WARNING: This guide contains spoilers. I mainly made it cause I always forget which Guild/League I want after each ascension.

Thanks to Melbac + RazzerZero for helping to complete this guide

Scavenger: Unlocks powerful upgrades focused on asteroid destruction and active play.

Scientist: Unlocks medium upgrades focused on Strange Asteroids and semi-idle play.

Trader: Unlocks weaker upgrades focused on passive production and idle play.

Powerful upgrades focused on asteroid destruction and active play.

All about clicking asteroids to gain Metal. This can potentially skyrocket your Metal production, if you click fast and often enough, which is great for unlocking new research tiers and upgrading buildings. It also lets you gain Experience (T2), and eventually Fuel (T7), from clicking asteroids.

The best choice if you never want to stop clicking, and want more Metal than you could feasibly use!

Medium upgrades focused on Strange Asteroids and semi-idle play.

Strange Asteroids can be absurdly powerful, and this guild enhances that even more. The tier 4 upgrade also gives you a new way to earn Lunchboxes, and the T5 and T6 upgrades increase Strange Asteroid spawn rates.

The best choice if you have the game open while doing other stuff, destroying Strange Asteroids when they appear. Note that they have a distinct sound when appearing, just make sure the option to mute the game when inactive is disabled.

Weaker upgrades focused on passive production and idle play.

The best choice if you keep the game open but don't actively play. However, a bit of setup and investment is needed to get the full benefits. The tier 3/4 upgrades give you more production for unused energy, which can be a huge buff when you have big energy numbers in the mid/late game. The T5 Particle Generator buff can be useful too, but if you don't use them, and don't have unused energy either, this guild's benefits are drastically lessened. It's still the best for idle play though.

For tier 8, "Effulgent Asteroids" are the ones that increase all production for a while, at a base rate of x250 All Production for 10s. They're one of the rarest Strange Asteroids, but also have the highest scaling with Scanner levels. They're dark red and with a spiky yellow aura.

Ruffian - Unlocks upgrades focused on damage and quickly destroying your enemies.

Schemist - Unlocks upgrades focused on special abilities and an involved approach to combat.

Sentinel - Unlocks upgrades focused on defense and healing.

Focused on damage and quickly destroying your enemies.

Lets you tear through enemy waves during idle play, but you need to be able to go fast and keep your HP up. Best for rapid galaxy conquests once you can upgrade your ships quickly.

Focused on special abilities and an involved approach to combat.

Best for players who want to stay involved and use abilities constantly, especially using the Gecko ship.

The T6 upgrade applies even if you start a wave with 1 of a ship type (eg. a single Tortoise), while the T7 upgrade encourages specialising mostly into a single ship type. These upgrade can make you very powerful, even without active play.


Notes: Before patch 2.0.2, T8 "Energy Channelling" shield duration was 3s, and T9 "First Lizard Shooter" Gecko damage was 2x.

Focused on defense and healing.

Keeps your ships alive! These upgrades give loads of ways to heal your ships, letting you last much longer during queued battles. Best for true idle play, and for edging out victories during long battles.
