-Before you start trying to solo missions or go for high tier loot, I suggest you grind some lower tier missions until you get good at dodging and other game mechanics.
+Before you start trying to solo missions or go for high tier loot, I suggest you grind some lower tier missions until you get good at dodging and other game mechanics.\\
+=====General Tips======
+----
+===Knowledge is Power (Usually)===
+Get to know the missions you will encounter. A good way is to keep checking the chat (Bottom Left Corner of your screen) to see what missions are being run/hosted by more experienced players.
-**Home**
+===Don't Get Hit (Or Try Not To)===
+Practise dodging the mobs and get used to their movement patterns. Running a mission until you can do it casually is good practise for increasing proficiency. For Example, The Hopper Queen [[starbreak:fire_forest|The Fire Forest Midboss]] is good for practising dodging since it shoots many projectiles, same with the Midboss in [[starbreak:frozen_blight|Frozen Blight.]]

+===Check your Dps (Damage per Second)===
+Check your damage on the training dummy on Eschaton Station (The Lobby) and get to know the [[starbreak:modifiers|different modifiers]] This ensures you know what you are capable of killing by yourself so you can beat missions more efficiently.
-Your home contains a couple of really important features inside of it, and can be accessed by either pressing "H", or by moving to the open pod to the left of the spawn in Eschaton and pressing "A".
+===Study the Missions (And Enemies you will Encounter)===
+*This is very important*
+Memorise enemy movement and attack patterns so you can dodge better. It also helps to learn which mobs have more hp than others and which drop chests so you can time movements better.
+[[starbreak:zones_hub|You can learn more about zones and enemies here]]
-Inside your home are multiple pods which contain shells. Once you've satisfied the requirement and unlocked them, upon death, you can respawn as one of these new shells. Each shell comes with its own unique playstyle and gear.
+===Learn to Aim (Tilt Attacks)===
+Like other platforming games, Starbreak has a game mechanic allowing the player to essentially di (directional input) or "aim" attacks. It is simple to do this, just press a movement key while attacking and the attack will go in the chosen direction. You can also tilt your secondary and special attacks so get used to the different directions they go.
-Second is your stash. Currently this can hold up to six items. What's important about your stash is that items placed inside it **do not** disappear upon a player's death. While the stash is open, you can hover over items in your inventory and press "D" to stash them, or equip items from within your stash by pressing "Shift+A." Alternatively, if you want to just take items out, simply press "A" on them.
+===The Spacebar (Jumping)===
+This might be really obvious for some of you but I know some others out there don't know this. \\
+**THE SPACEBAR IS PRESSURE SENSITIVE, PRESS LONGER TO JUMP MORE/PRESS QUICKER TO JUMP LESS**
+----
-==== Your First Zone: Fire Forest! ====
+\\
-Now that you've got the grasp of pretty much everything Eschaton has to offer, you're ready to start your first zone! The zone intended for new shells is called Fire Forest and can be found directly to the left of Eschaton's spawn point.
+=====Class Tricks and Tips=====
+Each class has its own individual stats and items it can use. Choose the one that gives you the most enjoyment or utility and keep playing to get better!

+----
-Make sure to read up on all of [[starbreak:fire_forest|Fire Forest's Enemies]] so you have a good idea of what you're going up against before proceeding through the zone.
-Usually there will already be several people within the zone, so your best bet is to follow behind them and take out enemies as you can. Make sure to not rush to the front of the pack because as a new shell you're susceptible to a lot more damage than players who already have significantly higher armor stats!
-While exploring, you'll likely come across several things on the way to the mid-boss. The first and most important are chests.
-{{starbreak:i_imgur_com:bh3aexg.png}}
-These can contain gear, EC, and health. The gear that drops isn't always for your character, but if you plan on playing a different shell then be sure to save it in your stash for later.
-The second thing you'll come across are stat boosts.
-{{starbreak:i_imgur_com:lrdltab.png}}
-Lastly, you'll come across ammo pouches. These simply replenish one ammo to your supply. About half way through the zone, you'll encounter your first real challenge.
-**Mid-Boss:** **[[starbreak:hopper_queen|Hopper Queen]]**
-{{starbreak:i_imgur_com:qcpeies.png}}
-The hopper queen is a fairly easy mid-boss to tackle, especially with multiple people. The only thing you have to watch out for are her fire bullets she fires upwards. Once she fires these, they split apart into smaller fireballs. As long as you move out of the way, these will be easy to dodge because of how slow they fall.
