How to Unlock and Use Imelda Belpaese

Short answer: buy Imelda with coins, with no achievement required

Imelda Belpaese is an early character who can be bought without completing an achievement. Character prices scale as more characters are purchased, so use the amount shown in your game instead of relying on one fixed price.

Why Imelda works well for beginners

Magic Wand targets the nearest enemy automatically. You can focus on moving and collecting experience instead of aiming every attack.

Imelda gains +10% Growth every five levels, up to +30%. Faster experience gain makes it easier to assemble a build and practice early unlock objectives.

First-run plan

1. Buy Imelda from Character Selection.
2. Upgrade Magic Wand while moving toward thinner enemy groups.
3. Add a close-range or multi-direction weapon.
4. Take Empty Tome if you plan to evolve Magic Wand.

Common mistakes

• The coin price is not permanently fixed; read the current selection screen.
• The +30% Growth is gained in steps rather than applied all at once.
• Automatic targeting does not replace area coverage when enemies surround you.
