Source facts
What is the primary objective during a shift in Critical Ward?
Your main goal is to treat incoming patients while managing the hospital's chaos. You must build enormous combos and deploy automated medical equipment to survive as the hospital fills with contagious patients and disruptive relatives throughout your shift.
How should I approach character selection for my first session?
You should experiment with different characters, as they feature radically different abilities and playstyles. Consider choosing a specialist in healing, speed, or crowd control to see which strategy best transforms the rules of your run.
What is a significant risk I should be aware of during gameplay?
While you can stack powerful bonuses and create absurd builds to increase your power, you must remain cautious. A single mistake during your run can erase everything you have built, ending your current streak immediately.
