This is my Compendium of Hero's Adventure.
Recorded here are the sects, what you can gain from them and an index of Items I encountered through the game.


There is a wiki with most of the Martial Arts and how to obtain them, made by the people over on the official discord and updated by me : https://heros-adventure-road-to-passion.fandom.com/wiki/Martial_Arts

If there is something you would like to see added to this guide or have further questions feel free to contact me (My username is willyboborino) at the game's official Discord: https://discord.com/invite/FPnrtuXddA

Some things to note:

• For new Players, Fist, Spear, Staff and Blade are the strongest and most accessible weapon type
  
  
• If your Weapon stat is too low, you can buy 3 Blue Rarity Martial Arts of each Weapon type from the Dojos in each City
  
  
• You can Steal most Items available for trade
  
  
• Female party members get a special Trait and a Fate Skill (Similar to Ultimate) once you do the marriage event. There is no downside to them except that one of the City Marriages will reduce your HP per turn unless you talk to Miao Caidie
  
  
• If you anger a Sect or a member of it, you can go to the Temple in the Nameless Region (Linlang Temple) and pay Scrap Silver (individual) or Gold Bullion (Sect) to reset your relationship with them.
  
  
• Each sect usually consists of 3 quests at 20, 60, 100 relations. With both its Leader and the sect overall.
  
  
• 1st quest is usually a series of duels against a couple weak members of the sect. This will upgrade the sect tasks you can take, And give you the Sect’s trait if you didn’t start with it.. This may be relegated to an Initiation quest and you might get a proper 1st quest.
  
  
• 2nd quest differs but will almost always be a battle and winning will give you the sects Ultimate ability
  
  
• 3rd quest is the final quest and will be the most difficult.
  
  
• Once you complete the 3rd Quest, you will not lose Relationship with the Sect when Leaving.
  Shifa Temple, Confucius Temple, and Taoist Sect share the same 3rd Quest so you can only complete it for one of them. You can't rejoin Sects you leave.
  
  
• Make sure you unequip the Sect's unique Accessory or you will lose relation when leaving
  
  
• Each Sect will have at least 1 character to recruit.
  
  
• All Sects offer a Forgotten Pill in the Sect store for around 2000 Sect Contribution Points
  
  
• Langya Pavillion has Legendary Mines
  
  
• Soul Destoryer Forest/Forest of Broken Souls - Legendary Bug, Wood, Herbs, Purple Fish
  
  
• Waterfall in Lin'an Region - Purple Fish, Heart Demon Battle under waterfall
  
  
• Wuxian Mountain's Paradise area has - Legendary Fish, Wood and Herbs
  
  
• Bailing Mountain (Southwest) has Legendary Mines, Bugs, and Wood

The Sects will be in this format

• Join Methods: How to Join, Via Quest or Requirements to Join when talking to the leader
  
• Sect Quests: The 3 Quests the Sect has.
  
• Sect Tasks: The basic quests from quest boards
  
• Sect Store: Items you can buy with Sect Points

• Sparring: Who/Where to train and gain EXP. Usually the best way to get EXP in the mid game
  
• Traveling Salesman Stock: The Salesman will different things in each sect, some better some worse
  
• Notable NPCs: NPCs you can recruit and anything noteworthy that you can learn/request/trade from them
  
• Other Notable Things: Anything that is worth knowing about the sect, such as hidden quests, or items

In terms of Power gained your priority should be :

The easiest way to get stronger in this game is to have more Stats. You can beat most of the game if you obtain enough Stats to brute force your way through enemies

Once you obtained all the stats you need/want. You can then get Legendary Martial Arts Manuals, Level up, and get the best Gear available.

If you can get 30 STR and 30 CON, you will be able to beat any enemy.

Here are some powerful combinations of Internals and gear that will make things a lot easier, as well as a small guide on getting through the early-mid game. As you start unlocking more achievements, you will need to rely on these strategies less and less.

• Infinite Counters and Combos - Sun Burning Sky Technique (Legendary Internal) + Imperial Seal/Seal of the Sky/Seal of the People
  
• The Taoist way - Omnipotent Demon Sealing + Way of Magic/Magic Nature trait + Seal of the Sky or Seal of the People
  
• Throwing, the most overpowered strategy in the game - God of Gambling Trait + Money (Fortune or Money is Power) Trait + Throwing Items
  
• Pear Blossom Spear Supremacy - Pear Blossom Spear (Weapon and External)

:Crafted and bought foods can provide a wide range of buffs. From things like +5% Parry chance to a +20% Evasion chance
:You will get a random buff based on the incense used. Epic tier incense can get you legendary buffs. Can give utility buffs like +50% Gift Power, to combat buffs like -35% Damage Taken

Getting EXP: Join the Ye Family Battalion and use their training Method. The highest level nets you around 10k Exp for every party member.

