Start Here

This page does not split the game apart by system. Instead, it follows the real order new players tend to encounter: who to pick first, how far to push, when Priest should enter, when to stop and farm, when Cube and Trade Ship matter, and how pets should be understood. The structure combines the core systems listed in the official store description with the site's own onboarding judgments reviewed through Monday, July 27, 2026.

Start From Step One Jump To Milestones

The goal is not to make you memorize every term at once. It is to make sure that after this page, you know whether your next stop should be Heroes, Runes, Stages, Cube, or Builds.

Onboarding Signals

New players need one reading order more than they need more raw facts

The game's own feature list keeps throwing many systems at the player at once: party setup, pets, runes, Cube, Trade Ship, blue portal, Auto Retry, and more. This section turns that feature spread into one practical early-game order.

Character creation is a smaller question than account development. Keep those decisions separate.

Cube becomes useful sooner as a correction tool than as a late perfection engine.
Beginner Logic

Good onboarding reduces the number of simultaneous questions

Most early confusion comes from mixing too many valid systems together too soon. The account improves faster when you solve one layer at a time: opening hero, stable map, starter runes, Formation, then value routes and secondary systems.

  • The first serious question is which of the three base heroes gives your account the cleanest opening job.
  • The second question is whether you should keep pushing or stop and secure one stable farming rhythm.
  • Only after those are answered do systems like Trade Ship, pets, or deep Cube refinement start paying back the attention they cost.
Beginner guides become more useful when they say what not to rush yet. This page now does that more explicitly.
01

Starter flow should stay short until the first wall appears

Do not branch into six systems before the first progression wobble. Hero choice, base runes, and map stability carry more weight than market or pet fine-tuning.

02

Formation is where team thinking starts

Before Formation, the account mostly solves opening survival and carry pressure. After Formation, the account starts asking which roles the roster is still missing.

03

Service safety is now part of practical onboarding

After the official Sunday, July 26, 2026 instability notice, new players also benefit from knowing where the support path and local backup folder live before something goes wrong.

Quickstart

Use this order for the first 3 hours

This route only solves the highest-value early questions. It does not require you to learn every system at once. Each step simply tells you what to do now, what not to rush yet, and where to go next.

Base Hero - Rune - Formation - Farm - Cube

Formation & Roles

The first shift from 'one hero' to 'one team'

Many new players do not fail because they cannot stack stats, but because they do not know when to start thinking in team terms. This section keeps Formation, Priest, paid heroes, and current pets in one reading flow instead of splitting them into disconnected trivia.

Base Trio / Priest / DLC / Pets

Milestone Roadmap

Read the whole growth route through four milestones

It matters more to know which phase you are in than to memorize which item is 'good.' Each milestone answers just three things: your current goal, what to patch now, and what to avoid most.

0-30 min / First Wall / Nightmare / Torment

Gold Route

Read gold farming separately instead of mixing it into generic 'farm'

What many players actually search for is not 'how does farming work' but 'how do I farm gold fastest right now.' This section isolates the gold route: when to switch into it, what maps fit it, how the team should change, what Runes and Cube choices should come first, and which traps appear most often.

Economy, Trade Ship & Systems

These systems are not the earliest main line, but delaying them costs real time later

Trade Ship, Mailbox, Pets, the blue portal, Auto Retry, Log Window, and Gear D / E / I states are often not hard because they are complex, but because nobody explains them clearly the first time. This section keeps the easiest misread rules in one place.

Common Mistakes

The 6 mistakes first-time players make most often

These mistakes are not flashy, but they slow progress down the most. Avoiding them is often more useful than memorizing one extra endgame build.

Glossary

Understand the most common site terms first

If the terminology is not aligned, every later Guide, Build, and Gear card gets harder to read. This section explains the most common terms from a player-first perspective.
