Loop Hero has been casting a spell on players since it was released, charging up the top-sellers list on Steam. The joyous mix of deck building, auto battler, and RPG is surprisingly tactically demanding, where smart decisions can carry a run and mistakes can result in a quick death and a loss of precious resources.
Loop Hero‘s true progress relies on cleverly farming up those resources and getting back to camp, setting up new buildings, and performing upgrades that will grant players access to important buffs, new classes, and new abilities. Knowing how to farm each resource is vital, as players will find it possible to manipulate the loop in many ways to focus farm the items they need.
Many resources are tied to specific tiles or tile combinations, though some will take far more luck and effort to get than others. Players have ways to dedicate runs to trying to get the rare resources, although such tactics are not without risk.
- Food Supply – made by earning 12 Rations. Rations are earned each time a Meadow tile is placed on the level. Complete Food Supplies can also be earned by fighting on Battlefields.
- Stable Wood – made by earning 12 Stable Branches. Stable Branches are earned by passing through Grove tiles.
- Preserved Rock – made by earning 10 Preserved Pebbles. Preserved Pebbles can be earned by placing Rock and Moutain tiles or moving through a Cemetary tile. Large amounts of Preserved Pebbles can be earned by creating a Mountain Peak.
- Stable Metal – made by earning 13 Scrap Metal. Scrap Metal is earned by gather excess weapons and armor and overfilling your inventory. Scrap Metal can also be earned by placing Meadow and Rock cards around a Treasury.
- Metamorphosis – made by earning 20 Noticeable Change. Noticeable Change is earned by using any tile altering combinations, such as placing Meadows beside Rocks to create Blooming Meadows.
- Book of Memories – made by earning 10 Memory Fragments. Memory Fragments can be earned by overfilling the card deck at the bottom of the screen or by building the Cemetery at camp and placing Cemetery tiles on the loop.
- Astral Orb – earned by defeating Mage and Cosmic type enemies. A good creature to farm for these are Dark Slimes which can be created by destroying a Goblin Camp while a Goblin is still on the tile.
- Orb of Afterlife – made by earning 10 Pitiful Remains. Pitiful Remains can drop from Vampire and Undead enemies from the second level onward.
- Orb of Crafts – can be earned by defeating Artificial and Object type enemies. Chests that spawn from Battlefields are a great source for this.
- Orb of Evolution – can be obtained by killing enemies that are consider Living or Plant types. Bandits are a good living enemy that will appear for every two Villages that are placed on the loop.
- Orb of Expansion – Can be earned by killing more than four monsters in a single fight. Vampire Mansions placed beside Villages will spawn a vampire and four Ghouls, giving players a chance to earn the Orb of Expansion. The more enemies in the fight, the higher the drop chance of the Orb of Expansion.
- Orb of Immortality – the Orb of Immortality is earned by defeating chapter bosses such as killing the Lich.
- Orb of Unity – earned by defeating Liquid or Swarm type enemies. Liquid types are any Slimes and are quite common.
Players will want to try and go on long runs to farm up these resources, so health potions from the Herbalist’s Hut will be essential. As always, there will also be some luck involved, and players will need to ensure they are building their deck to support their farming goals. There will be little point in trying to farm the Orb of Crafts without the Battlefield card in their deck, for example.
The Orb resources will also have a better chance of dropping as players get further into the game, so progressing through the stages is vital. This means players will need to practice and get used to the core gameplay loop and perfect various methods of manipulating the game and resource drops.
Loop Hero is available now on PC.
