Welcome to Incremental Cubes!

This game is best played on a second monitor or while playing Oldschool Runescape (Shoutout to my bois).

Incremental Cubes is a game about getting alot of cubes, in increments if you will.

There are a few mechanics that you should know about, and we will be explaining here shortly.

For starters press that Attack button 10 times as your cube takes its rightful spot on the screen to unlock the next area. This will give you a few skill points for later and allow you to proceed to the next area.

Press the Next button to proceed and turn your attention to the Tick Speed button. If you have already used this, great, but if not here is the info: this allows you to generate cubes faster! Go ahead and upgrade your white cubes after gathering some using the Collect button.

From here you can upgrade your White Cube Tick Speed to 0.1 seconds (10 cubes a second) and/or point your attention to Blue Cubes.

These bad boys are great, as they apply a multiplicative bonus as your cubes generate (good thing to note as all the colour cubes you get do as well). These will allow you to grow much faster.

Start to focus on progressing to later phases for a little bit upgrading tick speed as you go.

One of your main focuses early on should be on maximizing your prestiges. The skill prestige tree (best viewed in 2D mode, tho the 3D mode is great devs!) works so that you can unlock any pips that are touching one you have unlocked (the lines connect them). You select the pips and press the prestige button to prestige. You wont reset until you press that butto.

Getting Tier 1 complete is a VITAL step in progression.

Your first two prestige points need to go to Auto Collect and Auto Attack respectively. These are vital to the idle playstyle this game promotes and really helps with grinding.

The full Tier 1 tree consists of 136 skills points and it is imperitive that you grind that out as you will get bonuses and the final tier for the Power Cubes system. This gives you unlockable upgrades based off of the generated cubes for each prestige you make.

This is accurate as of 12/7/2021. If it changes I will edit it and post that under this.

I would like to thank @Primalmoon for their contributions to this segment.

Other Prestige tips:

1. Not as vital, but you can reselect your prestige skills at any time by going into the menu, unselecting the ones you didn't like. You will be completely refunded your skill points, and can use those for purchasing different abilities.
   
2. I'm not sure if it is intentional or a bug, but at least at the moment there is no requirement that all of your prestige skills be connected together. If there is a particular ability you want and you can afford to build a chain to it but don't like the abilities you had to select to get to it... Go ahead and build the chain, select the ability you want, and then deselect the intermediate nodes.

You can use this to skip to good prestige pips and skip the less useful ones. Thanks again for the share Primalmoon!

So when you clear Phase 10 for the first time, you unlock Challenges. Challenges are the easy way to earn bulk skill points. They are also accompanied (most of the time) with setbacks to make the challenge, well, a challenge. The challenges currently are lined out as follows:


Currently as it stands, Just Kill is only good to clear before getting too far into the game, or after undoing all of your skills and doing insane microing.

Robot Challenge is good for points farming. 100k per clear is great. I have a guide detailing a setup for it. Only good after getting magician though.

Titanium Cube is good to do. Worth the timesink.

By and large, the best way to grind for skill points is farming the Robot Challenge. It supplies 100k points and is the fastest way to get through tiers 3 and 4 in quick order.

This requires a few things to make it work, and i would leave the game on to achieve these two points before grinding using this method:

Samurai Helper level 200-250.
Magician Helper level 200.
Max Damage so far = at least 10 Qi.

The steps of the grind are as follows.

1. Start the Challenge
2. Equip Magician Helper
3. AFK farm up to 1 Billion cubes.
4. Upgrade Samurai 1 time. Equip Samurai.
5. AFK until Phase 10 is complete.
6. Spec your points
7. Repeat steps 1-6 as many times as you want.

This is the most time efficient method as far as I can tell.
