XP Tome
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: +9%
- Max level: 99
- Category: Economy / Tempo
Effects
- Each level grants an additional +9% 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.
- Cursed Tome: More enemies → more XP orbs → greater benefit from XP multipliers.
- Cooldown Tome / Damage 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 / Silver Tome: Economy-focused paths often align with XP-driven snowball strategies.
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.
