Compounding Growth

Select a quest and team → slingshot monsters through turn-based battles → collect rewards and monsters → strengthen or evolve the roster → enter harder or co-op quests.

Outputs strengthen assets, capabilities, or access and open a stronger next cycle.

Core classification and definition · Decision and Planning Calculability Breakdown

Decision and Planning Calculability Breakdown

The affected flow runs through state → goal → source → attempt → return; its limiting point is the growth collection planning handoff.

Multiple goals, resources, states, rules, and paths cannot be compared on one decision surface, forcing repeated reprioritization.
