After each Reincarnation, you reset to level 1 and must re-level to your target. The speed of this re-leveling process determines the total time investment of each cycle. This guide provides the optimal leveling route after each Reincarnation cycle, with specific stage recommendations and Cheat Shop configurations that minimize re-leveling time.
Post-Reincarnation Leveling Fundamentals
The key principle for fast re-leveling is that your enhanced base stats make you stronger at level 1 than a first-time player at level 50-100. This means you can clear harder stages at lower levels, earning more EXP per clear.
Stat Comparison: Reincarnated vs. First-Time
| Stat | Level 1 (No Reincarnation) | Level 1 (After 3 Cycles) |
|---|---|---|
| ATK | 10 | ~15 (base × 1.5) |
| DEF | 8 | ~12 |
| HP | 100 | ~150 |
| Effective Combat Level | ~10 | ~40-50 |
The effective combat level boost from Reincarnation means you can start farming mid-game stages immediately instead of grinding through early story content again.
Cycle-Specific Leveling Routes
After 1st Reincarnation (Target: Level 300-500)
| Level Range | Stage | Cheat Shop Settings | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-30 | Story stages (any) | 10x EXP, 1-3 stars | 20 min |
| 30-100 | Netherworld Arena | 10x EXP, 3-5 stars | 45 min |
| 100-300 | Netherworld Arena | 10x EXP, 5-8 stars | 2 hours |
| 300-500 | Crimson Gate | 10x EXP, 5-8 stars | 2-3 hours |
Total time: Approximately 5-6 hours to reach level 500
Key insight: After your first Reincarnation, the Netherworld Arena becomes farmable at much lower levels because your base stats are higher. Start farming it at level 30 instead of waiting until level 100.
After 2nd Reincarnation (Target: Level 1,000-2,000)
| Level Range | Stage | Cheat Shop Settings | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-50 | Netherworld Arena | 10x EXP, 3-5 stars | 30 min |
| 50-300 | Netherworld Arena | 10x EXP, 5-8 stars | 1.5 hours |
| 300-1,000 | Crimson Gate | 10x EXP, 8-10 stars | 3-4 hours |
| 1,000-2,000 | Land of Carnage | 10x EXP, 8-12 stars | 5-8 hours |
Total time: Approximately 10-14 hours to reach level 2,000
After 3rd+ Reincarnation (Target: Level 3,000+)
| Level Range | Stage | Cheat Shop Settings | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-100 | Netherworld Arena | 10x EXP, 5-8 stars | 45 min |
| 100-1,000 | Crimson Gate → Land of Carnage | 10x EXP, 8-12 stars | 4-6 hours |
| 1,000-3,000 | Land of Carnage (max) | 10x EXP, 12-15 stars | 8-12 hours |
| 3,000-9,999 | Land of Carnage (max) | 10x EXP, 15-20 stars | 15-25 hours |
Total time: Approximately 28-45 hours to reach level 9,999
Cheat Shop Configuration for Post-Reincarnation Leveling
The Cheat Shop settings should be adjusted at each level range to match your growing power:
| Level Range | Enemy Strength | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1-50 | 3-5 stars | Low level, need easy clears |
| 50-300 | 5-8 stars | Enhanced stats handle moderate difficulty |
| 300-1,000 | 8-10 stars | Strong enough for harder content |
| 1,000+ | 10-15 stars | Endgame-level stats enable high difficulty |
Always keep EXP at 10x and combine with Dark Assembly EXP bills for 12x effective multiplier.
Mana Farming During Re-Leveling
Re-leveling after Reincarnation is the best time to farm Mana. Since your level is low relative to the content you're clearing (thanks to enhanced base stats), you earn more Mana per kill:
| Level Difference | Mana Multiplier | Example |
|---|---|---|
| You at same level | 1.0x | You: Lv 100, Enemy: Lv 100 |
| You 10 levels below | 1.5x | You: Lv 90, Enemy: Lv 100 |
| You 50 levels below | 2.5x | You: Lv 50, Enemy: Lv 100 |
| You 100+ levels below | 4.0x | You: Lv 1, Enemy: Lv 100 |
Strategy: After Reincarnation, farm the highest-level stage you can clear efficiently. The level gap maximizes both EXP (from Cheat Shop) and Mana (from the gap multiplier). This dual-purpose farming is the most time-efficient approach to post-Reincarnation progression.
FAQ
How long does it take to re-level after Reincarnation?
With 10x EXP and Dark Assembly bonuses (12x effective), re-leveling from 1 to 500 takes approximately 5-6 hours, and 1 to 2,000 takes approximately 10-14 hours. Without Cheat Shop optimization, these times double or triple.
Should I push to 9,999 before each Reincarnation?
No. Pushing to 9,999 before each cycle is extremely time-inefficient. Reincarnate at the recommended levels (150 → 500 → 1,000 → 3,000 → 9,999) to maximize yellow bar fill per hour invested. Higher Reincarnation levels provide more yellow bar fill, but the time cost grows faster than the benefit.
Can I use Item World for re-leveling?
Yes. Item World runs provide EXP while simultaneously enhancing your equipment. This dual-purpose activity is time-efficient but slower than dedicated farming stages. Use Item World for early levels (1-50) when farming stages aren't yet accessible.
What happens to my equipment during Reincarnation?
All equipment remains equipped and functional. Your enhanced weapons and armor continue to provide their full stat bonuses at level 1. This means a freshly Reincarnated character with enhanced equipment is significantly stronger than a first-time level 1 character — the foundation that makes fast re-leveling possible.
When is the best time to Reincarnate my Battle Buddies?
Reincarnate your primary Offensive Buddy after your main character completes 2-3 cycles. The Buddy's Reincarnation is cheaper and provides moderate gains that compound with your character's enhanced stats.
