How Card Sets Work: A Quick Primer
Before we dig into the best sets, here’s what you need to know:Key Effects: Focus on Drain Life (heals you as you deal damage), Smite (extra damage on critical hits), and On Rush (triggers bonuses when you use rush skills). These are the backbone of any solid setup.
Legendary Cards: The strongest sets often include legendary cards, which you get by fusing lower-tier cards. These sets don’t just offer great effects—they also toss in flat stat boosts like crit rate or crit damage.
Bond Cost: Each set costs “bonds” to activate, equal to the number of cards in the set (e.g., a three-card set = three bonds). You’ve got a max of 10 bonds, so mix and match wisely.Newbie Tip: Start with easy-to-farm sets that don’t need legendaries. You can upgrade as you progress.
The Best Card Sets to Farm
Here are the top picks for each effect, starting with accessible options and scaling up to the best of the best.1. Drain Life Sets – Keep Yourself Alive
Drain Life is clutch for staying in the fight, especially if you’re free-to-play (F2P) and can’t rely on endless potions.Beginner Pick: Resurrected Spirit
Cards: Three green cards (e.g., Stalker Jiangshi, Profane Jiangshi). Why It’s Good: Fully farmable from story quests and early dungeons—no RNG nonsense required. Next Step: Upgrade to Corrupted Secret Desert Beast (uses Tomb of Exiles and two Forgotten Tomb cards). These drop from dungeons, making them alt-friendly.Mid-Tier: Blackram Naryu Warrior
Cards: Devourer + Poharan. Perk: Drain Life level 8—serious healing power. Catch: Needs a Poharan card from the Poharan dungeon. Start farming this once you’ve got decent gear.Endgame Goal: Naryu Labyrinth
Cards: Four cards from Naryu Labyrinth. Why It’s Top-Tier: Higher Drain Life effect, but it’s a grind. Save this for when you’re ready to tackle tougher content.The Corrupted Secret Desert Beast set is a fan favorite on forums—it’s farmable and holds you over until you can snag Poharan cards.2. Smite Sets – Boost Your Damage
Smite adds extra punch to your crits, but it’s less urgent than Drain Life or On Rush early on.Starter: Homeo School
Cards: Three green cards from the story. Why It Works: Super easy to grab while questing. Bonus: Get the second Lulong card from a bookshelf in the Lulong house (story area)—freebie alert!Upgrade Path: Blackram Supply Chain or Naryu Labyrinth
Cards: Four cards from these dungeons. Heads-Up: Strong Smite effects, but they hog bonds. Skip these unless you’ve got extra cards lying around.Quick Advice: Smite is a “nice-to-have” for beginners. Prioritize healing and rush effects first, then add this later.3. On Rush Sets – Speed Up Your Game
On Rush triggers bonuses when you use rush skills, making it a priority for fast-paced builds.Easy Start: Desert Swallowed by Darkness
Cards: Three green cards from Cinderlands. Why It’s Awesome: 100% farmable and gives a solid On Rush effect. Perfect for early-game.Mid-Game: Moonwater Blue Boss Set
Cards: Lyon and Saivi boss cards from Mistywood. Perk: Stronger On Rush effect. Alt Option: Grab a four-card set from blue dungeons (Brightstone Ruin, Pigsty, Spider Nest). Great for alts farming these spots.Elite Choice: Animosity
Cards: Poharan + Tomb of Exiles. Why It’s the Best: Only two cards for On Rush level 8—insanely efficient and powerful. Farm Trick: Solo blue dungeons with your main once you’re overgeared. Cards drop faster.Community Hype: Players on X rave about Animosity for its bond efficiency. Snag that Poharan card, and you’re golden.How to Farm Cards Like a Pro
Farming cards doesn’t have to be a soul-crushing grind. Here’s how to do it smart:Fuse for Legendaries: Combine five green or blue cards from the same region for a chance at higher-tier cards. Every fuse earns mileage, which can get you a Legendary Portrait Selection Chest (think Gin Soyun or Master Hong).Wheel of Fate: The Auto-Free Wheel in Moonwater is your go-to for purple cards. It’s the only wheel there that drops them, and it costs just one Homeo Blessing (later regions charge two).
Dungeon Runs: Once you’re strong enough (level 45–50ish), solo blue dungeons like Pigsty or Spider Nest. If a card drops, it’s yours—no sharing required.F2P Reality Check: Fusing is RNG-heavy and gold-hungry. Stick to dungeon drops and wheels early on, and save your gold for gear upgrades.
