By fine-tuning the way you upgrade Acorn Scout’s skills and gear, you can save yourself quite some Skill Books and Universal Shards in the process and as not all skills have the same amount of impact but have the same amount of costs leveling up, fine-tuning them is worth it in the end.

Acorn Scout’s Optimal Gear Setup(s)
Now we have to take a look at the gear setup, as it takes a lot of time and resources to craft higher rarity gear and not all gear is as impactful as the other one and you have to gear a couple of heroes in Top Heroes. Also upgrading gear gets very expensive and you simply can’t just pump all your Upgrade Ore randomly on gear.

Acorn Scout’s Optimal Skill Upgrade Order
Upgrading skills is possible after you get Acorn Scout to 1-Star and then you will be able to upgrade each skill in 5-level increments. While the first skill levels are rather easy and cheap, it will start to eat quite a bit into your Skill Books and as you can’t produce them, you might end up with half-built heroes. So, here is the order you should work on the skills for Acorn Scout so you only spend the Skill Books where they actually provide good value.
