Universe

Universe is a part of the progression of the game, which is added in v1.1.6 patch. Each Universe determines the difficulty of the general gameplay loop. The information of currently active Universe, alongside Dimension and alternate Timeline can be seen on the top of the main screen.

*The information of currently active Universe*

Universe powers can be accessed via the portal in the bottom left of the map upon clearing Dimension 20 for the first time, allowing players to challenge a new boss, Vigo, then travel to a new Universe, with increased difficulty and increased rewards. Ascending in Universe causes all Heroes' stats to be "crunched down", without significantly altering the stats of the enemies. Each Universe reduces all Heroes' Effective HP, Attack, and Defense.

Each Universe contains:

A new enemy zone, containing new enemies (with eggs), new gemstones, and interesting loot from its area boss.
A new set of 5 powerful upgrades, 1 of which can be toggled on at a given time.
A new building or other mechanic to further increase the Heroes' abilities.
A new type of loot drop, with powerful potential.
A new statue to invest in at the Temple of Time.

By entering Universe 2 for the first time, the "normal" gameplay loop will be dubbed as "Universe 1". Currently in total, there are 4 new Universes to attempt to reach. Each Universal Power grants players with various bonuses that increases their power with the amount of total Dimensions cleared across all Universe. Therefore, it is encouraged to clear as many Dimensions as possible to increase the Universal Power bonuses.

New statues can be accessed in the Statue interface as soon as players enter Universe 2 for the first time.

Universe 2[]

Requirement: Complete Dimension 20 for the first time
Crunch Factor: Stats^0.406
New Area: The Frozen Tundra
New Mechanic: The Farming Ground

Universe 2 unlocks the "Gilded Statue", which grants bonus to all stats, and costs Gold to raise the statue level at the amount of 10^Level. With this statue being unlocked, it is encouraged to create a dedicated Gold farming set if players wish to increase the level of Gilded Statue as high as possible.

The Farming Ground allows players to plant various seeds they have acquired to earn a variety of benefits. Crop seed will become "Green" crops then "Ripen", and should be harvested before they "Wither". All crops grant some permanent multipliers to various resources, as well as Farm Points, which will improve the Farming capabilities.

Seeds can be found randomly in battle, and available in the Potion Shop in Universe 2 onward. The Little Iron Chef's Active Skill Slice and Dice also works to increase the chance of seed drops when it defeats an enemy.
