• If you're familiar with other deckbuilders (Slay the Spire, etc), you can start playing on hard
  • Running out of evade is the most common way to die. Don't neglect your mobility when building a deck, taking hull damage from avoidable shots is bad enough but lack of movement can also leave you unable to effectively attack. Basic Dodge A is a strong upgrade possibility for some character combinations that don't have many good evade choices.
  • 0 damage attacks still destroy missiles/asteroids, apply statuses, break breakable parts, deal 1 damage to weak parts (still 0 damage to brittle parts) and trigger enemy reactions
  • Drone attacks don't benefit from attack boosts
  • Most enemies can move 99 on their turn, you can evade attacks but you can't outrun them forever

Codex completion

  • You must actually choose the card/relic to enter it into codex, just seeing it isn't enough
  • Some cards/relics can only be found on specific ships or difficulty levels
  • Cards from events are the hardest to complete
  • Stuck at 22/23 events? You're playing too well. The event you're probably missing only triggers when you're at low health in sector 1.
