If you want to progress smoothly through story content, clear bosses easily, and raise your Combat Power (CP) efficiently in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin, you must focus on the highest-impact progression systems in the correct order. This guide combines key advice to help you become stronger quickly without wasting resources. Check it out now!
What Is Combat Power？
Combat Power is not simply the sum of all your heroes' Attack, because each hero has different stats. It is a comprehensive score that sums up your team’s Attack, Defense, HP, and other stats from characters, weapons, gear, Mastery, and Potential Points.
While a high CP is important, you should prioritize upgrades that directly increase actual combat performance, especially Attack for your main DPS, rather than just chasing inflated power numbers.
A character with high Attack will perform far better than one with similar CP but low offensive stats. For example, if your Meliodas has 10k attack and I have 25k power is way worse than this Meliodas that has 20.5 attack.
Begin with the Book of Stars & World Level
Your absolute first focus is leveling up the Book of Stars, as it controls your World Level, the foundation of all account progression. Raising your World Level unlocks higher-tier materials, better rewards, and stronger enemies, which in turn makes Mastery and equipment upgrades far more effective. You should push the main story and complete related objectives to raise your Book of Stars level daily; reaching World Level 2 early will significantly speed up your farming efficiency and material quality.
Top Priority: Mastery
After the Book of Stars, Mastery is the most powerful system for rapid CP and stat growth.
The shared nodes in the Mastery tree provide percentage-based Attack, Defense, and HP boosts for your entire team, making them vastly more valuable than weapon-specific nodes. You should always unlock shared nodes first, and only invest in weapon-specific nodes after exhausting team-wide upgrades.
For weapons you do not actively use, simply level their Mastery to around 10–20, as you gain 30% of their Attack passively without heavy investment.
Always focus most of your Mastery resources on your main DPS character, such as Meliodas, to maximize damage gains. Because health is shared across your whole team. So for non-DPS characters, focus on HP gear to increase the team's total health. Your main DPS should get the best offensive gear, like Attack sets.
Weapon Enhancement
Weapons are another critical source of Attack, and you should fill every weapon slot as soon as possible.
Even SR weapons contribute to your team’s overall stats, and enhancing your main DPS’s weapon to level 30 or higher will give you a massive early power spike. You should avoid investing heavily in blue (R) rarity weapons and focus on purple (SR) or higher.
Enhancement materials can be obtained from field bosses, missions, and the shop, so be sure to allocate them wisely.
Gear, Set Bonuses, and Outfits
Gear and set bonuses play a major role in your overall strength.
Higher gear score directly increases CP, and full 7‑piece sets provide powerful additional bonuses that far outweigh mixed high-rare items. For your main DPS, you should farm Attack and Pierce sets, while supports and tanks should prioritize HP and Defense to boost the team’s shared health bar. Do not refine or enchant low-rarity gear, as these resources are much better spent on high-rare items with strong base stats.
Outfits are another easy source of free power; early outfits have low scores, but late-game outfits with 130+ score provide huge stat boosts and can be shown from NPCs on the map.
Long-Term Boosts: Potential Points
Potential Points are permanent stat upgrades for individual characters, earned through duplicates or Mastery progress.
While they add up over time, they are a long-term investment and should not take priority over Mastery, weapons, or gear early on. They provide consistent but slow growth, so you can invest in them passively as you progress.
Late-Game Optimization: Refining, Enchanting, and Engraving
Late-game optimization systems including refining, enchanting, and engraving should be saved for high-quality gear only, as they consume significant resources and carry risks of low rolls.
- Refining improves useful sub-stats on strong gear
- Enchanting adds random bonus stats to weapons,
- Engraving combines pieces into stronger items.
You should only engage with these systems once you have reliable, high-rarity equipment worth the investment.
Conclusion
To summarize the fastest and most efficient path to power: first, raise your Book of Stars and World Level; second, max out shared Mastery for your main DPS; third, enhance your main DPS weapon to 30 or higher; fourth, equip a full 7‑piece gear set; fifth, upgrade secondary weapons for passive Attack; and finally, equip high-score outfits.
By following this priority order and concentrating resources on your main carry, you will see dramatic improvements in your team’s strength and be able to clear all early and mid-game content with ease.
