Plan your next Thronefall session
Our independent guide breaks down Thronefall’s core loops, helping you refine both your kingdom’s economy and night‑time combat. By examining each system separately, you can experiment with builds, weapon choices, and difficulty mutators without feeling overwhelmed.
01 / THE GUIDE
Economic Foundations
Start a new game and focus solely on constructing gold‑producing buildings for the first three days. Note how much gold you accumulate and how that influences later defensive options.
- Prioritize buildings that produce gold early, as they fund later defenses.
- Upgrade walls before adding expensive towers to maximize survivability.
02 / THE GUIDE
Wall vs. Tower Balance
Compare two runs: one with heavily upgraded walls and minimal towers, another with the opposite. Observe which setup better survives the same night wave.
- Keep the Castle Center protected with surrounding towers.
- Use your personal combat skill to buy time for weaker units.
03 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Effectiveness
Test each unlockable weapon in a single night, recording damage dealt and survivability. Identify which weapon aligns with your playstyle.
- Mix ranged and melee units to cover different enemy types.
- Deploy heroes where they can protect high‑value structures.
04 / THE GUIDE
Perk Synergy
Select different perk combinations and track how they affect gold income, unit strength, or building durability during identical enemy assaults.
- Choose a weapon that matches your preferred combat style.
- Combine perks that boost both economy and defense for balanced play.
05 / THE GUIDE
Mutator Challenge
Activate a mutator that increases enemy strength and attempt the same map with your preferred build. Evaluate how your strategy adapts under heightened pressure.
- Enable cloud saves to keep progress across multiple devices.
- Try controller input for a more hands‑on combat feel.
