Combolands: 10 things the game doesn't tell you
Check our guide to discover hidden mechanics, advanced combos and guild management strategies in Combolands. The video analyzes ten key aspects that beginners miss, offering practical tips to improve your city.
Master guild combinations
Every guild combination has unique interactions that make buildings work perfectly together. If you start a new run knowing only part of a combination, build your city starting from that specific block, then experiment and check how elements from other guilds interact to find hidden connections.
Exploit building rarity
Rarity matters a lot, because common, uncommon and rare items offer different powers. Rare buildings have much higher power, so build your strategy around them whenever you encounter one, since they appear very rarely.
Finish milestones early
Complete milestones ahead of the required time to earn bonus gold. Always weigh whether it's worth growing the city further or cashing in extra gold by discarding powerful buildings when you can reach the milestone early.
Use rerolls and removals
Use rerolls to avoid dead hands and get better building options. Remove structures that clutter your space or that you don't need, to free up tiles and improve the odds of drawing valid elements.
Manage multipliers in the late game
Focus on quantity and multipliers to power up buildings in the advanced stages. Pick the strongest buildings and stack multiple multipliers to get through the toughest moments of the run.
Pick the Thieves' Guild
Select the Thieves' Guild first to more easily unlock the buildings needed to reach the Arcane Guild. The Thieves' Guild produces gold easily and makes milestones easier to hit.
Select the master spy
Select the master spy in the council request screen to earn seventy-five extra gold. Build banks near wheat fields and wells to generate the gold needed to fulfill this request.
Set up the phantom market
Place a granary, vineyards and wheat fields around a central phantom market to activate every adjacent crop. This setup produces large amounts of gold and removes or regenerates useful elements.
Collect the eight gems
Collect eight gems and place them inside a jewel box to obtain the lost crown. Select the antiquarian vows to accumulate the gems and tomes needed to complete this stage.
Place statues and herb gardens
Build a statue and apply wild paint to make it count as healing. Surround the statue with herb gardens and a bandit camp to trigger a continuous chain reaction of bonuses.
