Deserted Lands Hunting Ground Guide
We have gone through basics of Hunting Grounds in a comprehensive guide that you can see here.
But now its time to look at the individual hunts themselves. In this article we are going to look to answer:
- What are the team restrictions?
- Which heroes can I use?
- Which heroes standout amongst all those available?
- How many stages are there?
- How many steps are required in each stage?
And perhaps some more, so lets dive in!
Deserted Lands Team Restrictions
Deserted Lands is the final Hunting Ground that players will encounter. The team restrictions here: NO Archlands allies.
We would say players will encounter this Hunting Ground in the latter stages of the beta, after you have gone through “Orandi Village” campaign stages. Two of your early hunters (Leo & Reed) are Archlands, so you will not be able to rely on these any further – instead you will have to branch out to other Heroes you have developed throughout progression of the game.
Which Hunters Stand Out Here?
This is going to be one of the hardest Hunts you face, purely because the amount of valuable Archlands Hunters that you will not be able to use this time around.
Thankfully, we have all invested in Nadia (hopefully) as a strong Tank Support for your team, paired with the healing from Lanthe will be a great addition to your team.
In terms of budget options to fill the gaps if you’ve not been lucky enough to pull some of the Legendary Hunters that fit the bill here, Arbias can be a valuable damage dealer to help you get through the stages, paired with Bomor as well.
In terms of the elusive legendaries, Besemin can be very interesting with her unpredictable special skill, Ashei can bring some huge damage through the means of poison.
Which Bosses Will I Face?
When you click a Hunting Ground, you will see your “prey” in the middle of the screen.
This is the boss you will face if you were to enter the Hunting Ground now.
On the right hand side, where your Hunting Ground quests are. You will usually see 3 which say “Hunt down the Prey: X”
These are the other possible bosses in rotation for the level hunting ground you are on. Each one will have its own unique effects on the Hunting Ground which you can see above the middle image of the prey.
How Many Levels Are There In Deep Wilds?
Just like all the other Hunting Grounds, there are a total of 8 levels in Deserted Lands. Each one getting progressively harder than the last.
At level 8 the boss caps out at Lvl 66 with supporting minions possibly being up to Lvl 66 as well. So we suggest making sure your party is at least Hunt Rank 5-6 (lvl 60-70)
How Many Steps Are There In Each Level? How Much Energy Will It Cost?
Just like most games in the genre, the further you progress into a dungeon the higher the energy cost is and the harder it gets. Hunting Grounds in Void Hunters is no different.
The longer the map length is (the more steps you have to take), the higher the Void Menace level can possibly get. See below for a breakdown of each levels energy cost and map length.
| Level | Energy Cost | Map Length |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 | 9 |
| 2 | 14 | 10 |
| 3 | 16 | 12 |
| 4 | 18 | 13 |
| 5 | 20 | 15 |
| 6 | 22 | 16 |
| 7 | 23 | 17 |
| 8 | 24 | 18 |
