Team Usage

Zaishen Death Leveling in action

Build in use.

  • Create a N/R or R/N PvP character, so you don't need to spend any money getting the necessary gear.
  • If are using a PvP character remember to release your pet first; you will need to do this everytime you enter the menagerie.
  • Find the pet you've unlocked and want to charm in the Menagerie.
  • Rangerspike all the pets of the same species except one.
  • Turn the surviving pet hostile by autoattacking it once (it won't attack you).
  • Lock your Mo/Me heroes onto the pet (With blackout, they will follow it around, but can't attack it without a mainhand weapon).
  • Sac yourself (at around 30DP you will automatically die upon ressing if you have a vamp weapon and 5 superior runes equipped, or 15DP if you additionally use -50HP Deadly Cesta [exception is Dervish], which also needs 1-handed weapon to use).
  • Go afk.
  • The heroes will automatically res you and follow the pet around, making sure it gets experience.
  • After about 14 minutes, the pet should be level 20 and Hearty (even if it's name hasn't updated when you highlight it).
  • When you want to charm it, spam a weaponswap so that when you res you don't die automatically, and use Charm Animal.
  • You can also use the Ranger hero to charm the animal.
  • Show your new level 20 Hearty pet to the Tamer to unlock all evolutions of that pet.

Counters

  • Disconnecting

Notes

  • This method doesn't work for the Rainbow Phoenix, since it only spawns if you are alone with no heroes.
  • After first death, if you still have more than 1HP, you have to wait for 14 seconds since being resurrected to get more DP.
