Plan your next Peglin session
Our guide breaks down Peglin’s layered systems so you can make informed choices without trial‑and‑error frustration. By comparing orb effects, relic synergies, and map patterns, you’ll develop a personal playstyle that adapts to each random run and improves overall performance over time.
01 / THE GUIDE
Orb Effect Comparison
List the active effects of each orb you own, then simulate a simple shot on paper to see how bounce angles differ. Notice which orbs amplify damage most reliably.
- Experiment with different orb combos to see how they alter bounce patterns.
- Watch peg clusters; hitting more often yields higher damage.
02 / THE GUIDE
Relic Synergy Mapping
Write down each relic’s passive bonus, then pair them mentally to identify overlapping benefits. Prioritize upgrades that reinforce each other for a compounded advantage.
- Take note of map shortcuts that appear early.
- Adjust strategy when new enemy types emerge.
03 / THE GUIDE
Map Pattern Recognition
After a few runs, sketch the typical layout of the woods section. Compare your sketches to spot recurring peg clusters that can be targeted early for extra damage.
- Save crit potions for bosses with high health.
- Use bombs to clear dense peg sections before a big attack.
04 / THE GUIDE
Potion Timing Practice
Create a small test run where you deliberately hold a crit potion until the enemy’s health drops below 30%. Record the damage difference versus using it earlier.
- Prioritize upgrading orbs that match your preferred playstyle.
- Combine relics that complement each other's effects for synergy.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller vs Mouse Feel
Play two identical runs, one with a controller and one with mouse/keyboard. Note any changes in aiming precision or comfort, then decide which input suits your style.
- Enable cloud sync in Steam settings to keep runs safe.
- Try the controller to experience the physics from a different angle.
