Stage-by-Stage Guide
Understanding when to level, roll, and transition is crucial for maximizing your success with Meeple / Bastion. This guide breaks down the optimal play pattern for each stage of the game.
Focus on building economy while collecting Veigar and Gnar and Fizz and Poppy and Meepsie copies. Play your strongest board with any 2-star units you hit naturally. Look for Poppy and Veigar as early game frontline. Aim to have 30-40 gold by the Stage 2 carousel.
Stage 3 is your key decision point. If you've collected 5+ copies of Veigar by Stage 3-2, commit to the reroll strategy. Level to 5 at Stage 3-2 and begin slow rolling. At level 5, 1-cost units have the highest appearance rate.
By Stage 4, you should be close to or have already hit your 3-star Veigar. Once you 3-star your primary carry, stop rolling and begin leveling. If resources allow, continue rolling for 3-star Gnar and Fizz and Poppy and Meepsie. Transition to leveling at Stage 4-5 or 5-1.
Your 3-star carry should be online and dealing massive damage. Focus on adding your remaining high-cost units and finding optimal positioning against the remaining players. If you find Bard, add them for extra power. Scout remaining players and position to counter their carries.
This is a high economy investment that requires disciplined gold management during your reroll phase. Slow roll above 50 gold until you hit your 3-star targets.
