Reap and Rush First Run Guide
Do not grade the first run on a True Ending. Grade it on whether you can name Fate Stones, Yin Laws, Tributes, and the Book of Life and Death, and whether you survived long enough to see a Chenghuang shop.
1.0.1 fixed new players stuck in the tutorial overlay. 1.0.3 added Seal cinematic guidance. Tutorial chests that could not be sealed now grant replacements. Starting chests were set to 1 HP on 12 August so you are not whiffing a tutorial prop.

Minutes 0–20
Bind keys. Pick White Crow if you want the advertised mowing fantasy, or whoever the current roster highlights—Black Wuchang led the last demo overhaul, Ah Cong stepped back. Stay on one officer.
Minutes 20–45
Accept one duty. Sample a tribute. Do not dual-complete events if you are still on a pre-12-August build (that freeze is patched). Visit Headwind Express only to understand the warehouse, not to min-max.
Success criteria
- You know sealing is meta, not a run-only shop.
- You felt one synergy click.
- You know Repair Save Data exists.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I chase achievements first?+
No. Several achievements fired wrongly at launch and were patched.
Is difficulty 1 insulting?+
