For early game, focus on a balanced approach. Prioritize unlocking the 'Quick Cyloop' for faster puzzle solving and enemy damage, and 'Phantom Rush' for increased combat output. Invest in a few levels of 'Max Rings' from Elder Koco to improve survivability. For Hermit Koco, a few points into 'Attack Power' will help with early Guardian encounters. This balanced build ensures you're well-equipped for both exploration and combat as you learn the ropes of the Starfall Islands.
