Progression & upgrades

A practical first session

1. Complete the introductory tutorial, roll units and fill available plot positions. Walk onto a placed unit's cash pad to collect earnings.
2. Claim codes with Auto Roll paused if you want to choose when spins are consumed. Keep Gems and rerolls for a unit that is likely to stay.
3. For an income-focused start, prioritize Money and Luck. CHALLS recommends these ahead of Damage/Health; Roll Speed helps repeated rolling, and storage is valuable when your backpack is the actual bottleneck.
4. Buy an affordable dice tier and compare the cash you still need for the next one. Avoid spreading the same savings across every tree node without a goal.
5. When the backpack is full, inspect/equip your keepers first, then sell unwanted inventory. Check that rolling resumes and that the intended units are still placed.
6. Read the next Rebirth threshold. Spend useful surplus without dropping below it, reset when ready, and collect from the remaining plot units to rebuild cash.
7. Try a Tower when combat becomes your goal. Turn its useful drops into keeper upgrades rather than treating Damage as passive cash income.

Permanent upgrade reference

Reported captured costs/effects below are dated references, not a complete Update 4 unlock graph. Luck III unlocks Roll Speed I; the other prerequisite edges were not established by the source. Walkspeed III is not filled in from Walkspeed IV.

Evidence labels below describe the source’s own records. This guide has not independently playtested those observations.

Unit levels and variants

AwesWikis reports a level model of I(L) = I(1) × [1 + 0.25 × (L − 1)], with successive upgrade costs increasing by 1.6×. These are community-derived models; display rounding is unresolved. Holding all other modifiers steady, a unit earning $100/s at level 1 would project $200/s at level 5. A level-5 unit earns only another 12.5% from the next +0.25 base step, not 25% of its already doubled income.

Use the unit's actual current level/income and the next upgrade's displayed price to project a target level. Cost is the geometric sum from the current next-price, so the tool works without inventing a universal first-upgrade cost. If your panel disagrees, use the measured result; the model is not developer code. Grade/Trait/Size changes during the comparison invalidate the same-modifier assumption.

Evidence labels below describe the source’s own records. This guide has not independently playtested those observations.

The table's factors describe reported Index denominators, not income multipliers or your personal chance after Luck. Ruby's 100K factor is inferred from the source's sequence, with no direct example in that capture. The source additionally gives an empirical level-one estimate round(1.03 × N^0.72 − 0.63), where N is the final variant denominator. Use direct displayed income in the tools when you have it; that fitted estimate and multiplicative Grade/Trait stacking are not established official formulas.

Directly recorded income tiers

The following community-captured values provide a stronger lookup than the fitted formula when your final Index denominator matches a row. Keep the original level/modifier conditions in mind and prefer your own displayed income when they differ.

If progress stops

Full backpack: inspect keepers, sell unwanted copies or buy useful storage, then confirm rolls resume. Low cash: collect occupied pads and compare actual team income; make one focused upgrade. Slow Tower clears: Damage/Health and your equipped team matter. A worse Equip Best result: compare copies manually. Offline income is confirmed by the game description; no cap or full-rate duration is assumed here.
