About the Field Guide

Guildrun Field Guide is an independent wiki covering the Demo 0.5.1 dataset. It helps players move from the opening draft to a stable formation by combining practical handbooks with searchable records for heroes, items, relics, enemies, stages, and events.

Strategy pages emphasize decision frameworks—role coverage, targeting, economy, and rank order—rather than fixed tier lists. Database pages keep exact values, effects, and route connections so you can compare a shop offer or failed fight with the recorded Demo version.

Start with the beginner guide, then the strategy guide, or open the player handbook. Compare the full hero roster, then use the Wiki and World directories when you need a specific record. Use site search to jump straight to a name, or visit the release status page for current availability and development plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Guildrun?

Guildrun is a single-player PvE roguelike autobattler from Leyline. You recruit heroes, choose items and relics, set formation and specializations, then let combat resolve automatically while you plan the next shop and route decision.

Can I save a Guildrun run and continue later?

Yes. The current Demo supports mid-run saves, so you can leave an unfinished run and continue it in another session.

Which game version do these guides cover?

Gameplay advice, databases, and featured guides on this homepage are maintained against Guildrun Demo 0.5.1. Balance-sensitive numbers should be rechecked after later patches.

How should a new player start?

Begin with the beginner guide for the run loop and Shard spending, then read the player handbook for team building, enemies, and positioning. Use the growth route page when you need a clear order for ranks and board size.

Where can I find hero, item, and relic data?

Open the Heroes roster for class, range, ranks, and specializations. Browse the Wiki for items, relics, enemies, status effects, and Rank B hero paths. World pages cover stages, events, crossroads, fight modes, and stat mods.

When is the full Guildrun release date?

The free Demo is available now. Steam currently lists the full game as To be announced. See the release date page for the latest public timeline and FAQ.
