![]() Better to restart an expedition early than lose a big chunk of your haul in an untimely death. There’s a significant amount of grinding in Loop Hero, which means you’ll probably do some expeditions to farm for certain resources to get key upgrades and unlock important cards without ever intending to take on the chapter boss. You’ll get to save everything you’ve collected that expedition. If you don’t think you’ll survive another loop, retreat to your village when you pass by. In addition, the key to success in Loop Hero is balancing the need to farm enemies for better resources and gear with being able to actually survive until the late game. So don’t feel like you have to play everything that gets rotated into your hand, especially if you are on an expedition to purely grind for resources. Like extra gear, cards you don’t use will break down into extra resources that can be used to expand and upgrade your settlement. Screenshot: Devolver Digital / Kotaku It’s ok not to play every card. The bonus effects of rivers are doubled when they touch another land in two places, so be sure to arrange them in a zigzagging pattern rather than straight lines. Meadows net you an extra resource when placed next to a mountain or set of rocks, making it more advantageous to mix them in rather than place them somewhere separate on the map. Mountain cards give you more HP, and a total of 120 HP extra when arranged in a 3X3 grid. Plus, all armour you don’t use eventually breaks down into resources, so consider waiting instead of constantly swapping up to new gear with only marginally better stats. I quickly traded it for the single digit buffs in my existing orange rarity ring. In one expedition I got a higher level common ring with a 4.5 regeneration stat. The reverse can also be true, depending on the situation. In this case, something like 10% vampirism is better than an additional 100 HP. You might get a piece of armour that’s two levels above your current one, but is the lowest rarity and so doesn’t come with any bonuses. Simply making the numbers go up isn’t enough, though. The higher the rarity, the more bonus stats it comes with.

Regen is nice because it works even when you’re not in battle, while Magic HP is how much damage the Necromancer can absorb each battle before getting hurt. Survival is the name of the game, which means balancing how quickly you can kill enemies with how quickly you heal. I’ve found that focusing on these particular stats for each class has led more toward greater success and longer lives: The Necromancer summons skeletons to fight by their side. The Rogue is more vulnerable but carries two weapons. ![]() Here’s some useful advice I’ve put together based on my own experience navigating this complex gauntlet. Of course, the devil is in the details of everything you can do on top of this simple conceit, including upgrading gear, building up settlements, and choosing how to play the cards you collect over the course of each expedition. Over time they get stronger, and if they get strong enough they’ll survive to summon the boss, beat them, and progress to the next chapter. Your warrior walks around a circle fighting hordes of slimes and vampires automatically. ![]() At its most basic level, Loop Hero plays itself.
