Start in Bunnyville, not in a build spreadsheet
Use the village as your between-run checklist. Learn where the vendors, Ken, and Destiny Inscription are located before you worry about a perfect artifact route. The goal of the first run is to make the next run easier to read.
Open the Journal and browse the weapon, artifact, tablet, and upgrade entries you have already unlocked. This gives you a vocabulary for the choices that will appear in the tower.
Finish the early permanent systems
Progress through Ken's Home Repair line and inspect the permanent talent choices it opens. Pair those decisions with Destiny Inscription rather than spending every Sapphire on a single damage idea.
A failed run still gives you information about room pressure, route safety, and which upgrade was missing. Write one sentence after each attempt so the next choice has a reason.
Choose one of six weapon branches
Sephiria's six branches are different playstyles, not cosmetic skins. Choose the one whose normal attack and movement you can understand, then keep the first few upgrades inside that direction.
If a drop does not fit, take a survivability or room-control option and keep the route alive. A coherent average run teaches more than a high-roll run you cannot reproduce.
First-clear checklist
Before leaving the village, check your permanent upgrade, weapon direction, healing margin, and one escape habit. Before a boss, stop taking optional damage for a better-looking item.
Use this guide in a run
- 01Set up the village
Find Ken, the Journal, and Destiny Inscription before the first serious run.
- 02Choose one branch
Use one weapon direction long enough to understand its range, recovery, and first upgrade.
- 03Keep one safety valve
Reserve a defensive or movement answer for crowded rooms instead of spending every choice on damage.
- 04Write the next experiment
After the run, keep one success and one failure so the next attempt has a clear purpose.
Before you commit to this route
- Choose one weapon direction before chasing rare drops
- Keep one defensive option for crowded rooms
- Write down the first upgrade that changed your route
- Re-check names and values in the current Journal
