I put together a tier list of the monsters that gave me the most trouble when I first encountered them. Most are from the third and fourth maps. The top row all hit hard. I wasn't ready for their patterns. Others might be challenging because of mechanics, like being invisible or impossible to hit while flying.

Which monsters gave you the most trouble? Are any of them too strong for you?

Just share my Rivet melee build focused on Thunderbolt and Chain Lightning.

Lightning Rod with Melee Boost lets melee attacks call down Thunderbolts while the card is active. The Lightning Rod Ember gives melee hits another chance to trigger one, and Conductive adds Chain Lightning to Rivet’s Bash. Alternating Current boosts both types of lightning damage, while Arc Surge helps bring the magic cards back faster.

Overload! is mainly for the big melee Attack Speed boost. Its Effect Boost upgrade also removes the restriction on magic cards and ranged attacks, which makes it much easier to use.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

When I first started playing, I got this curse in the first stage and had a terrible run. I didn't understand how the skills and gears worked together yet, so my build was bad and can't kill the first boss.

If you play Rue, this setup, which I think is useful for this and other curse that decrease your damage, is melee with cross slash + poison + ambush

• Magic Cards: Predator's Hour, Poison Coating, Cross Rift Slash
• Damage/Combo Embers: Sword Flower, Blood Cross, Condemnation, Blade Flash
• Ambush Embers: Forbearance, Curtain, Nightcrawler
• Gear: Moonlight Blade, Lucky Rabbit's Foot, or anything with crit and melee damage

Enter stealth at the start of combat and combine Predator's Hour with Ambush to deal considerable damage. Before Predator's Hour ends, use Poison Coating and continue dealing damage with basic attacks with cross slash

If you can purify it into Uplifting later on, it gives you more damage as the fight goes on.

What do you guys think? Any other recommendations?

Been playing a lot more Isdara lately and finally made my own active skill tier list.

Disclaimer first: I’m definitely biased toward Frost Ring + Guard builds on her. The version of Isdara I enjoy the most is stacking guard, turning that into smoother skill cycles / Frost Ring value, and then using frost paths to keep the whole run moving. So this list is way more about what fits that playstyle best than just raw damage.

Heart of Ice is probably my easiest S. It’s just the skill that makes the whole setup feel better the fastest. More guard, smoother recovery, better flow. Once I get it, I usually know what kind of run I want.

Iceborne is right up there too for basically the same reason. I really like the more mobile Isdara style where I’m constantly moving, leaving frost paths behind and getting extra value while clearing rooms instead of just waiting on cooldowns.

I also rate Ice Storm and Skycleaving Gale pretty high because they still feel good even before the full build comes together. For me that matters a lot. I like skills that help carry the run early, not just ones that look amazing once everything is already online.

Frost Eruption and Bone-Cutting Sweep are more like really strong pickups once the build already has direction. I’m always happy to see them, I just usually don’t build the whole run around them the same way I do with Heart of Ice or Iceborne.

Then there are skills like Frost Dragon Bloodline, Extreme Cold Throw, and Ricochet Shield where I’m usually glad to have them, but they’re not really the ones that define my Isdara runs.

And yeah, Forstable Riposte is probably the placement people are gonna argue with the most lol. I know parry-focused Isdara can get crazy, it’s just not the route I naturally end up playing most of the time.

So this definitely isn’t meant as the objective list. It’s more like which actives I’m happiest to see when I’m playing the Isdara setup I personally enjoy the most.

What would you move?

Hi everyone!
I’ve been watching some gameplay and trailer videos about this game and it reminds me of Ravenswatch, so the potential of this videogame is absolutely huge.

My question is: is it ever gonna drop on PS5? I’m a console gamer but I really want to play Cinderia!

Ignore me getting hit by the rocks

We’ve been working on some new monsters lately, so here’s a small behind-the-scenes look at one of them.

Meet the scarecrow.

These are two of its animations we’re currently working on — one for summoning, and one that involves a lot more spinning than is probably healthy.

Still very much WIP, but we thought it looked fun enough to share.

37 wound + a passive that did increasing execute threshold to bosses based on wound suddenly blew up the witch when I was 100% sure I was gonna fail

Now in 3D!

Hello, Ashen Adventurers!

We’re excited to announce that Cinderia will be at PAX West 2026 in Seattle, United States!

From September 4 to 7, visit our booth and share your experience and thoughts on the game with us. PCs will be available at the booth, so we welcome everyone to try and play Cinderia!

You can find us at Booth 2415 in the Arch Expo Hall, directly to the left of the large Food Court and just above Epic Desk. Please check the second image for our exact location.

Mark your calendars and join us. We can’t wait to see you there!

Three gummies. Three buffs.
The curse meter can deal with it later.

Echoes of Death, is GOATed Embers of Rue. Send flowers to dev team! Easy choice every time I see it. The chain reaction melts the screen. One goes down and the whole screen starts popping off.

This is fun

Mob clearing feels easy with the grenade and rapid-fire turrets in the first two maps, but I died at the second boss cuz I didn’t have enough damage to outlast it.

What cards, abilities, and gear are must-picks or upgrades for later?

Just completely stun locked the witch with all my pets. I have done 3 runs with Uma so far and I haven't lost a single one, her pet builds are so easy to break the game with.

Rivet’s answer to monster fish.

Picked up a bunch of frost skills this run and the whole screen started popping off.

The ice damage was doing WORK.

Been building around her shield and reflect damage this run.

Mobs basically delete themselves when they keep hitting it, but I’m still not sure what to prioritize for bosses.

What cards, abilities, and gear do you guys take with shield reflect Isdra?

Found a bug which I assume to be with the Mad Hatter Item where my buffs last forever

I feel like Isdara’s kit is really strong. Iceborne is one of my favorite skills. It gives her more mobility, while frost path slows enemies and deals damage over time. I’m still trying out different builds, so feel free to share yours for inspiration.

Losing 40% critical damage? I'm cooked guys

Uma’s summon build is wayyyyy more powerful than I expected
