About Orc Incremental
Orc Incremental is an incremental auto‑battler where you command a growing warband of orc units. You draft cards to recruit troops and totems, arrange a formation, and let the army fight automatically while you can intervene with spells when needed.
When progress stalls you can reset via Dark Rebirth, keeping permanent bonuses that unlock new units, challenges and chieftains. The game runs offline, rewarding you with gold and a stronger army each time you return.
01 / THE GUIDE
Drafting Units and Totems
Cards let you add units and totems to your warband. Units appear in several rarities and fill distinct battlefield roles, while totems grant passive bonuses that affect the whole army. Choosing the right mix determines how far you can push before hitting a wall.
Each draft decision steers the run in a new direction, shaping composition and influencing later upgrades. The variety of rarities and roles encourages experimentation to discover synergistic line‑ups.
- Mix rarities to balance raw power with unique abilities.
- Add totems early if you need a broad boost to survivability.
02 / THE GUIDE
Formations and Auto Battles
After drafting, you set your formation and let the army march forward. Battles run automatically, allowing you to watch waves of enemies being cleared without direct control. When a wall is reached, you can rethink the lineup or replace units.
The auto‑battle system rewards strategic placement; a well‑chosen formation can sustain longer pushes, while a poor one forces an early reset. Adjustments are made between runs rather than during combat.
- Observe which units die first and adjust their positions.
- Reorganize formations after each ascension to match new bonuses.
03 / THE GUIDE
Casting Spells
Spells can be dropped during tough battles to influence outcomes. For example, a Blizzard slows a boss that threatens the frontline, while a Fireball can finish a fight that looks lost. Spell use is the primary active decision you make while the army fights itself.
Spells are limited resources, so using them at critical moments maximizes their impact. They complement the passive strength of your drafted units and totems.
- Save crowd‑control spells for boss encounters.
- Combine damage spells with units that have high burst potential.
04 / THE GUIDE
Ascension (Dark Rebirth)
When your current army can no longer progress, you may ascend via Dark Rebirth. This resets the run but grants permanent bonuses such as increased damage, health, or gold. Each ascension also unlocks new units, challenges and a selectable chieftain that makes future runs unique.
Permanent bonuses stack across ascensions, steadily expanding the early‑game power curve and opening fresh strategic options. New challenges appear only after you have accumulated enough bonuses.
- Prioritize bonuses that match your preferred unit types.
- Choose a chieftain whose perk aligns with your drafting style.
05 / THE GUIDE
Offline Progression
The game continues to generate gold while you are away. When you return, the accumulated resources can be spent on further drafts, upgrades or totems, effectively growing your army without active play. Offline earnings scale with the permanent bonuses earned from ascensions.
This feature ensures that each return session starts with a stronger position, encouraging periodic check‑ins to reinvest the idle gains.
- Upgrade gold‑generating totems before going offline.
- Plan your next draft while offline to use gold efficiently.
