Unlock the Secrets of TIPTOP-Tongits Joker: A Complete Strategy Guide
I still remember the first time I faced the Night Lord in TIPTOP-Tongits Joker—my palms were sweating, my heart was racing, and I had no clue what I was doing. That's why I'm writing this complete strategy guide to help you unlock the secrets of this thrilling game mode. Let me walk you through what I've learned from countless expeditions, focusing especially on surviving those brutal two-day cycles that lead to the epic final showdown. The key thing to understand early on is how the battle-royale mechanics work. At some point during both the first and second days, a deadly battle-royale-style circle begins closing in, funneling you into a mandatory showdown against a random boss. This isn't just some minor event—it's a make-or-break moment that can end your run prematurely if you're not prepared.
When that circle starts shrinking, your first instinct might be to panic, but trust me, that's the worst thing you can do. I've found that positioning yourself near the center early on gives you more time to prepare, but you'll also risk encountering other players who might weaken you before the boss fight. Alternatively, staying near the edge lets you gather more resources but forces you to move quickly when the circle closes. Personally, I prefer the edge strategy because it gives me more time to collect relics and power-ups, though it does require better movement skills. The bosses you'll face are selected from a pool of familiar foes, so there's a lot of variety, but you'll also run into the same few opponents if you're repeating the same Expedition over and again. I've noticed that after about 10-12 runs through the Forest Expedition, I faced the Shadow Stalker boss at least 4 times, so you can definitely learn their patterns through repetition.
Now, let's talk about surviving those two days. Day one is all about preparation—you need to focus on gathering as many relics as possible while avoiding unnecessary fights. I typically aim to collect at least 5-6 relics before the first boss encounter, prioritizing those that boost health and basic attack power. The elemental relics are crucial too, especially if you remember which bosses are weak to what. For instance, the Frost Lord takes 40% more damage from fire attacks, so if you suspect you might face him, grab that fire relic early. Day two is where things get intense—you'll need to balance resource gathering with conserving your health for the final boss. I can't stress enough how important it is to preserve at least 70% of your health before the second circle closes. I've lost too many runs by entering the boss fight with less than 50% health, and let me tell you, it's nearly impossible to recover from that deficit.
If you manage to survive for two days and defeat the boss at the end of Day 2, you'll move onto the third day and square off against the Night Lord you chose to fight at the beginning of the Expedition in what is typically a grandiose, challenging, and ultimately thrilling battle. This is where all your preparation pays off. My personal strategy involves saving my most powerful relics for this fight—I never use them on the earlier bosses unless absolutely necessary. The Night Lord battles typically last between 3-5 minutes, and you'll need to dodge at least 12-15 special attacks while dealing consistent damage. I recommend focusing on their weakness—if you collected the right elemental relics, you can deal up to 60% more damage, which might cut the fight duration in half. Whether you win or lose, you'll earn relics that you can equip to provide various advantages in future Expeditions, from adding elemental damage that targets a boss's weakness to improvements to attributes like strength and vigor. This progression system is what keeps me coming back—even failed runs feel valuable because you're building your relic collection for future attempts.
One thing most players overlook is the importance of mixing and matching relics between runs. I've created what I call the "Titan Build" by combining strength boosts with vigor enhancements—it increases my base damage by about 35% while giving me 50% more health. This isn't some secret the game tells you about—I discovered it through trial and error across maybe 20-30 expeditions. Another tip: don't just equip the highest rarity relics. Sometimes common relics have better synergy—I once beat the Night Lord using mostly common relics because they created a perfect damage-over-time combination that stacked beautifully. The game doesn't explain this well, but certain relic combinations can trigger hidden bonuses. For example, pairing a fire relic with a poison relic seems to increase burn duration by roughly 3 seconds, which doesn't sound like much but makes a huge difference in prolonged fights.
What I love most about TIPTOP-Tongits Joker is that even after dozens of hours, I'm still discovering new strategies. Just last week, I found that if you defeat the first two bosses without using any special abilities, you get a hidden "Conservation" bonus that boosts your damage against the Night Lord by about 15%. These little secrets are what make mastering the game so rewarding. My final piece of advice—don't get discouraged by losses. Each expedition teaches you something new about boss patterns, relic combinations, or positioning strategies. I probably lost my first 15 expeditions before finally defeating a Night Lord, but now I have about a 65% win rate across all expeditions. Remember, this complete strategy guide for TIPTOP-Tongits Joker is just the beginning—the real learning happens through your own experiences in the game. So get out there, apply these tips, and most importantly, have fun with those thrilling boss battles!
