Speed/Accuracy/Lifesteal gear.

  • Ice Golem – Riskier, but useful sets (Resistance, Retaliation).

  • Fire Knight – Advanced, for high-end utility gear.

  • Spider’s Den – Vital for getting Ring/Amulet/Banners.

  • Minotaur’s Labyrinth – For Mastery scrolls.

Begin farming:

  • Dragon Stage 13-20 for consistent gear and silver.

📌 Bring:

  • Debuffers (Poison, HP Burn)

  • Turn Meter control

  • Healers or Lifesteal sets

🧪 Potion Keeps: Ascension Essentials

Potions are needed to ascend Champions:

  • Use Arcane, Magic, Spirit, Force, or Void Keeps

Farm keeps during their active days. Always have enough to ascend Kael to 6★ as soon as possible.

🏹 Clan Boss: Your Key to Long-Term Progress

Basics:

  • Join an active Clan

  • Fight Clan Boss daily for Shards, Books, and Gems

  • Focus on surviving as long as possible

Early Team:

  • Kael (Poison)

  • Apothecary (Healing & Speed)

  • Frozen Banshee (if you pull her—amazing poisoner)
