Monster Train 2 beginner guide

A run is two clans and a train of floors. Steam's category list does not include multiplayer.

The wiki's card page describes the opening deck as the champion, five copies of each clan's starter card, two Shield Stewards, and two Spear Stewards. I am using that sentence as the onboarding fact, because the store page does not spell the deck out. You pick a primary clan and an allied clan. Each clan has two champions, and the alternate champion is the one the wiki says unlocks at clan level 5.

Champions upgrade at the Light Forge. The wiki gives every champion three paths and three levels on each path. I do not tell a new player which path is 'correct.' I tell them the path text is on the champion page and the first two Covenant ranks are the ones open at the start. The wiki's Covenant page says only ranks 0 and 1 are available until you win. Higher ranks add the modifiers on the Covenant page.

People ask where the high score lives. I could not find a wiki sentence that names the menu, so I am not inventing a button. The daily challenge is the closest named board, and I will add a path only when a screenshot or a video shows it. Multiplayer is the clearer question: Monster Train 2's Steam categories do not list multiplayer, while Monster Train 1's page does. I answer 'not on the Steam build I checked.'

For a first run I would stay on Covenant 0, read the pyre heart before I lock it, and ignore equipment until I understand capacity. That is a pacing suggestion. The steward counts above are the part that comes from the wiki.
