Wiki

Goal and controls

Survive the night: You move, your weapons fire on their own. At the end of the night the Crow King arrives. Defeat him and the chapter is cleared.

Move with WASD or the arrow keys – on a phone, drag with your finger. Your weapons fire on their own.

Chapters and stars

There are 50 chapters. You get 1 star for surviving 60 seconds, 2 stars for 180 seconds and 3 stars for winning.

The first star gives 10 gems once, the second 15. Every chapter shows what a win gives before you start.

Energy

A chapter costs 5 energy, an attack on the world boss or guild boss 3. Energy is deducted at the start – whether you win, lose or give up. 1 energy comes back every 5 minutes, even when you're not playing. Friends can gift you energy daily.

Your maximum grows with your level from 20 to 60. If you run out, you can buy 15 energy up to 3× a day, for 80 / 180 / 280 gems.

Unlocks

New features come with your account level. The highest level is 50.

Talents

Talents last permanently and cost gold. The first level costs 40 gold, each further level 30 gold more.

Light Boots	+8 % movement speed
Oak Heart	+20 max health and 20 healing

Skill priorities

With a purchased pass you set 3 skills and 3 passives in the Gear tab. During selection a bubble shows your rank, you still choose yourself. You can see the combinations there without a pass too.

Hero	Ability	From level	Price

Upgrade

Upgrades cost gold and the scroll of that slot. Each level adds 12 % of the base value.

You get scrolls for chapter wins, bosses and level-ups.

Merge

3 identical items of the same rarity make the next rarity. The result keeps the highest level. Legendary items can't be merged further.

Salvage

Salvaging returns 90 % of the upgrade gold, plus all scrolls in the item. Equipped items must be taken off first.

Sets

Equipped items of the same set give bonuses at 2, 4 and 6 items. From level 10 you can change an item's set for gems.

Cost by rarity: 20 / 40 / 80 / 150 / 300 gems.

Equip best and filters

Equip best strengthens every slot but keeps your weapon type and active set bonuses. You see the changes first.

The inventory filters only show what matches. Merge and Equip best always apply to all items. The inventory holds 120 items.

Pets and eggs

Pets accompany you and give a bonus. With treats and gold they grow stronger, up to level 20. One can be active.

Eggs

You open eggs in stock for free in the shop, up to 10 at once.

A pet you already own gives treats instead of a second one: 10 × (rarity + 1).

Prisma only comes from events, never from an egg.

Chests

The server opens shop chests and eggs, so you need internet. Without a connection nothing is charged and nothing opened.

Chest	Price	Odds
Free Chest	1× per day, plus 100 gold	80 % Common · 18 % Good · 2 % Rare
Wooden Chest	1,000 gold	70 % Common · 27 % Good · 3 % Rare · 10×: at least 1× Rare
Gem Chest	150 gems	55 % Good · 33 % Rare · 10 % Epic · 2 % Legendary · 10×: at least 1× Epic
Pet Egg	200 gems	40 % Funki · 25 % Mauz · 20 % Hoot · 11 % Spike · 4 % Silva
Treat Bag	300 gold	10 treats

5× gives 10 % off, 10× gives 15 % off. If your inventory is full, new items turn into gold.

From Good on, every item has a chance of a set.

A ticket costs 50 gems directly. The tasks reset daily:

Live events run for a limited time and are shown in the Events tab with rules and rewards.

The Lantern Pass gives points for every run, event wins and claimed daily missions. Each level has a reward, Premium also has golden rewards.

The energy pass costs 600 gems for 30 days and gives 40 more maximum energy.

Language and sound

In Settings in the menu you choose German or English and set music and effects. This applies on this device.

Color-blind mode

Blue and orange instead of green and red, stars on rarities and clear outlines in battle. You'll find it in Settings.

Zoom on phones

On phones and tablets you set 100 % / 85 % / 70 % in the pause window. Smaller shows more of the field, displays stay the same size. Not available on PC.

Friends and invites

You can have 30 friends and gift 1 energy each to up to 10 friends daily, at no cost to you.

If you invite someone and they clear chapter 3, you both get 3 lucky wheel tickets. That works up to 10× for you.

Chat and rules

Writing in chat, friends and guilds need an account and a player name.

No insults, no racism, no spam. Such messages are removed automatically. The 1st and 2nd offense are a warning, from the 3rd offense within 30 days you can't write for 24 hours.

Play fair: Accounts with a manipulated save can be suspended. They then no longer appear in leaderboards, chat and guilds, and the game shows the reason on opening.

Player name

Your first own name is free. Every later change costs 1,000 gems. Names have 3 to 16 characters.

Is the game really free?

Yes. There are no purchases with real money.

Can I play without installing anything?

The game runs right in the browser, on phone and PC.

Why doesn't my skill evolve?

The active skill must be at level 5, plus the matching passive skill. Then you need the next chest from a boss or elite.

What if I run out of energy?

1 energy comes back every 5 minutes, even when you're not playing. You can also buy some, and friends can gift you some.

Do I lose my progress as a guest?

No. If you create an account, your progress is carried over.

Why do I see monsters so late?

On a phone you can zoom out further in the pause window.

Where do I report a bug?

On Discord, the link is in the menu.
