Speed Optimization

When to Upgrade Speed

Speed upgrades should be prioritized at different stages of the game:

  • Early Game: Focus heavily on speed to reach your first rebirth milestone (50 speed)
  • Mid Game: Balance speed upgrades with brainrot upgrades - don't neglect either
  • Late Game: Invest heavily in speed to reach Secret Zone (220+ speed required)

Speed Upgrade Strategy

Optimal Upgrade Path

  1. Start with +1 speed upgrades (cheap and efficient early on)
  2. Switch to +5 speed when +1 becomes too expensive
  3. Use +10 speed for large jumps when you have good income
  4. Always check if you can afford the next rebirth milestone before overspending

Speed vs Income Balance

Finding the right balance between speed and income is crucial:

  • Too much speed, not enough income: You can reach zones but can't afford upgrades
  • Too much income, not enough speed: You have money but can't reach better brainrots
  • Optimal: Enough speed to reach your target zone, then focus on income

Speed Milestones

  • 50 Speed: First rebirth milestonePriority: High
  • 100 Speed: Second rebirth milestonePriority: High
  • 150 Speed: Third rebirth milestonePriority: High
  • 220+ Speed: Secret Zone accessPriority: Endgame

Pro Tips

  • Use the Zone Access Calculator to determine required speed before attempting new zones
  • After rebirth, speed resets but multipliers make upgrades faster - take advantage of this
  • Don't overspend on speed if you're close to a rebirth milestone
  • Higher speed allows you to cross longer gaps between safe zones
  • Consider using Coils (especially Rainbow Coil) to boost speed temporarily
