Run Ramparts for early gear and XP

Ramparts campaign or, after its campaign clear, Ramparts Survival.

Before you go

Open Ramparts from the map selector and choose the highest difficulty you can finish without repeated crystal losses.
Review the map lanes during the build phase and place defenses to cover enemy approaches.
Open accessible chests and collect mana needed for the setup.
Begin combat and watch which lanes strain your defenses; repair and upgrade between enemy groups when safe.
Collect useful weapons and armor from the floor and compare them with what your heroes wear.
Complete the campaign mission, then inspect the completion drops and experience earned.
At the Tavern forge, retain upgrades and sell surplus items for mana.

A lower setting that finishes reliably often yields more useful progress than repeatedly restarting a harder attempt.
Ramparts is a progression farm; reevaluate gear after each clear instead of keeping every drop.

Repeat full campaign clears while the map provides upgrades, experience, or worthwhile sellable gear. Drops vary between runs.

Using a fragile new hero as the only defender: let a proven builder establish defenses first.
Keeping every drop: retain useful upgrades and sell the rest to fund repairs and improvements.
Treating Insane as mandatory: lower the setting if defenses are not holding.

Move to Endless Spires or another newly manageable map when Ramparts stops producing meaningful equipment upgrades.
