Epic Seven Guide: Complete Progression, Hunts, and ML5 Selector Tier List

Master Epic Seven with our comprehensive progression guide. Learn Wyvern 13 team builds, ML5 selector priorities, Specialty Changes, and gear strategies.

Stepping into the vast world of Orbis can quickly overwhelm new and returning players with its intricate gearing systems, extensive character rosters, and multi-layered currencies. Whether you are launching an account on a fresh server or optimizing an established roster, following a structured Epic Seven guide is the most reliable way to avoid wasting valuable resources and hitting early progression walls. This in-depth Epic Seven guide covers everything from early account setup and Moonlight 5-star (ML5) selector strategies to building an impenetrable Wyvern 13 auto team and prioritizing high-impact Specialty Change heroes.

Account Setup, Platform Selection, and Server Strategy

Beginning your journey on the right foot saves countless hours of rebuilding down the road. When launching on newer environments like the Foundry server or regional servers, name reservations and early milestone rewards offer immense leverage. However, technical execution matters just as much as in-game decisions.

According to widespread player experience and community reports, the native PC client on platforms like Steam can experience severe stability issues and crashes during initial chapter quests or heavy server launches. To prevent progression locks, players frequently recommend running the game via the official Stove PC client, mobile devices, or stable Android emulators. You can verify system requirements and download clients directly via the Epic Seven Official Stove Community.

If you plan to reroll for premier covenant heroes or artifacts, keep in mind that re-rolling may forfeit pre-selected account nicknames depending on how account reset protocols function. Weigh the cosmetic value of a unique account handle against securing an optimal starting roster.

Platform / Client	Stability Rating	Setup Complexity	Best Used For
Official Stove PC Client	High	Low	Primary desktop farming, multi-hour auto-battling
Mobile (iOS / Android)	Very High	Very Low	Daily missions, quick inventory checks, shop refreshes
Steam Client	Moderate (Reported launch crashes)	Low	Casual play, Steam wallet transactions
Android Emulators	High	Moderate	Macro-free background runs, streaming setups

Milestone Radiance: ML5 Selector and Chest Priority

One of the most consequential account milestones is reaching Level 5 of the Milestone Radiance system, which grants a 5-star Moonlight Hero Selector. Later progression milestones (such as Level 20) award curated Moonlight Radiance Chests. These chests offer three distinct, non-duplicate 5-star Moonlight options up to recent hero releases like Lady of the Scales.

A critical tip highlighted by veteran player experience: do not open your Moonlight selector immediately. Store the selector ticket safely in your mailbox while spending early-game Covenant Bookmarks and Galaxy Bookmarks. Summons can yield a random ML5; holding your selector guarantees you avoid pulling a duplicate of the hero you just selected.

The Top ML5 Selector Picks

Lady of the Scales: Outstanding universal utility across both high-end PvE challenges and competitive PvP formats. Her defensive and cleansing kit fits almost any team composition without demanding extreme gear thresholds.
Zio: The undisputed speed contest king. His passive push grants him near-guaranteed turn-one initiation in PvP and Real-Time Arena (RTA). While RTA seasons often launch weeks after new server openings, securing Zio guarantees long-term drafting supremacy.
New Moon Luna: Exceptional control capabilities capable of dismantling standard enemy counter-mechanisms and passive skills.
Arbiter Vildred (Arby): Although older, his self-revive, immediate turn-cycling, and turn-resetting AoE damage make him an unrivaled early PvE campaign clearer and an annoying early-arena defense unit.

In any modern Epic Seven guide, understanding the priority tiers for three-choice non-duplicate Radiance Chests is essential. If a chest yields options across tiers, always pick left-to-right from the highest available tier.

