# Tips | Big Mech Energy Idle Wiki

- Watch the combat log to see which attacks and damage types are actually landing.
- Early on, pile your Core's single output onto one strong attack and tune it, focused beats spread until you ascend and grow more outputs.
- Upgrade the **Mech Core** with Components: it raises the Power feeding every attack at once.
- Challenge the overlord around its recommended wave; the duel pays a first-kill bounty and opens the next Ascension. Then ascend when the projected Cores feel worth it.
- Keep a drone sortie running whenever you log off; Components pile up while you're gone.
- **Export a backup code** regularly, browser storage can be wiped without warning.
