Why Stonewall works

Stonewall gives a new Mercenary a defensive answer for the first contact, then turns the recovered space into a short Sword pressure sequence. It is designed to survive learning mistakes.

  • Use shield timing to avoid taking every trade.
  • Spend damage after the enemy's pressure ends.
  • Keep the extraction route in mind before committing.

Upgrade order

Build the core action first: reliable protection, stamina for the reset, then damage that makes the next room shorter. The goal is consistency before perfect rolls.

  • Start with the weapon path and key active skills.
  • Add sustain before expensive damage pieces.
  • Use the planner to save a budget and a later version.
