The speaker introduces an unusual Idol Heroes team built around Great Sage Sun Wukong. They explain the overall idea: a flexible lineup that can handle PvP, boss fights, and progression without relying on a single traditional DPS hero.
Speaker A
Today we're going to be talking about an Idol Heroes team unlike any other you've probably heard of, seen, or even done yourself.Today we're talking about Great Sage Sun Wukong.And okay, sure, you get it, he's a good hero and you probably want to have him on most, if not all accounts.But what if I told you there is a fantastic strategy that you can do that uses Great Sage Sun Wukong as your main hero?And I don't just mean for early game, that's standard, that's normal.But I mean for literally almost all of the game until you reach mega late game with access to Destiny and stuff like that.Have I got your attention?Good, because this is going to be a selection of heroes which does not specialize on a specific DPS hero that is going to lock you into a specific way of playing.
Instead, it's gonna give you a broad variety of just excellent heroes.It's gonna give you something that's good at PvP, it's gonna be good at boss fights.It's gonna cover every single area of the game without marrying you to a specific damage dealer like Aspen, Vulcan or someone like that.Because really, when you take a look at this, you'll realize you probably don't need them.The big standout heroes we're going to be talking about today are not just Great Sage Sun Wukong, but but two others that will make this a very clear strategy that you can implement through your journey.The first of these other two heroes is Doppelganger Natalie.You can use her for boss fights.We'll talk about how to do that a little later on.And finally, the other damage dealer is someone to have your sights towards in the future because ultimately you will finally need a dedicated damage dealer.
But having someone that's flexible and really good at PvP and actually takes advantage of the fact you're in late game is strong.And that's where Infinite Era Alaquita comes as a highlighted hero because normally she requires quite a lot to work, but by the time you build it on this account, you'll already have that stuff ready to go.
This section covers the early build order, starting with Wukong and then Betty for Void Vortex support. It also explains how their artifacts, cores, and energy loops help the team control enemies and generate resources.
Speaker A
So let's get started.
Your first hero that you're going to worry about is Great Sage Sun Wukong.In fact, he could be the very first hero on your account.Because he is a Star Wish hero.You can transcend him, give this guy lingering melody of the universe and allow him to hit really hard.He'll even get some stuns off.If you want, you can give him gauntlet to deal with opponents who have burn.And later on you can give him things like Elusive Mirror and Dragon Receptor when you want to focus on him as a control hero.In fact, you probably don't even need the Dragon Receptor to be honest.But the control is something that will come in later when you get access to the Tree of Origin.And you can upgrade this passion too.So that's the first thing we need to talk about is this passive.
It stuns.Okay.That's really good.On a Wukong, he has to be wearing an energy artifact or gain energy in the round.It's going to trigger his passives which allow him to improve the attack and the holy damage of your team.And then to enemies, he's going to inflict them with Divine Retribution.A chance to inflict fragile.And then that chance to stun for one round, which becomes two rounds.So that's when he starts off with energy.
The active skill also allows you to deal some pretty decent damage.A thousand damage to all enemies.So hit everyone.Fantastic Crit is guaranteed on the next 2000 attack he's going to do.So he hits pretty hard.That's backline enemies as well.It cannot be dodged or blocked.And then he's going to deal even more attack that ignores enemy armor to the enemy with the highest attack.So progressively fewer and fewer people get hit.But my goodness, does this hit nice.
He's got debuff to armor, debuff to damage reduction and massive boost to holy damage.He also keeps himself alive with shields.He can be a solo hero in his own right.That's going to be your main focus.Actually.Wukong is your main damage dealer, if you want to call him that for the start of the game.Now your second transcendence hero to build is probably going to be considering if we're still early game at this point.Betty, she's going to let you do the void Vortex.That's the main key point.You're going to want a Rudy Scepter here to give her improved control.
