Experience (XP)[edit]
Experience (XP) is a progression stat that increases your account level.
Unlike Coins, Bits, or Gems, XP is generally not spent in normal progression systems. Its main purpose is level progression and unlocking Prestige eligibility.
What XP Is Used For[edit]
Primary use:
- Increase account level
Major progression breakpoint:
- Reach the required level to unlock Prestige (Level 100)
After prestiging:
- Your XP resets and you level again for future prestige cycles.
How You Gain XP[edit]
XP is earned from:
- Enemy kills during runs
- Milestone rewards
- Experience Worker (active + idle)
- Cup/Tier XP multipliers
- XP-related run multipliers (like executables/processes)
XP Scaling[edit]
XP gain is affected by:
- Cup experience multiplier
- Tier context
- Experience executables
- Experience gain process modifiers
- Worker contribution
So higher-difficulty progression and stronger setups increase XP/hour significantly.
XP and Prestige[edit]
Prestige is gated by XP level:
- You must reach the minimum required level (100) to prestige.
- Prestige reward (Prestige Points) scales from high-level XP progression.
- Prestiging resets XP to early level progression again.
This makes XP a core loop driver for long-term account growth.
XP Is Not a Regular Spend Resource[edit]
Important clarification:
- XP does not function like a shop currency for upgrades/downloads.
- You mainly accumulate XP to level up and unlock/scale prestige progression.
Practical XP Strategy[edit]
- Keep XP income steady with Experience Worker.
- Push higher Cups/Tiers for better XP multipliers.
- Use milestones and run scaling to accelerate level growth.
- Time prestige around strong XP/level breakpoints.
Quick Summary[edit]
XP is your level progression stat, not your day-to-day spending currency. Its biggest value is enabling and scaling the Prestige loop.
