Orc Incremental Beginner Guide
Orc Incremental combines army building, card drafting, formation management, and permanent progression. Early progress is fastest when you strengthen a balanced army, spend gold on upgrades that immediately improve your current push, and reorganize the formation whenever enemies begin stopping your frontline.
Recruit Your First Units
Start by filling the available army positions instead of relying on a single powerful unit. A functioning frontline and damage line gives the army enough durability to survive early battles while continuing to deal damage.
Build a complete basic formation before heavily investing in one unit.
Draft Cards That Improve Your Current Army
Card drafts provide additional ways to strengthen the run. Prioritize cards that reinforce units and mechanics already contributing to your formation instead of spreading bonuses across strategies you are not currently using.
Choose immediate army synergy over unfocused upgrades.
Arrange the Formation
Place durable units where they can absorb enemy pressure and protect more fragile damage or support units. Formation changes become increasingly important as enemy damage rises and individual units begin dying before they can contribute.
Keep durable units exposed and vulnerable units protected.
Farm Gold and Buy Upgrades
Battle progression provides gold that can be reinvested into army strength. Spend early gold on upgrades that help the entire current push rather than saving excessively while your army remains stuck.
Use gold to remove the next progression bottleneck.
Push New Battle Levels
Continue advancing while the army is defeating enemies consistently. Higher battle levels are the main test of whether your current units, card choices, upgrades, and formation remain strong enough.
Push until progress slows instead of farming weak stages longer than necessary.
Change the Army When Progress Stalls
When a battle repeatedly stops the run, first adjust unit positions and army roles before relying only on additional grinding. Adding more durability, protecting key damage dealers, or incorporating support can turn a stalled army into a successful push.
Formation first, upgrades second, major composition changes third.
Prepare for Dark Rebirth
Once normal upgrades produce increasingly small improvements and reaching new levels becomes slow, transition toward the Dark Rebirth progression loop. Permanent progression from rebirth is used to make the next run stronger and faster.
Rebirth after the current run reaches a clear progression wall.
Quick Tips
- A balanced frontline and damage line beats one overleveled unit in almost every early battle.
- Card drafts that reinforce the strategy you are already running outvalue unfocused bonuses.
- Reposition units as soon as enemies start killing your frontline before the fight ends.
- Rebirth when upgrades stop moving you forward, then rebuild faster with permanent progression.
Orc Incremental Units Tier List
The strongest army is not simply a collection of damage dealers. Orc Incremental rewards formations that combine durable frontline units with attackers and utility units, so unit value depends heavily on the job each unit performs inside the formation.
Top Priority
Dragon
High-impact damage unit- Strong offensive contribution
- Excellent value in advanced armies
- Useful for breaking difficult progression walls
Best for: Late-run damage and high-level pushing
Juggernaut
Frontline tank- High frontline value
- Protects vulnerable attackers
- Improves formation stability in difficult battles
Best for: Holding the frontline during harder pushes
Strong Picks
Shaman
Support- Adds utility to established formations
- Supports stronger core units
- Becomes increasingly useful as army size and unit synergy matter more
Best for: Balanced mid- and late-game formations
Assassin
Damage dealer- Strong offensive specialization
- Useful when the frontline already provides enough protection
- Helps formations focus more heavily on damage
Best for: Damage-focused formations
Situational
Troll
Durable fighter- Useful combination of survivability and combat presence
- Fits naturally into frontline-heavy armies
- Reliable during general progression
Best for: Early- and mid-game frontline reinforcement
Warg Raider
Mobile attacker- Adds another offensive option to the army
- Works well when supported by sturdy frontline units
- Useful for expanding a basic formation into a more specialized army
Best for: General progression and offensive formations
Orc Incremental Best Builds and Formations
Formation strength depends on both unit selection and positioning. Durable units should absorb the first wave of enemy pressure while damage and support units remain protected long enough to contribute, and the army should be reorganized whenever one role becomes the clear bottleneck.
Use Juggernaut and Troll as the durable core, keep Assassin protected as a dedicated damage source, and position Shaman where its support role can remain active.
Use when: Use this setup when pushing normal battle levels and you need both survivability and steady damage.
Build the formation around keeping Dragon active for as long as possible. Juggernaut takes frontline pressure while Shaman fills the supporting role behind the main combat units.
Use when: Use when the army survives long enough but lacks the damage needed to finish stronger enemies.
Increase the amount of durable frontline presence and protect the support position. Once survival is stable, use remaining army slots for stronger damage units.
Use when: Use when attackers or support units are dying too early for the formation to function.
Use one dependable defensive anchor and dedicate more of the remaining formation to offensive units. Keep the strongest damage sources away from the most exposed positions.
Use when: Use when survivability is already comfortable and faster damage provides more progression than additional defense.
Replace an unnecessary attacker with additional durability or support, then rearrange positions so the units dying first are no longer taking the initial pressure.
Use when: Use after repeatedly failing the same battle level despite purchasing additional upgrades.
Orc Incremental Dark Rebirth Guide
Dark Rebirth is Orc Incremental's long-term progression system. Instead of endlessly forcing a stalled run forward, players eventually restart the repeatable battle progression while keeping the permanent benefits tied to rebirth, allowing later runs to rebuild faster and reach stronger content.
Push the Current Run
Continue recruiting units, drafting cards, purchasing upgrades, and clearing battle levels until additional progress becomes increasingly slow.
Reach a meaningful progression wall before ending the run.
Finish Important Run Upgrades
Use the remaining gold and available run resources to test whether another meaningful push is possible before resetting.
Avoid rebirthing while inexpensive upgrades can still produce rapid progress.
