The XP Tome increases the total amount of experience the player earns, leading to faster level-ups and earlier access to stronger choices. By accelerating progression, it enables builds to come online sooner and snowball more reliably.
Overview
- Stat: XP Gain
- Base upgrade per level: +7%
- Max level: 99
- Category: Economy / Tempo
Effects
- Each level grants an additional +7% XP from all sources.
- Faster level-ups provide more offers over the same timeframe, improving overall build quality.
- Pairs naturally with high-clear, high-density play where XP orbs drop in large numbers.
How to Unlock
- Unlock requirement: Break 20 pots in a single run.
This is a skill-check on routing and map awareness; plan a path that passes through clustered pots without losing survival tempo.
Synergies
- Attraction Tome: Larger pickup range gathers scattered XP orbs efficiently, maximizing returns from XP scaling. This combo will allow you to reach high levels quickly, but using two of your tome slots solely to level faster will result in a notably weaker build compared to others at high levels.
- Cursed Tome: More enemies → more XP orbs → greater benefit from XP multipliers.
- Cooldown Tome / Damage Tome / Precision Tome / Quantity Tome: Higher clear speed spawns more orbs, compounding XP gain.
- Agility Tome: Mobility helps sweep orbs quickly and maintain tempo between packs.
- Golden Tome: Economy-focused paths often align with XP-driven snowball strategies. This may be more worth it in high level runs compared to the Attraction Tome as it will allow you to open more chests in total. This combo is also better on Robinette than any other character due to her gaining damage based off of money held.
Strategy Tips
- Invest early: the sooner XP scaling starts, the more total level-ups you gain over a run.
- Don’t over-invest at the cost of survivability,balance with defensive Tomes if pressure is high.
- Route deliberately to break pots when going for the unlock; avoid unsafe detours that stall your run.
- In boss fights, rely on prior XP advantage (extra upgrades) rather than expecting new XP bursts.
Notes
- Real payoff depends on sustained clear speed and safe pickup pair with control or mobility to avoid missed orbs.
- Works across all builds; value is highest in long runs and high-density tiers.
