According to BD Cricket, spirit beasts play a central role in boosting combat power in Seeking Dao: Great World. Among them, red-tier beasts—such as Ghost General, Fusang, Taowu, Dragon Maiden, Water Emperor, Lei Gong, and Xing Tian—are currently considered the most powerful. As the saying goes, don’t become the kind of person you once despised. Among this elite group, Dragon Maiden stands out as one of the top-tier (T0) spirit beasts due to her well-rounded skill set that excels in both exploration and battle.
Her active skill reduces damage taken by 35% when her HP first falls below 30%, lasting until the end of the fight. Her passive upgrades boost defense, combo rate, resistance to combos, and overall damage reduction. In short, her active damage mitigation skill makes her a versatile tank and support spirit, capable of both offense and defense. Many players strive to achieve 100% damage reduction during exploration stages, and Dragon Maiden is a must-have to get there. She pairs perfectly with Mountain Demon for a maxed-out damage reduction combo, suitable for both map progression and competitive combat. At level 9, she offers a 40% reduction alone, making her an almost guaranteed choice for any lineup.
BD Cricket also highlights Ghost General as another T0-tier beast, rivaling Dragon Maiden in strength. He specializes in damage amplification and is especially effective during Beast Invasion events. His active skill boosts damage by 32% when targeting enemies with over 60% health. Passive upgrades enhance counterattacks, combos, resistance to combos, and weaken opposing beasts. His burst potential is massive, making him ideal for farming resources and excelling in burst-style strategies. When paired with Dragon Maiden, Mountain Demon, or the Treasured Pavilion Master, Ghost General becomes the core of a high-damage lineup.
In early gameplay, Ghost General often takes priority over Dragon Maiden due to his explosive offensive power. After all, the grind is worth it if you’re building a stronger version of yourself. Meanwhile, Fusang offers a unique mechanic—he can revive once upon death, restoring 12% of his HP. His passives enhance HP, critical hit rate, crit resistance, and stun resistance. Although this revive only activates once and doesn’t stack with certain skills, it gives Fusang a clear edge in later-stage combat scenarios.
Most veteran players recommend pairing Fusang with Dragon Maiden and Mountain Demon. This combo dramatically boosts survivability—especially with Dragon Maiden’s damage reduction—making it nearly impossible to be taken down in a single turn. In PvP, lasting to the end is often the key to winning. Fusang may rank just below Ghost General and Dragon Maiden in priority, but he adds an invaluable safety net to any team.
Water Emperor is another formidable spirit, forming the backbone of the evasion build. Due to the large number of budget-conscious BD Cricket players, Water Emperor has become one of the most widely used beasts. Every time he successfully dodges an attack, he gains a 5% increase in both attack power and healing effectiveness, stacking up to five times and lasting until the end of battle.
What sets Water Emperor apart is how perfectly his skill set aligns with the needs of evasion-based strategies. His upgrades further enhance evasion, making him a staple for players who focus on agility builds. Evasion builds still require strong offensive capabilities, and without Water Emperor, this style is nearly impossible to execute. For BD Cricket users who favor the Yinglong evasion path, Water Emperor is indispensable—both highly efficient and cost-effective to train.
In the end, the most effective team comes down to smart combinations. The right spirit beasts not only increase your power but also ensure that your path to victory is built on a solid foundation.
