Modes
This page groups the playable lanes that actually change how you use stamina, build around your carry, or decide when co-op becomes worth it. Start with story for unlocks and checkpoints, then move into shrines or co-op when the next question becomes specific.
Start Here
Story first, then shrines, co-op, and Gauntlette once the mode question becomes specific.
The cleanest mode route is still progression first. Story opens allies and rank checkpoints, shrines test whether the carry is real, co-op helps when bosses or shrine floors want room codes or matchmaking support, and Gauntlette becomes the score test once the build stops wobbling.
