🧭 What Singularity is (Order vs. Chaos)

• Order is the baseline: a round-based, roguelite solo activity with a perk choice after each stage. It’s designed for practicing fundamentals (positioning, add control, short burst windows) while still dropping relevant loot and mods.
• Chaos is the spicy variant: same bones, but tuned for target farming of key materials/artifacts with bigger risk–reward. Community and guide coverage describe Chaos as the efficient route for certain artifacts and materials once you’re consistent in Order.

Where it fits in your week: Treat Order as your daily lab (micro-drills + safe clears) and Chaos as your burst session when you want artifacts/mats (after you’ve stabilized execution). Patch notes and guides continue to reference Singularity tweaks over the season, so expect small feel changes, not identity shifts.

🎛️ The upgrade system: Gifts of the Nine (how to choose like a pro)

Between rounds, you’ll pick Gifts of the Nine—stackable perks that bend your run. The full lists are long, but a few categories matter most for consistent clears (examples paraphrased from community catalogs):

• Ability-centric “Universal/Ability” gifts — raise ability damage, recharge, and let one Signature cast skip cooldown on a timer. (Great for safety and tempo.)
• Balanced damage/survival gifts — conditional multipliers (damage above/below 50% HP), shield break DR/move speed, and cross-damage hooks (ability → gun or gun → ability). (Ideal for mixed rooms.)
• Piercing/precision gifts — precision multipliers, shield shred, body-as-precision conversions, and on-crit explosions. (Bossing and elite deletion.)
• Impact/close-range gifts — melee and AoE sustain (heals on close kills, ammo plunder, movement speed from nearby enemies). (Crowd control maps.)

Rule of three: pick one Sustain gift, one Uptime gift, and one Damage gift early, then draft to reinforce your strongest win condition. (More on “Sustain → Uptime → Damage” below.)

📝 Wishlist & Chaos targeting

Chaos runs let you aim for specific drops more directly. Use your wishlist to bias the system toward the artifacts/gifts you actually need; recent patches even added per-element wishlist configurations so you can fine-tune drops for different Chaos themes/weeks. Keep a short, honest wishlist (3–5 must-haves) rather than a kitchen-sink list.

Community/guide roundups repeatedly call out Chaos for targeted artifacts and material bundles—so once your Order clears are wipeless, step into Chaos with a trimmed wishlist to stop chasing forever.

⚙️ The one build rule that prints clears

Across solos, strikes, ladders—the fastest path to consistent clears is the same stack:

Sustain → Uptime → Damage

• Sustain: damage reduction (common enemy types), passive heal/guard, “panic” layers. Your #1 wipe preventer.
• Uptime: reload/handling/ready speed, ability cooldowns. More actions per minute = more control.
• Damage: weak-point/crit amps, short burst multipliers for bosses/minibosses.

This isn’t theorycrafting fluff—Singularity punishes exposure and downtime way before “not enough raw DPS.” Build to live first, act second, and burst third. (Even dev notes and community content emphasize that Singularity’s round-end perks lean into cadence and stability.)

🔫 Plug-and-play solo loadouts (swap per modifier)

1) Wave-Cleaner (safest for most accounts)

• Weapons: stable primary (fast handling), splash/chain special, flexible heavy.
• Gifts: Ability regen + AoE amp + heal/DR on trigger.
• Use: dense rooms with trickle adds and a simple miniboss.

2) Precision Boss (final-round closer)

• Weapons: accuracy primary, single-target special (tap-burst/slug), precision heavy.
• Gifts: precision/piercing multipliers + “pre-burst” uptime (reload/handling) + one sustain.
• Use: boss checks, elite waves with shields.

3) Brawler Sustain (risky maps, melee-friendly)

• Weapons: forgiving primary, close-burst special, flexible heavy.
• Gifts: melee/close-range sustain (heal on near kills, ammo plunder, move speed from proximity) + DR.
• Use: small arenas where adds get in your face.

Adapt fast: elemental shields? Swap one element or gift. Sniper weeks? Add DR-while-aiming + shoulder-peek discipline. Boss-resist weeks? Plan two shorter damage windows, not one greedy burn. (These micro-adjustments are faster than full rebuilds, and patch notes tend to tweak feel, not fundamentals.)

🗺️ Seven-round flow you can copy

Singularity runs feel different week to week, but the safest skeleton stays true:

1. Round 1 — Info pass

• Test lines, read spawns, lock your “head-height pathing.”
• Pick: sustain or uptime (not damage) to prevent early scuffs.

1. Round 2 — First friction

• Pre-nade funnels; shoulder-peek doors.
• Pick: the opposite of round 1 (if you took sustain, take uptime).

1. Round 3 — Elite check

• Save heavy for elites only; never dump all cooldowns at door.
• Pick: your first damage gift (precision or AoE, match the room).

1. Round 4 — Rhythm lock

• You should now be wipeless. If not, spend this round on discipline (choke → CC → cleanup → path check).
• Pick: reinforce your best lane—either a second sustain (hard maps) or a second uptime (faster rooms).

