Sol: A week has passed since the launch of Enchantment. While some may have suffered unexpected deaths and lost EXP while facing increasingly powerful monsters, consistent players should now be at or approaching level 40, where squad mode unlocks. We’ve compiled the essentials on how to prepare for and utilize squad mode—which allows you to form a party with your own characters—to maximize your efficiency.

In short, it is a system that allows you to play two characters simultaneously on one screen. Once your main character reaches level 40, squad mode opens, allowing you to summon one alt character from your account to the fields to fight alongside you. If you don't have an alt yet, you can create one in the character selection screen and use the squad menu immediately.

You can summon and manage characters by clicking the squad mode icon on the left side of the main screen. Not only can both characters hunt simultaneously, but you can also switch between them in real-time using the switch button, eliminating the hassle of logging out and back in.

The two hardest things in a RPG are choosing a nickname and selecting a character. Once you start raising one, you end up spending a significant amount of resources. Squad characters are primarily intended to support your main character. Therefore, it is best to choose a class that doesn't require much micromanagement and is cost-effective.

One recommended class is the Ranger. Because they can safely secure monsters from a distance and hunt easily, they are the most reliable choice for environments where it is difficult to manage multiple characters. Another option to consider is the Knight; if you invest primarily in CON (Constitution), they act as a durable tank that can survive even with subpar equipment. If you were planning to raise a Mage, you might want to reconsider. While they seem appealing due to their many AOE skills, they require high investment to perform properly, and at lower specs, they risk drawing too much aggro and dying instantly.

Once you've created an alt, we recommend manually pushing through the main quest until level 20, where squad mode becomes available. Since some main quests do not progress automatically, you should focus for about 20 minutes to reach the level where auto-hunting is possible. Afterward, form a party in the Dungeon of Despair, which offers the highest efficiency, to level up before moving to higher-level dungeons. If you need Nine Cores, head to Medena Forest or the Orc Settlement; if you are looking to farm Unique equipment for a big score on the Market, try the Hero's Rest, Megalith Temple, or Coastal Garden.

When raising an alt for your squad, you might worry about costs. You may feel burdened by the thought of having to re-acquire core specs like Spirit Stones and God Armor, as well as consumables, from scratch for a new character.

However, there is no need to worry. Spirit Stones and God Armor in Enchantment are fully shared across your account. Your alt can equip the powerful Spirit Stones and God Armor you’ve painstakingly collected on your main. If you have spare Legend or Epic grade items, you can inherit high specs from the start for seamless hunting. In particular, actively utilizing the additional EXP gain effect from summoned Spirit Stones can speed up your alt's early leveling.

Similarly, you can transfer leftover recovery potions from your main to your alt. Give your alt the lower-grade potions you don't use, and keep only the Acceleration Potions, which are the minimum requirement for hunting. Food and buff potions obtained through leveling or quest rewards can all be moved to your main character via Storage. Since the EXP buffs from Spirit Stones and the stats from God Armor are enough for fast growth, there is no reason to waste doping items on an alt. Your collection effects are also shared, allowing for easy hunting even without doping.

However, not everything in your account is shared. Traits and level-up benefits are not. While it is unfortunate that the damage stats from your main's traits aren't shared, the fact that level-up benefits are not shared means you can receive items again on your alt. Once again, receive the Silver Weapon and send your squad party to the Undead hunting grounds to aim for rapid growth.

While it is an efficient system for managing multiple characters at once, you may end up at a disadvantage if you are unaware of the limitations of squad mode. What should you be careful about when operating squad mode?

The first thing to know is the hunting system. Squad party hunting in Enchantment operates on an individual combat structure rather than focusing fire on a single monster. Even if you form a party, the two characters will not attack the same monster but will target different monsters nearby. Therefore, if you blindly auto-hunt in high-level areas, you won't be 'bussed'—you'll only end up having to switch characters to recover lost EXP. Either hunt in areas appropriate for your alt, or, while your main is hunting, unequip the alt's weapon so they only gain EXP without drawing aggro.

If you have started a squad with your main and alt, make sure to form a party. It is easy to lose track of your alt or main while multitasking on one screen, but keeping the party frame visible allows you to check remaining HP in real-time and prevent unexpected deaths. Even if you are separated on different maps for quests, you can check HP in real-time via the party frame, so always form a party when starting squad mode.

Another point to remember is that squad mode is not supported in offline play. The offline play convenience feature in Enchantment only supports one character per account. If you are hunting with an alt or main in squad mode and then close the game to switch to offline play, the character in squad mode will automatically be deactivated and logged out.

Because of this, you must check your hunting grounds. If you force an alt into a high-level area and support them with your main, then close the game, your main will log out, leaving the weak alt alone in the hunting ground where they may be killed by monsters. To enjoy the synergy of squad mode, do not just close the game; ensure you stay online or verify which character is currently logged in. Also, note that squad mode is only supported in hunting grounds from the Dungeon of Despair onwards, so check before you play.

Squad mode is a system that guarantees efficiency for users who want to raise more characters. However, if you don't understand the system, it can actually hinder your growth. Remember the points: choosing the right character, pushing quests to level 20, and maintaining a party with constant monitoring, and you can complete your own powerful squad.
