As with every new idle RPG on its debut, you might feel confused about the gameplay. Hence, a need to write this Lightning Princess Idle RPG guide. Are you new to the game? This gameplay guide will prepare you for a seamless gaming experience.
Lightning Princess Idle RPG Gameplay

A unique thing about Lightning Princess Idle RPG is how the developer constructed its gameplay. Unlike idle RPGs like Nikke: Goddess of Victory, Hero Adventure, and Super Snail, it has no dedicated menu to kickstart the battle part of the game.

Instead, the gameplay takes place on what we will call the home screen and it is about moving around a restrictive map and unleashing different kinds of attacks/skills on your enemies.

Lightning Princess Idle RPG is strategic, based on the character’s movement but winning the battle depends highly on the character, skills, traits, and equipment.

Your first experience with the game would need you to play following the in-game guide. However, a bulk is left unsaid which we talked about in this Lightning Princess idle RPG guide.
Movement in Lightning Princess Idle RPG

Unlike many idle role-playing games, Lightning Princess Idle RPG uses navigational buttons to control the character’s movement. This gives you some freedom as you can strategically avoid or go for an enemy.

You must master the character movement control using the navigational buttons. The developers did not fix the buttons on a selected screen part. As a result, you can play from any position although it can also be frustrating to move the player.

Mastering the character movement is also important because as you move manually you gather energy. You can then release the accumulated energy as energy bursts and destroy your enemies.

Manual energy accumulation and eventual release is another strategic part of Lightning Princess Idle RPG. You can run around the map avoiding enemies’ attacks, accumulating energy, and later targeting a large group of enemies or the boss with the energy generated.

The beautiful thing about the gameplay is that your enemies converge on the character, and you can take advantage of that to release your attack in their midst.
Completing Quests in Lightning Princess Idle RPG

Discussing the Lightning Princess Idle RPG quest is a major part gameplay guide. The first thing to know about the game quests is that there will always be quests to embark on. Another thing is that many features in the game are unlocked as you increase your quest level.
Photo: Super Planet
The quest level is located at the upper left corner of the screen and indicates what you need to do before you move to the next level. A quest mission can be related to the skills, equipment, number of enemies defeated, etc. Sometimes, it will indicate what you should do using the hand sign.

Another form of quests are the daily, weekly, and repeat quests. Each one has a list of missions you must complete but unlike the normal game quest, you can only obtain rewards from them.
Ensure you play with your eyes fixed on the game quest so that you can move to the next level and unlock other rewards in the game.
Stages in Lightning Princess Idle RPG

Many players will just continue to fight in Lightning Princess Idle RPG being oblivious to features like stage. You will notice that whenever you battle a horde of enemies, the character zooms off to another part of the map.
Photo: Super Planet
That zooming-off is the process of moving to the next stage in the game. The stage in the game is denoted by the number found on the upper-middle part of the screen. Clicking the number will take you to all the stages present in the game.
Photo: Super Planet
An important thing to note about stages in Lightning Princess Idle RPG is that they are categorized into four: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell (zero to four). You should start with Normal to understand the game and avoid having nightmares.

Passing every major stage in the game comes with rewards, which you can collect individually or with the receive all buttons. Furthermore, each stage has the accuracy rate of that player. A lower accuracy rate means you need to upgrade your character.

You can move to a previously played stage by using the move icon. This is important when trying to amass rewards by defeating less powerful enemies.
You can then move to the most recent stage by clicking on the stage number on the upper middle part of the screen.
Summoning in Lightning Princess Idle RPG

There are four ways to summon equipment in the game with the most popular being using Ruby. However, you can watch some ads to gain a summon and avoid wasting your Ruby currency.
Character Development in Lightning Princess Idle RPG

The game has one character (the princess) and under her, we will talk about the skills, equipment, stat info, traits, and training. This is a critical part of the Lightning Princess Idle RPG gameplay guide as each one is important to successful gameplay.
Skills

Skills are critical in the game as they make the character more powerful and allow you to battle and level up more easily. Consequently, you must pay good attention to your character skills.

