Watch the glowing target
Heat the blade by holding the bellows, then release when the strike window reaches its glowing sweet spot. Releasing too early or too late can waste time on an order. Focus on the visual target rather than holding for an arbitrary duration; the order clock means each attempt should be deliberate. After a strike, notice how the next work cycle begins.
Spend coins to solve a problem
Upgrades affect different parts of the forge, including bellows, anvil, apprentice and metal. Think about what currently slows completion: heating, striking or finishing an order. Choose an upgrade that addresses that constraint instead of buying every category without a plan. Orders have clocks, so faster progress can create more room to handle the next timing window.
Treat rebirth as a progression choice
The game includes a star rebirth mechanic, but rebirth is a change in progression rather than an immediate timing fix. Before choosing it, consider what upgrades or progress you have built and what the mechanic says will reset or carry over in-game. This page does not guess those exact balances; use the game’s explanation before committing.
