Editorial Strategy

Solve “I am stuck right now” first

The first-launch homepage does not flatten every page equally. It pushes high-intent content forward: first clear, Furies, Hydra, Theseus & Asterius, final boss, aspects, and resource priority. That gives new visitors a cleaner next click and a stronger reason to stay.

Megaera
Boss

Megaera

The baseline Fury fight: read whip lines, respect lunge recovery, and learn clean first-boss punish windows.
