First, redeem the working codes. DELAYYY, MINIUPDATE, STRATEGY, and NEWMYTHICALNAOYA are active as of April 19, 2026. They give Scrolls and Rerolls — the two currencies that determine whether your early rolls produce usable Cursed Techniques or dead-weight duplicates. This guide shows how to spend them, what to ignore, and when the game expects you to restart.
What the Codes Actually Give You (And Why Order Matters)
Every active code in the Naoya-era list dumps into the same two buckets: Scrolls and Rerolls. The game does not tell you which code gives which amount until after redemption. Based on the code list structure and typical Roblox incremental economies, here's the safe assumption:
- Scrolls — used to unlock new Cursed Techniques (your active/combat abilities)
- Rerolls — used to reroll the quality, element, or sub-stats of techniques and weapons
Redemption order matters because of confirmation bias. New players often burn Rerolls on their first technique, hoping to "perfect" something they'll replace in twenty minutes. The smarter path: redeem all codes first, check your total Scrolls, then roll for technique variety before touching Rerolls.

How to redeem: Look for a Codes button in the main menu or settings panel. Enter exactly as shown — these codes are case-sensitive. No confirmation of exact rewards is available in the source material; expect variable Scroll/Reroll amounts.
First-Hour Priorities: The Hidden Sequence
Most incrementals front-load dopamine and back-load understanding. Sorcerer Incremental inverts this partially — the Prestige code exists, which means the game wants you to restart eventually. The mistake is restarting too early or too late.
Priority 1: Establish a baseline technique. Roll Scrolls until you have one damage-dealing Cursed Technique and one mobility or defensive option. Do not reroll for quality yet. "Usable" beats "optimal" when you're learning boss patterns.
Priority 2: Touch the first boss, die, analyze. The game gates story progression behind boss defeats. Dying reveals attack patterns and tells you whether your current technique's range or windup is compatible. This is faster than reading wikis — and the wikis may be outdated post-Naoya update.
Priority 3: Map the weapon system. The source mentions "Weapons" as a separate rollable category from Cursed Techniques. [Inference: Weapons likely provide passive stats or alternate basic attacks, with techniques as cooldown-heavy specials.] Don't spread Scrolls across both pools until you know which one drives your preferred playstyle.
Priority 4: Identify your first Prestige threshold. The PRESTIGE code suggests a restart mechanic for permanent bonuses. Typical incremental design places the first meaningful Prestige at 15-45 minutes of play. Look for a meter, achievement, or menu option that clarifies what you keep and lose.
Core Mechanics: What the Tutorial Doesn't Explain
Cursed Techniques vs. Weapons: The Build Axis
The source lists these as separate rollable categories. This implies a build system where:
- Cursed Techniques = active abilities, likely with elements, rarities, and combo potential
- Weapons = stat sticks or basic-attack modifiers
Hidden variable: Some techniques may scale off weapon stats, or weapons may enable technique synergies. The Naoya-era code suggests new mythical-tier content — possibly technique-weapon pairs that activate together. Don't dismantle or ignore early drops until you test this.
Rerolls: When to Hold, When to Spend
| Situation | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| First technique is Common rarity with no element | Keep, don't reroll | Learning tool; replaced soon |
| Technique has good base effect but wrong element for current boss | Situational reroll | Element match may be 20-30% damage swing |
| Post-Prestige, holding a high-tier base | Full reroll investment | Permanent bonuses justify permanent quality |
| Code stockpile >50 Rerolls, no clear upgrade path | Roll new technique first | Rerolls on bad base = sunk cost |
The Leaderboard Trap
CLIMBTHELEADERBOARD is an active code, which means competitive rankings exist. Skip if: You're under two hours played. Leaderboard chasing in incrementals typically requires optimized Prestige timing and specific technique pools. Early attempts waste Rerolls on marginal gains.
Trade-off: Leaderboard rewards may include exclusive codes or cosmetics. Check whether seasonal rewards outpace the resource cost of competing before your first Prestige.
Beginner Mistakes: The Decision Archaeology
Mistake 1: Hoarding codes "for later."
Roblox codes expire. The EASTER2026, SPRINGTIME, EASTERBUNNY, and EGGHUNT codes are seasonal and may disable within weeks. DELAYYY and MINIUPDATE are compensation codes with shorter lifespans than permanent content codes. Plausible alternative loses: Saving codes for "when I'm good" means losing them to expiration, and early resources accelerate the learning curve.
Mistake 2: Rerolling before first Prestige.
Pre-Prestige gear is temporary by design. Rerolls spent here have zero permanent return. Why this feels right: Visible numbers go up, boss dies faster. Why it loses: Post-Prestige, you restart with bonuses that make re-acquisition trivial. The Rerolls don't come back.
Mistake 3: Ignoring the "Naoya" content marker.
NEWMYTHICALNAOYA is a specific code, not generic. This suggests Naoya is a new boss, technique set, or progression tier. Playing without engaging this content means grinding outdated tiers. Non-obvious axis: New content often has better drop rates or easier Prestige thresholds to drive engagement. Old content may be deliberately inefficient.
Mistake 4: Single-technique attachment.
The source mentions "unique powers, including special techniques and weapons" — plural. If the game allows technique swapping or loadouts, one-tricking limits your ability to handle elemental resistances or range requirements. Decision shortcut: Keep two techniques leveled within one tier of each other until you confirm endgame viability.
Build Guidance: Minimal Viable Setup
Best for: Players who want to reach first Prestige in under an hour with minimal Reroll waste.
Skip if: You're chasing leaderboard position immediately or have specific technique preferences from other players' videos.
| Slot | Priority | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Technique | Any damage-dealing with short windup | Speed > raw numbers for learning |
| Secondary Technique | Mobility or iframe (if available) | Boss patterns punish standing still |
| Weapon | Whatever rolls first with attack speed | Don't roll specifically; use overflow Scrolls |
| Reroll Budget | 0 until first Prestige | Exception: element-hardwall on boss |
Trade-off: This setup sacrifices optimal DPS for pattern-recognition speed. You'll clear slower but learn faster, which compounds on restart.
After First Prestige: The Pivot Point
The source notes you "restart your journey to get stronger." This is the mechanical core, not optional content. Post-Prestige:
- Check what persists — likely some form of permanent multipliers, unlocks, or currency retention
- Re-evaluate technique pool; new rarities may be available
- Spend accumulated Rerolls on the best base you acquired pre-Prestige or immediately post
- Set a new Prestige target based on time-to-reward ratio, not habit
Hidden variable: Multiple Prestige codes in the list (PRESTIGE, NEWERA) suggest the system has depth — possibly Prestige layers or branching paths. Don't assume linear scaling.
Clear Next Steps
Right now (0-10 minutes): Redeem all codes. Check totals. Roll Scrolls for two techniques.
First hour: Reach first boss. Die or win, note patterns. Don't Reroll. Locate Prestige menu.
First Prestige: Spend Rerolls on best available base. Set technique-weapon synergy as new goal.
Ongoing: Check code sources weekly — compensation codes like DELAYYY expire faster than seasonal ones.

Specific damage numbers, exact drop rates, and Prestige mechanics are inferred from incremental genre conventions and should be confirmed in-game. Code status changes frequently; verify before redemption.