You will start with one skill in the game, and as you level up in your quest, you get to unlock other skills. For example, at level 37, you can use the Lightning Charge, Mighty Strike, and Thunderstrike.

Each skill has its basic and special attack and you can level up, breakthrough, and unequip them. Furthermore, you can get information such as the cooldown period that denotes the time during which the princess will not be able to use the skill.

Leveling up the skill will increase the character’s stats and basic and special attacks. Another hidden thing about the skill is that you can switch the special attack of some skills by tapping the green Switch button under the skill.

The Breakthrough equipment feature allows you to increase the skill max level. There are five possible skills you can use at the same time. When you feel that a skill is not adding to your character’s strength you should unequip it and replace it with one that does.
Equipment

As of now, there are three categories of equipment accessible to players in Lightning Princess Idle RPG: Weapon, Armor, and Boot. With new updates, you will get access to more equipment and a better version of already unlocked ones.

Equipment in the game is also grouped based on the level into seven categories: D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. Those in the SSS tier are the most powerful in the game and automatically the rarest. You can also level up and synthesize the equipment.

Each type of equipment has its effect on the character’s stats. The weapon equipment will increase the character’s ATK while the armor and boot will increase her HP. When you level them up, you should see how they affect the HP and ATK.
Traits

In the traits menu is a helix containing every attribute of the character. These include ATK, HP, HP Recovery, Accuracy, Skill Cooldown Reduction, Earth Type Destruction Increase, Water-Type Destruction Increase, etc.

Each trait affects the character’s ability and is unlocked as you progress in the game. You can level up the traits to a maximum of 20 using the level points.
Stat Info

On the top left corner of the screen is the Stats Info which gives information about the character’s ATK, HP, and Offline rewards. There is not much you can do here as the page just gives out current information about the character.
Training

The training mode in Lightning Princess Idle RPG allows you to increase the princess’s ATK, HP, and crit rates. Press the axe icon located at the lower right side of the screen to access the training menu. Training is done using the in-game coins.

Gameplay Tips in Lightning Princess Idle RPG

Lightning Princess will surely come with certain hiccups as you play the game. However, with the tips below you can ensure smooth gameplay:
Use the Auto Features (Auto Hunt and Auto Rage)
Photo: Super Planet
The auto features will give the game control over the basic and special skills and the character’s rage during a battle.
However, it should be carefully done as this will not give you the energy burst generated when you manually control the character. As a result, use only when you are trying to gain rewards or are very busy.
Do not forget to collect daily rewards

You need rewards to upgrade your characters. As a result, you should always keep your eyes out for the daily rewards seen in the Attendance Check and other features.
Time the Rage Attack

Among the five skills you can use is the rage attack represented with a lightning icon. Ensure you time the attack based on the number of enemies to deal maximum damage.
Play more!

It is common to experience defeats when playing the game due to your characters not being essentially equipped. For those who do not like spending their hard-earned money on games.
The better option is to play more. Revisit stages and defeat enemies to gain rewards to upgrade your character. You should also play more so you can level up and unlock certain features in the game.
Use Buffs

When you reach level 50, you will unlock the Buff that increases the number of Exp, Gold, and Lightning Dice you get for a certain period. Ensure you use the buffs as they are an effective way of increasing your rewards in the game.
Constantly update the game

In the game, when you press the padlock icon, you get information on the quest level to reach to unlock the feature.
However, some padlock icons won’t give you any information. These are the upcoming features coming in the game. You should ensure you update the game to get these features when released.
Watch Ads to get free summons and rewards

The game also allows you to earn some rewards by watching some ads. You can then use the rewards to summon new equipment or level up your character. Ads in the game are limited, so might still need to use those diamonds or hard-earned money.