You're going to want Elusive Mirror so she can passively gain energy between rounds.Getting to over 100 continuously so that she keeps doing this superfl of oblation passive that allows her to do her active skill repeatedly and crowd control opponents.Ideally she's going to start next to an Ignis who can die and energy feed her up to get this passive happening immediately.Or you can give her the new gauntlet artifact and put her on the backline that is going to give her energy energy as well.In Void Vortex, you want that Ignis Though, for the added control immunity she brings.So if you don't know, Nine Star Ignis, when she dies, is going to offer you protection.That's really important for the Void Vortex.Where is she?There she is.You can see this passive here gives you energy, gives you control immunity, and also heals you fully in case you took any damage.
Now that's something important for Void Vortex and that's a definite reason to build Betty so you can get the passive resources from Void Vortex as fast as possible.We have videos covering Void Vortex, so I'm not going to go into too much detail with that, but that is a good opportunity for your second Hero.Once you've done that, you can either stay with Betty and Wukong together and they're going to do loads of crowd control on the opponents and help you in PvP.And that's the other place that this team is going to really, really shine as we progress through hero choices.Because PvP gets you access to these crystals and these crystals let you buy things like Free Awakens, which are going to be really, really nice on your account.
Also, if you've got enough of them, you can even pick up pages of Destiny as well, and that can help you during certain events where using them can get you bonus rewards as well.So make sure you prioritize towards PvP, especially in the early game, because you're going to get access to a lot of nice resources like Free Awakens, which will help you to get Contract Story Gems which allow you to do big events in the cool events when they come around.Check out our event reviews on Friday for more information on how to use your contract story gems in the best way possible.One thing I didn't mention about Bertie actually, which is extraordinarily important and I deserve a smack on the wrist for not mentioning it, is you want her core, which means Tree of Origin 1 is the bare minimum for her so she can wear this core.
In fact, you can have a Tree of Origin 1 Betty on your account for the duration as just a lovely side support hero.
If you want to upgrade her further though, I recommend getting Suburb Oblivation all the way upgraded so it gives you some bonus energy.And then put one upgrade in Doom Death so you get even more energy when you twine opponents.This is important because you want to keep the energy flowing into Betty so that this passive can continuously trigger.And yes, you only need a one Star core.You're absolutely right, you do not need to get this to three Star.
So listen to Police there in chat all we care about is that this re triggers the blood binding twine and that gives us more opportunities to crowd control our opponents.You don't need to take this to level 2, level 3, Etc.No, you just want to get one core.Other than that, your tree of origin resources of focus should be sublimation to improve the power of your team.
The guide expands into Scarlet Queen Halora, Melissa, Doppelganger Natalia, Vespira, and Alakita. The speaker explains how these heroes add crit damage, crowd-control protection, debuffs, and flexible damage options as the team grows.
Speaker A
Our next hero to consider is going to be a Scarlet Queen Hawa.
If you remember, Wukong's Active was guaranteed to crit well.Halora has the ability Abyssal Corruption that's going to allow you to deal more critical damage to opponents.So definitely look to upgrade this with sublimation to get that 24 bonus to your critical hits.Further to that, you also can gain additional layers of Abyssal Corruption by making it noble.And there's some other cute little bonuses here.For example, 24 all damage dealt if you put one upgrade on the Royal Guard here.So that's a really minimal way to sublime a Halora.Just put it all on the active to Noble.One upgrade on Royal Guard, that's not too bad.24 all damage dealt with that extra hit on Crits.
What's not to love, it makes you do a lot of damage on your team.Also she has the added effect to bleed opponents if you want some synergy there.And you also gain the abilities to if you upgrade this all the way to steal opponent's attack with her counter attacks.And the counter attacks in their own right can be pretty good for chipping away at opponents.Especially in some game modes like PvP where it can be pretty irritating for your opponent.
Now at this point you should have two or three Transcendence Heroes.Whether you choose to keep the Betty on is up to you.And your next hero consideration should be a Melissa.The one thing this team does not have is protection against crowd control effects.Melissa has the ability to remove her own energy so that she can remove control effects from your team.
