Beginner Help?

[Viv91]

Does anyone have any basic tips for beginners? I saw some of this on youtube and it looked super interesting!

use the discussion board to learn all the combinations and complete your combination board. I think thats the best way to learn the game and get acquainted with how things work. I.E learning how to build the crossblades early and what complements each other like the book of light and holy armor. besides that experiment with all the different items and why gems can't carry a run by them selves but other items can. most importanly have fun and don't get stuck into one strategy. too many people complaining about how one build is op just to see someone else post about how weak and counterable it is. I have had the most fun in silver just messing around in unranked. This isn't a serious game like dota or lol where you get dopamine from being the top player. With it being a demo I feel most of the fun is from the theorycrafting and making builds that don't look like they work win survival.

Discovering combos naturally by yourself is half of the fun as you learn and explore the game. Don't rob yourself of this pleasure, OP. Playing any game for the first time is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.

Play games un-ranked so you can discover with no pressure. Pay attention to synergies when placing items (yellow or green stars). Look at your stamina bar when a battle is playing out to see if it's something you need to fix or adjust in your build. Look at what other people are playing to get ideas. Try not to stress too much about being successful - that'll come with time and game knowledge. Food types are quite strong as a core of most builds even if it's just 3-4 placed together. Have fun!

beginner tipps:

bags grand effects too.
only 1 item slot has to be in the bag to get the effect.
means: overlap an item across multiple bags for max effect.
( example: reaper: dagger in coffin and flappy bag, for poison and speed )

pay atention to stars and green diamons around an item.
those slots are usualy more worth than the item itself.

dont waste cash on rerolls, money carries over to the next round.

bag building:
use the arrow keys to move the entire backpack around.
no need do deconstruct everytime

pull the white arrow on the bottom to remove all items but save the bags as are.

discount items cost as much as they sell for, consider buying them for alternate build progression.

the game spoils posible merges by a thin blue line conecting the items.
that line turns yellow when placed next to one aonther, which also means they merge after the next turn
locking an item prevents it from merging even with the correct combo pieces around.
( you might not always want to merge gem stones or mana orbs )

stick with one theme... a little bit of everything wont work out long term.

items you bought last turn, cant appear in shop this turn.
very important if you try to do the wetstone dagger upgrades or gem stones.
you have to lock a wetstone and reroll until you get at least a 2nd one to be turn efficient.
