Dungeon Defenders: Awakened Tips
Hero Deck
Before you have progressed too far in Dungeon Defenders: Awakened you should fill your deck wih one of each of the four heroes that are currently available. Heroes in your deck will all gain XP evenly which means you can level up all the characters at once. Having four different heroes leveled up evenly as you progress through the game will mean if you want to switch to another character at some point during the game you will not have to re-farm XP to get them up to par with your progress.
Switch Between Heroes
In Dungeon Defenders: Awakened you are able to switch between heroes and you should take full advantage of this while preparing your defenses. Play around with each of the four heroes to see who you like for each job so you know when it comes to gear and stat points where to spend them for each character.
When you switch heroes it will not affect defenses that are already built in any way. If you build a blockade as the knight who has the stats and armour that increases defense health, switching to another hero will not reduce the health of structures built as the knight.
Armour
There are several different kinds of armour in Dungeon Defenders: Awakened. No item is for a specific type of stat, each armour has a stat that it will always roll with. Listed below are the different armours along with what they always roll with.
- Ancient:
Always rolls with Skill.
- Guard:
Always rolls with Vitality.
- Militia:
Always rolls with Attack, Hero stats.
- Miner:
Always rolls with Power, Defense stats.
- Primitive:
Always rolls with Movement.
- Arcanist:
Not in the game just yet.
When you equip four items of armour from the same set you will be given a set bonus. The bonus you are granted is a flat 40% of the stats from your Helmet, Chest, Gloves, and boots. During the early parts of the Dungeon Defenders: Awakened you will go through loot fast, just equip whatever has the highest 'Power Rating' until you get close to max level/end game.