Very good for keeping you alive.So definitely go ahead and focus on this Passive.You can upgrade that all the way if you want to make it as powerful as possible.What you may realize is she also has a fantastic Active skill.This can steal damage reduction and control immunity from your opponent, reducing them so they are more susceptible to both damage and control.And if properly upgraded, this also can affect not just the front line, but the backline enemies as well.Very useful.Now unfortunately as you are spending your energy, you may think you'll never get to do that active skill.Well, fortunately if you spend enough of it, you actually do trigger when you would do a basic attack, an active skill anyway.For that reason you also want to sublime the basic attack because for some reason the ability to do your active skill when you would do a basic scales with the sublimation of the basic attack.
So make sure you've improved the sublimation on your basic attack as well if you want to maximize the power of those active skills.So you're looking for sublimation on both Active Passive one and Passive two for a Melissa.With her on the team, you'll have protection against control effects.She can resurrect a tank hits, and you also have some extra shields there too, which is going to give you some much needed protection for your team.And I really like her addition here.
At this point you can still rely on Wukong for damage, but in PvP enemies are gonna have crowd control like your Wukong and Betty should be doing to them.Melissa protects you against that which is really powerful.Next on the list we're going to be looking at Doppelganger Natalia, a really, really strong support hero who has the ability to heal you when you drop below half hp.That can happen to both her and your main hero.She's also going to give you really strong strong bonuses with Attack Holy Damage, damage reduction and Critical damage.So you're gonna give yourself more power for that main damage dealer.On top of that, she also can take debuffs on the highest attack opponent, which is the opponent with the Undying Shadow, and give them out to the rest of the team.When this final passive is upgraded, that's going to mean more debuffs for the enemies.
And if you don't know, Natalie does even more damage to opponents the more debuffs they have, and then takes all that damage and does it again with a 70 total of what it was to the enemy.With Undying Shadow, which is the enemy typically with the highest attack, that means she can do a lot of single target damage.And on this specific team, she's going to be your main boss killer because the bosses have the highest attack.So Natalie is going to be the person who is going after them.Early on, you might find your Wukong does more damage, and that's probably due to the fact that your Natalie isn't properly invested in.You don't have a lot of debuffs coming out, but the more powerful your team becomes and the more debuffs you can deal to the enemy team, the stronger Dance of Shadowland becomes.
Now, at this point you should either have four or five heroes, whether you've Considered Betty and our sixth here is going to be one of my favorite support heroes.In fact, it's going to be for Spirit Stygian Twilight.Vespira has the ability to give Stygian Mark to your highest attack hero, increasing their all damage dealt.This is a really, really solid passive when you consider also she's going to be debuffing the enemy team and also buffing your team with further bonuses to things like attack armor, damage reduction, control, immunity and speed.With these and the fact that she also has the chance to stun opponents and give shields to your weak allies, she's actually a pretty solid support hero.More importantly, your damage dealer, Natalia is going to take advantage of all of these debuffs because she's going to get even more damage with those debuffs being out on the enemy team.
Which means she's going to do compoundingly more damage to your opponents, especially in boss fights.And this could be really, really helpful for maximizing your damage output on an Italia.Also, Vespira's ability to debuff opponents synergizes with another hero.You'll want to consider a follow up hero on this list, which is going to be Alakita.Alakita has extremely strong powers with her active skill that allows her to deal more damage to opponents the more negative effects that they have.
So at this point you'll have six or seven heroes and you could now pivot into Alita being your main damage dealer and use Wukong more as a support.Or you can bring in Alita to just be another form of damage dealer and still focus towards the Wukong.That would be fine as well.For your support heroes, you're probably looking to be wearing Demon Bell and Elusive Mirror for energy feed.For your damage dealers, you're going to be wanting things like Lingering Melody of the Universe to maximize their output.It would be unwise to probably have multiple lingering melodies, so you kind of have to pick between which one is going to be your main focus.Whether it's Wukong or Alex.Experiment around, see which one achieves the most damage.But once we start looking at Destiny, it'll make more sense which one is your priority?
As you can tell with those six or seven heroes, you have pretty much all the main supports we normally talk about covered, but you've got that Alita as an option as well to become a damage dealer.It's almost like this is a super guide to using Alita as a damage dealer.But it isn't really because she doesn't come until the very end of your building of Transcendence heroes.
