The Core Loop
1. Redeem codes first — Open the in-game code/reward interface and claim active boosts before a long session.
2. Use a simple starter option — M1-friendly options such as Katana or Cursed Fist-style choices are valuable because they are easy to use.
3. Move into safe farming — Directional Arrows is a standout community recommendation because range makes early grinding safer.
4. Upgrade when starter damage slows — Platinum Soul, Time Soul, Vital Art, Ice, or similar mid-game options can replace basic gear once you can unlock them.
5. Chase endgame powers later — Ancient Lightning is a strong first endgame target; Vessel is better treated as a final high-ceiling grind.
Stage-by-Stage Priorities
| Stage | Priority | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Very early | Easy M1 and simple combat | You need reliable kills more than rare unlocks. |
| Early farming | Range or low-risk damage | Safer farming saves time and deaths. |
| Mid game | Better kits and stronger skills | Starter gear starts to feel slow. |
| Late game | Advanced unlocks | Stronger specs become worth the longer chase. |
| Endgame | Ancient Lightning, then Vessel-style goals | Community notes rate these highly, but they require time. |
Leveling Tips
- Stack EXP codes before long grind windows.
- Farm enemies you can clear consistently, not enemies that waste time through deaths or missed attacks.
- Do not ignore M1 — it matters a lot when skills are cooling down.
- Use the tier list as a decision guide, not as a command to chase the hardest item first.
- Replace fillers quickly — Hollow Voice, Hunter Set, Elf Dagger, and Assassin Axe are not ideal long-term progression anchors.
