How to play: beginner tips
- Learn each boss's tells on a throwaway attempt before committing resources.
- Pets and companions usually give passive boosts — equip the best ones even if they look plain.
- Keep a few spare materials; recipes often unlock faster than you expect.
- Commit to one build until it is online — spreading points thin slows the early game.
- Split roles with friends — one scout, one builder, one fighter — instead of all doing the same job.
- Reinvest early earnings into upgrades that raise income, not cosmetics.
