🏗️ Run Building
How to plan a coherent Sol Cesto run: gold pacing, Blacksmith timing, item priorities, and Teeth combos that match your character.
Three pillars
- Stats — Magic 4 before late biomes; Strength for physical lanes.
- Economy — Bubbles early, Arrows banked for bosses, gold floated into Star Bucket before risky fights.
- Teeth identity — Pick Stone teeth that match your defensive budget; add Metal teeth that trigger often in your playstyle.
Character-specific lenses
- Knight — can tolerate “more monsters” teeth longer; still needs Magic 4.
- Mage — prefers clean boards; prioritize empty-space and trap-down teeth.
- Vampire — wants combats for lifesteal; monster-up teeth can pay off.
- Archer — values precise removal; stock Arrows and plan rows where Precision Shot deletes the lone threat.
Shop loop
Visit The Merchant whenever route allows. Dice once per visit, buy Bubbles first, then tech items (Sun Potion, Bomb) as needed. Remember the nose-steal timing and the irreversible Bomb-on-Merchant option.