Stuck trying to beat the 9 Factions members as they cause trouble in Daliang City? Trying to beat the Chuxiang Heroe's Tournament? Feel like you're weak even at level 40?
Introducing:

This strategy works the moment you visit the Chuxiang region. The Pear Blossom Spear is a very powerful weapon (Mostly due to the Seal effect) and can carry you pretty far. Use this strat as well as the items mentioned below to easily navigate the early and mid game.
You will want to swap to using Spears for this early part until you can get stronger naturally.
Combine the below with anything else you picked up along the way.

• Weapon: Pear Blossom Spear (Use this Spear for its Seal effect)
  
• Armor: Diamond Armor (any armor will do, but you can get this one right away)
  
• Accessory: Lotus Gem (any accessory is fine, this one is the strongest)
  
• Passive Tree: Wind and Yin. Middle row of both
  
• Internals: Longevity Technique, Flying Blade Secret Manual (Both of these are optional, but you might need the stats)
  
• Externals: Pear Blossom Spear. The 3 blue tier Spear skills if you need them for the Long Stat.

• Weapon: Spear Blossom Spear - This weapon can be found in the Wild Wolf Valley. It will be sticking in the ground. Take it. You will need it to get the External of the same name.
  
• Armor: Diamond Armor - This is one of the earliest Epic tier armors you can get.
  
  • You will need some Scrap Silver (There should be enough lying around) and Wine.
    
  • Go to the Chuxiang Armory.
    If you are not on the Investigation quest, you will need to bribe the guards. You only need to bribe them once.
    Once inside, gift the General there until you can trade with him. Trade for his Armory Key then enter the building behind him.
    Take the Armor from the Armor Stand, don't worry about the Propriety loss here, there is no downside later on.
• Accessory:
  
• Visit the Nameless Village Inn around 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
  
• You will see Ye Yinping dining.
  
• She won't be able to pay so you can either pay (costs 5k coins + appraisal at a pawn shop) or let
• Hua Siniang receive and appraise the accessory and Trade it from Siniang. It will already be appraised this way.
  
• Internals:
  
  • Longevity Technique: In Chuxiang City, befriend the Taoists in the Temple. Then take the Cushion. With the cushion, you can pray at the Heroe's Statue 10 times to break it and get the Manual.
    
  • Flying Blade Secret Manual: In Chuxiang City, visit the Dojo and if you have Fame 3, a competition will start. Represent yourself to get this manual.
• External: The Pear Blossom Spear comes from recruiting a character named Yang Yao Er.
  
  • He is in the Chuxiang Armory.
    
  • Walk towards the back while you have the Pear Blossom Spear unequipped.
    
  • He will call out to you and you can recruit him (Or you can just kill him or steal from him).
    
  • Then take him (or his item) to the Nameless Region's Dilapidated Shrine.
    
  • Destroy the big altar in manual combat mode and enter the basement.
    
  • You will then be able to activate the shrine and get this Manual.

With the Pear Blossom Spear duo, you can teach it to Yang Yao Er and he will gain an Ultimate. This ult has a similar effect and can mass apply Seal. You can also go to the Daliang Region Pier/River way and recruit another Spear user. Not 100% necessary since only 1 of you can equip the Spear, but useful once you find better gear.
In combat, you will be applying Seal and Bleed so you can use a hit and run strategy or just keep hitting them and stunning them. You won't be able to stun them forever due to Rage Explosion, but having more turns to attack will get you through most of the Early and Mid Game.
Once you start finding good gear for your preferred weapon type, swap out your Pear Blossom Spear and use those instead. You can give it to Yao'Er if you enjoy its power.

You have plenty of options at this point in the game, so I will be explaining 2 of the Combos mentioned above and how to set them up.
Sun Burning Sky Technique (Legendary Internal) + Imperial Seal/Seal of the Sky/Seal of the People
Sun Burning Sky Technique's effect is Guaranteed Combos on Crit and Guarenteed Counters on Parry. There are 3 accessories that can grant us Guaranteed Crit (Seal of the People) and Parry (Seal of the People). The Imperial Seal is a combination of the 2 and has both effects.

• Sun Burning Sky Technique. This one is on a place called Wuxian Wonderland.
  
  • First, buy 20 Rope, a bunch of Food, some Axes and a Shovel. All bought at Grocery Stores.
    