-Once she dies, she'll always drop a chest which has better gear than average chests within zones. After gathering your spoils, head on through the door. The rest of the zone will be pretty similar to what you've already done. However, after a few more rooms you're going to come across a door like this:
-{{starbreak:i_imgur_com:1l8xpll.png}}
-**Stop and read what's below!**
-Doors that are significantly larger than the doors you've come across before indicate a boss in the next room. Make sure you are well stocked on health because this can be a difficult fight for newer players. Additionally, make sure you are **not** the only person going into the room. Unless you are extremely confident in your skills, it's unlikely you will be able to solo this boss.
-**Boss:** **[[starbreak:lobster|Leaping Lobster]]**
-{{starbreak:i_imgur_com:4aqacep.png}}
-Before you head inside, I suggest you check out [[starbreak:ratburntro44s_guide_surviving_fire_forest_boss_noob_wildfire|Ratburntro44's Guide to Surviving Fire Forest Boss as a Noob Wildfire]].
-Bosses are significantly stronger than any enemies, including the mid-boss, within the zone. In addition, all exits are blocked. For this reason, in later zones you will usually see players teleport out of the zone once they come to the boss door. This is because bosses in later zones make it nearly impossible to zone out once you've entered the room.
-Following Ratburntro44's guide, if you were well-stocked on health and had some people to assist in dealing damage to the boss, the fight shouldn't take too long to end.
-After a boss fight ends, they also drop their own chest. There are several items unique only to boss chests. Some of these include: gear, keys, implant slots, and implants. After the boss, you likely gathered a lot of cool new gear and some keys as well.
-==== Keys and Star Cathedral ====
-Now that you've beaten the Leaping Lobster, you can exit out of the zone from the right side of the map. This portal will take you back to Eschaton's starting point.
-If you hit open your inventory and move the selection over to the bottom right, you'll notice that you now have some keys. Keys are used to open more difficult zone for everyone in Eschaton. Portals that need a key to be opened have a dull picture in the center, while portals that are already open are more vivid.
-However, keys also serve a secondary purpose. To the right of the spawn is a massive monument with several pedestals on it. Each of these pedestals represents a unique key. After enough keys have been deposited (indicated once you are standing on the respective pedestal), a new and extremely difficult zone will open called "Star Cathedral."
-Star Cathedral is an extremely difficult zone intended for experienced players. This is the only zone where Tier 5 boosts currently drop, which are intended for players who have already maxed out their boosts up to Tier 4.
-==== Final Notes and Next Steps ====
-Hopefully you've gained a clearer picture of what StarBreak is all about and are ready to get into the thick of the game, which really starts with Tier 2 zones.
-For your next zone, I recommend proceeding into Vanquished. This zone I've found to be a lot easier than Fungus Cave, and usually has a good amount of people running it as well. The same principles in Fire Forest apply to the rest of the zones, so use that knowledge to your advantage.
-You will likely die quite a bit on your way through the dungeons and lose a lot of good gear, so don't forget to stock up your stash and get back out to try again! Once you're feeling more experienced in the game, you can even skip to the elite dungeons to build back up instead of regular dungeons as well.
-That's all I have for this guide though, hopefully I'll see you guys in game!
+====Wildfire====
+The [[starbreak:wildfire|Wildfire]] is the default starting class and relies on gunpower to quickly kill enemies often clearing clumps of enemies using different methods.
+===You CAN Move while Shooting!!!===
+To move while shooting on a wildfire, just jump while holding your movement keys. (Usually arrow keys but some may use WASD) This is essential for playing as a wildfire since letting your guard down for a single frame might be your downfall.
+===Blast Techniques===
+As a wildfire, your special that is unique to your class is called a [[https://ee.wrya.net/wiki/starbreak:wildfire_equipment?s[]=blast#blast|Blast]] \\
+This pushes your character to the opposite direction as well as shooting aoe (Area of Effect) damage to enemies that come into contact with it. You can use this to move faster by shooting it in the opposite direction while you run. This takes practise but is definitely worth it. As well, your blast can also function as a damage dealing device in some circumstances since it is spammable if you angle it right. For example, a [[https://ee.wrya.net/wiki/starbreak:wildfire_equipment?s[]=blast#scattered_blast|scattered blast]] can do a scary amount of damage if used by an experienced wildfire.
