Charge Calling Moto Leveling Guide
Last Updated:October 24, 2024|Changelog
Welcome to the Charge Calling Moto Leveling Guide. Charge Calling Moto is a BLAST to play as he transforms your minions into charging bombs that explode obliterating your enemies. Mechanical Parts rain down from the sky, pick them up to deal more damage with the explosions to your enemies. This Charge Calling Moto leveling build dominates throughout the entire Story with regular Minions until you transition into explosions towards the end of the campaign. On top of this, Charge Calling Moto is great to play on both the Phone and PC! If you are new to Minions playstyle check out our Minions Mechanics Guide.
The leveling guide is intended to take your character to Timemark 7.
You can respec your character for free until level 90.
Be sure to check the final section of the guide for recommendations on how to transition into the Endgame!
- Big Damage
- Exploding Minions!

Check out the Complete Story Walkthrough for tips on how to complete the Campaign.
Treasure Troves
Treasure Troves are a way to super-charge your leveling experience. They give vastly more experience than regular zones and yield exclusive Legendary items. You need to complete each of them once for a Talent Point. For an easier leveling experience, you repeat the Treasure Trove until you're 8-10 levels above the zone, then rush through the next few areas. Follow your side quest to find the Treasure Trove locations.
Keep an eye out for the following Legendary items as you clear Treasure Troves.
- New Ear Hills (L7): Look out for Rock Lizard's Skull.
- Nectar Valley (L16): Look out for Desire of Survival.
- Dawn Avenue (L27): Look out for Look out for Omniscient Prototype and Lonesome.
- Sanctuary of Solitude (L35): Look out for Interlocking Soul.
- Silver Sands' End (L44): Look out for Omniscient Prototype and Lonesome.
- Hall of Grandiosity (L54): Look out for Cry of Divinity, Omniscient Prototype and Lonesome.
Every Treasure Trove has a small chance to drop Lonesome which boosts you damage significantly if you equip only 1 ring and Omniscient Prototype which provides around 120 Energy allowing you to equip additional Support Skills.
Leveling Tips and Tricks
- Your first active skill slot (top left in the Skills menu) is your "Main Skill," this matters because many items and Hero Traits have effects that only apply to the Main Skill.
- If you're ever in doubt of where to go, click the campaign quest on the left of your screen and a golden path shows you the way.
- This guide assumes you get most of your levels through Treasure Troves and rush to the objectives in other zones for maximum efficiency.
- When allocating Pact Points, prioritize Resistances first, then select Damage nodes until you fill the section. If you have leftover points, put them into Drop nodes as you begin farming the Netherrealm.
- Complete Path of Progression to unlock additional Talent Points.
- All support gems become available from the Skill Shop at level 50. At this stage cross reference with the embeds to make sure you're set up for the Netherrealm.
- In Chapter 3 gear you find comes with varying amounts of Energy, after changing your gear, be sure to go to the Energy Menu under Skills to reassign missing Energy.

- At level 45 Charge Calling lasts longer thanks to Unstoppable Wave Hero Trait. It allows you to support Charge Calling with Extended Duration for better uptime. Swap to Summon Grim Phantom for automatic explosions from that point on.
- Use Compound Source to heal yourself.
- With Blink you move faster through the zones.
- Support it with Quick Mobility for even faster movement.
- Elemental Shock increases Elemental damage dealt by your Minions.
- Use it to increase damage dealt by Summon Grim Phantom thanks to their natural damage conversion to Lightning.
- If you avoid most of the enemies attacks and don't mind dying from time to time replace Compound Source with Dark Gate until level 45 or Electrocute above that that level to deal more damage. Alternatively replace it with Leap Attack for more speed while using Interlocking Soul.
- If you don't like exploding Minions playstyle at level 45 consider delaying it to level 60.