  • Head to Cross Hill in the Nameless Region. You can travel to the Nameless Village, enter the world map and walk around the north west of the village until you find it.
    
  • Take the South West (Leftmost) exit of Cross Hill. This will unlock the Western Gate.
    
  • Use force to break through, the other option will be too time consuming since it requires 3 exams.
    
  • Head to the 2nd map (Cliff area). You will meet a bunch of people talking. Feel free to kill them or let them live.
    
  • Walk to the Cliff, you will get the option to climb down using 20 Rope or by having 20 Str/Con
    
  • This place is the Wuxian Wonderland.
    
  • Cut the Tree on the lower left of the area. Make sure you have full Stamina afterwards.
    
  • Dig up the Mound.
    
  • If the group of people are alive, they will fight you here.
    
  • You will have the Manual (and a recipe for a glove) afterwards.
• Seal of the Sky. This one is at the Yan Yun Palace Camp.
  
  • Befriend them or pick it up after killing them. This needs to happen before the completing General Ye Court Quest task of Exterminating the Yan Army
    
  • Or sneak in as part of Yueying/Sakuraha's quest
• Seal of the Sky. This one is at the top of the Enlightenment Tower in Lin'an City.
  
  • You will need to win the series of battles against Tong Daofu to get it.

God of Gambling Trait + Throwing Items + any optional bonuses
The Throwing Items are actually the strongest things in this game, especially if you use them with the above combo. You can use the God Of Gambling Trait and Throwables alone, or you can dedicate your build specifically for them. Either way, you will have no problems if you use them.
Throwing Items use your current gear and act as an attack. So if your weapon applies status effects, your Thrown item will also apply it. Also includes traits if you have any.

• God of Gambling
  
  1. You get this trait once you clear out 20 tables. It does not care about the initial amount, so you can repeatably clear out the same group of tables even if they only have 500 Coins in the pot.
     
  2. Go to the Relic House in Lin'an City. Gamble and clear out all 5 Tables.
     
  3. Attempt to leave and choose to bet. Win for a Legendary Throwing Manual: Celestial Lady Scattering Flowers.
     
  4. Come back in 2-3 days. The tables should have some money for you to win.
     
  5. Repeat until you have cleared 20 tables. This will give you the God of Gambling Trait and the achievement if this is the first time you've done it.
• Throwing Items. You want to get as many Five Poisons Plum Needles and Violent Storm Pearl Needles as you have the patience to get.
  
  • Swallows Nest - Travelling Merchant. He sells Green, Blue and Purple tier Throwing Items. You can buy from him after reaching Fame 3 and have neutral to good relations with the sect.
    Note: You want the Five Poisons Plum Needle the most (Its -Atk/Def effect stacks).
    
  • Chuxiang City - Dirty Street Auction. Unlock the Auction by talking with the merchants in the Chuxiang City Inn (appears while you have 10k coins) and then talking to Old Monster at noon (He must not be in your party).
    The Auction will sell Epic and Legendary tier Throwables at random.
    
  • Crafting - You can craft the Legendary Tier Exploding Thunder Bullet (Desert Region - Help Divine Fire Cult) and Violent Storm Pearl Needle (Yan Yun Region - puppet maker side quest).
    These 2 require Tool Crafting level 4 to make, but are very powerful.
  The next 3 are optional. You will be fine without them. In-fact, combining the 2 combos is stronger than using just one.
  
  • Increase Throwing Stat - Join the Swallows Nest and buy their +Throwing Archives using Sect Contribution
    
  • Celestial Lady Scattering Flowers - As noted above
    
  • Flying Blade Secret Manual - Represent yourself in the Chuxiang City Dojo Competition
    
  • Celestial Star Manual - Recruit and Trade with Shen Wuqi after his quest (Night Market Auctioneer)

In Combat, just spam your Throwables. With God of Gambling, you will get a 2nd turn, so you can use another (No extra turn afterwards) or you can attack normally.
If you Combo, you will use the Throwable again, but it will not reduce the amount.
So the Sun Burning Sky combo and the Way of Nature Traits can allow you to use 4 Throwables per turn at the cost of 1 Throwable.
Using the Five Poisons Plum Blossom and a Weapon with the -Qi/Energy/Energy Gathering (Which I call Delay), you can apply 10 stacks of the Plum Poison which reduces the enemy Atk and Def down to about 25% of their usual value.
With these 2 combos, you can beat just about any boss in the game. However, this strategy is too powerful so don't abuse it too much.

These are you basic 5 Attributes. Each stat will give bonuses and always apply retroactively.
Intelligence will lower your Base MP but it cannot go below 100. You cannot lose the MP gained from Internal Manuals this way.


