Wanderburg Gameplay and Progression

Choose a vehicle for the module slots your build needs, develop one main attack, and spend permanent Silver on the next missing piece. Use this page to reach the vehicle comparison, a module unlock, an Artifact effect or a missing achievement without searching through patch history.

Find the answer for your next run

For a ready starting selection, compare the Ram, cannon and Spiderburg mage builds. If you are learning movement and growth, start with the beginner guide.

Match the chassis to the damage plan

Wanderturm keeps a Front, Side, Top and Back position. Spiderburg gives up Side for a second Top, while Tankenburg gives up Back for a second Front. That makes the choice practical: keep Wanderturm for Side Cannon with Back Dash, choose Spiderburg for two Top mages, or consider Tankenburg when you want two Front tools.

Check the unlock task and price before purchasing a chassis, then budget for any missing module. The vehicle guide separates an unfinished task, a Silver purchase and an equipment warning. Silver farming helps calculate the remaining purchase gap.

Choose the upgrade that fixes the fight

Start with what your attack is already doing. Automatic hits that connect but leave too many enemies alive suggest automatic damage, interval or target-count upgrades. An active that hits hard but is unavailable for the next opening suggests cooldown. Troops that never catch their target need a movement or positioning answer before another damage card.

For a projectile-heavy approach, Force Mage's active can cancel incoming shots. For group coverage, Electric Mage's automatic attack reaches seven base targets in 0.9.14. The Modules guide connects those roles to slots, unlock prerequisites and active-versus-automatic choices.

Make the Artifact work before spending a reroll

Match the card's trigger to a real event in your build. Reset Lever refreshes module cooldowns on a level-up; Magma Core needs cannonballs to hit the ground; Tinderbox needs existing fire to spread. A matching attack type and a matching mounting position are separate checks.

Repair Wrench heals a base 25 HP in 0.9.14. At 180/200 HP, only 20 HP can fit, so compare that recovery with the upgrade you would give up. The Artifacts guide explains these timing choices, healing examples and compatible build pairings.

Artifact Rerolls and New Module Rerolls are separate resources. You start with two Artifact Rerolls; six permanent Artifact unlocks grant another Artifact Reroll, while six permanent Module unlocks grant a New Module Reroll. See the count examples before spending on an unlock solely for its bonus.

Finish the progression goal you actually need

For a vehicle, finish its named task and purchase. For All Lands won!, track actual Land wins rather than enemy quests or a newly unlocked biome. For cumulative Steam achievements, work on unfinished Land or vehicle goals while the distance, consumption, vehicle and boss totals advance alongside them.

The achievement guide separates the current public goals, official fixes and player-reported recovery checks. If the game crashes or loading stops, use Performance; changing a build is not the same test as changing a graphics launch choice.
