On PC, move with WASD, arrow keys, or mouse movement if enabled. On mobile, drag with your finger or use the virtual joystick. Most combat power fires automatically, so your main skill is movement, spacing, and dragging enemies through your damage area.
Enemies drop experience crystals. Pick them up to fill the XP bar, level up, and choose one of three offered powers. Offers include one active ability and one passive upgrade when both pools have eligible choices, plus one flexible option. Reroll when the options do not fit your build.
The bottom interface shows health, XP progress, ultimate charge, learned abilities, and current effects. Health keeps you alive, XP creates choices, and ultimate charge gives each hero a powerful moment to survive spikes or burst the boss.
A run is won by finding and killing the boss. Most runs are meant to be finished in about 10 minutes. If the timer expires, overtime disables healing and lifesteal, then ramps Doom damage until you win or die.
The darkness outside safe play space is not a shortcut. Wandering into the void damages and pressures the hero, so use paths and rooms instead of trying to cut across the map edge.
Screen arrows point toward important pickups, event rooms, minigame targets, and the boss. They show direction, not guaranteed pathing, so a maze layout may force you around walls or through connecting rooms.
Levels are generated as navigable arenas with maze-like routes, reserved objective spaces, and special event rooms. Minigames and other objectives may claim event rooms before the run begins.
Runs draw enemy archetypes from the level pool. Some enemies are fast, some resist specific damage types, and some bring special behavior. Difficulty and modifiers can increase enemy health, damage, speed, regeneration, shielding, or other pressure.

Inventory
Boss kills are the main source of equipment progress. Victory can reveal recipes, feed crafting goals, and give you a reason to push harder levels and difficulties.
Specific monsters and archetypes drop specific organs, components, trophies, and collectable materials. Some rewards are tied to difficulty, so hunting the right enemy on the right setting matters.
Reliquary keys, potions, trophies, and other collectables support long-term build planning. They give failed and partial runs value when you collect the materials you came for.
Items can push you toward specific damage types, defenses, cooldowns, projectiles, pickup radius, gold find, or other stats. If your hero and abilities are mostly physical, physical damage and armor reduction become more valuable. If your build is spell-heavy, cooldown reduction, magic damage, and area coverage may matter more.
Open the Inventory page for recipes, item families, collectables, potions, keys, trophies, and upgrade requirements.
Tavern
Paragon levels are long-term hero progression. They improve the hero over many real runs and help push higher levels, harsher modifiers, and stronger bosses.
As your account and heroes progress, new powers, bonuses, and build options become available. The tavern is where you review what a hero can do before the next descent.
The tavern lets you inspect combined stats from hero growth, gear, bonuses, and other systems. Use it to understand why one build feels strong and what your next upgrade should solve.
Check the Heroes page for hero identities, ultimates, unlocks, stat growth, and class bonuses.
Ascension
Ascension is an endgame progression layer for players who have pushed far enough that ordinary upgrades are no longer the whole story. It asks you to invest earned progress into a larger power curve, opening stronger long-term goals and giving late-game farming a clearer purpose.
Think of it as the system that turns repeated victories, collected trophies, and deep account investment into the next climb.
