The best upgrades for dealing with the dangers of roguelikes when playing God of War Valhalla fall into two categories: those you get from Tablets on the Shore, and those you get from Glyphs along the way during your run. You'll need to choose both carefully to give Kratos the best chance of survival, but there's more to consider. Long-term gain or short-term power, play styles, preferred weapons and more. Keeping this in mind, Below we'll cover the best upgrades you can get in God of War Ragnarok's Valhalla DLC.
What upgrades should be purchased in God of War Valhalla?
As mentioned, there are two types of upgrades in God of War Valhalla: Tablet of Influence and Tablet of Reflections. Permanent upgrades received ve Temporary upgrades and Glyphs you get on your Valhalla adventure. Below we'll cover both types and what you should prioritize.
Best Shore upgrades (Tablet of Influence and Tablet of Reflection)
Mastery Seals, Spirit Seals, and Divine Influences are spent here for permanent upgrades. Here are the upgrades you should buy as soon as possible:
- Tablet of Influence (Blue)
- Mastery Seals Pot Increase: Destroyed pottery has a chance to drop Mastery Seals.
- Spirit Seals Pot Increase: Destroyed containers have a chance to drop Spirit Seals,
- Echoes: Encounters: Increases Temporal echoes dropped by enemies.
Tablet of Reflection (Red)
- Start with the Resurrection Stone: Start every adventure with a Resurrection Stone – a safety net is always useful.
- Critical Health Regen: Restores up to a certain level of health after a fight (maximum 30%).
- Health Looter: Gain a small percentage of Health when opening Legendary Chests and Portals.
Essentially, we've focused here on two things that, in our experience, are more important than anything else: investment ve survival.
To start with the investment in Tablet of Influence, it is a simple principle: to make sure that you get more and more reward for your efforts, because this means that you can pursue upgrades faster and faster. We all know how this works: If the game offers you an XP multiplier, you buy it as soon as possible.
When it comes to survival in Tablet of Reflection, the principle is simple: builds vary and all stats are useful, but ultimately you win or lose depending on whether you can recover from the damage you take, so health and health regeneration are the “universal” attribute shared by all experiences. Make yourself as tough as possible and you'll thank yourself for it later.
Best upgrades and temporary Glyphs
Choosing the best Glyphs to choose during your run is much more difficult for a few reasons: ultimately, it's about creating a build that works for you. While some Glyphs are better than others (usually indicated by rarity), there are too many Glyphs in the game to be able to consistently choose the same ones, so you should choose certain types of Glyphs more based on the following attributes:
- Glyphs to suit your play style: Do you prefer Axe, Swords or Spear? If there's a weapon or attack type you don't use, you don't want to invest in it.
- Glyphs that trigger more frequently: Some Glyphs provide incredibly contextual and rare perks, require you to fulfill very esoteric conditions, or provide very specific rewards to certain builds. Look for ones that will trigger as often as possible.
- Glyphs that build on each other: Think about what Glyphs you've found before and try to create a build as you go: for example, if you have a bunch of Glyphs that provide bonuses to Freeze or Burn, a Glyph that charges those attributes faster will be a big help!
Admittedly, this side of the upgrade system is more art than science, as you'll need to improvise from a huge pool of various Glyphs and perks each time, and as is often the case in Roguelikes, you're as reliant on luck as you are on skill.
