Key tiles and upgrades for Chain Master

Chain Master is looking for some specific tools to refine their starter kit and it's up to you to determine the path you choose.

Combo-focused upgrades work best on Chain Master. Meteor Hammer can hit and kill two enemies at once, easily activating any passive skills that rely on combos. If you get the Double-Strike upgrade on it, it can activate three-hit combos needed for stronger combo skills.

When choosing a route, Prefer Waring and Combo stores. Dancer upgrades are the least useful, as most of them provide minimal bonuses to your swap toss.

Tile Upgrades You'll want to dedicate to upgrading your main attack, either Meteor Hammer or Hookblade, and Give it as much damage as possible.

The The combo recharge skill allows you to Use this attack frequently even with a long cooldown. Both attacks can activate it reliably.

Perfect Strike is an alternate upgrade path for Meteor Hammer. Since it can hit multiple enemies it has a High chance of resetting its cooldown With accurate kills, but it needs to limit how much damage upgrades give you.

The The free-play upgrade works best on charged or twin Tessen tilesGiving you an emergency tool to escape or knock enemies out of attack range. Freeze upgrades are another strong option to prevent damage but won't work against later bosses.

When you are given more tiles you want to look primarily for tools to enable more combos, and secondarily for mobility tools that can get you out of danger:

• A sharp turn fits naturally into a three-hit combo When paired with Charge and Meteor Hammer. Slam into an enemy, spin around, and hit a second before finishing off the first enemy with a meteor hammer backswing. Going into a hammer-turn-charge is also an effective way to attack and then run away in the same turn.

• Lightning and Earth Impel are excellent attacks to complement the optional loadout. They bypass the main enemy Set up a group of enemies vulnerable to Hookblade. They can also deal with problematic ranged attackers.

• Nagiboku is the perfect tool for setting up combosHitting four tiles and not reducing enemies below one health.

• Tools for relocating enemies can be used in between to deflect incoming attacks at the end of a combo or to set up a third attack tile.
