Open guideA short path from wishlist to a coherent first build.
- 1
Learn the loop before launch day
Start with the How to Play guide, then skim Inventory Mastery so you treat the grid as a character sheet instead of a junk drawer.
- 2
Pick one build lane early
Choose Crit, Lifesteal, or Tank and protect that cluster. The Build Path Advisor tool can help you commit without second-guessing every drop.
- 3
Zone your auras
Group offense, defense, and utility into districts. A weaker weapon inside the right aura often beats a legendary stranded alone.
- 4
Spend map risk on purpose
Use Route Choice and Risk Reward Dice pages before gambling rooms. High dice stakes should fund your build lane, not random clutter.
- 5
Plan for the Guardian
Boss parts change the finale. Keep an armor-breaker and an armor-ignorer ready so your assembled Guardian fight is not a hard wall.
