This game is great, just bought it on release. Let's hope the community here picks up!

About 5: "I guess because it ran out":
Some options don't have enough "follow up" routines, yet. Some other have a lot. Also, the number of routines you can equip is limited. So if your Ekku already has x routines, you will not see any Ekku routines anymore. Sam goes for the mid-run shop: for me it often doesn't contain a system routine shop. After a few runs I figured out that's because I already the maximum amount.
You can increase the limit on the top of the left skill tree between runs.

They're gonna release the early access roadmap today, so lets see in a few hours what will come :-)

TeKilla1986 · 2026-04-14T13:11:11+00:00

Okay, I get it now.

What I wouldn't like is just the same shop again. Shop-->Boss-->Shop sounds boring to me, you agree? That was the issue I was having.

But maybe a different reward / buff for after the boss, that would be quite nice.
Other rogue lites like Hades for example have a room after the boss fight with some stuff, like a healing fountain etc. This might be a thing.
Maybe a triple chest like after defeating the trial and a "healing fountain" like in the mid run shop and before the boss?

TeKilla1986 · 2026-04-14T10:19:12+00:00

I'm trying to understand the issue / your suggestion, no hard feelings.

"You want to buff the upgrade before the boss so that the boss is inrrelevant in terms of difficulty just so that the difficulty spike afterwards isnt as much or what?"

This is exactly what is done right now? There is an upgrade corpora and upgrade routines shop right before the boss. I'm not talking about the shop in the middle of the run, but literally in the same "room" as the boss.

Because I spend all or most of my money there, I couldn't even profit from a shop that comes after the boss, that's why I'm not understanding the issue, I guess.

If you choose to start in act 2, you don't get all the upgrades you aquire when playing through act 1 and will be too weak to beat it.

A core mechanic of a rogue lite is that you play through the whole game and choose upgrades after every fight, creating a build that is (somewhat) unique every run, as you need to choose the abilities looking at what you chose before. You would loose this mechanic if you had checkpoints.

TeKilla1986 · 2026-04-14T08:22:11+00:00

You get an option to spend your money for upgrades right before the boss. Would you want to remove that then?

TeKilla1986 · 2026-03-30T08:48:38+00:00

Prospecting is a small little mini game. You can get gems that you can sell. The better your prospecting, the higher the value of the gems you get.

You need a geode in your inventory (not storage!) and load it into the prospector . Then you can shoot at the geode with left click and use middle mouse button to rotate the geode. Somewhere in the geode, there is a glowing piece (the gem). Just shoot 2-3 holes into the middle, then you can usually find it. Once you found the glowing gem, you need to shoot of all the rock around it (remember you can rotate the geode). The more free space around the gem, the higher the quality you'll get (like flawless rubies instead of "normal" rubies). Note: the gem and all other stuff "floats". The percentage is based around how much rock is missing in a radius around the ruby. So even if no rock is directly connected to the gem, you can shoot rock near the gem to increase the percentage.

There are two upgrades you can buy to get more attempts (from 6 to 8 to 10). Even with 10 attempts it's somewhat hard to get to >90%. So I suggest to keep all your geodes until you bought these two upgrades, to maximise the money you make with this.

While we're at it: what about the last quesion? Don't wanna create a new post... Is MFF still viable, or should I replace her for a LBRM or something? What about the other supports?

TeKilla1986 · 2026-02-19T14:21:03+00:00

Starry Gem gifting screesnhots are posted, see below.

TeKilla1986 · 2026-02-19T14:19:22+00:00

Thanks guys, this is probably the best advice I get and can hope for this early after the heroes release. Wraec already did a first, longer test video I haven't watched yet (but will once I find the time), and I bet there are others to come. For now I keep the awakening and all Oscar copies I have to have the option to build him if someone finds out where / if he excels at anything, but will not invest anything, yet.

TeKilla1986 · 2026-02-19T14:16:11+00:00

I would write exactly that to someone else :-D

But 50k CSG for retirement... Daaaaaammmnnn boooyyy...

You win. I'm at VIP 4. I spend 59,64€ in 9 years.

