Rules checklist: Trading guide · Wiki · Trading.
Quick path (most accounts)
- Profile → Codes — claim free RR.
- Upgrades → Mandra — trait your main DPS only.
- Boss / Rift shops — convert weekly tokens/shards into more RR.
- Evolve only after stats (and preferably trait) are acceptable.
- Trade only at 50+ and only if you accept trait wipe.
FAQ
I can’t find Mandra
Stay in the main lobby, look for the Upgrades zone labels. If UI moved after a patch, check the Wiki Trait Rerolls page for the current NPC name.
Why did my trait disappear after trading?
By design on unit trades: traits and pities are removed. Plan before you send a Monarch unit.
