Sing With The Tide Selena Leveling Guide

Frozen Canvas

Last Updated:October 31, 2024|Changelog

Welcome to the Sing With The Tide Selena Leveling Guide. Selena is a siren altering between 2 musical states; Bard Song and Loud Song each providing different bonuses to fit the combat situation. The Bard Song can be built in 2 different ways, focus on generating Bard Song stacks to launch bubbles at your enemies, triggering you Main Skill on impact. Alternatively, travel effortlessly through stages with the ability to move and Channel Spell Skills, a mechanic unique to this character. Tide is the primary way to scale your damage leaving an area beneath enemies that massively increases the damage they take stacking up to 3 times for explosive damage.

Frozen Canvas Updates

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!

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 Pentagram Astrolabe, Lonesome, and Rock Lizard's Skull. These items can drop in all troves and offer a significant boost to your levelling.
  • Nectar Valley (L16): Look out for Grace Boots.
  • Dawn Avenue (L27): Look out for Feline Gloves and Omniscient Prototype.
  • Sanctuary of Solitude (L35): Look out for Sage's Foresight.
  • Silver Sands' End (L44): No new Legendaries worth farming appear in this Trove.
  • Hall of Grandiosity (L54): Here you should farm to level 60 to reach your next Hero Trait before completing the campaign.

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 Elemental Resistance 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.
  • Claim your rewards from the Path of Progression to gain additional Talent Points whilst levelling.
  • All support gems become available from the Skill Shop at level 55. 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.
