Dealing high damage in Dekaron requires a combination of the right gear, stats, and upgrades. Whether you’re a new or experienced player, optimizing your setup can make a huge difference in both PvE and PvP. This guide outlines five essential tips to significantly boost your damage output.
1. Utilize Runes for Quick Damage Boosts #
Runes are one of the easiest ways to quickly increase your damage. You can obtain them from:
- NPC Jack (Seed of Dreams – Premium Shop): Purchase Shiny Rune Package and Fine Rune Package to obtain powerful runes.
- Player Market (Agency): Buy high-value runes like Pumpkin Rune, Maple Rune, and other attack-boosting runes.
- Rune Effects: Runes enhance attributes such as Vitality and Attack, directly impacting your damage output.
Make sure to equip runes whenever possible to maximize your effectiveness in battle.
2. Increase Vitality for Higher Critical Damage #
Vitality (VIT) is the most impactful stat for increasing damage because it directly affects your critical damage modifier. The maximum Vitality modifier is 400%, making it a key stat to optimize.
How to Increase Vitality: #
- Infinite Spirit Dragon Perpetus (+300 VIT) – Farm this essential item for a major VIT boost.
- Gold Dragon Scale Belt (+180 VIT) – Once difficult to obtain, now frequently sold in the Agency.
- Ultimate Dekaline Ring (+10% Critical Damage) – Can be crafted in Ardeca.
- Spookliet Accessory (+12% Critical Damage) – Event-exclusive item.
- Red Monkey Earrings +7 (+170 VIT) – Found in the Scream Cave Dungeon (195+).
- Tristy Armlet +9 (+20% Critical Damage) – Obtain by farming or buying from other players.
- Mounts (e.g., Batis Mount) – Adds up to +100 VIT.
- Crests in Costumes – Can provide up to +160-170 VIT per crest slot.
Maximizing Vitality significantly enhances your damage output, especially in critical hits.
3. Equip High-Quality Gems and Crests #
Many players underestimate the power of gems and crests. Even if you have strong gear, your damage will be lower without the right gems.
Best Gems for Increased Damage: #
- Bracelet and Belt Gems:
- Disaster Stones and Elemental Stones (Dark, Lightning, etc.) – Increase elemental attack by up to 12%.
- Obtainable from DShop or by purchasing from other players in the Agency.
- Helmet Gems:
- Vitality Gems – Increase VIT for higher critical damage.
- Weapon Gems:
- Spirit Gems (+100 Spirit) or Strength Gems (+100 Strength) – Higher stat scaling leads to increased base attack damage.
- Four of these gems add +400 STR or SPR, drastically improving your damage.
- Glove Gems:
- Penetration Stones – Increase damage by bypassing enemy resistances.
4. Choose the Best Accessories and Earrings #
Accessories play a crucial role in damage optimization. The right combination can enhance your attack, stats, and critical damage.
Best Earrings for Damage: #
- Red Monkey Earrings +7 – Provides +170 VIT and 80 all stats, excellent for PvE.
- Divine Moonstar Earrings – +200 all stats and +10% all attack (good for both PvE and PvP).
- Candy Earrings + Valentine Chocolate Earrings Set – Grants +500 all attack and +5% PvE damage.
- Moon Earring Upgrades (New Moon → Crescent Moon → Half Moon → Full Moon → Divine Moon) – Enhances all stats and attack power.
Best Accessories for Damage: #
- Infinite Spirit Dragon Perpus – A must-have for every character.
- Shiny Devil Horn – +150 all stats, +10% critical damage (upgraded via NPC Arya).
- Ultimate Dekaline Rings (Up to 3) – Adds +10% critical damage each.
If you stack three Ultimate Dekaline Rings + Perpus + Devil Horn, you’ll gain massive damage and PvE resistance bonuses.
5. Upgrade Your Weapon for Maximum Base Damage #
Your weapon is the single most important factor in determining your overall damage. Prioritize upgrading to:
- Helion Weapon (Level 200+) – One of the best weapons for endgame players.
- Zuto or Rondo Weapon – A +10 or +12 Rondo Weapon has exceptionally high base damage.
- All Attack Stat – The best all attack stat roll can go up to +4,000.
If you’re unable to craft a weapon due to high material costs, focus on saving money from farming to buy a strong weapon from other players.
