Early Game (1-7 waves)

In the early game, you need a solid harvesting base (around 70–80 by wave 7–8). You really need that extra income to offset the rising cost of items in the shop. Pair that with high XP gain to level up your weapons and enough Max HP to stay alive. In the early game, you don't need a lot of % Damage, so just pick up a small amount to keep your clear speed steady.

Mid Game (8-14 waves)

"Focus on tankiness in the mid-game: stack Max HP, Regen, and Armor. That said, XP Gain remains your top priority to keep scaling. Don't forget Attack Speed—hitting 50–60% is key.During the mid-game, keep adding % Damage gradually, aiming to hit around 50% by the time you reach the later waves."

Late Game (15-20 waves)

In the late game, your priority is to max out your stats. Use XP Gain to reach peak weapon power and focus on Max HP, HP Regen, and Armor to fully lean into your melee tank role. Attack Speed should be at least 80–90% as a minimum. Aim for six Tier 4 Quarterstaffs, though Tier 3 ones will work too. If you're clearing waves easily, start investing in Crit to increase your damage against the boss.
