Plan your next Dome Keeper session
Our guide helps you master Dome Keeper by breaking down its core systems and offering practical observations. By comparing different keeper setups, upgrade paths, and multiplayer tactics, you can refine a strategy that fits your preferred balance of mining and combat.
01 / THE GUIDE
Map Exploration
Run several sessions focusing solely on early map scouting. Note how resource clusters and enemy spawn points vary, then adjust your tunnel routes to maximize loot retrieval before the first wave.
- Scout ahead early to locate high‑value relics before the first wave arrives.
- Leave a clear path back to the dome to avoid getting trapped by enemies.
02 / THE GUIDE
Keeper‑Gadget Pairing
Test each keeper with every primary gadget. Record drilling speed, weapon handling and survivability, then choose the combination that offers the smoothest transition between mining and defense.
- Experiment with different keeper‑gadget combos to find a balance that suits your playstyle.
- Adjust run modifiers to increase challenge and reward potential.
03 / THE GUIDE
Upgrade Prioritisation
Allocate resources to different upgrade trees across multiple runs. Compare outcomes when prioritising drill impact versus dome defenses, identifying which path yields higher survival rates on higher difficulties.
- Prioritise upgrades that improve weapon cooldowns for faster response to waves.
- Repair the dome between waves to avoid cumulative damage.
04 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Coordination
Play four‑player co‑op and assign specific roles—one focuses on digging, another on weapon operation. Observe how role division affects wave response time and overall resource collection.
- Coordinate digging routes in co‑op to avoid overlapping tunnels.
- In PvP, focus on rapid resource delivery while disrupting opponents.
05 / THE GUIDE
PvP Resource Race
Enter PvP matches and adopt an aggressive resource‑delivery strategy. Track how quickly you can gather and deposit relics while hindering opponents, refining tactics for the highest score.
- Balance upgrades between drilling power and defensive capabilities for a well‑rounded run.
- Save rare resources for high‑impact upgrades that significantly change gameplay.
