How to approach a Wallace campaign
- 1
Read the weapon panel in the live build
The official notes confirm names and costs, not a permanent tier order. Compare the current moves and upgrade state before spending a scarce currency. - 2
Identify your Block-pressure option
Version 0.11 added an icon to Combos and attacks that deal increased Block damage. Use that UI instead of memorizing an unsupported universal sequence. - 3
Treat Committed Charge as a documented defensive window
Its official corrected description is 35% damage resistance. Do not expand that into invulnerability or a duration that the patch note does not state. - 4
Build around the run you receive
Emblem families and artifacts shape each campaign. Follow a coherent trigger, payoff and survival plan rather than forcing one named end-state in every run.
