Progression guide

First hour ends on Stage 7 with Phantom Violet equipped. Mid game breaks Stage 8 and farms Ember. Late game crafts light + Apex armor, then Enhances keep-pieces.

Deep links: codes, dungeon, forge.

First-session route

Redeem official codes. Open Shop (left trolley icon), scroll to Codes at the bottom, paste, then Submit. Redeem 50000CCU for Ember Stones while it is still on the experience description.
Roll a starting race. Spend early Race Rolls. Dragonkin or Goblin help early training and clears. Human is the default and has no buffs.
Train Power on the highest pad. Click in the strongest training multiplier you can use, then enter the pink Dungeon portal.
Push to Stage 7 and farm Jackal Zombies. Clear early goblin and desert stages, then loop Stage 7 for Gold, Sapphire, Obsidian, Emerald, Mystic Crystal, and Fire Crystal.
Forge Phantom Violet before Stage 8. Open Forge (up to four ore types). Gold, Obsidian, Sapphire, and Fire Crystal make Phantom Violet. Equip from Backpack before you force Desert Reaper.
Sell dupes, buy bag space. Sell common ores and extra weapons for Coins. Buy Max Ore Count first (claim Index bag rewards too), then Train Boost. Add Luck after bag space stops forcing mid-run sells.

Early to late goals

Each band has one job. Do not Enhance trash or force Stage 8 before you forge.

Early: Stage 7 loop. Goal is a forged Weapon you Equip, plus Max Ore Count. Stay on Stage 7 until Phantom Violet (or a stronger listed craft) is on and bag space does not force mid-run sells.
Mid: break Stage 8, then rebirth pads. Stage 8 is a gear wall. Forge first, train on the highest pad, then push. Rebirth when Power stalls so stronger training pads and Frostbound Tower unlock. Sell duplicate weapons to fund Train Boost and Luck.
Mid: Tower for Ember, not AFK early halls. Once Tower Tickets open, use Frostbound Tower to farm Ember Stones for Enhance. Tower pays Ember faster than AFK Stages 1-6. Open Tower after Stage 7 farms run clean.
Late: Apex armor on the light tab. Farm Apex on Stage 12+. Craft Eternal Helmet and Warlord Golden with light helmet or light armor plus Apex. Heavy mixes waste Apex. Equip the set, then Enhance only those keep-pieces.
Late: Enhance with Protection from +6. Enhance the weapon and Apex armor you keep. From Enhance +6 up, fails can drop the level. Use Protection Scrolls on those pushes. Enchant runes stay a separate station after you have Tower or dungeon runes.

Common mistakes

Selling every ore. Rare ores craft stronger weapons. Check Forge before you dump Gold, Obsidian, Sapphire, or Fire Crystal stacks.
Leaving crafts unequipped. Forged weapons sit in Backpack until you Equip them on the Weapon tab.
Skipping Max Ore Count. Low bag space forces early sells mid Stage 7. Buy Max Ore Count with Coins first, and claim Index rewards that raise the bag.
Rushing Stage 8 / Desert Reaper. Stage 8 is a gear wall. Farm Stage 7 and forge before you force Pharaoh rooms.
Training on a weak pad. When a higher multiplier unlocks after rebirth, move to it. Low pads waste the session.
Mixing Enhance and Enchant. Ember Stones go to Enhance. Runes go to Enchant. Different stations, different costs.
Heavy base on Apex armor crafts. Eternal Helmet and Warlord Golden both want light bases plus Apex. Heavy armor mixes miss those crafts.
Enhancing trash pieces. Ember and Protection Scrolls belong on the weapon and Apex armor you keep. Do not Enhance every random forge.

FAQ

What should I do first?

Redeem codes, roll a race, train Power, clear into Stage 7, forge Phantom Violet, Equip, then buy Max Ore Count.

What is the mid-game goal?

Break Stage 8 with a forged weapon and Power, rebirth into better training pads, then use Frostbound Tower for Ember when you start Enhancing keep-pieces.

What is the late-game armor goal?

Farm Apex, craft Eternal Helmet and Warlord Golden on the light tab, Equip them, then Enhance those pieces. Protect Enhance +6 and above with Protection Scrolls.

When should I rebirth?

Rebirth when Power gains stall and gear no longer pushes stages. Forged weapons and armor stay. Race unlocks stay in the index. Higher rebirths unlock stronger pads and Tower.

Where is the forge?

Hub cauldron near the Sell Stall. Add up to four ore types, confirm, then Equip from Backpack.