Tier	Heroes	Primary Strengths	Best Game Modes
S-Tier	Lady of the Scales, Zio, New Moon Luna	Meta-defining passives, turn control, flexible drafting	RTA, Arena Offense/Defense, Abyss
A-Tier	Arbiter Vildred, Ruele of Light, Conqueror Lilias	Reliable resurrections, universal dual attacks, rapid wave clearing	PvE Adventure, Guild War, Standard PvP
B-Tier	Bellona (Lone Crescent), Witch of the Miracles	Strong counter-play kits, high single-target burst damage	Guild War Offense, Counter-cleave RTA
C/D-Tier	Operator Sigret, Specimen Sez, Judge Kise	Highly specialized, gear-dependent, niche draft tools	Specific counter picks, late-game fun builds

The Road to Wyvern 13: Core Gear Farming Strategy

Gear dictates success in Orbis far more than raw character rarity. Wyvern Hunt 13 provides the two most critical equipment sets in the entire game: Speed and Critical Hit. Speed gear is used by roughly 80% of the game's roster, making an automated Wyvern 13 team your number-one PvE objective.

A standard rule in every PvE Epic Seven guide is that Wyvern 13 requires a minimum of two to three consistent debuffs applied to the boss at all times. If the Wyvern does not have at least two debuffs, it will attack randomly instead of targeting your frontline tank, instantly wiping your fragile damage dealers.

F2P Wyvern 13 Team Blueprint

You do not need rare 5-star Moonlight units to conquer this hunt. The most reliable team uses completely free-to-play or readily accessible 3-star and 4-star heroes:

Frontline Tank: Angelica or Angelic Montmorancy (Free connections/specialty change).
Primary Defense Breaker: Furious (Unlocked via Hero Connections).
Debuffer / Sub-DPS: Muwi (3-star Ice Thief; passively lowers gear requirements via team-wide Combat Readiness push).
Main DPS: Sigret (Acquired completely free from the permanent Hunt Challenge event).

Hero	Artifact Recommendation	Target Speed	Critical Hit Damage	Effectiveness Benchmark
Sigret	Daydream Joker (+30)	160–175	280%+	65%
Muwi	Daydream Joker (+30)	150–165	250%+	65%
Furious	Song of Stars / Daydream Joker	190–210	Moderate	65% (Mandatory)
Angelic Montmorancy	Proof of Valor / Rod of Amaryllis	150+	N/A (Focus HP/DEF)	0% (Needs 20k+ HP, 1.4k+ DEF)

Note: All offensive units need exactly 65% Effectiveness. Any Effectiveness above 65% is wasted in Wyvern 13 due to the innate 15% absolute resistance mechanic.

High-Value Specialty Change (SC) Units

Do not overlook 3-star heroes. Through the Specialty Change system, select 3-star characters unlock expanded skill trees that elevate their base stats and utilities to match—or even surpass—standard natural 5-star heroes. Specialty Change heroes require no MolaGora to enhance their skills, relying solely on common catalysts and elemental runes.

Following a reliable Epic Seven guide means investing your early Spirit Altar energy into the characters that unlock broad PvE and PvP accessibility without depleting rare skill-enhancement materials.

Reach Hero Level 50 ➔ Complete SC Quests ➔ Clear Spirit Altars ➔ Maximize Skill Tree Runes

Essential Specialty Change Priorities

Adventurer Ras (A.Ras): The gold standard for PvE knights. Provides reliable Defense Break, team-wide Defense Buffs, self-healing, and an on-demand dual attack pulling your highest attack unit.
Angelic Montmorancy (A.Momo): A relentless cleanser who cycles turn-meter with extreme rapidity. Indispensable for Abyss floors, Raid labyrinths, and Wyvern tanking.
Falconer Kluri (F.Kluri): Brings a non-attack Dispel, Provoke, and Defense Break that completely bypasses elemental disadvantage.
Silvertide Christy: A top-tier defensive PvP asset capable of transferring massive amounts of Effect Resistance to your backline carry, effectively neutralizing control-heavy arena defenses.

