Player Reviews

Players say: Sondok is “literally the golden queen.” She’s especially valued for her gold bonus—the most valuable resource in the late game. Players recommend upgrading her right after the main gatherers.

Place Sondok on gold veins—her signature bonus pays off. Don’t take her into battle: her domain is the economy. Keep her talents strictly in the gathering tree.
