Godforge Alpha Caverns: How to 2-Star Every Challenge
In this article, we dive deep into the Godforge Alpha Caverns and walk you through how to 2-star every buff/debuff-specific floor challenge. We will also briefly touch on faction-based team-building, this guide will help you maximize your progress and take the guesswork out of challenge completion.
What Does “2-Starring” Mean?
Each floor in the Caverns presents two bonus objectives. Meeting both rewards you with a full 2-star clear. These objectives range from defeating the stage with specific faction compositions to applying certain buffs or debuffs in battle.
With limited resources available in the Alpha, it can be tricky to know which heroes apply “Retaliate,” “Accuracy Down,” or “Blaze.” This guide breaks down all the common floor challenges and tells you who to bring and what to look out for.

Rare Mechanics
Some floors may seem impossible if you’re missing specific legendary or epic units. Many objectives are tied to rare units, so try checking hero passives, awakenings, and set bonuses (like Tremor for stun).
If a challenge feels out of reach, don’t worry—just revisit it later once your roster expands.
Final Tips
Use the in-game faction filters and hero info pages to match floor requirements.
- Check for buffs/debuffs locked behind awakenings.
- Keep commons and rares geared up—they’re key for niche objectives.
- Refer back to previous floors when buff combinations repeat.
