Chivalware Guides
Chivalware is a tile-matching action roguelite from Regal Pigeon and The Arcade Crew / Dotemu. The public demo and official store page point to grid combat, weapon-disk charging, four Disk Knights, 80+ weapons, 150+ upgrades, bosses, and build variety. These guides stay practical: they help you choose what to try next without pretending the launch build is already solved.

Chivalware guide route
Beginner Guide
Learn the first route habit: keep a readable grid, charge one weapon plan, and avoid chasing every upgrade tag.
GridGrid Control Guide
Use tile matches to open attack lanes, escape lanes, and charge windows instead of filling the board with panic movement.
Shield colorsShield Color Counter Guide
Choose matches by the attack color they create, avoid wasting the wrong color into shields, and decide when a smaller match is the safer counter.
WeaponsWeapon Disk Charging Guide
Turn weapon choices into charge jobs: quick clear, safe control, boss burst, recovery, or setup support.
Boss prepBoss Prep Guide
Check whether the run is losing to grid clutter, late charge timing, unsafe greed, or a mismatched Disk Knight plan.

How to use this guide page
Use this guide page as a decision trainer, not a solved build list. Chivalware's hook is that matching tiles, charging weapons, positioning, and attack timing all compete for attention. The safest early habit is to name the one pressure killing the run before taking another flashy upgrade.
- Open Beginner Guide if you are still asking what to upgrade first.
- Open Grid Control if the board gets crowded before weapons are ready.
- Open Shield Color Counter if a protected enemy makes your biggest match feel useless.
- Open Weapon Disk Charging if damage arrives too late or too greedily.
- Open Boss Prep if a good room-clear route fails when the boss starts pressuring space.
- Use Version Watch before trusting any demo route after a patch or launch update.
