Dungeonbound Hero Guide: Character Classes, Relics, and Floor Climbs

Unlocking specialized character classes, stacking Mythic relics, and executing floor blessing routes enables consistent floor 6 victories in Dungeonbound, expanding on foundational gear grids from our starter guide.

Unlocking and Piloting Distinct Hero Archetypes

In Dungeonbound, character classes feature tailored equipment pools, unique weapon affinities, and dedicated mechanics. The roguelike hero Jeiku operates as a fortunate gambler wielding six signature katanas and a dozen specialized items exclusive to his build. Players can unlock Jeiku in the demo by completing the First Cut quest milestone. Equipment drops strictly adhere to class bounds, meaning drops are restricted to what your active class can wield, ensuring daggers never clutter rewards for an Archer.

Other distinctive champions include Pumpkin Head, who features his own dungeon titled The Hollow Patch, and the terrifying Butcher as an extra holiday warrior. Rebalanced staples such as the fiery Flame Knight, nimble Ashigaru, ruthless Grand Necro, and occult Dark Arts Professor offer powerful burst setups, while the Monk retains disciplined defensive pacing. Check out our starter guide for fundamental grid positioning.

Stacking Mythic Relics and Floor Blessings

Relics grant powerful passive bonuses that persist across an entire dungeon run. Beyond traditional legendary items, the Mythic relic classification introduces game-defining treasures. Standout Mythic relics include the Ancient Codex (scaling across 5 levels), the Prism of Kinship, and the Champion's Laurel. Level-ups and dungeon blessings now provide a direct percentage increase of your Dmg, Block, and Max HP, ensuring numerical gains scale higher as your attributes multiply.

Blessings grow progressively stronger with each floor cleared. For instance, specific combat relics grant plus two damage permanently after every dungeon encounter, snowballing early offense into endgame viability. Beware that abandoning an ongoing run prematurely forfeits your initial floor 1 relic choice during the subsequent delve, making full commitments vital. Learn how to augment these builds with potions and shrines in our potions and runes guide.

Conquering Six Floor Climbs and Co-Op Strategies

Dungeon demo climbs culminate at floor 6, challenging players to refine their inventory management from auto battlers against heightened monster encounters. For adventurers who prefer non-competitive progression, PvE-only climbs feature a boss battle every second floor alongside an optional rival fights toggle to disable asynchronous ghost matches entirely.

When taking on the dungeon with companions, cooperative delves maintain persistent climb records for each separate team. If a teammate disconnects or drops out mid-run, an autonomous bot seamlessly takes over their character loadout to preserve group momentum. Synchronize your class synergies and relic buffs with your companion to consistently clear floor 6 milestones.
