Tactical Breach Wizards is a turn-based tactics game from Suspicious Developments (the Heat Signature developer) where modern-day wizards breach buildings and throw enemies out of windows. Every mission is a puzzle where you position your squad to chain knockbacks, exploit environmental kills, and defenestrate as many enemies as possible. The Confidence system lets you undo any move, encouraging experimentation without punishment. With sharp writing, a noir detective story, and mechanics designed around creative violence through window-based kills, TBW is one of the tightest tactical experiences in recent years.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary equipment | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your build's key synergies |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary equipment | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Resource Efficiency Tips
