'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Foundations' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) is currently accepting pre-registrations for its new server, 'New World'. This server completely removes the gacha monetization for the four core character progression items—'Spirits, Mounts, Weapon Appearances, and Dream Stones'—making them obtainable strictly through gameplay. Spirit and Mount summon tickets will be dropped in the field, while Weapon Appearances and Dream Stones will be provided as rewards for clearing dungeons.

With the financial burden of character growth significantly lightened, interest in this new server is higher than ever. For those planning to settle in 'New World', the burning question is: which Spirit should you pick? KookminTree has compiled a guide to help you sort through the recommendations.

Q. What is the criteria for selecting a Spirit?
A. We recommend those that provide offensive stat bonuses.

With a wide variety of Spirits available, new and returning players often find themselves in a pickle. So, what is the best strategy? It all comes down to the intrinsic stats. To ensure a swift leveling experience, you should prioritize offensive stats over defensive ones. The gold standard includes 'Attack Power, All Damage Rate, Skill Damage Rate, and Damage Rate against Normal Monsters'. While not immediately impactful in the early grind, Critical-related stats are also solid choices. Simply leave the defensive stats on the shelf.

Early on, focus on completing the growth guide. Finishing Chapter 2 nets you the Hero-grade Spirit 'Gomanyang', and Chapter 3 rewards you with the mount 'Gomacat'. They might not be the absolute peak of power, but they provide a reliable foundation, so grab them as soon as you can. Note that Spirits are tiered internally. Each grade is divided into three tiers, which dictates the base stat values. Refer to the tables below for the breakdown.

Q. So, which Spirits do you actually recommend?
A. 'Bonespike' is the undisputed king, followed by 'Hally' and 'Siahori'.

Among Hero-grade options, 'Bonespike' reigns supreme. It boosts Attack Power, All Damage Rate, and Defense Ignore Attack by 10 each. It is often rated as more effective than many Legendary Spirits, and in actual practice, it outshines defensive Legendary counterparts during farming.

Other recommendations include 'Hally, Pinras, Siahori, and Ash-colored Spike'. Hally and Pinras are particularly strong in Critical-related stats. Between the two, Hally sits at a higher tier and offers Skill Damage Rate, making it the more effective choice.

If you value raw offensive power over Critical stats, 'Ash-colored Spike' is a solid pick. While its base Attack Power is 1 lower than other Spirits of the same grade, the Skill Damage Rate makes it feel significantly more efficient.

Q. What about Legendary-grade Spirits?
A. 'Jusaekranggol' and 'Tanook' are the top performers.

For Legendary Spirits, 'Jusaekranggol' is our top pick. It is packed with essential stats: Attack Power, Critical, Skill Damage Rate, and Accuracy. Following closely are 'Ongolmir, Tarkasha, Akutaha, and Siwahori'. All four boast two offensive stats, making them highly potent.

If you find yourself with multiple Legendary Spirits, use the preset system to swap them as needed. The five previously mentioned are your go-to for offense. When you need to survive, switch to 'Tanook'. It boosts survivability with Defense, All Damage Received Reduction, and Critical Resistance. Others like 'Spirit Haneulmot Dalle Whale' and 'Hedet's Lion' are decent secondary options.

As a side note, there are 'Purple Crow', 'Phoenix Tail', and 'Crimson Eve'. Purple Crow is effective for escaping foes by boosting movement speed and reducing skill cooldowns. It also saves time when traveling long distances, so keep it in your preset for specific situations.

Finally, 'Phoenix Tail' and 'Crimson Eve' are exclusive to the Priest class. Their healing power and healing amount stats only boost recovery skills. Classes other than the Priest gain almost no benefit here, so don't just equip them blindly because they are Legendary.