STR - Strength - Every Point gives: + (Level * 1.5) Attack, and +.5% Critical
CON - Constitution - Every Point gives: + (Level * 1.5) Defense, and (Level * 2) Hp
INT - Intelligence - Every Point gives: + (Level) Attack, (Level) Defense, -35 Max Mp, and -2% Combo
LUK - Luck - Every Point gives: +0.5% Critical/Combo/Evasion/Parry and +0.25% Counter
DEX - Dexterity - Every Point gives: +(Level * 0.5) Qinggong, +0.5 Action Speed, +0.5% Eva.



Your stats comprise of Base Stats and Free Stats

Base Stats can be increased at Character Creation and using Points and can be Trained Up while in game. This stat can only go up to 10.
The Stat EXP required goes up by 50 for every Level,


Free stats are Stats you get from Traits, Events, and Stat Pills

There is no upper limit to your Free Stats, its possible to get 50+ in a single Stat
This is not used when calculating your base Stat for Training purposes

Your Final Stat (Base + Free) is what is used for Events. For example, to get Infinity World Ultimate, you need a total of 15 Int. It can be 10 Base and 5 Free, or 5 Base and 10 Free

You are unlikely to get all of these at once due to some conflicting requirements

• Events: Cross Hill (1), Shifa Int (1, but only if you have <10 Int), Caidie Test Poison (10 Net), Cai Absorption with Archdemon Soul Eating Method (Legendary Internal) (10) , for 22 Total
  
• Starting Traits: Reincarnated Monk (5), Top Achiever (6), Buddha Heart (4), Talented Beauty (4), Good Fortune (3), Unique Skeleton (3), Hardened (3), Smart (3), Arhat Body (2) for a total of 33
  
• In-Game Traits: Clever/Nitwit(2), Heart of Benevolence (3), for a total of 5
  
• Allocation Points: 10
  
• Pills: 5

If you obtain every Free Stat available and Train up your Base stat to 10, you will have the following Stat Spread:

• STR: 16
  
• CON: 16
  
• DEX: 16
  
• INT: 28/30 (Clever)
  
• LUK: 21/23 (Nitwit)

With 28 stats to split among these stats how you like.
Example:
If you put all 28 points into STR, you will have 44 STR, and choose Clever over Nitwit
At Level 100, these stats will give you
STR: 6600 ATK
CON: 2250 DEF, 3000 HP
INT: 3000 ATK, 3000 DEF

For a total of 9600 ATK and 5250 DEF BEFORE your Martial Arts and Gear
This is enough to one or 2 shot any enemy in the game,

Allies Stats can also be trained up, but currently only CON, INT, and LUCK can be trained for them.
When you hover over the number, you will see how much EXP you have and how many more Base Stat you can train up

• MP
  Your Resource for using Martial Arts. Increased by learning Internal Manuals, and Eating Legendary Herbs. Lowered by increasing INT (-35 MP per INT). Can be lowered into the Negatives but you will have a minimum of 1.
  Essentially composed of 4 parts:
  
  • Base MP = 100. This number can be increased and decreased via eating Herbs and doing Events (increased by Ice Prison ice bed, or decreased by healing Shi Wenxiu or Ji Fuling). This can go below 0 into the negatives. This starts at 0 for other party members.
    
  • Int MP = 490. This is lowered by 35 per point of INT. Cannot go below 0.
    
  • Internal MP = MP from Internals. Only while you have that Internal learned. Lost if forgotten
    
  • Gear MP = MP from Gear. Only while you have that accessory equipped
• Note: If you lower your Base by 1000 by healing Shi Wenxiu with that option, you will end up with -900. And if all your other Mp is not higher than 900, you will be stuck at 1 Mp until you get more MP to offset the debt

• Internal Type
  The Type of Internal you are currently running as your Main Internal. Only affects Externals when they specify a type in their effects. You can have Neutral/Harmony, Yang/Positive or Yin/Negative. Your Main Internal will also provide extra Damage Dealt/Taken depending on its type:
  
  • Harmony: +10% Damage Dealt, -10% Damage Taken
    
  • Yin: +20% Damage Dealt
    
  • Yang: -20% Damage Taken

• This stat will increase or decrease Damage Taken and Dealt based on the difference between the attack and target. For every 10 Combat of difference, the higher side will gain 1% Damage Dealt and -1% Damage Taken.
  
• Combat goes up to a maximum of 500.
  
