After several missions, compare each hero’s obituary details—name, level and kill count—to identify which characters consistently deliver high performance, informing future roster decisions.

  • Review the obituary log to see which heroes have contributed most before deciding on permadeath.
  • Invite a friend early if you anticipate switching to co‑op later.

co‑op synchronization

Play a story mission with a partner both locally and online, noting any differences in communication flow and hero coordination to optimize teamwork in each setting.

  • Coordinate hero selection to cover complementary abilities during co‑op missions.

permadeath risk management

Track the number of surviving heroes after each chapter; use this data to gauge proximity to potential save destruction and adjust mission risk accordingly.

  • Prioritize low‑risk heroes for early missions to preserve your roster.
  • Monitor remaining party size to avoid accidental save destruction.

04 / THE GUIDE

arena team composition

Test various two‑hero pairings in the 2v2 arena, recording win rates to discover which combinations best exploit the turn‑based mechanics.

  • Experiment with different hero pairings to discover effective synergies in arena matches.
  • Utilize split‑screen positioning to maintain clear visibility of both allies and foes.

05 / THE GUIDE

platform feature utilization

Experiment with Remote Play Together and Steam Cloud on separate Windows machines, noting any impact on performance or save consistency.

  • Consider Steam Cloud when playing across multiple Windows PCs.
  • Try Remote Play Together for a quick co‑op session without needing a second console.
