Nonstop Knight Guide [Tips and Tricks]
When you start off Nonstop Knight you have very few basic active skills such as Whirl and Leap but later you will gain things such as Slash, Clone and Void and variations for each of the skills through Runestones. You gain skills as your character levels up but you will only ever have 3 active skills to worry about using. Whirl is a fast animation, making it great for grinding. Leap is good for bosses but Leap with Gold is something you will want to use to farm money when you’re actively playing the game. You will mostly want to use Whirl:frost and Leap:Gold until later levels. Later on you will get Clone, Double Clone and Clone heal. Double clean is great for clearing mobs but Double Heal is the best ability for boss fights. While playing Nonstop Knight you will come across various items that include flat attributes such as Damage, Speed, armor, crit chance but there are also items that have On hit or after kill attributes. For armor hold onto the items that have +% armor and +% armor with low HP as these items are very handy for hard boss fights. But you also want to keep a 2nd set of armor that has attack speed modifiers for when you go offline. For your cloak item again, you want to look for the attack speed modifier or armor modifier, these are the most important ones unless you can find something over 20% crit chance rating. Weapons are your main source of damage in the early stages of the game you can get away with just leveling your weapon stat to clear the stages. So focus on that until the bosses become “Hard” once you reach this point start dumping your money into armor upgrades. Armor is the primary stat required to clear bosses. It doesn’t matter too much for stages but when it comes to surviving a boss fight it is very important. Your cloak amplifies your abilities, its not very important so only spend money on it when you can.1. Nonstop Skills
My recommended skill path once you’ve hit level 17 is Whirl:Shield, Slash: Crit, Clone: heal this setup will easily allow you to fight bosses that are even considered “very hard”. Start with your clone just before you reach the boss, then use crit slash and then Whirl shield. For more difficult fights use whirl whenever its up to mitigate damage. Use crit slash to reposition yourself if there is a fight with ADDs. Always start the fight with clone heal so you can use the cool down in the middle of a boss fight.2. Which Nonstop Items to keep and which to level first.
For weapons you will likely want to use anything with a high % attack speed and any additional attributes, ideally on hit attributes for a secondary stat or crit chance.
If you’re running high damage, leap:crit is amazing. You can use it while running between groups of enemies to kill or severely damage the first enemy you hit.
You can even use it just before you press ‘BATTLE’ on a boss fight, and the cooldown will immediately reset, but your next attack will still crit.
On my current run, I’m using whirl:block, leap:crit, clone:heal, as many crit damage modifiers I can find, and The Emperor. This allows me to leap, start a boss fight, activate clone, crit him once (for double damage with The Emperor,) leap again, crit him once more (probably still with double damage because of clone:heal,) then whirl and go to town.
I recommend you using quake:stun slash: extra clone: double. summon clones first then whenever you are in range use the stun. after the stun you can use the slash. this skillset is very effective since you dont get any damage and even impossible bosses are taken down easily.
For your item strategy I don’t completely agree. My experiences so far here (im at dungeon 341 right now).
Obviously you’re interested in gathering money as quickly as possible. To achieve this, to use skills, like whirl, leap etc are important, as they can make have a higher kill rate (and possibly also collect purple chests more often, but so far I haven’t been able to establish precisely when those show up).
I’ve discovered that items with the damage perks also affect your skills. That makes the damage perk superior to the others. You can both keep whirling through enemies farther down, and you can smash those bosses before they get to use their special skill.
Oh, and the perks that rely on you killing something are generally bad. As you progress, you’r kill rate WILL slow down, and when you meet a boss difficult for your level, you’re most probably lucky if you get a multiplier of 1, maybe 2. Hence, the permanent or the skill based perks are better. The perks that relies on you getting hit can be ok as they can get many multipliers.
Best combo is getting Freezer armor and then stacking freeze skills (SLASH frost) and (Whirl Frost) hence making the bosses so super slow and with dmg output you can kill it quite fast or with huge armor output you can last forever basicly.

PS. Set your phone setting to never sleep mode.
Goldie Sword- Gain xtra gold every 4th attack.
That is a super ambitious ideal item set. So for Im at dungeon 170 and I’ve never found the Goldie sword. Sounds nice though. So far I’ve been running vs bosses shield whirl, clone leap, and heal clone. I personally try and find Dodge related gear that dodges as much as possible. I can beat about 3-4 impossible bosses as well before they become truly impossible with each Ascension doing this. By focusing on dodging important abilities by timing shield whirl or jump with high Dodge chance it works pretty well.
