In the world of Douluo Continent Soul Hunting, for the vast majority of casual players, how to cleverly use limited resources to achieve maximum benefits and steadily advance from the basics to more advanced stages is a highly strategic art. Let me, as the editor, explain in detail how to play Douluo Continent Soul Hunting as a casual player. Below, I will introduce everything from the easily accessible ways to obtain free SSR martial souls, to the high cost-effectiveness treasures hidden within SR martial souls, and the exquisite pairing art of soul bones and soul rings.
The game offers shortcuts for obtaining free SSRs, which are tailored welfare channels for casual players. To acquire the Sky-Hammer, one only needs to participate in the public beta event "Sky-Hammer Emerges," log in consistently for 7 days, and actively complete activity tasks. The Soft-Boned Rabbit is even easier to get, being a reward for new player tasks; players can claim it by logging in on the 3rd day to receive the login gift. The Seven Treasures Pagoda is also not hard to obtain, either by choosing the 1-yuan first recharge package for a guaranteed base, or by gradually accumulating through daily bounty tasks, thus unlocking this powerful auxiliary martial soul with ease.
When it comes to SR martial souls, some of the most cost-effective options should not be missed. The Nether Spirit Cat, whose soul ring originates from low-level soul beasts like the Ice Frost Tiger and the Frozen Phantom Eagle in the Star Dou Great Forest, is naturally suited for an agile attack playstyle. The Evil Fire Phoenix requires daily expeditions in the Meltfire Cavern, and once acquired, its unique Burning Oath effect can stack up to 5 layers, providing explosive sustained damage. There's also the Nine-Star Seven-Kill Sword, which can be obtained by completing sect missions after joining a guild of three or more members.
Regarding the combination of soul bones and soul rings, there are quite a few considerations. For example, for a Soul Master wielding the Sky-Hammer, the best setup would be a right arm soul bone that grants armor-piercing power and a right leg soul bone that boosts critical hit attributes. In combat, prioritize enhancing the second skill to instantly unleash greater power. When controlling the Seven Treasures Pagoda, a torso soul bone can provide group shields to protect teammates, a left leg soul bone can accelerate soul power recovery, and reducing the cooldown of the Oath is key to controlling the battlefield. As for soul ring selection, early on, the Blue Silver Grass school should use the Hellflower as a foundation for the 1-3 rings, and switch to the Sky Azure Ox Python after reaching 6 rings to improve quality.
If following the burning route, the Fire Dragon, Fiery Wolf, and Meltfire Heart can ignite the battle passion. After 8 rings, focus on stacking the burn layers to the maximum. Casual players' resource planning should still emphasize cost-effectiveness. Among daily tasks, bounty tasks are a must, especially those involving raids, which refresh every 2 hours and offer generous rewards including gold and precious soul power, making them unmissable. While gathering tasks are optional, the high selling price of herbs and ores makes it essential to seize the three daily opportunities. Weekly contributions to the sect are also crucial, with 50 donations per day used to exchange for soul bone fragments.
Among the free enhancement methods, soul skill books can be farmed in low-level dungeons of the Star Dou Great Forest, dropped from battles with the Ice Frost Tiger and the Frozen Phantom Eagle. Prioritize enhancing control skills to master the battlefield tempo. Regarding talent points, the unique Lustrous Heart Method of the Seven Treasures Pagoda can be unlocked for free, with random Oath imprints bringing continuous surprises. Equipment breakthroughs also have their tricks, with equipment breakthrough stones helping the Blue Silver Grass weapon overcome bottlenecks. In PvP, the Blue Silver Grass can start by controlling the enemy's main carry, while the Nine Lustrous Pagoda can quickly erect a shield to absorb damage.
In boss battles, the Seven Treasures Pagoda is better suited, as it can activate the Oath to heal and ensure team sustainability. The second skill of the Sky-Hammer can precisely interrupt the boss's skill cycle, breaking the rhythm, while the Blue Silver Grass Oath can gather enemies for focused fire. In the current game environment, the burning route, due to its burn effect ignoring shields, is actually the most advantageous lineup, securing a place in the top 20% of PvP win rates. Despite multiple adjustments, the classic combination of the Sky-Hammer and the Nine Lustrous Pagoda remains the top choice for casual players, thanks to its free acquisition advantage and extremely high potential.
Here, I recommend a highly forgiving control and survival lineup. The Soft-Boned Rabbit can serve as the main carry, with the Seven Treasures Pagoda dedicated to support. The Soul-Shattering Gun and the Ice Phoenix can join the fray. The Soul-Shattering Gun's first skill reduces enemy defense, and its Oath Piercing Shot can ignore shields and strike at the core. The Ice Phoenix not only provides group slowing to limit enemy movement but also grants teammates immunity to control effects with its passive Ice Shield. Combined with the Soft-Boned Rabbit's Oath, which bounces back damage, this forms a perfect loop. Considering the difficulty of cultivating for casual players, the Ice Phoenix can be flexibly replaced with the Frozen Phantom Eagle to lower the threshold.
Playing Douluo Continent Soul Hunting as a casual player involves many aspects to consider. Remember to first build a basic lineup framework, and then plan for transformation as resources become more abundant later on. Daily gameplay should revolve around bounty tasks, interspersed with 2 hours of daily effort in hunting soul beasts, and timely equipment breakthroughs to ensure your combat power.
