Progression tips

Open with Attack then Crit Chance, enchant Power before polishing Traits, stack a Nightmare-clearable damage core before max-damage polish, claim lobby rewards between runs, respect crit hard caps, park in AFK for coins / gems / lucky spins, and buy only listed store pass effects.

  1. Spend the first Skill Token on Attack. XP from clears becomes Skill Tokens. Paths cover Attack, Critical Chance, Defense, and Speed. Buy the opening Attack node first (15% damage for 1 token), then Crit Chance when you stop dying to basics.
  2. Enchant Power before polishing Traits. Enchants and Traits are separate. Roll Power in the Enchant area for early damage. Chase Hunter, Bloodlust, or Supernova later on keepers.
  3. Stack a damage core before polish. Max-damage builds use Flame Director or Cataclysm, Deadeye / Supernova / Ferocity Traits, Blast Archer accessories, and damage titles. Clear Nightmare Story first, then chase the stack.
  4. Reroll the weapon you have equipped. Trait rerolls only hit the currently equipped weapon. Use the Keep Traits list before Auto Reroll. Aimable pity lets you pick the guaranteed high-tier Trait.
  5. Claim milestones, quests, achievements, titles. Lobby progress piles up between runs. Equip titles when they unlock. Update 1 Claim All speeds quest pickup.
  6. Respect crit hard caps. Default crit damage is 200%. Hard caps sit at 60% crit chance, 275% crit damage, and 40% CDR. Past that, chase other stats.
  7. Park in AFK when you step away. AFK pays 10 coins per second, 50 gems every 2 minutes, and 1 lucky spin every 15 minutes. Trait rerolls no longer come from AFK.
  8. Use material pity and the crafting shop. Oct 2 added a guarantee after 5 runs without a given material. Buy missing pieces from the material shop inside crafting when you need them. Craft damage accessories for slow clears, health while learning bosses.
  9. Buy passes for listed store effects only. Store prices: VIP 499, VIP+ 899, 2X Drop Rate 699, Instant Spins 149 Robux. Instant Spins skips summon and trait reroll animations and works with Auto Spin / Auto Reroll.
