How to Play Early Game in This Kind of Game

You might already know this, but When you start, save up 50 gold to upgrade your defense. Focus on increasing physical defense (damage reduction, not percentage) to hold out. Once you have 300 gold, watch an ad to get 200 gold, and then use 500 gold to upgrade your thorn shield. After that, focusing on the thorn shield, physical defense, health regeneration, and health will make the early game relatively easier. Upgrade the thorn shield and physical defense. When the thorn shield reaches about 20%, switch to prioritizing physical defense upgrades. This should help you progress through the early to mid-game quickly. If you prioritize attack power and attack speed early on, you won't earn gold efficiently. It's faster to earn gold by defending with the thorn shield. Or maybe not~ This is just how I'm playing.
