First-run plan

Pick one damage family, fill each available slot with modules that support it, and spend upgrades on the same engine. Use artifacts and a captain to cover its weakness, then clear all four biome bosses to unlock the next map.

Choose a damage family first

Module tags separate Arrow, Cannon, Fire, Magic, Melee and Units builds. Open the module list, filter for the tag you already have, and prefer additions that share its damage bonuses or cooldown support.

Fill slots before chasing perfect upgrades

Wanderburg modules occupy Front, Side, Back, Top or Crew slots. An empty slot contributes nothing, while a complete loadout keeps dealing damage as you reposition. Base damage and cooldown values in the module list help compare early choices.

Use artifacts to solve a specific problem

The artifact list includes direct damage bonuses, cooldown tools, Nitro support, healing and economy effects. Choose the effect that fixes the current run instead of collecting unrelated bonuses.

Match the captain to the vehicle

Wanderturm is the balanced progression, Tankenburg trades mobility for much higher HP, and Spiderburg reaches the highest final speed while using its leg-based movement. Compare their full rank tables with the captain and vehicle reference.

Unlock biomes in sequence

Each new biome opens after its preceding boss objective. The biome unlock page shows the nine-map order, difficulty and Silver multiplier so you can choose between progression and resource farming.