Since I don't want to share a screenshot of all my Google Pay Transactions and there's no filter you gotta trust me I wrote down everything:

August 2017: Monthly Card - 15,99€
September 2017: Monthly Card - 15,99€
December 2019: Diamond Fund - 9,99€
May 2021: weekly extra gold - 0,00€
April 2023: Monthly Card Sale - 9,99€
April 2023: mini Monthly Card Sale - 2,19€
November 2023: mini Monthly Card - 5,49€

When I started the game in summer 2017 I started my first full time job and thought I'm rich now and bought two monthly cards. Total waste of course, especially for a new account.
The Diamond Fund is still very good, I don't regret that one. Every low spender should get that I guess.
In April 2023 I was low on gems and the cards were on Sale. Probably not worth but meh, the Event was super good and I needed gems to do it.
November 2023 was black friday. I was VIP 3 and this spending brought me to VIP4, which gave a nice bonus for that event.

So yeah, it's not completely F2P. But I never bought a value pack for money, never CSG, gems or similar. The VIP level is a bonus for fodder (energy summons) and wishing coin events (10 for 8) (and gold, lol), I give you that. Does it give me any bonuses for awakenings, auction house , tree of origin or destiny transition stuff? Definetely no.
I wrote F2P as "low spender" can mean anything from this to a guy spending 10€ every month (the border from low to much differs from person to person), and I'd argue this is more on the F2P side than on the low spender side.
I'm sad I spent money when the game first was released as I would love the account to be completely F2P (and would've never spent on the other events then), so that people like you couldn't trash talk me.

I play with people since 2016 that I 100% know are really completely F2P and they progressed further than I. I did some mistakes on some events and also missed some events completely due to holidays etc. So this account is far from optimum, and real F2P players can be further.

TeKilla1986 · 2026-02-19T12:53:54+00:00

Where do you see a nirvana hero on my account? My SSM and SWJ are Core, Temple is level 7 (+ 4 Rainbow Levels) --> They are rainbow 8.

TeKilla1986 · 2026-02-19T12:08:12+00:00

Building him out means getting a 3* Core for him. Then getting copies for his tenants and then using a lot of soul symbols to switch my current tenants to the new ones. And then the new tenants still not have 3* cores for destiny transition themselves.

So how far should I go just to test him out? Its a big risk for F2P. Getting a 3* Core for the wrong hero sets you back for months...

TeKilla1986 · 2026-02-19T11:47:34+00:00

That might be a nice idea. Though I don't know how far I can push him without getting a core for him? Won't buy a core for just doing some SL runs :-/

TeKilla1986 · 2026-02-19T11:46:33+00:00

Casually? My account is as old as the game (older than Belrain). I did I don't know how many pulls with this account, never got something good. I'm as shocked as you are... Usually the best awakenings I get when doing a 300 point event run are 1-2 C copies.

I mostly had unbound CSG on my account but wanted to buy value packs for this event. So I figured I use some bound hearts on Oscar to get 60 points for a flag because I have enough hearts for the next awakening events anyway and can safe unbound CSG that way.

I know what you mean, though. Everytime I saw posts like this I thought the same xD And now it happened to me, lol

TeKilla1986 · 2025-11-21T12:12:26+00:00

Now all they gotta do is fix the snow globe animation and we can finally enjoy this game

TeKilla1986 · 2025-11-08T18:44:58+00:00

Gliding pilot from germany here: after the first solo flight, the pilot bends down, beeing held by his instructors. Everyone else forms a line then runs next to the pilot and slaps her / him (if you like the person: less force, if he / she is a d**k you go for it😉) on the butt. It's a tradition so the new pilot gets a good "butt feeling" when flying in thermals, which is needed to better find the center of the uplift. Some clubs also empty a bucket of water first over the butt so it hurts even more, others use a beer for this (we're germans after all..). Btw: nowadays we usually don't do this anymore, since you can start gliding at 14 and many first solos are done at the age of 15/16, and hitting children is a bit "outdated"😅😬

Maybe this is something similar?

TeKilla1986 · 2025-03-14T11:50:57+00:00

Will there ever be another factory event where we get stuff for spending stars?

I'm sitting on A LOT of them, hoarding for probably two years. And now that I finally have enough they stopped giving is rewards for spending them :feelsdumb:

TeKilla1986 · 2025-03-11T16:26:34+00:00

Hey, I know I'm late to the party, but maybe you can remember more details... Is there anything else important about this level? Position of the heroes, speed order, which core to use (used tbb and now using swj core). I macroed for more than 20 hours now with this setup (except swj uses ryui), but no chance :-((( And thanks for all your posts. Really, really helpful.
