Quick Start
Start strong
You begin at level 8 with 180 gold. Clear waves, loot the ground, then spend your intermission gold on upgrades, potions, and eventually mercenaries.
Every kill matters
Each kill gives every controllable friendly unit 15x the monster's base experience, and ground gold is 0.45x base experience rounded to at least 1.
Farm on purpose
If progression stalls, lock a comfortable wave, stabilize your build, and use retries to fish inside the 80-120% threat reroll band before pushing again.
