The Best Upgrades For Every Character

Default

The next Attack after using Power ability will be a flurry of 5 slashes that are 20 percent more powerful.

The Attack to Power loop is standard for Scarlet, and this Upgrade just makes it faster and easier to get back to a full Combo Point Power Attack.

Default

Scarlet’s Human Form Special will no longer affect her, the bomb explodes on contact, and both her Human and Wolf Special abilities recharge 20 percent faster.

Actually makes her Human Special usable as players had to really lead the bomb throw before. Plus, it decreases Special Cooldown by 20 percent for both Human and Wolf Form.

Default

Scarlet’s Defense ability instantly fills all Combo Points and the ability lasts one extra second.

Probably one of her best Upgrades overall, just makes it so that using Defense into Power will melt most if not all enemies in the game.

Rank 2

Quest: Players must use Attack or Power ability during Defense ability 25 times, each one earning them a +1 percent to Crit Chance. Additionally, once completed, the reward is a full 20 percent bonus to Crit DMG overall.

A very easy Quest Upgrade to complete that rewards the player with a whopping 20 percent Crit DMG. And, with how hard Scarlet hits, that’s a big increase.

Rank 4

Scarlet’s Attack has 40 percent more range and will deal 20 percent more DMG per hit.

An obviously overpowered buff for Scarlet. Even the 40 percent attack range would be enough but the 20 percent DMG increase is absurdly good.

Default

Both Attack and Power have a longer range and will deal 20 percent more DMG if they hit the enemy past the ‘halfway point’ of said range.

Most players already hit from after halfway to max range anyway, so this is just a flat DMG buff, while the range buff is a nice little bonus.

Default

When Pied Piper’s Special ability ends, the zone explodes and deals DMG to anything that was around it.

This actually makes Special usable as its default state is pretty difficult to set up and use currently.

Rank 3

Rats will now Weaken enemies while attacking them and also deal 20 percent more DMG.

The Weaken aspect of this is barely noticeable if players don’t take little hits often, but the 20 percent increase is huge because that’s per Rat, not overall.

Rank 4

Defense will now restore Health to both Pied Piper and nearby allies depending on the number of enemies hit by the ability.

Gives Pied Piper some support options in Multiplayer or some survivability in Solo.

Rank 5

The notes from Piper’s Attack are now much bigger and deal 100 percent more DMG, but fire at a 50 percent reduced rate.

Most Rank 5 Upgrades are just amazing overall, though the 50 percent reduced frequency is a bit rough.

Default

When Ignited enemies die, they explode and can spread this Ignite Ailment to other nearby enemies.

In groups of enemies this can ping pong across all of them and melt hordes in a few seconds.

Default

First, Beowulf gains a 10 percent Attack Speed buff. Second, after every Trait activation, Beowulf’s next 3 Attacks are guaranteed crits.

Very good when combined with Heavy Swings, but even without it the 3 guaranteed Crits after a Trait activation is a big plus to Beowulf’s overall damage output.

Default

Ignite deals 20 percent more DMG and lasts two seconds longer

Ignite is currently overpowered so it lasting longer and doing even more damage is an obvious grab.

Rank 3

The shockwave from Beowulf’s Power ability now explodes after it reaches the end of its range and this explosion deals 100 percent more DMG to anyone nearby.

A huge damage increase to Beowulf’s Power ability and, if players can aim the end of it well, a fantastic elite enemy shredder.

Rank 5

Whenever Beowulf triggers a Trait activation, he’ll deal DMG to nearby enemies and Ignite them.

Players should and will be activating their Trait all the time, so adding an Ignite AoE and damage ability to this activation is a no-brainer.

Default

Using Snow Queen’s Trait will leave behind an Ice Clone that has 40 percent of her Max HP and auto-attracts nearby enemies. The Clone will melt after about 20 seconds and only one Clone may be active at a time.

Not a damage buff per se, but a very useful way to kite enemies into a small area to Chill and Shatter them all together.

Default

Her Defense ability now deals DMG over its entire casting animation.

Turns Snow Queen’s Defense into a pretty decent damage ability.

Rank 3

Snow Queen’s Power ability can now be held to ‘charge’ up to three levels. The effect of the charge depends on the time of day. Day = +20 DMG per Charge level. Night = +20 Ability Radius per Charge level.

The Day version of this is incredible against stronger enemies while the Night version is an amazing horde clearer. Synergizes very well with a lot of other Upgrades too.

Rank 4

Power ability now also triggers Shatter on Chilled enemies and Shatter DMG, in general, gets a +20 percent DMG buff.

Gives the Power attack the ability to Shatter enemies too, making it easier to play the character overall.

Rank 5

Snow Queen’s Power ability, Frost Blast, gets a 40 percent DMG buff to Day’s Frost Blast and Night’s Frost Blast lasts 3 additional seconds.

Just an absurd buff like most Rank 5’s tend to be, whether it’s the day or night buff.

Default

Pressing the Attack input while the blades of Aladdin’s Special are still flying will have Aladdin slide toward the blades, dealing 300 percent Attack DMG to anyone he passes through.

Gives Aladdin an actual attack option while Special is in effect, and a great attack option at that.

Rank 3

Pressing Attack while in the air during Aladdin’s Defense ability will cause him to dive into the ground, dealing 400 percent Attack DMG in a small AoE where he lands.

Hard to use at first, but once players get the hang of it this is an elite killer.

Rank 4

After regaining the blades from Aladdin’s Special, the next Attack used within two seconds will spin between 2 and 4 more times (depending on Enchantment), with each spin dealing 80 percent of the regular amount.

Works incredibly well with any other Upgrade that makes it faster/easier to generate Enchantment, but is also great on its own.

Rank 5

Immediately after selecting this Upgrade Aladdin receives another Trait Charge. Additionally, all future Upgrades in this run have a +20 percent chance to be of Rare rank or higher.

+1 Trait Charge means 4 Wishes total and the increased chance of Rare or higher Upgrades is also just hilariously strong.

Rank 5

If Aladdin uses the Jinn summoned during his Power ability to ‘catch’ the Special abilities blades out of the area, he’ll do 80 percent of the standard DMG in a large area around the spot the blades were caught.

Another Upgrade that takes a bit of getting used to, mechanically, but is one of the most inventive Upgrade options in the game.
