In the former Dark Guild Adventure Hall guide, we have incorporated every aspect of the Halls, whether it may be information about the halls, how to enhance your damage, in addition to various tips to run as effectively as feasible.
In this guide, we will pick up where we left off and proceed to update here regularly. I will only be making mention of the NEW and UPDATED content as it gets released. With that in mind, I advise cross-referencing back with the original guide and following off this current one.

Gems
Gems are an indispensable part of your Hall runs. Check out the latest Gem releases! Keep in mind; the previously released Gems are still beneficial. Mix and match to ensure the most vital hit.
(June 28th, 2020)
While I do not have the maxed stats for the latest Gem release below yet, I can provide information such as level stats to make an informed decision about which gems to use or when to switch.
Guild Adventure Hall Physical Gem
The Physical Gem grants your Hero additional Physical Damage. A level four has the same bonuses as Dungeoneer Attack Gem (900,000%), while a level five surpasses it at 1.05M%!
Guild Adventure Hall Health Gem
While it takes a higher level for the Health Gem to exceed the level 20 Dungeeoner Health Gem, the new Valor Paragon Gem will take care of the remaining Health that it lacks.
Nevertheless, if you’d like to make the most of it, we know so far that level seven is 240,000% HP while level 20 is 250,000% HP.
It is estimated that Level 8 will overpower the Dungeoneer Gem, based on the pattern and the information we have so far.
Check out the Guild Adventure Hall Gem Chart below!
Guild Adventure Hall Stamina Gem
When it comes to the Stamina Gems, if you have done the Research, Enhancements, Paragon Gem, etc., you should have sufficient Stamina to complete a Hall run without using your Stamina Potions or the need to use Stamina Gems.
However, to provide the information for those who wish to know, the new Guild Adventure hall Stamina Gem at level 5 is better than the Dungeoneer Stamina Gem at level 20.
Guild Adventure Hall Valor Paragon Gem
The Valor Paragon Gem provides benefits to your Physical Damage, HP, Healing, and Stamina. A level three of this latest Gem outweighs the Paragon Arachnid Gem at level 20.
Guild Adventure Hall Gem Chart
Order of Heroes
Order of Arena provides Guild Adventure Hall bonuses when a Hero is applied to the Order. Another set of 10 levels were released and has improved the performance into the Halls.

Order of Arena (20)
*stats are maxed at level 20

Heroes
For Hero Skill, Abilities, and Limit Breaks released before May 2020, please refer to the Dark Guild Adventure Halls guide for reference.
Abilities
Maximize the Dungeon Dark Bonus in their Hero Skill Trees. The Basic Attack is free. The second special costs 15 Stamina per run, and the last one requires 40 per hit.
Aldercapt
Aldercapt provides Basic Attack, Ambush, in addition to So Glorious.
His third ability deals a base of 4,000 Physical Damage with a chance to inflict an additional 3,000 while also possibly evading the next incoming attack.
With that being said, if you’re lucky enough to acquire the chance, his base damage will be 7,000 on that turn. On top of that, he can also avoid taking on damage from the Monsters!
While most of the Heroes have a 4.500 base attack, he can gain up to 7,000 while not taking on damage.
Crowe
(July 28th, 2020)’
Crowe grants Dark Basic Attack, Intercept, as well as Blindside.
Her second ability covers your guildmate, who is the weakest hitter in the Hall, by providing that member to take on a 15% reduction of damage inflicted upon that player. While also attacking the monster dealing 1,000 Physical Damage.
Crowe’s third ability, Blindside, grants a base of 4,500 Physical Damage and avoids all attacks struck for one turn. While this does not make her the most reliable hitter, it may help you in the more difficult Halls with no healers in them.
Kingsglaive Noctis
Kingsglaive Noctis serves you with Basic Attack, Warp Strike, addition to Link strike. (No Noctis, special abilities do not work with Kingsglaive)
His second ability, Warp Strike, deals with an additional 1,500 with a high chance of invading the next attack.
Kingsglaive Noctis’ third ability, Link Strike, deals 5,000 damage while weakening the enemy. When enemies are weakened, then they take an additional 15% damage from all of the other Link Strikes in that corresponding round.
Kingsglaive Luna
(September 9th, 2020)
Like Luna and Gentiana, Kingsglaive Luna provides healing abilities and helps your guildmates stay alive in the halls.
Kingsglaive Luna’s second ability Kingsglaive Healing Touch heals the most damaged Hero for 500 points while also dealing 1,000 damage to the monsters.
Kingsglaive Holy Light heals ALL active Heroes in the hall, up to 20, so if you guys are hopping in and out, then the INSIDE, the hall will receive the boost by 100 points. The third ability chances to reduce all incoming damage by 10% while also dealing with 3,000 damage.
Kingsglaive Prompto
(October 10th, 2020)
Kingsglaive Prompro grants you with Basic, Kingsglaive Lucky Shot, as well as Kingsglaive Concussive Shot.
Lucky Shot deals 1,200 damage with a chance to deal 2,500.
Concussive Shot inflicts 6,000 damage with the chance to daze the target. When targets are dazes, this means they may miss the next attack, dealing no harm to you and your guildmates.
Kingsglaive Ignis
(November 18th, 2020)
Kingsglaive Ignis assists you in the Hall with Basic, Kingsglaive Sagefire Attack, and Kingsglaive Fire Explosion.
Sagefire Attack deals 1,500 damage while also giving you the chance to weaken your target.
Fire Explosion imposes 4,500 damage to your target while also granting a chance to boost your Guildmates (with you in the hall) damage by 15% while also reducing the damage being inflicted on them.
Kingsglaive Gladiolus
(December 22nd, 2020)
Kingsglaive Gladiolus presents Basic Attack, Kingsglaive for the King Strike, and Kingsglaive Staggering Blow.
His second ability allows him to use his sword to bash his enemies, granting 1,500 damage while having the chance to stun the opponent.
The third ability, Kingsglaive Staggering Blow, deals 5,000 damage with the chance to Daze the target.
Dazing your target enables the opponent to miss its next attack on you, dealing no damage.
Libertus
(March 11th, 2021)
Libertus grants Basic Attack, Galahd Strike, as well as Kingsglaive Pummel.
His second ability, ‘Galahd Strike’ deals 875 damage with a chance to deal up to 2,000 additional damage.
The third ability grants 4,750 damage with the chance to Daze the target.
As of 03.12.2021, Kingsglaive Prompto remains the strongest in the Hall, with Kingsglaive Noctis to follow.
Power of the Wild
(August 11th, 2020)
Like Power of Kings, Veterans, or Queens Carbuncle, Umbra and Pryna now have passive benefits located in Power of the Wild Skill Tree. Luckily for the Guild Adventure Hall players, it incorporates Dungeon Dark benefits, which helps you in every aspect of the hall.
Dungeon Dark Bonus:
*stats at maxed level
