Unlock Fast Strategies
- Power-Ups: Prioritize earning Gold to buy permanent Power-Ups (like Magnet, Luck, Growth) - drastically speeds up character leveling and weapon acquisition.
- Relics: Focus on collecting stage Relics. They unlock critical features and characters needed for later weapons/Arcanas.
- Hyper Mode: Unlock and use Hyper mode on stages. Increases enemy density and XP gain significantly.
- Gold Farming: Play optimized Gold Farming runs (e.g., with Trouser/Gains Boros) to quickly buy Power-Ups, Arcanas, and characters.
- Character Unlocks: Look up specific character unlock conditions (often involve finding Relics, surviving X minutes on a map, or reaching level thresholds).
- Evolutions: Learn required passive items for weapon evolutions. Finding these early ensures you evolve upon reaching max weapon level.
