Everything is Crab Guide

Start here when you want the broad guide answer: what to pick first, which build route fits the run, and which detail page should solve the next problem.

Start with the run problem

Most failed runs are not missing a rare card. They are missing safe food, a movement answer, a mistake buffer, or one focused damage plan.
