## 🎯 Strategy Tips

### Early Game (Levels 1-5):

- Use **Attack** (free) to conserve MP for tough enemies

- Prioritize upgrading **STR** for consistent damage

- Save gold for **Leather Armor** (2,000 gold) ASAP

- Use the 🏡 **Inn** freely - it's free and only takes 10 seconds

### Mid Game (Levels 6-12):

- Balance **INT** upgrades - Spell becomes your nuke ability

- Craft **Great Staff** or **Great Sword** when you reach 50k gold

- Upgrade to **Chain Mail** (10k) then **Plate Armor** (30k)

- Watch for Elite enemies - they drop more gold/EXP

### Late Game (Levels 13+):

- **Mythril Armor** (60k) makes you nearly invincible

- Get BOTH weapons for maximum damage output

- **VIT** becomes valuable - each point adds 2 HP per level

- Bosses every 10 kills are dangerous - use Inn before fighting them

### General Tips:

1. **Never let MP hit 0** - keep at least 15 for emergency Spell

2. **Enemy turn is random** - they only attack ~50% of the time

3. **DEF is powerful** - each point reduces damage 1-for-1

4. **The Inn heal is FREE** - use it whenever you're low

5. **Elite/Boss enemies** = higher rewards, attack strategically
