Quick start

New to Talespinner? Follow these steps before your next run.

  1. 1

    Learn the Storybook loop

    Read How to Play, Difficulty Modes, and Storybook Encounters so you understand narration picks, stage lengths, and Story Points before your first boss.

  2. 2

    Pick a hero focus

    Start with Gyokushin if you want Jade and Dragon Cards, or compare archetypes on the Characters Hub before committing a long run.

  3. 3

    Plan combat resources

    Use Combat Basics to practise motes, Weak Spots, Fury timing, and when to channel leftover cards instead of forcing bad spends.

  4. 4

    Choose fight or charm

    Open Charm vs Fight Yokai when an event offers spirit allies—companions can reshape your deck more than a single rare card.

  5. 5

    Optimise with tools and tiers
