Move deliberately and keep an escape route
On PC, the default movement keys are WASD and can be changed in Settings. On mobile, touch the board and drag to move; releasing the touch stops movement. Watch the paths of approaching projectiles instead of chasing the score display. Staying near a wall can remove escape options, while a large unnecessary movement can carry you into a second projectile.
Use Spectral Haste before you are trapped
The speed spell lasts ten seconds. Its thirty-second cooldown begins when you activate it, so without pickups, twenty seconds remain after the effect ends. Use the spell icon or the PC shortcut shown on its badge; the default shortcut is Space. The halo around the hero indicates the active effect. Haste increases movement speed, not invulnerability, so crossing a projectile still ends a run.
Occasional yellow lights can be collected to reduce the remaining spell cooldown by one second each. They do not extend the active speed effect or store a reduction when the spell is already ready. Blue lights remain dangerous projectiles.
A best record unlocks gold milestones
Survival and dodged projectiles contribute to the score. Forty milestones unlock permanent gold multipliers, from the first bonus at 500 points to ×200 at 75,000 points. Only the highest unlocked multiplier applies; the listed values are not multiplied together. Improving a weaker run does not remove a previous record. Read the next-bonus panel to choose a realistic short-term target instead of aiming immediately at the final milestone.
Return safely and use one active account session
Return to heroes starts a dedicated loading transition, reloads the main game and processes its normal offline reward summary. New Arena progress is merged after that return flow. Open Arena from the game to associate progress with your account; a direct practice page does not grant main-game rewards. Online Arena checks the shared account session regularly. Opening the same account on another device can pause the previous arena, and scores from a replaced session are refused.
