For beginners, we recommend starting with the "Guardian" character. The Guardian has:

• Higher base health and defense stats
• A shield ability that activates automatically when health is low
• A basic but effective starting weapon
• More forgiving gameplay that helps you learn enemy patterns

Once you're comfortable with the basic mechanics, you can try more specialized characters like the "Mage" (high damage but low health) or the "Scout" (high movement speed but average stats).

The "best" weapon combination depends on your playstyle and character choice, but some popular and effective combinations include:

• Area control: Tornado + Lightning Ring + Fire Wand
• Single target damage: Magic Dagger + Bow + Holy Sword
• Defensive setup: Shield + Axe + Garlic Aura
• Speed run build: Whip + Song of Time + Clock Lancet

Experiment with different combinations to find what works best for you. Remember that some weapons have synergy effects when paired together!

New characters can be unlocked through several methods:

• Achievement milestones: Complete specific in-game achievements
• Level progression: Reach certain account levels
• Special events: Participate in limited-time events
• Challenge completions: Complete specific game challenges

You can check the requirements for each character by clicking on their locked portrait in the character selection screen. The base game includes 3 characters, with 7 more that can be unlocked through gameplay.

Monster Survivors is inspired by the roguelite survival genre that games like Vampire Survivors helped popularize. While there are similarities in the core gameplay loop (surviving waves of enemies, auto-attacking, leveling up), Monster Survivors differentiates itself with:

• Unique monster types and themed environments
• A different progression system focusing on character abilities
• Original weapons and power-up mechanics
• Multiplayer cooperative modes (coming soon)
• Different art style and monster designs

If you enjoy games in this genre, you'll likely find Monster Survivors both familiar and refreshingly different.

We follow a regular update schedule to keep the game fresh and exciting:

• Major content updates: Every 2-3 months (new characters, levels, or mechanics)
• Balance patches: Monthly (adjustments to weapons, enemies, and progression)
• Bug fixes: As needed, typically within 1-2 weeks of discovery
• Special events: Seasonal events throughout the year
