Offline time produces gold and continued growth, but returning resources should first fix the same formation bottleneck rather than be spread across unrelated upgrades.

This guide separates confirmed systems from launch-day discoveries. It does not turn an unverified demo observation into a permanent ranking, exact location, boss weakness, ending route, or drop rate.
Confirmed Mechanics
| Evidence | What is confirmed |
|---|---|
| 1 | Blizzard and Fireball are named official examples. |
| 2 | The game explicitly supports offline gold and army growth. |
| 3 | Units fill different battlefield roles and rarities. |
| 4 | Totems provide passive army-wide bonuses. |
Steps
- Before leaving, push to a repeatable wall so the next upgrade target is clear.
- On return, note the gold and progress gained before spending it.
- Buy the upgrade that addresses the wall's survival or damage problem.
- Retest and reserve Blizzard or Fireball for the decisive part of the encounter.
Requirements
- Use the build identified above; launch balance may differ from the demo.
- Reach or unlock the named system before troubleshooting it.
- Keep the official store page or developer notes available when checking changed controls or requirements.
Common Problems
- Offline progress does not make an exposed damage unit durable; fix placement too.
- Casting both spells early can leave no answer for the boss's dangerous interval.
FAQ
Is this system officially confirmed?
Yes. The system and boundaries on this page come from the official Steam description or developer update linked below. Any unconfirmed detail is stated as such.
Can demo advice be treated as final launch balance?
No. A demo establishes that a mechanic exists, but values, item pools, encounter order, saves, and balance may change. Recheck the launch build before publishing exact statistics.
What should I avoid claiming before release?
Do not publish permanent tier lists, exact boss weaknesses, every item location, endings, drop rates, or save-transfer promises unless the developer or release build verifies them.

Orc Incremental Cards and Totems Guide
Use unit cards to repair missing battlefield roles and Totem cards when the current army already functions but needs a passive multiplier. Every card changes the composition; a rare pick is not automatically correct if it duplicates a role while the frontline or damage coverage remains missing.
Verified guideOrc Incremental Dark Rebirth Guide
Use Dark Rebirth after formation changes, card swaps, and spell timing no longer move the current wall. It resets the run but preserves permanent bonuses such as damage, health, or gold gains, and later rebirths unlock units, challenges, and a Chieftain choice for the next cycle.
