Rockwell punishes sloppy prep because the run has more moving parts than a simple arena boss.
Use this as a pre-run board. It avoids exact patch-sensitive tribute numbers and focuses on what makes the run clean.
Before you book or farm
Confirm the survivor that needs the unlock, cluster, difficulty, tribute ownership, loot rules and proof method. The wrong survivor or vague difficulty wastes the whole window.
- Write the target difficulty in the ticket.
- Confirm who brings tributes.
- Define proof before the run starts.
Character, kit and roles
Each rider should know the job: tentacle focus, add control, callouts, emergency reset and what happens after a death. Consumables and backup kit should be split, not held by one player.
When a carry helps
A carry makes sense when your tribe has the character goal but not the clean team, prep or safe timing. It still needs written scope: difficulty, survivor, loot and proof.
Lock the run before anyone transfers
If Alpha Rockwell blocks Tek or character progress, compare boss carry options and use the tribute checklist first.
