The safest community-backed rule is to unlock useful systems before sinking resources into small flat-stat gains. Extra formation capacity, offline value, and automation are repeatedly prioritized, but exact node names, costs, and best order must be verified in the current client.
Quick decision route
- If one hero cannot stabilize runs, inspect the route toward additional formation capacity.
- If runs are stable but manual chores block idle progress, inspect automation and offline-value branches.
- If the party survives but clears too slowly, compare broad combat or growth nodes after system unlocks.
- Do not copy an exact cost or percentage without checking the current tree.
What is official
Steam officially describes an idle RPG where heroes fight automatically while the player manages classes, skills, items, and builds. The store page does not publish an official rune priority order.
What is community guidance
Multiple specialist guides emphasize formation slots and quality-of-life unlocks before minor stats. That agreement is useful direction, but it is not a controlled comparison and may lag a balance patch.
Unknown and patch-sensitive
The exact best branch for your heroes, current node values, reset costs, and late-game breakpoints are not established here. Use the current in-game tree and your failed-run bottleneck for the final choice.
