How to play the run
- Level Confusion first. It is your only attack at the start. Push it to level 5 with upgrade cards.
- Take Reflexes once (-8% cooldown on every move.) so a golden card turns Confusion into Psyshock (×1.8 damage, +2 projectiles, +2 pierce and bigger).
- Add Heat Wave 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 Confusion with Heat Wave 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.
