Realm of Inkis an example of awell-executed roguelike game, getting its inspiration from the behemoth known asHades. It does a few things to help itself stand out from its inspiration, and from other games in the genre, such as the addition of a cute little pet companion that evolves alongside the player.
However, it shares a lot of similarities withother roguelike games, such as the gameplay loop, the combat mechanics, and the meta progression system. The game isn’t very stingy with its resources, nor is it particularly difficult to beat, but there is something to be said about the efficiency of resource allocation.
How do Talents Work in Realm of Ink
There are a few different ways of meta progression inRealm of Ink. Firstly, players canunlock new characters, or skins, and try out their different abilities. Secondly, they can evolve their pet, Momo, by feeding it. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, players can invest in talents and perks that increase their chances of completing a run.
you’re able to buy talents from the Talent Stele using Foxblood, a fairly abundant resource that you’ll automatically collect while going through a room and fighting enemies. In total, there are 33 talents that you can unlock, not including the parent talents that are unlocked on their own. These are divided into four tiers, and three categories, i.e., Damage, Healing, and Resource.
Choosing the right ones at the start isn’t extremely important since you’ll only need a few runs before you rack up enough Foxblood to outright unlock everything, but it’ll take a bit longer before you can completely max out the Stele.
Best Talents To Unlock First in Realm of Ink
Out of the 33 talents found within Realm of Ink, you should buy the first level of each as soon as possible. This is because of the Parent talents, which can’t be directly purchased, become active once the talents within their tier are purchased. Parent talents are extremely powerful, much more than the normal talents in the stele. Unlocking just one talent in a tier will give you a level one version of the parent talent, though you won’t be able to unlock the next tier until you’ve unlocked the other talents in the previous tier.
Now the question becomes, which talent is the most important in the short-term, being worthy ofyour hard-earned Foxblood. There are a few different options available to players, which are as follows:
1
Fast Learner
Foxblood Drop +2-10%, +25% (Lvl. 5) from Bosses
Helps you max out the talent stele as fast as possible
2
Fastest way to increase your damage output
3
Makes you much faster, and helps the gameplay flow better
