Obsidian Knight Returning Player Update Checklist

Check current features before buying or upgrading anything

Recent official update histories describe new Challenges, Hunt rewards, daily-shop equipment, skill-card settings, Clan management, achievement synchronization, and stat changes. Do not resume an old route blindly; first review the systems now visible on your account.

Before buying equipment or spending permanent resources, record the current version and your account state. Testing one change at a time makes it easier to separate current behavior from an outdated guide.

Record these seven items first

This becomes the baseline for judging whether later changes actually help.

Returning-player checklist

1. Update the app from the current store page.
2. Check Challenge and The Hunt for new targets.
3. Review equipment sets in the daily shop.
4. Open the pre-battle screen and check unwanted-card settings.
5. If you belong to a Clan, review the leader and member list.
6. On Android, confirm Google Play Games achievement synchronization.
7. Recheck the current Armor, maximum health, and Potion values.

Split the return into three stages

Before the first run

1. Check the current store version and update date.
2. Capture the equipment, Skill Cards, and resource balances now shown.
3. Look for new entries in Challenge, The Hunt, Dungeon, and Clan.
4. Postpone large purchases and permanent upgrades.

First run back

1. Play once with the equipment and Skill Cards you used before leaving.
2. Record the first stopping point and failure reason.
3. Separate Potion failure, low damage, boss failure, and unstable card selection.
4. Use current screens rather than values copied from an old guide.

After the run

1. Choose one system related to the observed failure.
2. Decide whether the next change belongs to Skill Cards, equipment, or permanent progression.
3. Change one item and retry the same place three times.
4. Compare progression, survival, and enemy-wave clearing.

Important changes and where to look

Choose the next check by symptom

Older screenshots and tier lists may contain values from before the official Armor, maximum-health, and Potion increases. Use the current in-game values instead of treating an older number as today's optimum.

Check the publication date and current screen before following a guide that:

• assumes manual movement or dodge controls
• does not state a version, update date, or checked screen
• declares one fixed best item or required Power value
• omits modes or upgrade systems currently visible in the game
• provides numbers without identifying the game version

Postpone these actions

• Buying equipment only because an old tier list ranks it highly
• Spending all permanent resources at once
• Disabling several Skill Cards before comparing their roles
• Repurchasing an item while account progress is still missing

Use the first run as a baseline, then change only one factor tied to the current failure.
