How to play

This page serves as a How to play guide for Regions of Ruin. Check back often as new tips are added, and feel free to add your own!

Skills

 * Some good skills to consider taking early are Throwing, Shield Dash, and Bleeding
 * Throwing provides a ranged attack, so you have less risk to yourself when fighting. When enemies get close, you can dash away and continue throwing, but remember to watch your stamina.
 * Shield Dash lets you dash while blocking, stunning enemies you hit and keeping your front covered.
 * Bleeding adds a damage-over-time effect to all your melee strikes, effectively doubling your damage.

Combat

 * If you are outmatched and heavily injured, get out of combat for at least 5 seconds and you can travel to a different area (ideally back to your settlement). Live to fight another day.
 * Dashing is your friend. While dashing, you are briefly invulnerable and can outrun most enemies.
 * Dashing past or through enemies that you can't beat can allow you to free prisoners and loot chests in high-level areas with minimal damage. Finding a powerful weapon or armor in one of theses chests will make your life easier for a while, and may even give you a fighting chance in the current area.
 * When making power attacks, time it so that the enemy comes to you.

Construction

 * Upgrade your storage tent early to avoid wasting materials you find, and so that workers are always producing.
 * Don't forget that your campfire can be upgraded. Doing so will allow exploration of a larger area at once, making it easier and more efficient to find locations.

General Tips

 * Don't dismantle unwanted rare(colored) armor and weapons, sell them. They provide no more materials than their normal counterparts, but can be sold for much more coin.
