Early Progression Guide

Note: This guide is based on community experience.

Early progression in Dicero is less about finding one perfect build and more about learning when to change direction. If a chapter suddenly feels too hard, the answer is often a mix of weapon choice, upgrade priority, and repeating earlier stages for resources.

Common Early Game Problems

Chapter 4 Stuck

Problem: Players frequently get stuck at Chapter 4.

Solutions from community:

• Switch to Sword for single-target bosses
• Use Hammer for AOE-heavy stages
• Don’t give up after 2-3 failed attempts

Recommended Approach

1. Single-target boss stages: Use Sword weapon
2. AOE stages: Use Hammer weapon
3. Resource management: Run older stages for gold/rolls if stuck

Weapon Selection

• Sword: Single target, good for bosses
• Hammer: AOE, good for mob stages
• Staff: Ranged/magic, specialized use

What to Do Before Changing Builds

Before abandoning a route, check three things:

1. Enemy type: If the stage is mostly single-target pressure, try a Sword-focused setup. If waves are the issue, Hammer-style AOE can be more forgiving.
2. Upgrade timing: A build may feel weak before its first key upgrade. Do not judge every route after one bad roll.
3. Account growth: If you are underpowered, rerunning older stages for gold or rolls can be more efficient than forcing the same wall.
