Don't Skip The Tutorial
At the start of the game, you'll be introduced to the basics of the game. You'll learn about how skills work, what the weapons are, and how you can upgrade them, and you will meet a few enemies along the way.
The tutorial is the best way to understand what the game is all about and how you can progress. Make sure to never skip the tutorial, as it will give you the information that you need.
Finish the tutorial as best as possible and get rewarded for it instead of just skipping it altogether.
Some players might have an idea of what the game is already, but it is still highly recommended to finish the tutorial to get the feel of what the game is all about.
Gain Weapon Mastery
There are different weapons that you can use in this game. Some of them can be equipped early on in the game, while others can only be unlocked at certain levels.
No matter what your choice of weapon is, it is always best to master it. Gaining weapon mastery unlocks the skills for that specific weapon. You gain more damage and unlock more skills the more you try to use the same weapon in all of your adventures.
Switching to a new weapon would mean that you compromise on your damage output; however, new weapons introduced in the game, later on are equally powerful. It is all about which weapon you choose to wield and master.
Use Your Skills
Players are offered a lot of skills to be used during combat. Most of these skills can evoke damage to the enemy, and the best part is that you can use two or more different skills at the same time to combo them.
Skill combos deal more damage, but they also need a lot of practice to get it right. You will need to spend a lot of time practicing how to weave your skills in and out of combat, as you won't have the time to do so when you're out on an adventure.
The best advice is to learn as you go and try to experiment early on where enemies don't deal too much damage to your health. The game also features a charge-up system where the skills become more devastating.
Look for the gauge just below your health bar and see how you can enact such a powerful skill.
Time Your Ultimate Skill Properly
Apart from your basic skills, you also have an ultimate skill that offers much damage and has some of the best area-of-effect. Ultimate skills don't come as often as your basic skills, so it is best to use them on special occasions.
Most of the time, the best way to use your ultimate skill is when you're either cornered or when you're dealing with a boss that has summoned a lot of minions. Using your ultimate skill needs perfect timing.
Always make sure to use them only in certain situations or else run the risk of having them unavailable when you need them the most. Ultimate skills have a very long cooldown, so that they won't be available for a certain period.
Watch Out For Ranged Attacks
Slaying enemy minions is very easy at the start of the game. Most of the minions fall easily with just one swing of your sword or after you deal damage with your skill.
There are different types of enemies that you'll encounter in this game that deal different levels of damage. Some minions deal a minute amount of damage while others do critical hits. One of the most undermined damage is those from ranged attacks.
Many players underestimate ranged attacks as they often do not deal tremendous amounts of damage. However, do not make the mistake of simply tanking ranged attacks.
They may not deal that much damage, but you'll soon notice that they hurt a lot whenever you reach the higher levels.
Be Careful Of Bosses
While you may be busy and enjoying yourself slaying different monsters and enemies in Stickman Master, you'll soon encounter bosses that are pretty difficult to kill.
Most of these bosses come after you reach a certain level in the game. They are usually big and bulky and deal huge amounts of damage. Luckily, they are also relatively slow to attack, and they always have an attack pattern that you can easily predict.
Never underestimate bosses as they deal critical damage that can instantly kill you. Always be prepared when dealing with them. The best way to deal with bosses is to study their attack pattern first and then strike whenever they are vulnerable.
Get Gold By Killing Enemies
Gold is one of the precious resources in the game. There are many ways to get gold in this game, but the simplest way to do so is to kill enemy monsters.
Every time you get a kill on an enemy, you get a chance to drop gold from them. You also might want to use your combos to kill enemies faster so you can collect the gold that they drop immediately.
All you need to do to collect the gold is to walk over them. At the end of each level, you'll also receive bonus gold. There is also an option that will allow you to multiply the amount of gold you earned at each level. Go ahead and check it out.
Apart from killing enemies, you can also get gold by selling the items that you pick up.
Use The Gold To Upgrade And Level Up Skills
Once you have collected enough gold from killing minions and bosses, you can use it to upgrade your weapons. Upgrading your weapons means you get to increase their durability and damage at the same time.
You may also use it to upgrade your other items, such as your armor, to help protect you better. You can also use gold to level up your skills. Leveling your skills means improving their damage output, increasing their effect, and decreasing their cooldown so you can use them more often.
Ensure to head over to the Charge Mastery option to check on your skills and level them up.
Embed Runes To Your Items
Apart from using your gold to upgrade your weapons and improve the effectiveness of your skills, you can also embed runes to make them even more powerful.
Embedding runes to different weapons would increase their status and make them even better. Weapons with embedded runes have a special effect on them, whether they extend an effect or deal additional damage.
There are different runes available in the game, and it is up to you to mix and match which runes you should take. Place runes on armors as well to increase your protection against attacks.
However, not all items can be embedded with a rune. Only those with a socket can be used to increase their power. Never make the mistake of selling socketed items.
Watch An Ad And Receive Random Equipment
There are a lot of perks that Stickman Master gives to its players. One of which is by watching ads. Watching ads is very common in mobile games, and it is one way of supporting the game.
You also get random equipment whenever you finish watching an ad. You can also opt not to use this option if you are not fond of watching ads, but if you do, go ahead and receive a random item as a gift.

Make sure to get to the end and receive rewards that will help you further in the game.
