Gaining Levels

From basics to very specific. Don't feel like you need to learn it all at once!

Collect your cult!

This being an AFK style game, it may come as no surprise that most of your gains will come from time passing so you can collect AFK rewards from your loyal cult. The max time held is 12 hours. For what it's worth, the x2 mult is probably the most valuable ad to watch if you were going to pick only one. If you have the Lifetime Card (purchase only) it will double all your idle rewards, and this stacks with the x2 ad to make x4 base idle rewards.

Make a cult collecting team.

You can greatly increase how many levels you will gain from cult if you make a very specific team of shadows. You only need to have this team equiped the moment you collect your AFK cult gains, and then can switch back. In the screenshot here I have circled in orange where you can see how much your gains are increased. The shadows you want for this are pictured as well. You will need them to be at least one star to unlock their passives, and this is their names:

  • Long Slicer
  • Shocker
  • Warden
  • Hoarder
  • (Any 5th Shadow)

Soul Gain vs XP Gain

Both Soul and XP are important for getting stronger. XP raises your level which grows your stats overall. Soul allows you to focus on one stat at a time. Without getting into it too much the most important stats to level in the current version are anything Atk or Crit.

Getting even more!

There are nearly a dozen ways to increase your soul and XP gained, and their multipliers. The base amount per hour AFK will be determined by what stage you are currently on, multiplied by x2 or x4 with the lifetime card + ad increase. The following list is all the ways you can grow your Soul and XP Gain %.

  • Use the 4 shadows mentioned before with relevant passives (at a minimum of one star). This is the easiest to achieve and gives a good early boost.
  • You can add engraving to your cult collection team that specifically boosts your gains. This has the largest potential.
  • The Lifetime Card permanently doubles all afk rewards. This is a no-brainer if you can afford to pay real money.
  • Likewise, watching the ad when you collect your cult also doubles your rewards. If coupled with the Lifetime Pass, you will get 4x reward. Buying the Ad Removal Card also gives all ad benefits permanently.
  • Raise those shadows to at least 8 stars eventually to improve their passives. This is costly and likely only worth the star stones if you have stones to burn.
  • VIP levels gained by spending actual money award permanent boosts to XP and Soul gains.
  • Leveling particular God skills (in the cult tab) increases your gain a small amount permanently.
  • Some skins for the God increase your gains if possessed, even if not equipped. Skins can't be used until evolution 10 *(skin bonus currently not working)
  • Once they are at 9 stars, you can add godly engraving to those shadows as well. This is a large bonus but very costly.
  • Shadows, especially legendaries, give you permanent boosts for owning and leveling them. You can see which they boost on their individual pages as shown in this screenshot.
