Dragon Sweeper Tips and Tricks for v1.1.18
Tiles drop Gold equal to the amount of hearts it takes to reveal it, some drop more.
Walls are the only thing you can hit, lose a heart and not earn gold.
Its best to spend all hearts before healing, just not on walls.
Leveling is better than using a healing scroll, because while both heal you to full, leveling increases your total health by one every two levels. Saving the healing scroll gets you more for its use later on.
There is nothing stopping you from clicking on a heal scroll if your health is full.
You can try to keep low value targets alive so you can have more flexibility in revealing risky tiles (high value possibility), or kill them to reveal as much board info as possible.
Try not to open a known spot if it doesn’t reveal new information, unless its too risky to reveal anything else.
Think of information as Venn diagrams, use that to identify the value of monster underneath.
Board Patterns (Spoilers)
Walls (0) come in pairs vertical/horizontal not diagonal (There are three pairs)
Goblins\Gargoyles (4) come in pairs vertical/horizontal not diagonal and face each other.
Dragons egg (0) spawns in one of the 8 tiles around the dragon (13), egg drops three gold.
Rats (1) face horizontally towards the rat king (5) standing up if in the same column
You can kill the Rat King and still get the Rat Pacifist Stamp. (I’ve heard it called a cat because of this)
Minotaur’s (6) face away from their chest.
One chest is a Mimic (11) be wary.
Three chests are +5 gold, the others are healing scrolls.
Bomb Skeleton/Mine King (10) is in one of the four corners dropping the bomb disarm scroll.
Bombs (100) drop three gold after being disarmed.
Lovers (9) are on the same row and face each other, they each drop a healing scroll when killed.
Slime Witch (1) is on the edge of the board surrounded by purple slime (8) and drops the slime reveal scroll
There are two beholders (5) They obscure the values on tiles within a 2 tile orthogonal radius with ?. ? get removed when slain.
There is one Guardian (7) in each quadrant of the board, indicated on the shield.
Gnome drops nine gold when all empty tiles are revealed
Killing the dragon (13) doesn’t end the game, claiming the crown after collecting the gold does.
The All Pacifist Run (not killing the lovers, rats, and egg) is Possible. (Source https://itch.io/post/12152991 )
