Skills

Skill System Guide

Skills are the abilities you pick up during a run, and which skills you choose decides the direction of your build. Synergy between skills matters more than raw power, so the goal is to assemble combinations that lock together rather than chasing one strong skill. Check the skill tier list for the current meta priority picks.

The skill catalog lets you browse every skill with its effect, rarity, and description. Reviewing which skills work with your character and gear before a run lets you make picks faster mid-stage.

Skills are divided into Common, Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarities. Higher rarities tend to be stronger, but a mid-rarity skill that lines up perfectly with your build often outperforms a higher-rarity skill that does not fit. Judge by synergy first, raw rarity second.

In each stage you pick one of three skills every time you level up. On stages 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45 — the Valkyrie (treasure chest) stages — far more powerful skills appear, and what you grab in those windows often decides the run. Browsing the catalog ahead of time speeds up those picks.

Frequently Asked Questions

QAre skills different every run?

Yes. The skill pool offered each run is randomized, but your character, gear, and rune setup can raise or lower the chance of certain skills appearing. Knowing your target build direction in advance makes the picks during the run much smoother.

QHow is the skill tier list ranked?

It weighs each skill's standalone power, its synergy with other skills, and how often it shows up in current meta builds. Rankings can shift after patches, so check the latest update notes too.

QHow do skills connect to runes?

Equipping runes that align with a specific skill type (orb, fairy, etc.) amplifies those skill effects. Pick a build direction first, then pair the skills and runes that reinforce it — this is how you maximize combat efficiency.

QCan I redo a skill choice?

No. A skill you pick during a run stays for the rest of that run and cannot be changed. That is why setting a build direction in advance and browsing the catalog beforehand — knowing which options to prioritize — pays off.

QShould I prioritize skills or runes first?

Runes apply permanently across every run, so they get a higher resource priority. Skills are picked fresh every run and only matter for that run, but within a single run they are your core damage source. Build a permanent base with runes, then make skill picks during the run that match your build direction.
