Bigger team or stronger units?
When to buy experience to level up, and when to reroll.
After this lesson you can choose between levelling up and rerolling.
Your level
Your level is how many units can fight on your board, so at level 6 you can put 6 units on the board. You get 2 experience free every round, and levels go up to 10.

How the practice round differs
A practice round with units from a recommended board in the current set (Solar with Karma). It is not a real game and never reads one.
- Shop: which costs show up at each level follows the game's own odds, but every unit of a cost is equally likely (the shared pool of copies is not counted).
- No fights, rounds or income, and the clock stands still: gold only changes when you spend it or sell.
Question 1 of 3
In a real game
A common pace is level 6 around 3-2, level 7 around 3-5 or 4-1, and level 8 around 4-2 or 4-5. The cheat sheet has a fuller table.
Unless your plan stays low on purpose, staying at a low level too long keeps your board small, so keep levelling at a steady pace.
Try it next game: once you reach 50 gold, slow roll with only the gold above it, and count the 2-stars you finish.
Watch out for this
Levelling up because it's the usual time, then fielding a unit that adds nothing, spends gold for very little. The extra place only helps if the new unit switches on a trait or is strong by itself. If you have nothing good to add, rolling at your current level is often the better buy.
