Getting started in Desktop Wallet Heroes can feel a little confusing when you have different heroes, equipment, skills, weapons, and upgrades to manage. Each system plays a role in improving your expedition progress, so understanding where to begin can make your early gameplay much easier.
In this beginner guide, we will go through the important systems you should learn first, including choosing your hero, exploring regions, upgrading your equipment, spending skill points, and building long-term bonuses through Constellations.
I will also explain how the Workshop, Crafting & Synthesis, and Gems systems work, so you know what to check before spending your materials. Let’s get started!
Desktop Wallet Heroes Beginner Guide – Heroes, Equipment
Your hero is one of the first things you should consider when starting Desktop Wallet Heroes. There are five heroes listed in the game, and each has a different role and combat style.
Here is a quick overview of all five heroes:
| Hero | Role |
|---|---|
| Hiro | Attacks from range |
| Churul | Holds the front line |
| Kunoichi | Delivers fast melee strikes |
| Ayu | Attacks from the sky |
| Peach | Supports the line |
Choose a hero based on the playstyle you prefer. For example, Hiro focuses on ranged attacks, while Churul takes the frontline role.
Keep in mind that hero availability can depend on your account unlocks or DLC.
Explore World & Dungeons
Once you have chosen your hero, the next step is exploring the available regions.
Open the World & Dungeons section to browse the game’s ten regions and check your progression.
If you find that your progress has stalled, do not immediately attempt the next stage repeatedly. Instead, review your current build and compare these areas:
- Weapon
- Armor
- Skill unlocks
- Constellation bonuses
These upgrades can help you identify what might be holding back your progress before moving to another stage.
Upgrade Your Equipment and Weapons
Equipment and weapons are important parts of your character’s build. However, you should not choose an item based only on its grade.
The equipment catalog contains eight different positions:
| Equipment Position |
|---|
| Head |
| Chest |
| Leg |
| Boots |
| Costume |
| Necklace |
| Ring |
| Bracelet |
The weapon catalog also includes stones and different class weapon families.
Each equipment and weapon record displays its equip level and starting stats. You should compare these details before equipping an item.
Remember that the final result can change because of reinforcement, random rolls, and account bonuses. An item’s grade alone does not tell you everything about how useful it will be for your build.
Use Hero Skills and Skill Points
Another important system to understand is Hero Skills.
Visit the Hero Skills section, select your hero, and inspect the available active and passive skills.
Before spending your skill points, check the following information:
- Active Skills: Review the available active abilities for your hero.
- Passive Skills: Inspect the passive bonuses available.
- Spent-Point Thresholds: Check how many points need to be spent to reach specific thresholds.
- Maximum Skill Level: Review the maximum level listed for each skill.
Make sure you understand the requirements before spending points, especially when planning which skills to improve.
Build Long-Term Bonuses With Constellations
Constellations provide another way to improve your account over time.
Open the Constellations section and inspect the available upgrades. Each entry includes information about its prerequisites, gold costs, and account-wide effects.
Before purchasing an upgrade, check whether you meet its requirements and whether the bonus helps your current progression.
If you are struggling with a particular stage or upgrade requirement, prioritize the bonuses that address your current bottleneck rather than spending resources without a plan.
Workshop, Equipment & Gems Guide
The Workshop contains several systems that help you improve your equipment and build. Understanding equipment requirements, crafting recipes, and gem effects will help you avoid wasting useful materials.
Understand Equipment Requirements
When browsing the equipment catalog, check the equip level and starting stats of each item.
You should also pay attention to class requirements when comparing weapons and equipment. An item with a higher grade is not automatically the best choice for your character.
Reinforcement, random rolls, and account bonuses can also affect the final stats, so consider the complete equipment details before making a decision.
Review Crafting & Synthesis Recipes
The Crafting & Synthesis section separates recipes into different material groups and outputs.
There are two important recipe types you should understand:
- Choose: A group marked as choose requires you to select an eligible ingredient.
- All Listed: A group marked as all-listed requires every ingredient shown in that group.
Some recipes can use the same material in separate groups. Because of this, always inspect the entire recipe before merging materials.
Do not spend your resources until you have checked every ingredient requirement and confirmed that you have what the recipe needs.
Understand Gem Socket Effects
Gems can provide different effects depending on where you socket them.
A gem may have different effects when placed in a:
- Weapon
- Armor
- Accessory
Before committing a gem to equipment, check its socket profile and grade. Also remember that possible rolled values are not guaranteed outcomes.
Always review the effect for the specific socket you intend to use instead of assuming that the same gem will provide identical bonuses in every equipment slot.
Keep Useful Materials
Materials are important for crafting and workshop progression, so avoid spending everything without checking its purpose.
Browse the Materials section to find blueprints and other workshop resources. Individual material pages also link to recipes that consume them.
This makes it easier to understand which materials are needed for specific crafting recipes and helps you plan your resource usage.
Beginner Tips for Desktop Wallet Heroes
Here are some useful things to keep in mind while progressing through the game:
- Compare all five heroes: Each hero has a different role, so check their playstyles before deciding which one to use.
- Check your build when progression stalls: Compare your weapon, armor, skills, and Constellation bonuses before attempting another stage.
- Do not judge equipment by grade alone: Equip level, starting stats, class requirements, reinforcement, and random rolls all matter.
- Inspect skills before spending points: Check spent-point thresholds and maximum skill levels.
- Plan your crafting recipes: Understand the difference between choose and all-listed ingredient groups.
- Check gem socket profiles: Gem effects depend on whether you place them in a weapon, armor, or accessory.
- Save useful materials: Check the Materials section and linked recipes before spending workshop resources.
That covers the main systems you should understand when starting Desktop Wallet Heroes. Begin by choosing a hero, exploring the ten regions, and improving your equipment and skills as you progress.
When you need stronger upgrades, check your Constellations, crafting recipes, and gem socket effects. Most importantly, compare the requirements and bonuses before spending your resources so you can focus on upgrades that help your current progression.
