Be The Final Boss Beginner Guide: Your First Session, Step by Step
A first-session walkthrough for new Be The Final Boss players: the core loop, first weapon, first units, checkpoints, and early skill tree priorities.
Quick answer
Play your first run with the starter units and the starting sword, then spend your first coins on a weapon tier — the Reinforced Halberd at 1,000 coins is a solid first goal. Roll at the Roll counter for extra units, and push to wave 25 to set your first checkpoint. After your first defeat, put coins into the skill tree's boss health, boss attack, and coin income nodes. Ignore the 240 Robux starter bundle, the 150,000-coin swords, and units priced in Souls for now.

Learn the core loop
A run is simple: place your fighters in front of the red chain, press FIGHT, and survive incoming hero waves. Your boss starts with about 1,000 health and early heroes go down in a few hits — the video shows roughly 120-health enemies in the first waves. You can also hit enemies yourself with your sword while your units do most of the work.
Every run works the same way: place your units, press FIGHT, and hold the red chain against incoming hero waves. - 2
Buy your first weapon upgrade
The starting sword falls off quickly. In the WEAPONS shop, early tiers cost a few hundred coins each — Iron Sword at 100, Steel Broadsword at 250 — and the video's first purchase was the Reinforced Halberd for 1,000 coins, followed by the Gilded Long Sword at 2,000. Weapon rows go up to six-figure prices, so ignore anything past the first two rows for now.
Sword tiers start around 100 coins per step; the channel's first purchase was the 1,000-coin Reinforced Halberd. - 3
Roll for your first units
Unless you pay, new fighters come from the Roll counter: hit Roll and hope for a good rarity — the video pulls an Uncommon Abomination on a normal roll. A Good Luck potion is sold nearby if you want to gamble on better odds. The 240 Robux advanced bundle that hands you a Bloody Gargoyle (normally a 200,000-coin unit) is optional; free-to-play rolls work fine early.
Without Robux, new units come from the Roll counter — rarity is random, so early Uncommon pulls like the Abomination are normal. - 4
Push to wave 25 for your first checkpoint
Checkpoints arrive every 25 waves. When you clear one, a CHECKPOINT CLEAR banner confirms your next run starts from that point — the video shows wave 50 cleared with the next run starting at wave 51. Dying is normal: a defeated run just restarts from your last checkpoint. Use the 2x speed toggle to move between checkpoints faster.
Checkpoints arrive every 25 waves. Clear wave 25, 50, or 75 and a failed run restarts from there instead of wave 1. - 5
Spend your first defeat in the skill tree
After a defeat, open the skill tree and buy upgrades in three visible categories: boss health, boss attack, and coin income. Coin income first makes later upgrades cheaper to reach. Keep ignoring expensive temptations — the 150,000-coin swords and units priced at 3,000 Souls come much later; unit slots are also limited early (the video shows 10 slots before they expand).
The skill tree turns early defeats into progress: boss health, boss attack, and coin income are the first coins worth spending.
