How to Expand Your Arsenal

  • Locker Time:
    • As you explore the tutorial sequence, familiarize yourself with the lockers near the tower's entrance. Use the keys provided to unlock the first three lockers, with Agent 4's Palette waiting for you in the third. This grants you access to a third weapon for your battles. Gather more locker keys as you climb The Spire, earning them every 10 floors. Prepare for challenging boss battles on the tenth floor by stocking up on Color Chips.
