Beginner Guide & Tips

Complete the Dungeons to Unlock New Ones

Dungeons are your major gameplay mode in this Shadow Gun game, and from the beginning of the game, you will enter dungeons and complete them. Once you complete one dungeon, you can enter the next dungeon and so on. But it is not as easy as you thought to complete the dungeons because every dungeon comes with a certain number of levels, and on every floor, you are going to meet more enemies with various combat abilities. 

Besides the ordinary enemy types, you will also meet boss enemies who will be a real deal for you. These bosses come with a high HP, and they also come with different abilities that can deal massive damage to you at once. One hit from them is enough to kill you in these dungeons. So, you have to dodge the attacks of all enemies and launch attacks on them perfectly. Here, your hero will attack automatically when he is close enough to enemies. 

However, you have the power to direct your hero's actions throughout the challenges he faces. Depending on how you control the hero, it will be decided whether you will dodge enemy attacks or get hit by them. Sometimes, when you face a troop of enemies at once, it will be hard to dodge all attacks. You must, however, still give it your all.

Once you complete all the levels in one dungeon, defeating all enemies and boss battles, you will reach the next dungeon soon. Completing these dungeons halfway or totally gives you tons of rewards. So be sure to do your best to complete dungeon challenges in Shadow Gun gameplay. 

Choose the Perfect Buffs for the Time

When you are going through Shadow Gun dungeon challenges, level by level, sometimes, you get a chance to activate a buff for your hero during these dungeon challenges. These buffs are always about increasing attack, recovering a large amount of HP, increasing the fire rate and many more. Since these buffs are always helpful and beneficial for you in this game, you must choose a perfect one all the time. 

You are given three buffs at a time in the Shadow Gun gameplay, but you can only select one. So, analyze your situation in the challenge and choose the best buff suitable for your current situation in this game. By doing so, you will always have a great time in these challenges as the buffs always enhance your hero's performance in the challenges. 

Imagine for a minute that all the buffs given to you to choose one are not that important to you right now, but you need some other buffs to activate. At such times, you can reroll your buff results on the screen using gems. When you reroll the buffs using gems, you will gain another three buffs to choose one. 

Take Advantage from the Mystery Man

The mystery man is a very generous man you will meet in these Shadow Gun dungeon challenges. You will meet this mystery man two or three times in these dungeons; every time you meet him, he will offer you something cool. Yes, most of the time, mystery man offers you buffs to activate. So, if you want to activate that buff provided by the mystery man, you only have to watch an ad. After the ad, that buff will be activated. 

This is a valuable opportunity you must not miss in this game because when you get deeper into the dungeons, the enemy troops become tougher, and the bosses become extremely powerful. So, you need more help to get rid of them, and that single buff that the mystery man offers may have the power to change your whole gameplay. Therefore, when you meet the mystery man, always claim what he has for you. 

Achieve Quests for More Rewards

Quests are some goals that you can acquire in this Shadow Gun game just to gain more rewards. Every time you complete a quest, a bundle of rewards is waiting for you to claim them. Therefore, after unlocking the quests, you should complete them perfectly. This is one of the best tips you should follow in your Shadow Gun gameplay to earn as many rewards as possible. 

The quests are categorized into daily check-in, daily quests, achievements and world progression. Every time you complete goals in each category, you can gain rewards. Here, the daily check-in includes the rewards you can claim when logging into the game daily. Daily quests include the goals that you must accomplish within a day to achieve the required progression you need to accomplish within a day, and by completing these daily quests, not only will you earn rewards for each quest, but you will also unlock additional treasure chests full of rewards. 

Achievements have no time frame so that you can complete them anytime. By completing them, you can earn a lot of diamonds for your gameplay. World quests are about completing different dungeon levels. By achieving the given goals, you might be able to claim more rewards, including hero and weapon shards, keys, hero stones, diamonds, etc. 

Open Chests and Earn Resources

Every time you defeat a boss in the challenges of Shadow Gun and complete the dungeon challenges, you earn chests and can open them for amazing resources. In this beginner guide, we are not talking about those victory chests, but about the chests, which you can purchase from the in-game shop. When you go to the in-game shop, you will see many chests in the resources tab, and these chests offer you various things. In silver chests, you can earn common or uncommon equipment and open them using a little amount of diamonds or by watching ads. 

Golden chests have uncommon, rare or epic equipment items, and you can open them using diamonds, keys or by watching ads. Next, you can open hero chests, which include the hero shards to activate heroes, and you can open them using diamonds or by watching ads. Since these chests offer you amazing resources you need in your gameplay, open them using necessary currencies or by watching ads and benefitting from them. 

Unlock Heroes and Enhance Them

At the beginning of the Shadow Gun game, you have one free hero to play, but besides that hero, there are many heroes you can unlock here using relevant hero shards that you can purchase through opening hero chests. Each hero possesses unique skills and attributes useful in the battles. So unlock heroes and choose the best ones to start the challenges. 

After unlocking heroes, you can enhance them so that they will perform more during challenges. When enhancing heroes, you can level up the heroes using coins and a hero stone base. Once you obtain them, you can improve the heroes' traits by leveling them up. Additionally, by consuming enough hero shards, you can raise the star tier of your heroes. When you upgrade the star tier with enough hero shards, the attributes of the heroes are further enhanced, making them a lot more powerful than before. 

Next, you can provide your heroes with the best equipment items by gaining them through equipment chests. And don't forget to upgrade the equipped items so that the equipment will be enhanced and make the heroes stronger. 

You Can Revive with Ads

What if you die in the middle of a dungeon challenge in Shadow Gun before you complete all the levels in a dungeon? You will be defeated in the challenge and have to start from level one again in the same dungeon. But you can avoid this from happening to you by watching ads. Yes, even if you die in the middle of a challenge, you can watch an ad and revive your hero again so that you can play from where you died. 

Once the revival is completed, you will notice that the hero has been revived with full HP. Yes, and that's among the best benefits of this process of revival. But remember, you can only revive one-time using ads during the dungeon challenges. Therefore, put yourself together and keep completing the challenges perfectly without letting enemy attacks hit you. And if an enemy attack hits you and you die with the loss of HP, you can revive using an ad, but since it is limited, don't waste the chance in the middle or early phases. Save it until you reach the end stages because they are deadly.
