How to play the run

  1. Level Tackle first. It is your only attack at the start. Push it to level 5 with upgrade cards.
  2. Take Vigor once (+20 max hp (and heals it).) so a golden card turns Tackle into Take Down (×1.9 damage, more range and hits in 360°).
  3. 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.
  4. Enter every rift you can. Beating the legendary gives a bond: fuse Tackle with Hyper Voice so both fire together from one slot.
  5. Hold Assault Vest: +20% damage reduction. Held items drop from chests and bosses; you keep one at a time.
  6. Before minute 30, stack damage and defense: the Judgment of Arceus sends ever-stronger legendaries until you fall.