Hero	Base Star Level	Primary Role	Essential Runes to Maximize First	Best Content
Adventurer Ras	3-Star	Knight / Utility Support	Solitude Rune (Dual Attack damage), Health Rune	Abyss, Hall of Trials, Nightmare Raid
Angelic Montmorancy	3-Star	Soul Weaver / Cleanser	Mercy Rune (Continuous cleanse), Faith Rune	Wyvern 13, Hell Raid, Early PvP
Falconer Kluri	3-Star	Knight / Single-Target Lock	Speed Rune, Achievement Rune (Turn cycling)	Ancient Inheritance, Guild War Offense
Silvertide Christy	3-Star	Knight / ER Support	Harmony Rune (Resistance transfer), Guard Rune	RTA, Arena Anti-Debuff Defense

Resource Management: Currencies, Summons, and Pet Optimization

Resource efficiency distinguishes top-tier accounts from stagnant ones. Epic Seven provides generous amounts of premium currency (Skystones), but careless spending can drain your reserves right before critical collaboration or limited banner releases.

Following this resource-focused Epic Seven guide will safeguard your wallet and ensure you always have enough resources to hit pity (121 summons) on mandatory banners:

Secret Shop Refreshing: Once your account reaches maximum rank, refreshing the Secret Shop using Skystones yields substantially more Covenant Bookmarks and Mystic Medals per Skystone than buying bookmark packs directly from the store. This process requires significant gold reserves.
Custom Group Summons: Prioritize limited units (such as Landy, Cerise, or Seaside Bellona) and essential artifacts (like Guiding Light or Star of the Deep Sea). Never pull on group banners unless you have banked enough summons to guarantee your target via the banner coin shop.
Pet System Automation: Unlock your Pet House as soon as possible. Focus on assembling a dedicated 4-star or 5-star Hunt Pet equipped with three S-tier skills: increased equipment drop rate, chance for double crafting materials, and bonus reforge materials.

Resource Type	Primary Source	Recommended Usage	Common Trap to Avoid
Skystones	Weekly Arena, Dailies, NPC Arena	Secret shop refreshes, energy during hunt buffs	Buying the 950 Skystone bookmark pack
MolaGora	Weekly plant shops, events, web events	Core skill thresholds (-1 turn cooldowns)	Upgrading basic skill (+S1) damage on pure supports
Gold	Wyvern 13, Hunt Events	Gear crafting, gear enhancing, secret shop	Blindly leveling low-substat Level 70-85 gear
Powder of Knowledge	Selling 3/4/5-star Artifacts	Purchasing limited 5-star Artifacts in shop	Selling unique or non-maxed 4-star utility artifacts

Mid-Game Transition: Expanding Beyond Wyvern

Once your Wyvern 13 team runs on auto with a 90%+ success rate, your progression naturally diversifies. As you advance past the initial stages mapped out in this Epic Seven guide, you will shift your attention to Azimanak 13 (for Rage sets used in one-shot PvE teams and Immunity sets for PvP), Banshee 13 (for Counter and Destruction sets), and Nightmare Raid.

Build your team rosters deliberately. Do not spread your equipment across 30 different heroes at once. Focus on six to eight core units, consolidate your best reforged Level 90 gear onto them, and conquer one PvE milestone at a time before dedicating heavy resources to competitive Real-Time Arena.

Frequently Asked Questions About Epic Seven

Who should I pick from the Level 5 Milestone Radiance selector?

If you lack a premier turn-one initiator or universal neutral anchor, Lady of the Scales and Zio are the consensus top recommendations. Lady of the Scales provides effortless utility across nearly all team archetypes, while Zio completely controls turn-priority in competitive PvP.

Should I play Epic Seven on Steam or the Stove client?

According to initial player experiences on new servers, the Steam version can suffer from unexpected crashes during story cutscenes. For uninterrupted progression and reliable multi-hour gear farming, the official Stove PC client or a reputable mobile emulator remains the preferred method.

Why is Wyvern 13 prioritized over Banshee or Golem?

Speed is the fundamental metric governing turn cycling in both PvE and PvP combat. Wyvern 13 drops the Speed set, which provides immediate value to roughly 80% of all heroes in the game. Golem sets (Health, Defense, Attack) are generally inefficient compared to the raw stat value gained from Speed and secondary stats.

How often should I check an updated Epic Seven guide?

Because balance patches, hero awakenings, and specialty changes roll out regularly, reviewing an up-to-date Epic Seven guide every few months ensures you do not waste MolaGora or reforge materials on out-of-date team compositions or power-crept units.
