Welcome to the Beginners Guide for Necropolis, Basement 10 (NB10)! In this guide, we'll break down the three stages of NB10 teams: from your initial starter team to a faster team, and ultimately, speed teams.
Once you've gone through this guide, you'll have a clear understanding of which units to build based on your current game stage. Our main goal here is to achieve a 100% success rate with your NB10 team, with an average runtime of around 40 to 50 seconds. By doing this efficiently, you'll be able to supercharge your rune farming and make rapid progress in your Summoners War journey.
It's essential to note that building a 100% success rate speed team doesn't solely rely on having super rare 5-star monsters (nat 5's). Instead, it's all about creating a well-coordinated team with the right rune builds to maximize its potential. Let's dive in and conquer the Necropolis together!
Why Farming NB10 is Important
Once you've tackled Scenarios, GB10, ToA Normal, DB10, ToAH, and R5, your next goal should be to conquer Necropolis, Basement 10 (NB10).
NB10 becomes the seventh goal because it rewards you with some incredible rune sets that are perfect for PvP battles, such as Will and Nemesis runes. However, NB10 requires a bit more effort to build a fast and reliable team, so by focusing on R5 first, you can create a more efficient NB10 starter team. This way, you'll be well-prepared to take on the challenges of Necropolis and secure those valuable rune sets for your PvP monsters.
For free-to-play players or those spending $30-$100 a month on in-game packs, the focus should be on building a team with the highest success rate possible. This approach will help you get more runes efficiently using your energy and crystals.
However, if you're someone who buys multiple packs every month or doesn't have much time to play, speed becomes more critical. Prioritizing speed will help you maximize your rune drops and progression in the game. So, after conquering the previous goals, aim to conquer NB10 and unlock the potential of powerful Violent runes!

Early-Beginner Team
Once you've farmed good violent, revenge, and shield runes from DB10, and collected some grinds and enchants from R5, it's time to build your NB10 team and break into that dungeon.
Here are the minimum stats and requirements you should aim for:
HP: Around 18k (the exact amount may vary depending on the number of shield sets on your team or if you have high levels in your HP/Def glory totems).
Def: At least 700; if your defense is lower, you'll need more HP to compensate.
Accuracy: Aim for 45% on important debuffers (getting close to this cap is essential as it increases the success rate of your runs).
Speed: Remember, the speed cap on the boss stage is 130 (this includes any speed bonuses from your speed tower).
By meeting these criteria, you'll be ready to tackle NB10 and get your hands on some awesome rune sets, such as violent, revenge, and shield, which are perfect for enhancing your monsters' performance in both PvP and PvE content.
