Your character automatically deals damage per second (DPS) to enemy monsters based on your current stats. Defeating enemies rewards Gold and advances your Stage.
Spend Gold in the Forge to level up your Blade. Each weapon tier adds flat DPS, which scales directly with your level multipliers.
Once you clear Stage 10 or higher, you can trigger an Ember Rebirth. This resets your stage, gold, and weapon tier, but awards Astral Embers.
Embers are used in the Astral Skill Tree for permanent multipliers that never reset.