The speaker shifts to Destiny planning, explaining which heroes should receive priority and why Wukong remains a strong early focus. They outline how the team naturally transitions from Wukong into Alakita and Natalie as stronger late-game options.
Speaker A
I kind of like that because you can do just fine with a Wukong because he will get you very far in Void campaign as a damage dealer in his own right.You can easily land at the feet of chapter seven.Looking at this Valkyrie home, Jung wave and go.Yep, I've done it.I've cleared six chapters.That felt pretty good.You're probably more likely going to get to 612 which is where you get this Valkyrie wave here.But still you can make some pretty solid progress just using Wukong as a damage dealer.
And as well, if you're a spender, you can a tier that Wukong give him giant killer.You could do the same for the Natalie, give her giant killer and that's gonna make one Void invasion bosses fall.In fact, your A tier priority should probably be the Natalie because you've got to remember these void invasion bosses are going to give you destiny materials which are essential for when we look at which order you want to be building these destiny heroes.So consider if you were getting eight is Natalie is your first priority Wukong for more damage and maybe eventually Alakita when she becomes a damage dealer for you as well.So where do we start with our destiny heroes?
Well, it's kind of up to you.I would start personally with wherever you have an A tier hero if you do and if you don't, I'd then probably be looking towards either Wukong or Alita.I think Wukong is probably your best bet first as he is just a good all round hero and more power on him and is definitely going to feel nice with his own self survival that he has through shields.And the added protection he's going to get with that Divine power boost is going to be extremely useful.It's also going to improve him by giving him the destiny abilities that allow him when he gets to have more layers getting those extra active skills.And that's at the end of each round if he has six or more layers which he should be able to do if he can continuously do active skills so you get a little bit more damage.
And if you upgrade these passives you can also bring that in as well which gives you more stun chances or chances to steal energy or just chances to deal more damage.So his tree is actually pretty versatile and quite fun.But where else should you focus?Well, I'd probably say if you haven't built her already, Alaka would make as a really good follow up choice for the Wukong for two reasons.She's an excellent Damage dealer in her own right, so can support Wukong with added pressure.Considering that the Grimoire then is going to be giving such broad bonuses to your heroes, having two Damage Dealers doesn't seem insane.And also Wukong is just a solid hero anyway, so it doesn't really matter if he's just got Destiny on, so that's fine.And if you do lean into Alita as a Damage dealer, you can use the Wukong as a tenant, which is going to boost her up even more, which she'll definitely appreciate.
So putting Destiny on the Alaki to second makes sense.
After that, I'd probably look towards a very standard build order where Melissa would then get more Destiny.And then fourth you can go into Natalie.What this achieves, if you've done your Temple levels correctly, is access to Divine Power six on your strongest hero.If that's Natalie, she can go ahead and help you in the Void invasion bosses.Also, you should have four Destiny Heroes so you can enter into the Hollow campaign and start picking up the chests in here that contain the first six Transcendence Heroes.
That's important because as your fifth Destiny or as your sixth to be fair, depends how quickly you get those cores.You can go ahead and build Scarlet Queen Halora because of the first six destinies, she is arguably the most useful and by upgrading her for basically free because you should have sublimation anyway, but the core just is given to you, you should be able to have now five or six Destiny Heroes.If you want to know the other hero you should be investing in, it is actually the last hero that we mentioned before, Vespera.She would also be very advantageous because she helps Natalie and Alakita by giving them all those debuffs and she has a really neat Destiny Tree that allows you to gain energy.And if you did go so far as Nirvana, this is a pretty cool ability, but that's probably something not to worry about just yet.
She is just a solid support hero to have on your team and you will appreciate having Divine Power on her.Now.Your seventh Destiny Hero should come as no surprise, Star Alchemist Holmes Young because this is when you unlock Nirvana.I mention this in every Super Guide.It's the same with every Super Guide.But my word, getting this guy to Nirvana is bonkers because he triggers his Nirvana ability when any ally releases an Active skill.Assuming he has three or more layers, it does not consume those layers, so he's able to do this over and over again, triggering his Destiny Tree each time an Active skill is done by your teammates.That means he's going to increase the attack of the ally with the highest attack whether they shall Wukong, whether that's your Alakita probably is Alakita at this point and it's pretty strong because a 24 attack bonus continually when your allies do an active gets out of hand pretty quick.
