The Beginner’s Guide to The Bazaar: Tips, Strategies, and More!

This guide helps beginners quickly understand the game.

Welcome to The Beginner’s Guide to The Bazaar – your one-stop resource for mastering this fast-paced, free-to-play gem. Whether you’re learning hero synergies, optimizing daily runs, or defending your Prestige, we’ve packed this guide with battle-tested strategies, hidden mechanics, and rookie mistakes to avoid.

Day Structure & Key Mechanics in the Bazaar

  1. Prestige: Starts at 20. Losing PvP reduces Prestige by the day number (e.g., losing on Day 3 costs 3 Prestige). At 0 Prestige, you get one Resurrection Event (choose a powerful boost) before the run ends.
  2. Daily Flow:
    • Hours 1–5: Visit vendors, tackle events, or fight monsters.
    • Hour 6: PvP battle. Winning progresses your run; losing reduces Prestige by the day number (e.g., losing on Day 3 costs 3 Prestige).
    • Monster Fights: Avoid losing—defeat grants gold, XP, and items. Prioritize easier early monsters to avoid falling behind.
  3. Leveling Up:
    • Earn XP from fights. Leveling unlocks skill choices (e.g., crit boosts, shop rerolls). Early levels focus on survivability. Beginner’s Guide-2.jpg

Items & Skills in the Bazaar

  1. Tiers: Bronze (Day 1), Silver (Day 2), Gold (Day 5), Diamond (Day 8). Higher tiers unlock stronger effects.
  2. Item Types:
    • Weapons: Deal direct damage (e.g., Cutlass).
    • Burn/Poison: Burn deals ramping damage (halved by shields); poison bypasses shields.
    • Shield/Heal: Shield acts as extra health; heal restores HP and reduces poison/burn stacks.
  3. Skills: Passive upgrades (e.g., “Your leftmost Weapon deals +50 Damage”). Stack skills infinitely for synergies.Coming soon: the new skill feature!Keep following our website for updates!
  4. Item Sizes: Small (1 slot), Medium (2 slots), Large (3 slots). Manage board space to optimize DPS. ## Understanding Normal Mode vs. Ranked Mode

» Normal - Free Play

In The Bazaar, your ultimate objective is to achieve 10 wins! This milestone is crucial for progressing in the game, as it unlocks exciting opportunities. If you’re playing in Normal Mode, successfully reaching 10 wins will reward you with a coveted Ranked Mode ticket. This ticket allows you to enter the competitive Ranked Mode, where you can showcase your skills. Beginner’s Guide-2.jpg

» Ranked - Win Prizes

Playing in Ranked Mode requires either 100 Gems or one Ranked Mode ticket, which you can obtain by achieving 10 wins in Normal Mode. In Ranked Mode, you will still aim for 10 wins, but there are also thresholds for partial rewards:

  • 4 wins = 1 chests
  • 7 wins = 2 chests
  • 10 wins = 3 chests

These chests provide valuable loot such as hero skins, card backs, rugs, and more. Other than that, the modes are identical; tho we assume your games will be more challenging in Ranked as other players tend to play harder.

How ranking works in the Bazaar

Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

  • Less than 4 Wins: You’ll receive -1 rank point.
  • 4-6 Wins: You break even with 0 rank points.
  • 7-9 Wins: You gain 1 rank point, increasing in rank.
  • 10 Wins: You earn 2 rank points, maximizing your advancement.
