Tips & Strategies

Energy Management

• Tier 2 abilities cost MORE energy to upgrade
• Keep energy above 2 to use abilities
• Keep energy above 1 to keep passives active
• Kill players for +1 energy
• Use Repair Kits for group energy restoration

Cooldown Optimization

• Fire Fireball (10s) - Spammable damage
• Puff Dash (5s) - Most frequent mobility
• Flux Beam (60s) - Save for critical moments
• Wealth Rich Rush (540s) - Plan mining sessions

• Upgrade to Tier 2 with Universal Gem Upgrader
• Tier 2 benefits:
  • Secondary ability (usually stronger)
  • Auto-enchantments (huge value)
  • Enhanced passive effects (some gems)

PvP Meta

Offensive Combos:

• Flux Ground (stun) → Strength Bloodthorns (AoE)
• Fire Charged Fireball (ranged) → Astra Daggers (finish)
• Flux Beam (armor break) → Melee rush

Defensive Options:

• Puff Dash (escape)
• Astra Projection (invulnerable scouting)

Pro Strategy

Flux Beam at 100% charge (15 HP armor-piercing) has a 60 second cooldown. Use it to break through armored targets, then follow up with other abilities during cooldown!

Death Penalty

Dying costs 1 energy! At energy 1 (RUINED), you lose ALL passive effects. At energy 0 (BROKEN), you can't use abilities at all. Stay alive!
