Tips for Newbies ◕⩊◕

  1. Save your dice between events to aim for higher points goals.
  2. Multipliers are unlocked as you collect more dice. They let you get more rewards from a single roll BUT it will cost you just as many dice (20 dice = 2x, 30 dice = 3x, 50 dice = 5x, 100 dice = 10x).
  3. Save gems for this event (unless there is a clearly better event announced). This is one of the best events to be spending your gems (Island Pack 3, Mythstone Chests, etc.)
  4. Once you are past 150k power, we strongly recommend saving resources to maximize number of dice you get from each rotation (Chroma Keys, Wishes, Shovels).
  5. Read the FAQs.
  6. Check out the rest of the guide as hopefully they make more sense now.

  7. Ask questions on Archero 2 Discord.

FAQs (º～º)

What is Points per Dice (PPID)?

PPID is calculated as:
= Total Points / Number of Dice BEFORE Any Rolling
= Total Points / (Start Dice - End Dice)

This means it EXCLUDES dice gained from:

  1. Roll Dice Tasks
  2. Points Breakpoints
  3. Collecting dice from tiles on the board

Why is this important?
PPID better captures the benefit of collecting extra dice while rolling—something that Points per Roll (PPR) does not fully reflect.
PPR = Total Points / Total Rolls Done.

Take this example:
We all agree that landing on a 2x dice tile is a win!
PPR sees it as a negative, since you are ending up with more rolls, which dilutes the score.
PPID, on the other hand, treats it as a positive—more like a refund. You used a dice but got two back.

Should I buy the Island Pack 3 for 750 gem?

Based on our estimates, this pack is worth at least 1350 gems.

Math:

Average for 100k points:

  1. Number of Dice Needed: 269
  2. Points Rewards: 68500 gems (Loot + Mythic Artifact + Treasure Coins)
  3. Gems Gotten: 2700 gems
  4. Chroma Keys Gotten: 2 keys
  5. Wish Coins Gotten: 5 coins
  6. Promised Shovels Gotten: 1 shovel

Value of a single dice: (68500 + 2700 + 1135 gems) / 269 dice ≈ 270 gems

Should I play every event or save dice between events?

Before collecting all golden artifacts, save your dice and only play when you can reach 100k points. This gives you solid breakpoint + ranking rewards and exactly 10 shards—enough to unlock an artifact.

Once you have one of each artifact, choose a focus:

🎯 Gear & Keys Focus

  1. Aim for 20k points per event
  2. Save remaining dice
  3. Go for 100k points when possible
  4. Average of ~20 more keys/month

🏺 Artifacts, Treasure Coins & GvG Focus

  1. Skip events, save dice and aim for 100k points only
  2. Average of ~2 more treasure coins/month
  3. Average of ~14 more rune shovels/month
  4. Average of ~6 more wish coins/month
  5. Average of ~8 more promised shovels/month

Now whether it is worth spending extra dice to go past 100k is totally up to you—but here are a few things to think about:

  1. Will you have enough dice to roll comfortably next time you want to play?
  2. Can you hit the next 10k milestone for another guaranteed treasure coin.
  3. Any little gains such as aiming for the next reward tier will be based on your gut feel. Good luck!
Is there a particular rotation that is better?

Each event rotation focuses on a single artifact for the week. You can collect shards for that artifact as you meet points milestones. The artifacts rotate between Goldfinger, Golden Fleece, and Golden Mask.
We recommend you:

  1. Prioritize getting one of each of the three artifacts first to complete the set bonus
  2. Shift focus to get Goldfinger to 8 stars
  3. Move to star up the other two artifacts equally
What should I buy in the exchange shop?
  1. Cupid's Bow: Cheap, cost only 2 tickets.
  2. Cupid's Arrow: Completes the set and works across all modes. Worth considering getting stars as a Dragoon Helmet user.
  3. Thronebreaker Shield (PVP only): Cheap, cost only 2 tickets.
  4. Demon Artifacts (PVP only): Good effects and even better now that GvG is here.
  5. Otta: 2-star is when he starts to shine in PVP and possibly Boss Battles. Only available in this shop and unfortunately requires a longgg-term commitment (200 shards).
  6. Battle Rite Artifacts (PVP only): Worse effect than Demons and has a meh set bonus.
  7. Epic Characters: A good way to get it although pricey (only Seraph and Dracoola though).
  8. Rare Characters: Just don't.
  9. If no good options, you should save as they are adding more loot to the store
Island Store recommendations
Should I buy treasure coin from Gem Exchange?

The treasure coins is OK value but it does help speed up starring up Demon Artifacts for the purpose of being more competitive in PvP modes like Guild Expedition.
There is also a good chance Habby will add new items in the store so you can always save up for that if nothing interests you.

I want to track my run. Is there a tool I can use to do so?

Yes! Here is a Google sheet you can make a copy of and start tracking your run.

I think I came up with a better multiplier map. Is there an easy way for me to test it out?

Yes! You can run the same Python script to simulate the event, where you can test out your new map:
