Plan your next UNDECEMBER: The Farside session
Our independent guide breaks down UNDECEMBER's open systems, helping you evaluate builds, rune upgrades, and mode choices. By focusing on documented mechanics, you can shape a playstyle that fits your preferences without relying on hidden tricks or paid upgrades.
01 / THE GUIDE
Analyzing Enemy Waves
Run two battles: one against a single strong foe and another against a dense crowd. Record the strength gained in each to see how enemy density influences progression.
- Focus on abilities that hit multiple targets to accelerate growth.
- Position yourself to keep enemies clustered for efficient clearing.
02 / THE GUIDE
Testing Build Flexibility
Swap a Strength melee weapon for a Dexterity bow while keeping the same rune setup. Compare damage output and crowd control to understand cross‑type synergy.
- Experiment with mixing skill types to discover unexpected synergies.
- Revisit gear choices regularly to keep builds effective.
03 / THE GUIDE
Prioritizing Rune Upgrades
Upgrade a Link Rune before its paired Skill Rune, then repeat with the Skill Rune first. Note the difference in ability potency to decide upgrade order.
- Upgrade Link Runes first to amplify multiple Skill Runes simultaneously.
- Farm quest rewards early to acquire higher‑grade runes.
04 / THE GUIDE
Comparing Game Modes
Complete a short run in Chaos Dungeon and a Boss Raid. Contrast loot quality, difficulty, and required team size to choose the mode that matches your current build.
- Join a guild early to benefit from exclusive buffs.
- Enter Chaos Dungeon after completing Acts for higher‑level loot.
05 / THE GUIDE
Optimizing Controller Settings
Activate full controller support and adjust button mapping and sensitivity. Test skill activation speed during a large‑scale fight to fine‑tune responsiveness.
