Build Strategy

Empty Slots Leveling Machine

Captain gains +60% XP for every free weapon slot. Keep as many slots empty as possible — ideally only 1-2 weapons — and abuse the +100% stat gains from level upgrades to build a massive stat lead. XP cost is +200% but the per-level payoff is double, making frequent leveling extremely powerful.

Enemy health and damage increase each wave, so you need to scale fast. Prioritize one strong weapon and leave the rest of your slots empty.

Expert Tips

1

Level upgrades give double stats — always take stat upgrades over items when possible.

3

Enemy health grows each wave — don't fall behind on damage.

4

One strong weapon is better than many weak ones.
