Paragon points are earned by leveling up your immortal. These points can be used to enhance various attributes across four paragon tiers:

Tier B: Increases weapon and magic skill penetration and defense.
Tier S: Focuses on boosting critical damage and overall skill damage.
Tier SSS: Provides major boosts to Attack Power and HP at a high cost of paragon points.
The higher the paragon tier, the more points it requires to level up. Paragon points can be freely reset, allowing you to experiment with different builds as you progress.
Symbol #Copy URL to this article section
Symbols can be looted from monsters or summoned in the shop. You can equip up to 6 symbols, with each slot unlocked as you level up your awakening tier. The right combination of symbols depends on your weapon and skill build. For example, if you're using a bow with a fire-ice skill combo, symbols like Sharpshooter (increases bow damage) and Frozen Ember (boosts frost attribute damage) are ideal.
Symbols can be upgraded, improving their stats and contributing to your overall build. Test different combinations to find what works best for your immortal.
