"heading": "1. The Foundation: Three Golden Habits",
"content": [
{
"habit": "Golden Habit 1: The \"Snap-Aim\" and Release",
"description": "In *Spear Warzone*, successful players spend less than 0.5 seconds aiming. This habit is about moving your mouse (or finger) to the target, adjusting the angle *as you drag*, and releasing immediately upon target lock.",
"why_it_is_critical": "The game's difficulty scales rapidly with **time on stage**, not just waves. Wasted aiming time allows the enemy density to increase, creating inescapable attack patterns. Speed is survival."
},
{
"habit": "Golden Habit 2: Prioritize the Threat Vector",
"description": "Do not simply target the closest enemy. This habit is about analyzing the **Threat Vector**, which is the enemy whose attack will reach your stickman earliest. The hierarchy is almost always: **Javelin/Magician (highest damage/crowd control) > Archer (fast projectile) > Swordsman (melee, low immediate threat)**.",
"why_it_is_critical": "This ensures you neutralize the highest immediate risk, minimizing damage taken and maximizing the *uptime* on your health bar, which translates directly into fewer expensive healing purchases."
},
{
"habit": "Golden Habit 3: The \"Gold-First\" Economy",
"description": "Treat every coin drop not as a currency, but as an **investment opportunity**. This habit is about focusing on the **Spear Damage Upgrade** *before* any cosmetic or defensive gear.",
"why_it_is_critical": "The scoring engine is based on rapid enemy elimination. Each damage upgrade directly reduces the number of throws required to kill stronger enemies (e.g., turning a 3-throw kill into a 2-throw kill). This is the single most effective way to increase your enemy-per-minute (EPM) rate and maintain control over the escalating enemy waves."

{
"heading": "2. Elite Tactics: Mastering the Scoring Engine",
"content": [
{
"tactic": "Advanced Tactic: The \"Double-Tap Doctrine\"",
"principle": "This tactic is about manipulating the spear's travel time and the enemy's spawn rate to achieve two distinct kills with minimal delay, effectively creating a 2x time multiplier on your throws. It is the fundamental way to increase your EPM.",
"execution": "First, you need to identify an enemy on the far side of the screen. Launch the spear at that target. **Crucially**, while the first spear is still traveling, you must immediately *prepare* the next throw by dragging the aim for a newly spawned or closer enemy. The goal is for the *second* spear to be launched within 0.2 seconds of the *first* spear making impact. This rhythm keeps the screen clear and prevents enemy clustering."
},
{
"tactic": "Advanced Tactic: The \"Resource Gambit\"",
"principle": "This involves deliberately taking small amounts of damage early in a run to delay non-critical healing purchases, ensuring all initial gold is funneled into the **Spear Damage** stat. The goal is to maximize the *Gold-to-Damage Conversion Rate* during the most critical early phase of the game.",
"execution": "Resist the urge to heal until your health is below 50%. A costly early heal (often 100+ coins) is a massive opportunity cost. That 100 coins could be two-thirds of the way to your next damage upgrade. Every time you delay a heal, you are banking gold that will be immediately converted into a permanent, score-accelerating damage buff. You are sacrificing a small health buffer for a massive, permanent increase in clearing speed."
}
]
},
{
"heading": "3. The Pro Secret: A Counter-Intuitive Edge",
"content": [
{
"description": "Most players think that **perfect aiming and dodging** is the best way to play. They are wrong. The true secret to breaking the 500k score barrier is to do the opposite: **Embrace the \"Controlled Miss\" to set up positional advantage.**",
"explanation": "Here's why this works: The enemy AI is programmed to advance and attack based on two factors: proximity and line-of-sight. By intentionally aiming a throw *just a hair* above or below a non-critical enemy, you can force that enemy to halt, slightly reposition, or trigger a slower attack animation. This momentary manipulation creates a gap in the enemy line. This is invaluable when facing a cluster of enemies, as it allows you to hit the high-priority target (like the Magician) by clearing the line of sight for your next, critical throw. The coin loss from the missed kill is negligible compared to the tactical advantage gained by controlling the enemy cluster's movement and attack timing. It is a sacrifice of immediate score for overwhelming tactical dominance."