Activate Dark Rebirth
Dark Rebirth restarts the repeatable run progression and converts the completed run into long-term progression.
Trade temporary run progress for stronger future runs.
Use Permanent Rebirth Progress
Apply the permanent benefits obtained through the rebirth system to strengthen the next cycle and improve the speed at which earlier progression can be cleared.
Prioritize permanent improvements that accelerate rebuilding and help overcome the previous wall.
Rebuild the Army
Recruit units again, draft useful cards, rebuild the formation, and purchase upgrades using the stronger baseline created by Dark Rebirth.
Clear previously completed progression substantially faster.
Push Beyond the Previous Run
Use the stronger rebirth-powered army to reach battle levels that stopped the previous cycle and continue into newly accessible progression.
Set a new highest progression point before the next rebirth.
Repeat at the Next Major Wall
Continue alternating between battle progression and Dark Rebirth as each run becomes slower near its current limit.
Rebirth when permanent progression provides more value than extended grinding in the current run.
Orc Incremental Chieftains and Bloodlines
Chieftains provide persistent strategic bonuses that can change which units, formations, and upgrades are most effective. Their bloodline effects and Martyrdom rewards make Chieftain selection an important part of planning each new progression cycle.
Chieftain Bloodlines
Bloodlines provide Chieftain-specific bonuses that influence army development and help define the direction of a build.
Best use: Choose a bloodline whose bonuses support the units and scaling strategy you intend to use during the current progression cycle.
Battlefield Abilities
Chieftain battlefield abilities provide additional combat effects alongside the normal army formation.
Best use: Build the formation around the Chieftain effect instead of treating the ability as an isolated bonus.
Martyrdom Bonuses
Martyrdom converts Chieftain progression into bonuses that remain relevant after advancing into another progression cycle.
Best use: Use Martyrdom when the permanent gain is more valuable than continuing to push the current run.
Damage-Focused Chieftain Setup
Prioritizes Chieftain effects that improve offensive scaling and help damage-oriented units clear battles faster.
Best use: Use when your frontline survives comfortably but battles are taking too long to finish.
Survival-Focused Chieftain Setup
Prioritizes durability and army stability so damage dealers remain active longer during difficult encounters.
Best use: Use when your formation is being defeated before its damage can scale through the fight.
Progression-Focused Chieftain Setup
Combines Chieftain bonuses with economy, upgrades, and army scaling to improve overall progression efficiency.
Best use: Use during longer progression runs where consistent growth is more important than maximizing one battle.
Orc Incremental Totems and Upgrade Priorities
Totems and upgrades provide passive bonuses that become increasingly important as battle requirements rise. The strongest upgrade order depends on whether the current bottleneck is gold income, army damage, frontline durability, or the performance of a specific unit composition.
| Upgrade | Effect | Early Game | Mid Game | Late Game | Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gold and Economy Upgrades | Increase the resources available for recruiting units and purchasing additional progression upgrades. | High priority | Medium to high priority | Situational | Invest early when additional income quickly unlocks multiple army improvements. |
| Army Damage Upgrades | Increase offensive output and help the army defeat enemies before prolonged fights overwhelm the formation. | High priority | High priority | High priority | Prioritize when survival is stable but battle completion speed has become the main progression limit. |
| Army Health Upgrades | Increase durability and allow frontline units to protect damage dealers for longer. | Medium priority | High priority | High priority | Increase health when frontline units collapse before the rest of the army can deal enough damage. |
| Unit-Specific Upgrades | Strengthen particular army units and improve the value of specialized formations. | Situational | High priority | High priority | Concentrate investment on units that remain central to the current army instead of spreading resources evenly. |
| Totem Bonuses | Provide passive scaling effects that can support damage, durability, economy, or specific army strategies. | Medium priority | High priority | Very high priority | Combine Totem effects with Chieftain bonuses and unit roles so multiple bonuses reinforce the same build. |
Orc Incremental Combat Spells
Spells give the player direct influence over difficult battles. Timing matters: control effects are strongest when they prevent dangerous enemies from reaching the formation, while damage spells are most valuable when they remove an important target or finish a close encounter.
Orc Incremental Bosses and Trials Strategy
Bosses and Trials test whether an army is properly built rather than simply larger. When progression stops, identify whether damage, durability, positioning, economy, or spell timing is the limiting factor and change that part of the build before repeating the challenge.
| Challenge | Main Test | Preparation | Recommended Adjustment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boss Battle | Single-fight army strength | Upgrade the core units in the active formation and make sure frontline durability and damage output are balanced. | Move durable units forward, protect high-damage units, and save combat spells for the most dangerous part of the encounter. |
| Damage Check | Offensive scaling | Invest in damage upgrades and units that contribute the most consistent battlefield damage. | Reduce investment in unnecessary defensive units if the formation already survives until the end of the fight. |
| Survival Check | Frontline durability | Increase health and defensive scaling before spending additional resources on damage. | Place durable units where they can absorb pressure and keep fragile damage dealers protected. |
| Formation Trial | Army composition and positioning | Review which units are contributing and remove units that do not support the current strategy. | Rearrange the formation so tanks, damage dealers, and utility units can perform their intended roles. |
| Spell-Dependent Fight | Combat spell timing | Enter the battle with a clear plan for Blizzard, Fireball, and other available combat support. | Use Blizzard to create additional attack time and Fireball when immediate damage can remove a priority threat or finish the fight. |
| Progression Wall | Overall scaling | Improve economy, Totems, Chieftain bonuses, unit upgrades, and permanent progression before attempting the same challenge again. | If formation changes cannot solve the fight, return to progression systems that provide broader army scaling. |
