Best Musashimaru Build in Dark War Survival (Skill Upgrade Order + Gear Priority)

When building Masashimaru in Dark War Survival, you have some important choices to make in order to get the biggest bang for your buck as you simply can’t upgrade all heroes at the same time but you need quite a bunch to build your squads.

By fine-tuning the way you upgrade Masashimaru’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.

Masashimaru’s Team Setups

Use our new squad planner to see how your ideal lineups look like not just with Masashimaru. It also let you exclude heroes you haven’t built or mark heroes as not fully built and you can see how that changes your ideal lineup:

Masashimaru’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 Dark War Survival. Also upgrading gear gets very expensive and you simply can’t just pump all your Upgrade Ore randomly on gear.

You’re not using Masashimaru actively so equip whatever leftover gear you have early but do not invest in any gear really.

Masashimaru’s Optimal Skill Upgrade Order

Upgrading skills is possible after you get Masashimaru 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 Masashimaru so you only spend the Skill Books where they actually provide good value.

Attention!Skill Reset Penalty: You can reset a hero’s skill levels, unlike character experience resets, you lose 10% of the invested Skill Books in the process, so plan upgrades carefully

Conclusion

I hope this guide helped you to build your Masashimaru without just pumping your books into the skills. I assure you this will make your progress in Dark War Survival a lot faster and get the biggest bang for your buck in terms of making the skills rock that really make a big impact espcially as costs get higher and higher.
