How to Obtain Ultimate Skills In Obliterate Excry (March 2026) Full Guide
If you’ve been playing Obliterate for a while, you know that basic skills only get you so far. To really dominate the late-game content, you need power. And that power comes in the form of Ultimate Skills. But here’s the catch: you can’t just buy them with gold. You need Excry.
I’ve spent countless hours grinding through the latest update, testing every method imaginable to stockpile this precious resource. In this comprehensive guide, I’m going to walk you through exactly what Excry is, the most efficient ways to farm it, and the step-by-step process to obtaining those game-changing Ultimate Skills. Trust me, once you unlock these, your gameplay will change forever.
Let’s dive right into the most efficient strategies to max out your roster in March 2026.
What is Excry?
Before we get into the grinding strategies, it’s important to understand the currency we are chasing. Excry is a rare, end-game resource in Obliterate specifically designed to upgrade standard abilities into Ultimate Skills. Unlike standard crafting materials, Excry has a cap on how much you can hold daily, making inventory management and strategic spending crucial.
Here’s a quick overview of the Excry system:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Currency Name | Excry |
| Primary Use | Unlocking and upgrading Ultimate Skills |
| Daily Cap | 500 Units (Free-to-Play) / 800 Units (Premium) |
| Key Locations | Void Rifts, World Bosses, Guild Events |
| Value | Extremely High(Do not waste on low-tier chars) |
How to Obtain Ultimate Skills: Step-by-Step Guide
Obtaining an Ultimate Skill isn’t just about having the currency; it’s about following a specific progression path. If you try to unlock these too early, you’ll waste resources. Here is the exact process I recommend for March 2026.
Prerequisites
Before you even think about spending Excry, ensure your character is:
- Level 60: Ultimate Skills are locked until max level.
- Awakened Tier 3: You must have completed the third awakening quest.
- Core Skill Level 10: Your basic active skill must be maxed out.
The Unlocking Process
Step 1: Access the Skill Matrix
Once your character meets the prerequisites, a new tab called “Ultimate Matrix” will light up in the skill menu. This is where the magic happens.
Step 2: The Offering
To initialize the Ultimate Skill, you need an initial offering of 100 Excry. This doesn’t unlock the skill yet but creates the “Slot.”
Step 3: Material Fusion
After the slot is created, you need to fuse specific materials found in The Excrytor Dimension (we’ll cover this in farming). You need:
- 5x Crystalized Essence
- 10x Void Dust
- Another 100 Excry
Step 4: Activation
Once fused, the skill activates. However, it starts at Level 1. You need to pump more Excry into it to scale its damage to viable levels for current content.
Top 5 Methods to Farm Excry in 2026
Now that you know how to spend it, let’s talk about how to get it. The meta has shifted slightly this March, so some old methods aren’t as effective as they used to be. Here are the top five methods I use to max out my daily Excry intake.
1. The Void Rifts (Best Efficiency)
This is currently the single best source of Excry. The Void Rifts are rotating dungeons that change every 24 hours.
- Strategy: Focus on the “Fire and Ice” rift. The mob density is highest here, allowing you to clear waves faster.
- Pro Tip: Use AoE (Area of Effect) characters. The rift timer is strict, and single-target DPS will fail to hit the Excry bonus thresholds.
- Yield: ~150 Excry per clear (Bonus included).
2. World Boss “The Excrytor”
Sounds on the nose, right? But this boss drops the material directly.
- Strategy: Join a guild. Soloing this is nearly impossible unless you are a top-tier whale. The guild raid allows you to chip away at his HP bar.
- Mechanic: Every time the boss transitions phases (at 75%, 50%, and 25% HP), he drops Excry crystals on the ground. You must pick these up during the fight.
- Yield: ~200 Excry based on contribution.
3. The Arena (PVP)
If you are competitive, this is for you. The game rewards Excry based on your rank at the end of the week.
- Strategy: Don’t push for Diamond immediately. Stay in Platinum III early in the week to farm weaker opponents, then push on the last two days.
- Yield: 300-500 Excry weekly.
4. Daily Expedition Chests
Don’t ignore your standard daily quests. While the Excry amount seems small, it adds up.
- The 7-Day Streak: If you log in 7 days in a row, the 7th chest guarantees a “Large Excry Fragment” (worth 50 Excry).
- Yield: ~50 Excry daily.
5. Merchant Restocks
Every 48 hours, the wandering merchant in the Hub area sells Excry.
- Currency: He accepts “Glory Tokens” which you get from重复跑图重复跑图.
- Priority: This should be your first stop. Buy him out immediately. If you wait, other players might trigger a server-wide price hike (a mechanic introduced in the 2026 update).
- Yield: ~100 Excry every 2 days.
