Bottom line (early order)
Command ×2 → Awakening → Rest → Winding → Explore. Follow this and you won’t go wrong early.
| Rune | Effect | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Command Rune ×2 | +1 hero slot | TOP |
| Awakening Rune | +1 skill slot for all heroes | TOP |
| Rest Rune | Unlocks offline rewards | HIGH |
| Winding Rune | Auto-opens treasure chests | HIGH |
| Explore Rune | Drop rate & move speed up | MID |
Why this order
- Command (+1 hero slot) ×2: party size is the foundation of both damage and survival — add two slots first.
- Awakening (+1 skill slot for all): a big power jump across the whole party.
- Rest (offline rewards): the heart of an idle game — progress while you sleep.
- Winding (auto-open chests): removes farming busywork, directly boosting idle efficiency.
- Explore (drop rate & move speed): raises farm speed and collection rate.
How to read the whole tree
When in doubt, take slots and automation first, and leave raw damage/efficiency multipliers for later. Pour into damage only after slots and automation are set, so your growth base never collapses.
