What happens if I fail to defeat all enemies in a round?

While you earn gold for every enemy you take down, any enemies left undefeated at the end of a round will power up the next boss. This makes efficient clearing vital for managing boss difficulty.

How long should I expect a typical run to last?

The game is designed for fast-paced gameplay, with standard runs typically lasting between 30 and 45 minutes. This makes it an ideal choice for players looking for shorter, focused sessions of tactical chain building.