• It is increased by defeating Named NPCs. If you want to increase an Ally's Combat, they need to land the finishing blow
  
• Notable Training Sites include: Taoist Sect Zhenwu Sword Formation (Taoist Sect Disciples only) and Langya Sword Pavilion Dugu Training fight (Langya Disciples only)

• Your Main Stat for determining your Damage Dealt. The Green Number is the amount of Atk from your Weapon
  
• Increased by STR, INT, and learning External Manuals.
  
• Low Stamina will reduce your Attack , High Stamina will increase it

• Your Main Stat for determining your Damage Taken. The Green Number is the amount of Def from your Armor

• You have 3 Movement by default, gaining +1 every 100 Qinggong (Up to 500 Qinggong)
  
• You will get +1 Action speed every 50 until 500 Qinggong, then you get +1 every 100 capping out at 1000. For a total of +15 Action Speed

• This determines how fast you get your turn in combat. Action Speed determines how much Energy or Qi you gather per time interval. Once you reach 1000 Energy or Qi, you get to take your turn. Some effects will give or reduce the amount of Energy/Qi you have.
  
• In general: The more the better, but has diminishing returns past 100-150
  
• The Speed growth is not linear. Going from 0-100 Action speed has a larger effect on your turn speed than going from 300-400 Action Speed.
  
• If you have 200 Action Speed to an Enemy's 50, you will get around 5 turns before they can act again. If you have 300 Action Speed and the enemy has 100, you will get 2 turns before they can act.
  
• Aim for around 100 Action Speed in most games. Raise it higher for faster builds
  
• Lowering Enemy Action Speed is more impactful than raising Action Speed on Higher Difficulties

• These External Stats are used to determine if you can learn a weapon type's Manuals
  
• The difference between the Attacker and Target's External Stat determines the Damage Dealt and Damage Taken.
  
• Every 1 point of Difference leads to 1 Damage Dealt and -1 Damage Taken, affected by % Damage Modifiers.
  
• With all the % Damage Modifiers available to the MC, each point comes out to about a 4.2% Damage Dealt Increase overall, and 8.4% Less Damage Taken

• How likely you are to hit your attacks.
  
• Accuracy of an attack = Attacker's Accuracy Stat - Target's Evasion
  
• The Blinded status effect will reduce this stat

Once you get a True Ending, you will save any Life Skill (Mining, Fishing, Stealing, Etc) that you have maxed out. Then these will be transferred over to your next new character. Starting you out with a character that potential starts out with every Life Skill Unlocked.

Check out Avenging Angel's Lore& Ending Guide for a list of true endings (They will be bolded)
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3126751304

The new highest difficulty is 2560.
If you visited the Discord for this game, you will occasionally hear talk about 2560. This is the most highest difficulty the game has to offer. It cannot be beaten unprepared and requires quite a bit of Min-maxing to complete.
The Status Immunity and effects, along with the Pure Stats will invalidate most builds.
Freemode 1200 is about 5-7x the difficulty of Nightmare, and 2560 is about 5x the difficulty of 1200.
Avenging Angel has a guide on how to complete 2560, but it is recommend you have completed the game a few times and understand how to beat most of the game.
https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3121034392


The Minimum Difficulty of Free Mode (165) is harder than Nightmare.

Nightmare gives NPCS: +20% Damage Dealt, -20% Damage Taken, +40% Atk/Def/HP, +50% Qinggong, +2 to all 5 Attributes
Freemode gives NPCS: +20% Damage Dealt, -20% Damage Taken, +50% Atk/Def/HP, +50% Qinggong, +2 to all 5 Attributes, +50% Action Speed, +10% Accuracy/Evasion/Crit/Parry


These stats should be self explainatory. Pure stat boosts to Enemy and Guest NPCS. They lose these stat boosts when they join your party.
The Sect Leaders will have something around 25k HP, 10-15k Atk and Def, 350 Action Speed.


The Lunar Update overhauled these settings, making them more modular.
The impactful extra traits you may want to avoid outside of 2560:

• Ignore Armor - Pierce enemy Armor stats and Effects on attack
  
• Ignore Accessory- Pierce enemy Accessory stats and Effects on attack
  
• Damage Reflect - Reflect 10% of Damage Taken
  
• Endless Life Force - Recover 8% Missing HP after every Action
  
• Continuous - Recover 8% Missing MP after every Action
  
• Take Initiative - Start with 100 Qi/Action Points (Note: Stacks with the Wind Node)

There are many traits you can pick, and many of them will increase the enemy's Damage Dealt and lower Damage Taken.
About +150% Damage Dealt at full Health and -50% Damage taken, +224% at 1% HP and -0% Damage Taken
Overall, these will make any fight against your Heart Demon, nearly impossible due to them having your optimized build, along with all the Freemode buffs.
