Common questions
FAQDoes it matter which side I pick — hero or villain?
The core loop of leveling up is the same on both sides. What changes is the story experience and who you are fighting against in PvP.
Why does leveling feel so slow early on?
Focus on weaker enemies you can reliably beat, and use those fights to get comfortable with your power's combos.
How do I get better at PvP?
Practice your skill combos against NPCs, and face the same opponent repeatedly to learn their habits and respond more effectively.
