Start here if you are new
If you just bought the game, skip the long forum threads and open the Getting Started walkthrough. It is written so a brand-new player can finish day one without looking up anything else.
Returning players
If your deck feels weak against the second island, jump to the Deck Builder to rebuild your loadout from the cats you actually own, then read How to Build a Deck for the principles that hold across every chapter.
Still stuck?
Open the Maps & Stages page for a level-by-level overview of all 90+ campaign stages and the three hidden stages, or check the Tier List hub to find the best cat for any role in your team.
The guides below are written to be followed in order. If you are new, read the Getting started guide first.
Picking a guide based on your goal
If you are optimizing for time-to-second-island, read Getting started and then jump to How to Beat Level 30. If you are optimizing for free-to-play economy, the How to Build a Deck and How to Use Items guides cover the cheapest clears. If you are chasing the legendary cat, read How to Unlock Hidden Stages for the three unlocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fast answers to the questions players ask most.
Where should a brand-new player start in Claws Of Power?
Open the [Getting Started](/guides/getting-started/) walkthrough. It assumes zero prior experience and ends with a deck that clears the first ten levels without spending gems.
Which guide solves the hardest roadblock new players hit?
Most players stall at level 30. [How to Beat Level 30](/guides/how-to-beat-level-30/) lays out lane pressure, item timing, and the cheap cat swap that resets the encounter.
I want to build my own deck without spending real money. Which guide should I read?
Start with [How to Build a Deck](/guides/how-to-build-a-deck/) for the role-balancing rules, then plug the cats you own into the [Deck Builder](/tools/deck-builder/) tool to see which roles your roster is missing.
How do the hidden stages work and where do I find them?
Each hidden stage is gated by a different condition (a specific boss, a level band, or a special item). [How to Unlock Hidden Stages](/guides/how-to-unlock-hidden-stages/) lists every gate and the cheapest way to clear it.
