How to start
Feel the shot first, pick one job, then queue. Mash buttons later. The live place is still [ALPHA].
- Feel the shot. Follow the beginner path into Learn PB, then Gym. Timing beats a fancy attribute card.
- Pick one job. Choose height, attributes, badges, takeover, and animations for one role. Example sheets are on best builds.
- Queue smart. Park or Blacktop for casual runs. Warm up before ranked Rec placements. Plaza is cosmetics only.
- Spend coins last. Grab codes first, then tutorials and animation packs. Clean Cuts natural colors are often free.
