01 / THE GUIDE
Minion Force Size Test
Run two early missions, one with a large Minion contingent and another with a small squad. Record how quickly objectives are completed and how enemy forces react to each size.
- Observe how the Minions respond when you issue large‑scale commands versus targeted orders.
- Compare early encounters using many Minions against those with a smaller force to gauge efficiency.

Abyss Enemy Catalog
Create a simple chart of undead enemy types encountered in each kingdom’s abyss. Note any patterns in attack behavior to help prioritize threats in later runs.
- Note which kingdom’s portal opens first to plan a logical progression through the abyss levels.
- Watch how enemy density changes between kingdoms to anticipate difficulty spikes.
03 / THE GUIDE
Portal Activation Timing
Measure the time between a kingdom’s final victory and the appearance of its abyss portal. Use this data to schedule your transition from surface to underworld efficiently.
- Compare the layout of each abyss to spot recurring obstacles that can be tackled with similar tactics.
- Note which fallen heroes you encounter in each kingdom’s abyss to anticipate the threats ahead.

- Experiment with different map layouts to discover advantageous defensive positions.
- Observe the enemy waves in ‘Protect Your Power’ to adapt your defensive strategy.
