VOID RUNNER

Run progression & advanced tips

DRONE / Q cycles ATTACK, PROTECT and COLLECT. Protection stops one ordinary shot per drone every 0.9s (Guardian: 0.6s); heavy artillery cannot be blocked. Collection draws nearby XP; both tasks stop drone fire.

EMBER chevrons and VEIL rings mark rival groups. Crossfire can hit you. Deal at least 20% of an enemy’s hull in the last 12s to earn HALF XP when its rival finishes it; no kill or score credit.

• Aim with the cursor and hold LEFT CLICK to fire. Release to stop. Auto Fire in Settings uses the same damage and fire rate.
• Touch: drag the left side to steer; drag the right side to aim and fire. Use the on-screen Dash and skill buttons.
• Cyan shards are experience. Collect them to level up and pick upgrades.
• Your shield recharges if you avoid damage for a few seconds. Your hull does not.
• Four guardians await. Reach run levels 5, 10, 15 and 20 to trigger them sooner, with time fallbacks around 3, 6, 10 and 15 minutes. The Architect guards the final stage.
• From level 5, choose one of two weapon paths. Each changes your primary fire and locks its alternative for this run. You can postpone the choice.
• After certain boss attacks, a green CORE OPEN cue marks a brief bonus-damage opportunity. Keep attacking normally outside that window.
• REGROUP pauses new reinforcements briefly. Existing enemies remain dangerous; collect experience and reposition.
• Outlined wrecks are solid: hulls and primary fire, including ARC and PULSE, cannot pass through them. Active special abilities keep their area and flight rules. Unoutlined distant wrecks are scenery.
• Hold a defense relay for 2s to earn one 8s shelter. It stops ordinary shots, not enemy hulls, locked attacks or artillery. A boss warning shuts it down for the sector.
• Elites drop captured weapons for 12s. Pick up LANCE or SEEKER for 3 automatic secondary shots, one per primary volley. Spend all ammo before collecting another. Breach contracts grant lance ammo only when the slot is empty.
• Certain upgrade combinations also resonate into hidden evolutions. Discover them yourself.
