Idle Runner Wiki

First Run Basics Your hero fights on its own — auto-firing at the enemies that close in and meleeing the ones that reach it. You spend Leaves on in-run boosts; permanent progress carries over between runs. Unlock Roadmap New modules unlock as you play — Workshop, Equipment, Powers, Runes, the Forge, the Campaign pass and deeper Worlds each appear at a clear milestone. Big Numbers What K, M, B … and the letters past them really mean.

Combat HUD Everything on the run screen: currencies, wave bar, HP block, boost tabs, spell orbs and the pause menu. Worlds and Unlocks Eight worlds, each far harder and far more rewarding. Worlds 2-6 unlock at wave 100 of the previous one; the act worlds have their own gates. Waves, Bosses & Runs How waves advance, when bosses spawn, and what counts as a run. Enemy Types Every enemy, what it does, and how to counter it. Enemy Scaling Why enemies suddenly feel much tougher on higher waves and worlds. Why Did I Die? Reading the death screen and fixing the weakness that killed you. Combat Stats Explained What every offense, defense and damage-over-time stat actually does.

Boost Bar (In-Run Upgrades) The leaf-funded upgrades you buy DURING a run — temporary power that resets each run. Workshop Permanent coin-bought upgrades that persist between runs. Powers Automatic abilities that fight for you. Continuous powers run all the time; windowed powers cycle between active and cooldown. Spells and Mana Auto-cast abilities powered by mana that your own playstyle generates. Unlocked through the Awakening tree. Mana Archetypes Five mana colors, each charged by a different action: crits, dodges, kills, boss hits and HP lost. Passive Skills Permanent account bonuses that unlock themselves when your lifetime stats hit their requirements. All tiers stack. Runes Open Rune Stones with diamonds, level the runes you like to 50, and equip them into rune slots.

Equipment Basics Four gear slots with flat stats, rarity-driven bonus modifiers, item levels and artifact sockets. Merge and Salvage Merge duplicates into stronger items; salvage the rest into Essence. Auto-salvage keeps your inventory clean. Artifact Crafting Craft artifacts in the Forge from enemy materials, merge three of a kind to raise their tier, and forge a Legendary from three Tier III. Artifact Socketing Socket crafted artifacts into equipped gear. Effects apply only while the host item is equipped; duplicate effects are blocked. Jewelry Rings and amulets unlocked by Awakening. They add passive bonuses or proc effects that trigger from combat events. Cinderburst and Overkill How Cinderburst measures excess killing damage and which killing hits can trigger it. Upgrades, Rerolls & Loadouts Sharpening one item, rerolling its power, and saving full builds. Legendary Artifacts The crafting endgame above the regular tiers. Materials & Sources Which enemy drops which crafting material, and where caps apply.

Offline Earnings Passive coins while your hero is not in a run Currencies Leaves fuel the current run; Coins, Diamonds, Materials, Essence and War Spoils build permanent progress. Diamonds The premium currency. Daily chest, ads and quests give a steady free income; spend it on permanent power. Quests Daily, weekly and story goals that pay diamonds and Campaign XP. Targets scale with your best wave. Campaign Pass The seasonal 30-tier reward track with a free and a premium row — tier 30 is the final tier. Leaves vs Coins Two basic currencies: one resets every run, one is forever. Leaf Furnace A late-game sink that burns surplus leaves into other currencies. Daily Chest & Ads Free recurring rewards and how ad bonuses work. Shop & Purchases Diamond packs, quality-of-life perks, cosmetics and purchase restore. Skins Hero looks that each add a permanent, stacking coin bonus. Quality of Life Pack A one-time purchase that bundles convenience and insight features. Instant Rewards (No Ads) Claim your ad rewards with one tap and hide banners — your diamonds are unchanged.

Eternal Sanctum Time-gated rituals that grow permanent stat upgrades over real time — even while you are away. Stake coins for a chance to shorten them, or spend diamonds to rush them. Rune Ascension Ascend maxed runes after Awakening I to unlock Tier II and Tier III secondary bonuses on top of the main effect. Companions Collectible creatures: every owned companion adds +1% coins, the equipped one trains for global DPS, and after Awakening they wield powers. War Banners One active banner whose effect rises linearly to full strength at wave 1,000. Bought and upgraded with War Spoils. Awakening The long-term endgame ladder: 8 levels, each demanding a longer list of permanent account milestones. Awakening Tree and AP Spend AP on a radial talent tree: spells, companion powers, ascension paths and stat nodes. Companion Training How companions level up and what training unlocks. Ascension Spend coins to push already-maxed workshop upgrades past their limit, +1% each. An Awakening perk — nothing resets. Worlds 7+: The Act From World 7 on the game changes rhythm: 100-wave chapters with Chapter Conditions, Chapter Bosses, Wards and inherent Corruption. Corruption The act worlds' inherent hostility: it rises on its own every 300 waves — enemies hit harder, healing weakens, materials drop richer. Celestial Wards W7+ ward carriers mitigate ONE of your damage classes at a time — the other two always hit full. Chapter Conditions One card per chapter tilts the enemy mix for the second half — read it on the act HUD strip. Chapter Bosses Every 100th wave in W7+ brings a far tougher Chapter Boss — non-blocking: the wave rolls on while you fight it. Act Materials & Attunement Celestial Filament and Echo Shard — the W7+ materials that fuel permanent Artifact Attunement ranks. Memory Waves Twice per chapter, World 8+ thaws a wave from the original world it echoes — a nostalgia beat with normal rewards.
