What is Eroica?
Eroica is a Turn-Based Gacha RPG, similar to other titles like Epic Seven, where you command a squad of four members and fight different orders of monsters. The game features different classes (Slasher, Mage, Shadow, Shooter and Healer) and different Elements (Fire > Earth > Water > Fire | Light = Dark). Also a lot of different characters from 1 to 3 stars, with different peculiar abilities like Controllers, Buffer, Debuffer, Burst Damage Dealer or Damage over Time Characters. The game also both features PvE Content like Main Story, Explorations, Puzzles to solve etc, while also PvP and more!
Game Content
Main Story
The “Main Story” in Eroica lets you explore different Chapters, with a map exploration system for some stages, and for the world itself. The stages are different based on the icons:
- House Icon: It means you can go inside a town, with usually sub quests, treasure chests, puzzles to solve etc.
- Swords Icon: A stage where you only fight monsters, but can also contain chests to manually open for various rewards (Golds, Skill books, Consumables etc.)
- Shoes Icon: Exploration Stage where usually there’s no fights but only dialogues and story progress, subquests and some treasure chests.
- Angry Monster Face Icon: Fighting stages with a Dangerous Boss quest at the end. Usually you can’t use support (friends) characters for the first time in this stage.
- Gold Icon: The Relic stage with rewards, puzzle to solve and story/quest progress
Also in the Story you can drop different goodies from the fighting stages, like equip, exp for your characters and consumables for crafting. Remember also that your team, after each stage, won’t be healed to max hp, so you have to pay gold or wait to make your team fully HP again. You can also “Repeat” stages you already did or “Sweep” them with sweep tickets to instantly get the rewards.
Guild Request
The “Guild Request” is not the same as the name suggests. It’s not a “Guild” related content, but it’s just a normal dungeon for improving your character (Guild Request: Exp Potion) and your finances (Guild Request: Gold). Three times a day, for both options, you can collect Exp potions and Golds. Remember to do it daily! You can both Repeat / Sweep (if you completed it at least once with 3 stars) the Guild Requests for fast drops.
Dimensional Rift
The “Dimensional Rift” is the dungeon where you can get the best Equip for your characters. There’s a total of 3 different Rift:
- Rad Rift: In this rift you can drop Weapons and Shoes pieces
- Eoh Rift: In this rift you can drop Chest and Helmet Pieces
- Hagal Rift: In this rift you can drop Ring and Necklace Pieces
The higher the level of the rift you fight, the better the rewards (Tiers) while also the strongest the monsters. You can both Repeat / Sweep (if you completed it at least once with 3 stars) any rift for fast drops.
Ancient Ruins
The “Ancient Ruins” is the dungeon for obtaining Runes, necessary for improving your characters. There’s a maximum of 10 entries per day (reset at 00.00) so choose wisely what runes you need based on the character you wanna develop first. You can both Repeat / Sweep (if you completed it at least once with 3 stars) any stages for fast drops.
Royal Training Grounds
The “Royal Training Grounds” is the dungeon where you can farm “Class Skill Books”, necessary for improving your character's Skills. Same as “Ancient Ruins” the entry for this dungeon is limited to 5 x day. You can both Repeat / Sweep (if you completed it at least once with 3 stars) any stages for fast drops.
Nya Dungeon
The “Nya Dungeon” is a content where you fight different stages (first one has 10 stages + Boss Stage) with your team, and you need to survive and defeat all the stages and the boss with selected team members. If a character dies during this exploration, it won’t be healed until the end, but you can change it with another one on your roster.
Nya Dungeon drops you “Golden Cat Paw”, a currency you can spend in the Amil Shop for Hero Shards and Tier 5 Equip.
Azoth Tower
The “Azoth Tower” is a “Tower” you climb with your heroes to get rewards (usually Summon Tickets). There’s both “Afternoon” and “Night” stages. You can enter up to 3 times per day and try to clear this content!
Arena
The “Arena” is the Player Versus Player (PvP) content in Eroica. it’s a classic Defense Team played by AI vs You. You also need to set your Defense team that will fight for you with other players. The rewards vary with your rank, from a minimum of 5 Crystals and 200 Medal of Victory to a max of 500 crystals and 1200 Medal of Victory. You can spend Medal of Victory in Amil Shop to buy Hero Shards and Tier 5 PvP Gear.
