Expeditions

Place units on a payload and walk it through enemy territory, choosing your route node by node and banking what the run earns back at the hub.

The maps unlock in order, and each one drops the material named on its card.

The maps

Unchanged since ; checked

4 maps, cleared in a fixed order. Each drops its own material, and every reward table below that names "the map's resource" means the one on the card here.

Route nodes

Checked

A route is a chain of nodes. The game rolls each next node by weight and publishes the weights on no fixed scale, so each bar below is sized against the heaviest. Rolled nodes first, heaviest first; the placed nodes close the list.

  • Assault

    Enemies constantly spawn around!

    Draw weight100

    of Assault's 100, the heaviest

    Rolled amounts show both ends of the roll. Amounts marked fixed ignore the run’s reward multiplier; "the map’s resource" is whichever material the current map drops.

    Every clear

    Rolled from the pool

  • Defense

    Defend off enemies at a traditional lane!

    Draw weight65

    of Assault's 100, the heaviest

    Rolled amounts show both ends of the roll. Amounts marked fixed ignore the run’s reward multiplier; "the map’s resource" is whichever material the current map drops.

    Every clear

    Rolled from the pool

  • Encounter

    A mysterious figure appears, offering to Speak, Barter, or Engage!

    Draw weight19.5

    of Assault's 100, the heaviest

    Never lands twice in a row.

  • Elite

    Defend off stronger enemies at a traditional lane!

    Draw weight15

    of Assault's 100, the heaviest

    Rolled amounts show both ends of the roll. Amounts marked fixed ignore the run’s reward multiplier; "the map’s resource" is whichever material the current map drops.

    Safe area to strategize your next move!

  • Boss

    A dangerous area where a special boss appears!

    Placed on every route, never rolled.

    Rolled amounts show both ends of the roll. Amounts marked fixed ignore the run’s reward multiplier; "the map’s resource" is whichever material the current map drops.

Difficulties

Checked

The game frames difficulty as a number and publishes no names for the rungs. Resistance is rolled inside the stated range; the reward multiplier scales every non-fixed drop.

DifficultyResistance rangeReward multiplierAttack damageEnemy modifiers

220–451.5x71
330–601.75x102

Encounters

Checked

6 characters share one appearance roll on Encounter nodes, and their weights sum to exactly 100, so a weight is that character's appearances per 100 draws. Outcome weights inside a card sum to 100 the same way. Each card lists its approaches in the order the game offers them.

  • The Hero

    “A hero always has time to spare for a chat.”

    Discuss

    Every meeting is worth something.
    • Here's something I've learned: magic can only carry you so far. I'll trim it back 10%, but your strength in a straight fight will grow the same.50
    • Let's lean into it further. Magic falls by 25%, but physical strength rises by 25% in return.35
    • All the way, then. Magic falls by 35%, but your physical might will rise to match.15

    Barter

    I'm always happy to make a fair trade. Hand over 500 Yen, and The Hero will stand ready to fight at full strength.

    No luck this time, huh? That's alright. A hero knows not every story goes his way.

    Nothing else happens on a failure; the line above is the whole outcome.

    Would you help me with something?

    I picked up a few things during my travels. 500 Yen, and I'll let you have one -- though I won't say which.
    Price500Yen

    Engage

    Let's leave it to chance, then. Roll a 13 or better. If Elf Mage (Unleashed) and The Hero are already with you, I'll tip it in your favor by 5.

    • The flames will spread further than you expect. DOT-aligned cards will surface more often now, by 10%, while others fade from view.50
    • A price for greater power. Your Mythic set will now inflict a second random DOT -- but your coin will come 10% slower.50

    Barter

    Trade 500 Yen to apply a permanent Black Fire DOT on the map boss.

    Let fate decide, then. Roll a 12 or higher -- and if 3 burns already mark the field, fate will lean your way by 3.

    Appearance weight19 of 100

    Discuss

    Fufufu, I'm always looking for someone... useful.

    Only offered on the 3rd meeting in a run.

    • One of your little puppets will have to go. Don't worry -- I'll make it worth your while.85
    • Or cut every string at once, and I'll take the stage myself. The more you sacrifice, the stronger I become.15

    Barter

    Business first, questions later. 500 Yen, and Toy Maker will turn one in every 6 of your enemies into a harmless little toy.

    Speak

    Talk fast, don't bore me.
    • Small fry get tougher -- 15% more health, so they don't die too easy. But the real prey? Minibosses will bleed 20% faster under your blade.65
    • Same deal, bigger prey. Bosses take 20% more from you, and I'll toughen the small fry by 15% to keep you warmed up.25
    • One fighter, no backup -- that's a real battle. I'll pick one at random and cut it loose. No limits.10

The hub between runs. Every building is built and upgraded with the coins and materials the runs pay out, and the tiers behind each one state exactly what a step costs and changes.

Stat Anvils

Checked

Bought at a Checkpoint and lasting that expedition only: an anvil rolls a rarity, then one of 15 stats. The item in your inventory is called Anvil.
