Powerups Info:
   - Note: Upgrading powerups makes them last longer. Reach Lvl 24 to unlock all 4 Power-ups.

Midas Touch
   - Turns enemies into Gold. Nice for farming Coins, just watch out for hidden pots behind those sack of Golds though. Works great with Golden type weapons for more Coins.
Magic Shield
   - Gain Invincibility. This power-up can save you from hits, crash and falls. A very handy power-up and works great with weapons that gives Hit Protection.
Poison Strike
   - Defeat enemies with 1 HIT. Excellent power-up to have once you reach Difficulty 5, where more armored goons will start to show up.
Golden Wings
   - Gain Flight and Coin Magnet. Also a nice power-up for farming Coins. Jump to go higher, and swipe down to return to the ground.
   - Can be used with Weapons that requires Ground Slam to activate their power.

Tips While Running:

How To Do Ground Slams?
   - After hitting a flying monster, a wall-run, during a high jump or flight, swipe down to do a "Ground Slam", an AoE attack useful for defeating multiple enemies on the ground.

How To Do Stomps?
   - While in air, swipe down to do a "stomp" attack, use this to bounce on certain enemies or objects, just time it well.

Early Game: Farming and Upgrading

How to Farm Fast Coins Early Game:
   - Destroy Goon Crystals to gain 1,000 Coins.
Blades of Brim Goon Crystal
   - Tip: Do not enter the first portal to quickly reach the 1st Goon Crystal, after destroying it, continue with your current quest, or just let your hero die and repeat the process.

Complete Quests to Level Up and Unlock All Powerups
   - Tip: Every time you unlock a new power-up, upgrade it right away to 5 yellow bars or MAX to increase it's duration, then earn your Coins again for the next one.
   - Yup, this is your first priority, spend all of your early game Coins into upgrading power-ups.
Blades of Brim Powerup Upgrades
   - Upgrades Fees: 2,000 > 4,000 > 8,000 > 16,000 >  32,000 > 64,000.

Recommended Heroes and Armors
   - Keep leveling up until you unlock Atlas. His default armors are perfect for beginners, unless you can get better ones from chests.
   - Any Hero that can equip armors with +Midas Touch and/or +Magic Shield duration.

Recommended Weapons:
   - Any weapon will do but here are some notable weapons you might want to consider:

   - Trusty Rusty (default weapon): Highly recommended weapon for beginners. Upgrade to gain an extra heart.
   - Simulacrum (free limited time weapon for new android players): A nice Epic weapon for beginners, upgrade to MAX right away. Activate it's effect during runs to destroy enemies around you until the end of it's duration.

Other Early Game Tips
   - Save your Pet Whistles, Boost Items, and Essence for later.

Mid Game: Farming Coins, Weapons, Armors, and Pets


Recommended Heroes and Armors
   - Any Hero with armors that can extend the duration of your preferred power-ups.

Recommended Weapons:
   - Any weapon will do but here are some notable weapons you might want to consider:
Blades of Brim Golden Weapons
   - Golden Guardian (got from Store - Epic Chest) or any "Golden" Type Weapon like Golden Mercy (Rare Weapon): These weapons are great for farming Coins, even better if you can get one with extra effects.

Start Increasing Your Score Multipliers
   - Continue leveling up to unlock more Heroes, new types of Chests, and other in-game features.
   - High Score Multipliers will increase as you level up and gather more heroes, weapons, armors, and pets. Refer to the following tips on how to get them.
Blades of Brim High Score Bonuses
   - From the Main screen, tap on your High Score  to check your current progress. This is now your main priority.

Start Buying Epic Chests!
   - Farm Coins and use them to buy Epic Chests from the Shop. Hopefully, you'll be able to get a nice weapon with cool effects, some armors with better "+duration", and new pets.
   - Tip: To check if how many Epic Items you still need to get in the game, just scroll all the way down while browsing Weapons, Armors, or Pets.

   - Once you have some of the Epic items you want, start buying Common and Rare Chests.
   - Remember: Gray Items = Common Chests, Blue Items = Rare Chests, and Purple Items = Epic Chests.

Farming Chests From Portals
   - Tip: If you want to farm chests, enter non-event based portals and complete the portal quest.
   - Portal Chests will drop: Coins, Essence, Pet Whistle, Weapon, Armor, Pet, and Boosts.

Farming Event Based Items (Optional)
   - These are limited time items that you can only buy with tokens. Tokens can be farmed by entering event based portals, or by purchasing Event Chests from the Shop.

Buying Items From The Shop Using Essence (Optional)
   - Not really recommended for free users though, and since most of them can be obtained from chests anyway. Unless, one of the items listed is the only item you need to complete your collection.

Other Mid Game Tips
   - Do not upgrade Pets, only Weapons for now.
   - Save your Pet Whistles, Boost Items, and Essence for later.
   - Use Pets only if you want to easily complete the required Combos for Portal Quests.

Late Game: Get Ready to Boost Your High Scores!
   - You should now have reached the MAX Level in the game. If not, just continue, and also don't forget to MAX out your power-ups if you haven't done it already.
   - Continue and gather items that you don't have to keep your Score Multiplier.
Blades of Brim Pet Summon
It's Time To Use Your Pet!
   - Select a Pet you like, preferably with a very long duration (around 20+ sec with no upgrades yet), then upgrade it to MAX to increase it's duration. Note that some Pets will get more upgrade bars than others.
   - Some Pets will also have extra ability, example: Dragons have flight.
   - Farm Coins and start buying Pet Whistles, the more, the better.

Farm, and Use Some of Your Essence for Boosts
   - This is totally optional for free players, since you can also get them from chests.

- How to Get High Scores! -
Blades of Brim How to Get High Scores
(My first Mil, follow below tips to get even higher Scores!)

Boosting Items (Optional)
   - Activate one or more Boosts you like at the start of each run. Preferably Score Boost because it can increase your Score Bonus to +100%.
   - Purchased from the Shop using Essence, but also obtainable from chests.

Getting Scores
   - Simply by defeating enemies (rare ones are higher), pots, balloons, are some of the examples.
   - Make sure that you defeat those Goon Crystals too, to rake more scores.
   - Doing Wall-Runs will also yield scores.
   - Combos: Chaining combos is the challenge here, and you can easily do this by entering portals. Hit Combos increases your base Score Bonus Multiplier.

How To Keep Your Combo Hits Alive
   - Keep hitting monsters, pots, and balloons (you might need to swipe up to hit some of these balloons though).
   - Summoning Pets: If there is a wide gap between 2 targets, or when after hitting the last enemy near the end of the portal, your Combo Hits will stop, so, to be able to keep your Combo Hits alive, it's best to summon your Pet right after hitting your last available target.

When to Summon Pet?
   - Best is when you are trying to set high scores.

   - Summon to keep your Combo Hits alive, especially when you have achieved more than 20 hits.
   - If you are about to fall leading to a certain death, quickly activate your pet to use it's double jump or flight ability. If you fail, your pet can still revive your hero.
   - When you don't have Magic Shield or Hit Protection on.
   - Tight places with lots of enemies.
   - Places where you need to do multiple wall-runs and falling ain't an option.

Revive Using Essence
   - If you still want to continue, pay up the Revive fee to continue your run.
   - Revive will replenish all of your Hearts.
