Thea Wisdom of the Gods Leveling Guide
Last Updated:July 4, 2024|Change Log
Welcome to the Thea Wisdom of the Gods Leveling Guide Thea channels the power of the 6 gods through her Blessings, so naturally her identity revolves around using Agility Blessing, Focus Blessing, and Tenacity Blessing to charge Divine Punishment for massive damage. Thea is a great choice for both Spell builds, or Attack builds, and her builds unleash massive bursts of damage!
| The leveling guide is intended to take your character to Level 90. This is the last level with unlimited free respec points. Be sure to check the final section of the guide for recommendations on how to transition into the Endgame! |
- Freeze
- Moves quickly
- Screen wide clear

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 Elemental Whisper Belt, Rock Lizard's Skull and Lonesome.
- Nectar Valley (L16): Look out for Omniscient Prototype and Photophobia.
- Dawn Avenue (L27): Look out for Feline Gloves and Grace Boots.
- Sanctuary of Solitude (L35): Look out for Omniscient Prototype.
- Silver Sands' End (L44): Look out for Chain of Resistance
- Hall of Grandiosity (L54): Look out for Omniscient Prototype and anything not found from prior Treasure Troves.
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 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.
- Complete all 10 Levels of the Hero Forge to unlock all of your Hero Trait abilities and gain 6 additional Talent Points.
- 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.
Equipment & Stat Priorities
Look for these Offensive stats on weapons:
- Spell Skill Level
- Fire/Lightning/Cold Damage to Spells
- Cast Speed
- % Cold/Spell/Elemental Damage
- Spell Critical Strike Chance
- Critical Damage
Look for these Defensive stats on armor:
- Max Life
- Life %
- Armor
To learn how to easily find items with these stats, check out the Loot Filter Guide.
Core Skills
- Ring of Ice unleashes a Cold AoE Nova around you, Freezing and obliterating nearby enemies. Whenever you kill an enemy with this skill, you have a chance to trigger another Ring of Ice, making this a great pack clearing tool!
- Mana Boil grants a large Additional Spell Damage multiplier whilst draining your current Mana.
- A Mana regeneration roll on your amulet completely mitigates that downside and allows you to have 100% uptime on the Mana Boil buff.
- Spiral Strike allows you to rapidly traverse stages. This requires using a melee weapon so equip Daggers as early as you can.
- Frigid Transmission is the best secondary movement skill option due to its cooldown being reset when you Freeze enemies. Support it with skills that increase your cooldown recovery speed and grant additional charges of the skill.
- Compound Source is your main way to quickly Restore Life and Mana whenever needed.
Leveling Progression
WARNING: The following levels are a guideline, you might complete the quest/unlock the Skill a few levels early, or a few levels later!

Move to slider at the bottom to interact with the Tool
Use the Embed to the left to follow along with Support Skill progression!
- Level 1: Support your Fire Burst with Efficient Cast.
Equip the following as you obtain them:
- Level 3: Support Compound Potion with Limber Stretch.
- Equip Frigid Transmission.
- Level 7: Switch Fire Burst with Ring of Ice.
- Support it with Freeze Chance
- Level 12: Equip 2 Daggers, move Frigid Transmission to Slot 4, equip Spiral Strike in Slot 3.
- Level 17-25: Swap Efficient Cast with Psychic Burst
- Add Mana Boil
- Level 26-54: Continue filling out supports on your utility skills. After switching to Ring of Ice and Spiral Strike you don't need to switch skills. Instead the goal is to slowly add on Supports and Auras as you gain Energy and levels.
Level 55: At this point you have access to every skill in the game, continue to follow the embed shown as you gain more Energy.
You can use Concentrated with 2 Auras because Frigid Domain does not "affect" you!
Once you obtain Off The Beaten Track you can add significantly more Support Skills to your Auras. This is a large damage boost and comes towards the end of your leveling journey.
To learn more check out the Skills and Passives Guide.
Talents
Move to slider at the bottom to interact with the Tool
Goddess of Knowledge
Reaching level 12 grants Beacon which allows you to generate Spell Burst. This is the core of your build as it causes your Ring of Ice to cast multiple times. Preparation gives a significant amount of Cast Speed and a reliable way to generate Focus Blessings
Magister
This tree grants an additional Spell Burst as well as strong Focus Blessing synergies.
Warlock
Is the best tree for quality of life, granting huge amounts of cooldown, Empower skill effect and an additional charge of cooldown Skills.
As you progress the build further, Off The Beaten Track combined with Precise: Seal Conversion allows you to run a lot more Auras. This should only be done late into the endgame once you have a good amount of Energy Shield so you can Seal more of your Life.
The Cast and Attack Speed penalty from Indifference slows your Spell Burst in exchange for significantly higher uptime on buffs from your Divine Punishment.
There are tons of different Talent Trees to explore, if you want to learn more about this robust system check out our Talent Tree Guide.
Traits, Relics and Memories
Hero Traits
Level 45: Predicted Harvest grants significant amounts of chance to deal Double Damage. Early on Predicted Judgment can be better but only if you consistently hit enemies with your Divine Punishment.
Level 75: Predicted Sacrifice, as the build uses Warlock to stack Cooldown recovery speed it's possible to maintain 100% uptime on the 40% Additional Damage buff.
Level 90: By 80 you should swap to a different build, however if you're still playing this, Farewell Prophecy transforms your double damage into Quadruple damage allowing you to hit even harder during the burst window.
- Recently is 4 seconds.
- Quadruple Damage overrides Double Damage.
Relics and Memories
Look for any combination of the following stats on your Hero Relics and Memories;
| Hero Relic | Hero Memories |
| Additional Damage if Divine Punishment Consumes Max Focus Blessings | Attack and Cast Speed |
| Max Life and Energy Shield | Cooldown Recovery Speed |
| Attack and Cast Speed | All damage for each stack Divine Punishment consumes recently |
To learn more, check out our Hero Relic and Hero Memory Guide.
Divinity Slates
When leveling Thea Wisdom of the Gods, look for any Divinity Slates containing these talents;
| Legendary | Medium & Minor |
| +1 All Skills' / Cold Skill Level | Intelligence |
| Own 1 Additional stack of Focus Blessing | Spell Burst Charge Speed |
| Max Focus Blessing +1 | Critical Strike Damage |
| Chance to Gain Tenacity/Agility Blessing on Focus Blessing | Freeze Duration |
| Spell Critical Strike Damage Per Focus Blessing | -Sealed Mana |

The Netherrealm
Racing through your Netherrealm quests as quickly as possible results in you becoming under leveled for the required zones to progress further, stay within 3 levels of the zones you're completing to avoid a harsh experience penalty. Check out our How to Progress the Netherrealm if you're unsure of anything.
Here's a list of things to do while progressing the early stages of the Netherrealm;
- Level 60: the Trade House is unlocked. Be sure to read and understand our Trade House for Beginners Guide before making any big purchases.
- Higher item levels of gear come with higher quantities of Energy. Look to improve your current gear with items that have increased Energy so that you can use more Support Skills.
- Higher item levels of gear come with higher quantities of Energy. Look to improve your current gear with items that have increased Energy so that you can use more Support Skills.
- Utilize Prototype Crafting and Enchanting to greatly increase the power of gear you come across. It costs very low amounts of Flame Sand to lock 1 good affix in place and reroll up to 4 new modifiers. Legendary Gear with Legendary Aptitude allows you to roll mods and craft on those items well.
- Farm your Voyager's set for powerful bonuses!
