Speed Training Guide
If your character is too slow to escape a Boss, steal the next cage, or reach a later world, raise Speed in this order: unlock a pet, equip and ride it, train on the Treadmill, then spend leftover Money on supporting upgrades. The Pets guide explains how to select the Ride Pet that starts this training loop. A video example shows a ridden pet providing a 1.2x speed increase, but that value should not be treated as the multiplier for every pet.
How Speed Training Works
Speed is more than a movement stat. It affects how quickly you cross the map and is also used as a requirement for some cages and later areas. That makes it a progression gate: a faster route can improve your escape window and reduce the time spent carrying a cage back to your base.
The practical loop is:
- Take an available cage and open it at your base to obtain a pet.
- Equip the best pet you can currently ride.
- Ride it while moving between cages, the base, and training areas.
- Use the Treadmill when your pet’s boost is no longer enough for the next target.
- Reinvest cage and base income into training and the next useful upgrade.
Ride a pet and train Speed with the Treadmill
This moment supports the pet-riding and Treadmill loop by showing a 1.2x speed example before discussing the Treadmill and Green Trail.
The evidence does not provide a complete Treadmill level table or a confirmed value for every Trail. Use the number shown in the current in-game panel for prices and bonuses.
Best Upgrade Order
| Upgrade | What it helps with | When to prioritize it | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ride an unlocked pet | Faster map movement and shorter return trips | First, as soon as you have a rideable pet | A video demonstrates a 1.2x example; other pet multipliers are not established here |
| Treadmill | Raises Speed through training | When a cage or world requirement blocks you | The full level and cost table is not documented |
| Treadmill level upgrades | Makes repeated training more practical | After riding no longer clears the next target | One video shows a level 2 upgrade for 5,000; do not generalize that price to all levels |
| Base upgrades | Improves the income and cage-handling loop | When Money is limiting training | Exact costs and all effects depend on the available upgrade panel |
| Trails | Adds a movement-related purchase option | After core training is funded, unless the panel shows a clear stat gain | Individual Trail Speed bonuses are unverified |
This order favors upgrades that directly help you reach the next requirement. Buying a Trail before funding the Treadmill can slow progress if the Trail is cosmetic or its Speed effect is not shown clearly.
Training Route for New Players
1. Start with pet riding
Do not walk every trip if you already have a pet that can be ridden. Equip it at your base and use the ride action while travelling to a cage or returning home. The movement gain is most valuable when you repeat the same route many times.
2. Test the next cage before committing
Look at the target cage’s Speed requirement before you spend your Money. The supplied footage includes a 24K Speed cage example and separately mentions 4K as a recommended value. These figures refer to different observed goals, so they are not steps in one universal progression list.
If you cannot meet the requirement, stop forcing the theft route. Train first, or choose a lower cage that keeps your Money cycle running.
3. Train only when it changes your next decision
Use the Treadmill when it moves you toward a specific cage, escape route, or world gate. This is more efficient than buying every available movement item without checking what it unlocks. If a Treadmill upgrade is available and you repeatedly train, compare its displayed cost with the time saved on the next route.
4. Keep the base earning
Your base is the funding loop for training. Return cages, open them, collect Money, and put that income into the next Speed bottleneck. If training feels unaffordable, improve the cage and base cycle before spending on optional Trails.
5. Recheck the goal after each upgrade
After riding a stronger pet or training, check the target cage again. Speed requirements can differ by cage and world. A later-world example cites 200B Speed for the second world, but that is a late progression gate, not a sensible early training target.
When to Rebirth
Finish the important cage and training goals for your current cycle before choosing Rebirth. The supplied evidence says Rebirth resets current Speed, so rebirthing immediately before a planned cage attempt removes the progress you need for that attempt.
A safe decision rule is:
- Complete the next useful cage or world objective first.
- Spend available Money on a meaningful training or base improvement.
- Rebirth only when the long-term benefit outweighs rebuilding Speed for your current route.
The available material does not establish the complete Rebirth reward calculation, so do not assume a reset is profitable at a particular Speed value without checking the in-game prompt.
Speed Training Mistakes to Avoid
- Ignoring pet riding: A pet can improve every repeated trip, while a one-time purchase may not.
- Treating thresholds as a level chart: 24K, 4K, and 200B come from different observed contexts and should not be combined into a fixed list.
- Buying Trails without reading the panel: Their independent Speed values are not confirmed by the supplied evidence.
- Training without an objective: Set the next cage or world gate first, then decide how much Speed you actually need.
- Rebirthing too early: Current Speed may reset, leaving you unable to complete the route you were preparing for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can riding a pet replace Treadmill training?
Not always. Riding is the quickest early movement improvement shown in the evidence, but the Treadmill is the tool to use when your current pet still cannot meet a cage or world requirement.
Is 1.2x the Speed bonus for every pet?
No. 1.2x is a demonstrated example from one video. The available records do not verify a universal multiplier for all pets.
Should I buy a Green Trail for Speed?
Only after checking its current in-game description and funding your core training. A Green Trail is shown in the evidence, but its independent Speed bonus is not confirmed.
What should I do if I cannot afford training?
Keep using the best cage you can safely steal, return it to the base, and improve the income cycle. Avoid spending scarce Money on optional items until the Treadmill or a base upgrade directly helps the next target.