Advanced Strategies: Maximizing Your Excry Income
Getting the Excry is one thing; optimizing the time it takes to get it is another. I’ve learned some tricks that cut my farming time in half. Use these to stay ahead of the curve.
The “AoE Zerg” Comp
When farming Void Rifts or Excry-specific dungeons, stop trying to play balanced. You want speed.
- Composition: 1 Tank (just to survive the first hit) + 3 AoE Mages.
- Why: Clearing waves in 2 seconds instead of 10 seconds means 5x the Excry per hour.
- Recommended Heroes: Ignis, Frostweaver, and the new character “Vortex.”
Resource Management
One of the biggest mistakes I see is players hoarding Excry or spending it too early.
- The Rule of 500: Never spend Excry until you have 500 in your bank. Emergency events often pop up that require Excry for entry, and if you are at 0, you miss out on massive rewards.
- Target Spending: Do not unlock Ultimates for every character. Pick your Main Team (4 characters) and your Bench Team (2 characters). Pour everything into them. A jack of all trades is master of none in Obliterate.
Who Should You Give Ultimate Skills To? (Tier List)
Spending Excry on the wrong character is painful. To help you decide, I’ve compiled a quick priority list based on the current March meta.
| S-Tier (Must Unlock) | A-Tier (Strong Choice) | B-Tier (Situational) |
|---|---|---|
| Seraphina: Her Ultimate scales infinitely with enemy HP count. | Kael: Good burst, but falls off late game. | Guardian Boros: Only for tank-heavy content. |
| The Shadow: Highest single-target DPS in game. | Luna: Great support ult, but requires high gear. | Ranger Rick: Niche usage in specific raids. |
| Mystic Vera: Her Ult heals and buffs the team. | Blaze: Decent AoE but outclassed by S-Tier. | Any F2P Starter units: Save your Excry for Gacha pulls. |
Common Mistakes to Avoid
I learned these the hard way so you don’t have to.
- Ignoring the “Small” Sources: That 5 Excry you get from a random chest? Grab it. Over a month, that’s hundreds of Excry.
- Unlocking Too Early: Do not unlock an Ultimate if your gear score is below the recommended cap for the current chapter. The skill damage scales off your Attack stat. If your gear is trash, the Ultimate is just a fancy light show.
- Forgetting the Guild Event: The “Excry Summon” guild event is a goldmine. Missing this one weekend event sets your progress back by a week.
Troubleshooting: Why Can’t I Find Excry?
Sometimes, the game glitches, or sometimes it’s player error. If you aren’t seeing Excry drops:
- Check Your Inventory: Is it full? Excry won’t drop if your material bag is maxed out. Sell common items first.
- Difficulty Level: Excry only drops on “Hard” difficulty and above for Story Mode. If you are farming on Normal, stop. You are wasting stamina.
- Server Lag: Sometimes you pick up the item, but the server delays the registration. Wait about 10 seconds before leaving the map to ensure the drop “syncs.”
The Future of Excry in 2026
Developers have hinted that a new “Excry Refining” system is coming in the next major patch. This will allegedly allow us to convert lower-tier crafting materials into Excry, albeit at a bad exchange rate. Keep an eye on the official Discord for this update. It might be worth hoarding your extra crafting materials right now just in case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy Excry with real money?
Not directly. You can buy stamina boosts or event passes that help you farm Excry faster, but there is no “Excry Pack” in the shop. This keeps the playing field relatively fair regarding skills.
What happens if I use a character with an unlocked Ultimate Skill in an “Awakening Only” restriction?
The Ultimate Skill is disabled, but the passive stats you gained from the process of unlocking it (the base stats boost) usually remain. However, the active skill cannot be used in those specific dungeons.
Is it possible to reset Excry skills?
Yes, but it’s expensive. You can buy an “Excry Reset Stone” from the PvP shop. It refunds 100% of the Excry used. Only use this if you accidentally maxed a B-Tier character.
How often do the Void Rifts change?
The rotation happens every 24 hours at midnight server time. Make sure to log in daily to check if the “High Density” rift is up, as that is the best farming spot.
Do Ultimate Skills work in PvP?
Absolutely. In fact, they are often the deciding factor in Arena matches. A well-timed Ultimate can wipe an entire team if they are clumped together. However, be careful—the cast time leaves you vulnerable to stuns.
Conclusion
Mastering the Obliterate Excry system is the difference between being a casual player and a top-tier contender. It requires patience, smart farming, and strategic spending. By following the methods outlined in this guide—specifically focusing on the Void Rifts and prioritizing your S-Tier characters—you will see your power levels skyrocket.
Remember, this game is a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t burn out grinding for Excry 24/7. Stick to the daily caps, optimize your routes, and you’ll have those Ultimate Skills unlocked in no time.
Good luck, and may your Excry drops be legendary.
