Expert Progression Path (Justus included) — Maximizing Sigils for F2P & Low Spenders
Ton's updated Expert path: Cyrille 30–40 → Agnes 40–50 → Baldur 80 → Valeria 80 → rush Justus to 80 at Gen6. Championship shop = Sigils only; no Common Sigils on Romulus or Gareth.
Bottom line — this path is built to maximize Sigil income. Cyrille 30–40 → Agnes 40–50 → Baldur 80 → Valeria 80 → start saving mid-Gen5 → rush Justus to 80 at Gen6. Spend no Common Sigils on Holger, Romulus, Fabian, Ronne, Kathy or Gareth.
🗺️ Progression path in order
Gen3. Use Common Sigils. Cheap — most skills open at 40–50. Let her grow naturally afterwards.
Extra Intel missions, Mystery Badges, free refreshes, gathering chests. The sweet spot.
End of Gen3. Alliance Championship shop = Sigils only. Dump them into Baldur at Gen4.
Gen4 top priority. Skills 2 & 4 give +24 Sigils/month.
Extra SvS Prep milestones. Expensive, but F2P can get there.
Holger (Ton's pick) / Fabian / Kathy. Spread to 50, push only your favourite to 80.
Save 200–250+ from mid-Gen5 → max him at the first Gen6 event.
📅 Unlock order by state progression
| When | Expert | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Gen3 (~day 120) | Cyrille · Agnes · Holger | Bear Trap · economy/Intel · Arena |
| Gen3 +~40 days | Romulus | Combat/rally (whale expert) |
| Gen4 | Baldur · Valeria · Fabian | Alliance events · SvS · Foundry/Tundra League |
| Gen4 +~1 month | Ronne · Kathy | Alliance Showdown trucks · Frostfire Mine |
| Gen5 | Gareth | Combat (infirmary, healing) — whale expert |
| Gen6 (Oct 2026) | Justus | Boosts Expert growth (books, affinity, Sigils) |
Justus is the last new Expert of 2026 (official). More are expected in 2027.
💰 Sigil income what F2P lacks most
Extra Championship purchases ≈3/week (12/month) + extra Showdown milestones 12/month
2 Sigils per Prep day × 5 days (+6,000 affinity · ~1,000 books)
$10/month. About the same as Baldur. Recommended for any low spender
Nowhere near whales, but a big difference
🛒 Alliance Championship shop = Sigils only
Save badges from mid-Gen2 → buy Sigils from the start of Gen3
- Buy nothing but Sigils in this shop (Ton's strong recommendation).
- Purchase cap is 15/week by default → +5 = 20 with Baldur skill 2 maxed.
- Unless you are top 1 in Ultimate League you can't buy all 20 even with Baldur maxed. Most Gen4 alliances struggle to buy 15 → that's why Baldur's badge boost matters.
⭐ Baldur — only skills 2 & 4 matter
| Skill | Effect | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alliance Mobilization points (one-time: Fire Crystal, XP components, Charm Designs…) | meh |
| 2 Honored Conquest | More Championship badges (subtitles: "30–40%") + Sigil purchase cap +5 | ⭐ core |
| 3 | Crazy Joe points + Chief Gear | meh |
| 4 Dawn Hymn | More Alliance Showdown points (except Tundra Trade Route) + extra milestones: 1,200 books · 6,000 affinity · 12 Sigils | ⭐ core |
Skill requirements follow the same pattern for every Expert — most skills at Lv.50, all skills marked at Lv.80.
📋 Verdict per Expert F2P & low spenders
| Expert | Verdict | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cyrille | 30–40 → natural growth | Bear Trap. Unusually cheap |
| Agnes | 40–50 | Intel missions & Mystery Badges are "insane" |
| Baldur | ⭐ 80 first | Skills 2 & 4 |
| Valeria | ⭐ 80 | Prep points + extra milestones. Expensive |
| Justus | ⭐ 80 at Gen6 | 440 Sigils to max / ≈280–300 for Lv.80 (datamined) |
| Holger | ~30 if spare → later | Arena coins & discount. Ton's first choice after Valeria |
| Kathy | later | Hard to rank top 10 in the Mine without her; a few more Charms |
| Fabian | only if you play it | Foundry, Tundra League, holding buildings |
| Ronne | very low | Showdown truck refreshes / extra loot. Weak rewards |
| Romulus | 0 Common Sigils | Whale expert |
| Gareth | don't touch | Even more of a whale expert than Romulus. Infirmary, healing, training chests |
Exception: during SvS, if you're only 2–3 Sigils short of a level that scores points, spend them on a non-priority Expert.
🚧 40–50 vs 80
At 40–50 most skills are already open. The last skill levels cost a crazy amount of speedups and books, and Sigil cost explodes from 50 to 80. → Take everyone to 50, push only the one you really care about to 80.
🔮 Preparing for Justus mid-Gen5 → Gen6
Save from Gen5.5 → Lv.80 at the first Gen6 event/SvS
- Target stock: 200–250+ Sigils, plus as many books as possible.
- Cost (datamined, not final): 440 Sigils to max, 280–300 for all skills at Lv.80. Book cost is unclear — the video mentions both 73k and 33.5k.
- Even Lv.50 opens 6–7/10 skill levels → maxed within 1–2 months. Roughly "a maxed Holger" in cost.
- Skills (official preview): Dynasty Honor Chests from exploration · more Labyrinth Glowstones · extra Pet Adventure attempts/double rewards · chests from beast rallies · chests from Tundra Trek encounters.
🧭 After Gen6
Sigil-giving events (Mobilization, Showdown, SvS Prep) already have an Expert — only King of Icefield doesn't. The next Experts are unlikely to boost Expert growth.
Options: save for the next Expert (timing and value unknown) or push the one you want to 80 — Charms = Kathy · hero gear/Arena shop = Holger · Tundra League & rally leading (mid spenders) = Fabian (+150k rally, far easier than maxed Romulus's +100k).
Mid spenders often spread several Experts to 10–15 (Romulus 10, Fabian & Valeria 15).
📈 Extra income
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Buy extra Tundra Treks | F2P gets 40/day (20 at reset + 10×2) → buying 20 more = +50%. Do it daily if you can. (Ton pauses for a month when low on Lucky Wheel gems) |
| $5 pack | Every 2 weeks, 10 Sigils. The $20 tier unlocks after the lower pack — buying everything is ~$50/month (per subtitles). Check value on Torxim |
| Wander Theater | A chance to grab a lot of Sigils |
