Blades of Brim Guide – 5 Tips & Tricks to Playing the Game

Endless runner games are always entertaining to play. They have simple yet challenging gameplay. Your character will keep on moving forward, and all you have to do is to avoid obstacles along the way. You just need to sidestep, slide, or jump. Though these games are fun, they can also become a bit boring after a while. Well, you won’t experience that with Blades of Brim, a unique and awesome endless runner.

Published by SYBO Games, the publisher that bought Subway Surfers, Blades of Brim is an action endless runner that offers unique gameplay. Instead of avoiding obstacles, you also get to hit enemies and smash pots. With these added elements, the game makes it more exciting to play. They also make Blades of Brim more challenging to play than your usual endless runner game. To help you with that, this blog post will provide some tips and tricks on how you can properly play the game.
 

Dealing With the Tutorial

Tutorials are part of many games, and it’s a good way for you to learn the basics of their gameplay. Blades of Brim is not exempted from it as it also has a tutorial in the beginning. The problem here is that this game’s tutorial is a bit long and will span several levels. What’s more, the tutorial is not continuous like most tutorials. You will be given the first part of the tutorial, and then you play on your own. Once you’ve reached the next level after completing several quests, you’ll be taken to another tutorial again.

This kind of tutorial can become annoying for certain players. To get rid of it, you don’t have any other choice but to complete all of it. This will likely span in several levels, so expect to get the tutorial for a while. Once you complete all the tutorials, then you won’t have to worry about it anymore. You even won’t have to worry about lockable features as you’ve unlocked them all during the tutorial.
 

Spend Your Coins & Essence Wisely

Like with any endless runner, you’ll be collecting coins during your run. These coins are very important in the game as they will help you progress. During the early parts of the game, your coins should be used for upgrading power-ups. These power-ups will help you in progressing in the early stages of the game.

Once you get to the mid and later stages, acquiring powerful weapons and pets, as well as upgrading them, should be your next focus. You can also spend coins on getting epic chests, as you might get good weapons or pets there. Aside from coins, you can also acquire essence. They’re more difficult to get, which means you’ll likely have a few of them. So, it’s essential to use them wisely. Don’t buy anything using essence early on in the game. Just save them for the later part.

When you have enough essence, there are several things you can buy. You can get boots, the Revive Option, a weapon, armor, or pets. You can also unlock heroes. Depending on how much you can save, you’ll likely be able to purchase one or two of the options mentioned. It’s up to you to decide what you want. However, it’s better if you go for something that you will need.

Getting A High Score

It’s worth noting that scoring points in Blades of Brim is not the same as other endless runners. You don’t earn points for the coins you get or for how far you’ve traveled. You earn points by smashing enemies and pots. That’s why for tasks or quests where you need to earn points, you’ll need to smash as many pots or take out as many enemies as you can.

One way to take more enemies that are grouped is by doing a ground smash. To do that, you’ll need to be high in the air and then swipe down to smash the ground. You can get high by doing a wall run, hitting a flying monster, or doing a high jump. The ground smash will take out enemies that are near each other, allowing you to score more points.

Watch Out for the Numbers Above Monster’s Heads

Monsters will have a number above their heads. It determines their power or the number of slashes you need to do before they’re taken out. Most monsters will only have 1 on them, which means they will be taken out with only one slash. But you will encounter monsters that will have a different number than 1. These monsters won’t die instantly. Instead, they just get knocked back. This means you’ll have to face them again. So, just hit them again to take them out.
 

Always Go as High as Possible

There will be moments where you’ll choose between going lower or higher. That said, you must always choose to go higher. That is because rewards are usually better at the higher levels of the map. So, always try to go as high as possible. You can make use of the environment that you have if you want to go higher. Use the wall run and then double jump to reach high places. You can even use the flying monsters to help you go high. Remember, the best rewards in Blades of Brim are usually at the top.

There are still more tips and tricks that will help in your gameplay. But these basic tips mentioned above will already help you progress easily.
