Enemy tiers and what they mean for progression
Tips
Enemies are split into tiers that signal their strength and the rewards they give.
- Regular Enemies are the weakest tier and need to be farmed to prepare for bosses.
- Minibosses are scattered among normal enemies and are noticeably tougher; some drop Cubits.
- Bosses are the strongest enemies in a general area and always drop Cubits, making them important for levelling.
- Superbosses are stronger than bosses and serve as the final challenge in a realm; they also drop key items and unlock access to new realms.
- Megabosses are rare, very powerful enemies; some exist in areas where normal enemies are much weaker, and some set your level to a fixed number for a balanced fight.
- Enemies retreat to their spawn point when all nearby players die or move too far away.
Weapon types and how to pick one
Check
Every weapon type has a unique basic attack pattern and most have E, R, or F skills on top.
- Swords swing repeatedly from the left and notably lack an E ability.
- Greatswords sweep slowly horizontally from both sides; pressing E slams the greatsword into the ground up to three times, briefly stunning enemies.
- Katanas rapidly slice downwards; pressing E allows the user to counter, blocking incoming attacks.
- Knives stab forward with all attacks from the back dealing 2x damage; pressing E executes enemies dealing critical true damage.
- Scythes double all forms of Armor Penetration automatically.
- Weapons deal melee damage, magic damage, or true damage; true damage ignores enemy defense stats.
- Swords, Longswords, Throwing Daggers, Falchions, Gauntlets, and Bows notably lack an E ability.
- Pressing E on a Bow gives 50+ Armor Penetration, +15 Projectile Speed, and +100% Attack Speed for 6 seconds.

Common questions
FAQWhat should I do first when I start the game?
Explore the map and collect Cubits. Each Cubit permanently raises your XP gain. There are over 200 hidden across all seven realms.
How do I pick the right weapon?
Try several types and pay attention to the damage type as well as the attack pattern. True damage ignores enemy defense. Some types like Scythes double your Armor Penetration automatically. If a weapon type has no E skill, factor that into your choice since you will be relying on basic attacks more.
Can I complete the game without spending Robux?
All content is reachable without spending anything. Loot from enemies, Cubits, and code rewards provide items to progress.
