How far you go in Rogue-lite Star Renegades RPG will boil down to your characters. The more powerful they get, the more damage they can do and survive. There are a few important mechanics related to upgrading, so in this article, we're going to go over some important things you need to know.
How to level up
Characters level up using DNA you can find in the world or win battles. There is a shared DNA pool available, and all characters will have different power-up costs, depending on their current level. You will normally only be able to level up one character at a time, unless you sit down on the DNA you've collected.
Make sure to explore all the sites you come across and open up various crates and boxes because you never know what they might be in. You can also choose upper world routes that contain many battles, to increase your chances of getting this useful reward.
What does the upgrade do?
Upgrading a character will give them more health, unlock new abilities, and might even earn you a card that you can use in a camp. More importantly, it will allow them to use higher level material.
Equipment can be found in grids scattered around the world and will provide significant benefits in combat by enhancing certain types of attacks and damage. As such, it can be a good idea to keep some DNA in reserve, in case you suddenly need to upgrade a character for gear that will work fine on them, but not on another limb. of the group.
This needs to be balanced with the fact that every time you jump into a new reality (he's a thug, remember) your levels will reset. As such, it's a constant game of choosing and living with your decisions.