1. Round 5 — Tempo push

• Start banking fast deletes: elite spawn → debuff → burst (8–12 seconds).
• Pick: the damage hook that matches your heavy/special.

1. Round 6 — Boss prep

• Stop wasting ammo; practice your boss window count out loud: “pre-burst…3…2…1…burst…off.”
• Pick: final uptime or safety gift depending on how your health bar looked in 4–5.

1. Round 7 — Boss

• Two-window plan: short safe window → reset → second window. If window 1 is perfect, bank window 2 as insurance.
• Callouts (to yourself!): “adds clear,” “pre-burst,” “burst,” “off,” “reset.”

🎯 Chaos, materials & artifacts (why and when to run it)

Chaos is best when you already have clean Order clears. Use it to:

• Target farm artifacts you’re missing—multiple guides rank Chaos as the most efficient artifact source when you finish full runs.
• Stock specific materials tied to Chaos rotations (e.g., elemental fruits, coins)—community PSAs recommend pre-buying limited shop packs and aligning Chaos with your wishlist so you don’t burn your Pinnacle-style energy on “learning” attempts.

Bank smart: Don’t chase “perfect” RNG. Set a short wishlist, finish runs, and let the weekly loop do the heavy lifting.

🧪 Micro-drills (10–15 min) that make rounds trivial

• Doorway discipline: shoulder-bait shot → step out → first-shot head (30 reps).
• Burst cadence: short-burst your primary against a wall and feel recoil resets (3×20).
• Pre-nade timing: throw where adds will be, one second early; repeat until you land it blind.
• Boss windows: say the count out loud in an empty arena twice; then try it once with adds.

Singularity is where practice shows immediate returns—the mode to sharpen mechanics safely before raids/ladder. (Video guides and community posts repeatedly position Singularity as the solo skill lab.)

🛡️ Troubleshooting (fastest fixes first)

• “I keep dying in doors.” You’re entering wide. Slide the corner, pre-nade the funnel, and secure one head-height kill before stepping in.
• “No ammo for boss.” You’re leaking heavy on trash. Set a hard rule: no heavy before miniboss; finishers only when the room is stable.
• “My gifts feel random.” You’re drafting damage too early. Take sustain and uptime first two rounds; damage gifts feel 2× better once you aren’t scrambling.
• “Boss windows are messy.” Teamwide (well, you-wide) reload/handling booster + shorter “pre-burst” count. Bank a second window on purpose.
• “Chaos feels harder than it pays.” You’re in Chaos too soon. Stabilize Order, then return with a trimmed wishlist and a 2-window boss plan.

⏱️ 30/60/90-minute Singularity plans

30-Minute “Daily Ticket”

• One Order clear focused on zero deaths.
• One Chaos attempt only if the Order felt comfortable; otherwise run Order again.
• 2-minute audit: lock keepers, shard noise, note one fix.

60-Minute “Target Farm”

• Order → Chaos → Chaos. If Chaos #1 scuffs (early death, blown window), abort and restart; Chaos burns time if you ego through a doomed run.
• Between runs, change one thing (gift priority, one mod, one weapon).

90-Minute “Boss Clinic”

• Order warm-up, then two Chaos attempts. If both hit time but the kill is sloppy, add one precision/piercing gift and shorten the pre-burst count.
• Stop at the first tilted run; Chaos punishes frustration.

📅 Reset-to-reset loop

Reset day — Check patch notes (gift balance, wishlist behavior, Chaos shop). Start with an Order clear to read the week.

Midweek — Two 30-min tickets (Order→Chaos). Drill one micro-skill per night.

Weekend — 60–90-min session: two Chaos attempts, only if your Order warm-up was wipeless.

Pre-reset — Vendor/shop cleanup; wishlist trim; screenshot your best gift stacks for reference.

When you want a one-and-done path to wipeless Chaos clears (or help shaping a clean two-window boss plan), schedule a focused run via BoostRoom—learn it once, repeat forever.

✅ TL;DR — Singularity in one page

• Order = daily lab; Chaos = target farm once you’re stable.
• Draft gifts with Sustain → Uptime → Damage; damage gifts feel better after you stop dying.
• Keep two boss windows planned; count them: “pre-burst → burst → off → reset.”
• Trim your Chaos wishlist (3–5 must-haves); finish runs instead of chasing perfect RNG.
• Use 30/60/90 plans; abort scuffed Chaos, protect your time.

Conclusion

Singularity is the perfect solo loop: short, demanding, and endlessly repeatable. Lock your fundamentals in Order, then cash in with Chaos once your clears feel boring (that’s a good thing). Pick one sustain, one uptime, and one damage gift early, keep your boss windows short and called, and trim your Chaos wishlist so you farm purposefully, not endlessly. Start small, stop when execution slips, and your week will stack clean clears—and the artifacts you actually need.