On top of that you can also reduce targets attack by 15 that will go straight onto the enemy team, decreasing their efficiency.Very nice.
What that ends up being is one of the strongest support heroes you have access to not to consider his treasure train and also cool effects when you start considering Star souls like Plume.But all in all, Star is extremely good and definitely should probably be your first Nirvana hero.With seven Destiny heroes, you also can get to two Nirvana Heroes, which is probably where you're now going to focus towards Alaquita as your other Nirvana hero and main damage dealer.You could alternatively go for Natalie and focus towards boss fights with that.And that's why once you get to eight Heroes, I'd actually recommend making Natalie the other of your Nirvana heroes and that way you Even though we started with Wukong as a main damage dealer, he's not going to continue as your main damage dealer.He's still going to be a phenomenal hero with Destiny that's going to help you in PvP and he will continue to do so way into late game.
But what happens beautifully when you start with Wukong as a damage dealer and build in this way is he naturally hands the baton over to Alakita and Natalie without having to awkwardly bring in another hero that doesn't already synergize with him.It's just a lovely order and progression.And these are heroes that we build anyway.If you look at any of my other super guides, you'll notice the hero suggestions are all the same, except there is no dedicated damage dealer because they're integrated already into the building of the team.So when Alita does finally come along, there's no awkward switch from let's say an Aspen to an Alita or a Vulcan an Alita.That never happens.It just naturally occurs organically, which is why I love this progression.
This final chapter focuses on advanced Destiny and Nirvana choices, especially for boss killing with Natalie. It closes by refining the ideal boss team, explaining Natalie’s critless setup, and summarizing why this efficient lineup works so well.
Speaker A
Wukong hands over and it just works.Now I don't normally go beyond this point and start talking about other Destiny heroes or even heroes to consider, but your eighth Destiny hero, because you will need an eighth to get to three Nirvanas.
Some people would take a look at at Blood Tide Queen Arania, and that's for two reasons.Arania is going to benefit for being Nirvana similar To Star Alchemist Homjong, she can do her whole Destiny Tree when any ally does an active skill.And that's going to allow her, just like Star Alchemist Homjong, to steal attack from opponents.But instead of giving attack to your hero, it's actually going to instead have more damage for her.Or more importantly, she could petrify the enemy team.
Unfortunately though, when we outlined that Natalie could be Nirvana, and obviously Alikita can be nirvana and starch, Mr. Mujo definitely wants to be nirvana.I think at Eight Destiny Heroes, you can't quite justify building blood type Queen Irania, yet you actually want to wait for four Nirvana Heroes.So I prefer building her ninth.That means we need to find another hero who fits perfectly as our eighth Nirvana Hero.And there's one support hero who at this point we have completely overlooked, and that's Madeline.
Start devouring Bloom Madeline.And she is the final piece of the puzzle to making the perfect team for Natalie to defeat bosses.Because Madeline gives you some stun, some shields, the ability to remove crowd control when you upgrade her active skill through the Sublimation tree.And finally, and most importantly, she's going to boost your damage output not just by giving you increases to your damage stats, but also by giving you a special ability called All Damage Reduction Offset.This allows us to ignore enemy defenses.And it's important in boss fights because they have all damage reduction, meaning Madeline helps you get further with your damage.And with strong heroes like Wukong, you're going to have shields on your team, which means you maximize the effects of things like her core, which are also going to give hefty amounts of all damage dealt.Now, I think it's important at this point to stress how you build a team with Natalie as a damage dealer.
