★ Dev Tip: "The only weak Dude is a neglected Dude" — invest in your Business Dude, compound interest wins runs. FrankenDude's Blood Pump donates HP to allies every second — he's a tank AND healer in one slot. Skeleton deaths from NecroDude trigger his growth!

★ Gold Star Every Dude, Every Tier

How it works: Each Dude gets 1 star per Tier. Gold = clear boss with them. Silver = clear Tier without. T3 Gold backfills T1+T2.
Strategy: Do T3 runs with 3-4 strong carries + 1-2 weak Dudes you're starring. ~38 runs to star all 42 Dudes.
