How to play the run
- Level Dragon Rage first. It is your only attack at the start. Push it to level 5 with upgrade cards.
- Take Power once (+10% damage with every move.) so a golden card turns Dragon Rage into Draco Meteor (×1.8 damage, a 50% wider and longer beam).
- Add Hyper Voice for the hordes. Only your active move fires, so switch to it (1–4, Q/E or tap) when you are surrounded.
- Enter every rift you can. Beating the legendary gives a bond: fuse Dragon Rage with Hyper Voice so both fire together from one slot.
- Hold Quick Claw: -20% cooldown on all your moves. Held items drop from chests and bosses; you keep one at a time.
- Before minute 30, stack damage and defense: the Judgment of Arceus sends ever-stronger legendaries until you fall.
