Starting your DPS Idle 2 Journey

Starting your DPS Idle 2 Journey
When you first start you should be greeted by a layout.
To do any damage to the monster for now you must click on it or hold down the mouse button. Once you kill the monster a yellow right arrow will appear. This will let you move to the next monster. Monsters scale as you progress through a location. The first monster had 10 HP and is worth 4 gold. The second monster has 100 HP and is worth 40 gold. Generally you want to farm the highest monster you can easy kill. In this case your DPS is displayed in the top bar and it shows 1 DPS. It'll take 10 clicks to kill the first monster and 100 clicks to kill the second monster. There is no big difference in this case, but you will probably want to kill the first monster a few times to use the "Buy" on the left side. This unlocks cards which can improve your DPS.
In my case here the cards revealed are Mace and Thief's cape. The cards flipped/revealed are randomly flipped for the Deck you have selected. In this case the Green Chest - Deck1. For this example the cards unlocked the Mace with +4 DPS. Our total DPS went to 5. The Thief's cape is Click Damage x3. This makes our Click DPS 15. When you first start the game Click Damage is your primary DPS type. You'll unlock other DPS Types as the game progresses. Now that we have 15 DPS we can easily kill the first monster so it's time to move the next one. After a few more clicks you should hopefully unlock Earth Damage. Now it's doing damage on it's own.
You should have a stockpile of gold shortly to buy multiple cards you can click the X1 and change it. It will cycle from X1, X3, X10, X99. After you have tried to buy more cards and probably failed you get +1 Berry in this case since the Deck1 Enhancement takes berries. You can click on that Right Enhance button now.
The game generally provides you decent tooltips to explain as you progress at least at the start.
You'll be stuck on Deck1 for some time. You can view Deck2 by clicking on the Yellow Chest. You will see it takes 50T Gold to unlock your first card in it. You can just keep buying cards in Deck1 for the time being. Your goal should be to get all cards revealed in it. At that point the game will let you Upgrade from a Normal quality to a Silver quality card for a certain Shield cost. This makes the card better, but doing this also will reset all other Normal quality cards in your current deck. You will just have to buy them again.
