Demon Domain SSR Soulbloom Guide

Last Updated: February 2, 2024

Introduction

Demon domain is one of the best ways to gain SSR Soulblooms in the game. This project seeks to answer the question: "What area is best to explore for getting the most SSR soulblooms?"

If all you care about is what the optimal strategy for farming SSR Soulblooms in Demon Domain is, skip to conclusions.

Methodology

Demons

Each enemy is represented in code using a class 'Demon', which contains:

a probability of a player defeating it (float)
possibly rewarded ssr soulblooms (list)

If an enemy has:

3 rewards which drop 0 ssr soulblooms
a reward which drops 5 ssr soulblooms

Its rewards may be represented as:

[0, 0, 0, 5]

Probability of defeating an enemy will be represented as a float. (eg. 10% -> 0.1, 100% -> 1.0)

From this information, the average ssr soulblooms rewarded per challenge and per victory of each enemy can be calculated.

Areas

Dark Forest area is ignored due to not rewarding any ssr soulblooms.

Each area is represented in code using a class 'Area', which contains:

stamina consumed per exploration (int)
all possible enemies which can be encountered (list[Demon])

Stamina consumed per exploration:

Bone Altar: 2
Dead Zone: 3

Possibly encountered enemies will be stored as discussed above in the 'Demons' section.

Enemies in Bone Altar:

Fury Dragon Bell
Fury Guard
...
Gold Demonic Chest
Hidden Cave

From this information, the average ssr soulblooms rewarded per exploration and per stamina consumed can be calculated.

Assumptions Made

This section holds assumptions made either about the player or the game:

Enemies are assumed to have an equal probability of dropping any of their rewards
Enemies (unless otherwise specified) are assumed to have a 100% chance of being defeated by the player
Chests are assumed to go unopened
Chiyou is assumed to have a 10% chance of being defeated by the player
Fellow cultivators are assumed to have a 30% chance of being defeated by the player
Players do not receive assistance from teammates

Results

Bone Altar

Each exploration yields an average of 0.748 ssr soulblooms.

Each stamina consumed yields an average of 0.374 ssr soulblooms.

Dead Zone

Each exploration yields an average of 0.482 ssr soulblooms.

Each stamina consumed yields an average of 0.161 ssr soulblooms.

Conclusions

The optimal area for farming SSR soulblooms may change in the future, but as of February 2, 2024:

For most people, exploring Bone Altar will yield over twice as many SSR soulblooms overall.

To maximize the amount of SSR soulblooms collected in demon domain, a player must get out of Dark Forest as quickly as possible, then explore Bone Altar as much as possible.