And the biggest thing about Natalie is her active skill has one instance at the start it says deals 1,400% of damage to four random enemies.This extra damage you deal does not have a chance to create.It's just a fixed bonus damage.Therefore, the only opportunity to critically hit an enemy is this initial hit here.Now, the reason this is important to know is because Balance Strike, which you can find in your enabling trees, if the basic attack or active skill crits, you're going to restore HP by 15 of damage dealt.However, if it doesn't create you deal an extra 30 of damage, that is 30 of everything you already did again.So when you build a Natalie as a boss killer, you actually want to make sure that she has no crit at all.
Because with zero Crit, you're guaranteeing yourself that that first hit she does doesn't create, and everything else that flies follows wouldn't crit anyway.So it's gonna benefit from this bonus damage coming in from Balance Strike.And considering that she does more and more damage, the more debuffs you do to opponents, you kind of want to just take that big chunk of damage, apply those additional bonuses and just deal colossal amounts of damage to the enemy with Undying Shadow.So Balance Strike is definitely the best way to go with a Natalie, assuming she's not going to die if she doesn't have unbending will.Therefore, removing all Crit entirely and ensuring that you don't crit is the best way to go.
That does mean that heroes like Halora aren't going to benefit you as much because it's not going to trigger Abyssal corruption.But that just means that heroes like Vespera are far more valuable in those situations.So if you're looking for really good heroes to run against Void invasion bosses alongside your Natalie, Vespira is an excellent choice.Giving more debuffs.Melissa has debuffs, Wukong has debuffs.So already that's four heroes you can consider.Madeline, we already established is gonna massively improve your damage output.And you could just throw her Laura in there anyway because she gives you bonuses to all damage dealt.Alternatively, you could consider some side support heroes, people that we haven't really mentioned.Someone like Elena for example, to give you access to Dodge and that would be fine.Getting some Dodge could be good against certain Void Invasion bosses.Or heck, you could just throw in Betty for some added control.
That is a legitimate thing to do.Or even Alakita I suppose she might do something as well.Basically though, you are just putting together a team that specializes towards Natalie and Alakita's desire for for debuffs.And it's so good then that our starter hero Wukong has debuffs.Melissa, our follow up hero also has debuffs.Star Alchemist Home Jung who steals Attack has debuffs.In fact, he is the obvious sixth hero.Why did I not consider him immediately?
Doy, of course.So the team for Natalie would be Star Alchemist, Homejong, Madeline, Wukong, Melissa, Natalie herself and Vespera.What a lovely team that will be against bosses.So there you go.It is entirely possible to build a very powerful Idle Heroes team focused not on main damage dealers, but on just solid heroes who can be damage dealers but also offer so much more to your account.
Starting with Wukong bringing in Natalie to be a boss killer and later getting Alakita being because she's so good at wider killing and PvP.This team just makes so much sense and arguably I think is probably the most efficient way for a spender or even a free to play player to get the most out of the heroes that they choose.Does that mean heroes like Mockman, Aspen or Williams are bad?No, not at all.Aspen is still the best possible damage dealer in the game against things like Star Expedition.
This is a team streamlined, focused on the most efficient resource use possible and that for many people is a desirable outcome.I know Will, for example thinks Natalie is one of the best, if not the best heroes in the game because she's not just a phenomenal support.She can take the weight of damage dealer and carry it on her shoulders in boss fights.Which means you're not picking up someone else like Aspen to do that.You already have Natalie.You should be building Natalie.So why not just use her for boss fights?Is she the best?No, she's the second best.We know this, but that's still fine.
And for that reason this team is streamlined and focused.We're not asking the question who is the best option, we're asking who's the most efficient option that still gets the job done.And that is why a team starting with a Wukong, ending with an Al Akita sounds like one of the best teams you could build in the game.Let me know in the comment section what you think.Let me know if there's any questions about this team that you have.
And of course this is a team for more advanced players that know lots of good stuff about the game.But then again, if you've picked up other tips and tricks from our previous super guides, you can apply all of that still here.And who knows, you could have one of the coolest and most powerful teams.Not just across the normal Void campaign bosses and Void invasion stuff you have to do, but also in PvP because Alaquita and Wukong, they shine there too.I'll see you next time.
Have an amazing week.And as always, happy Idling.
