10 ‘Sunderfolk’ Tips To Help You And Your Party Thrive

If Dreamhaven’s Sunderfolk looks like a game that was built to support a wild mix of players, that’s because it is. Whether you’re the forever DM who runs strategy nights, the button-masher who usually sticks to fighting games, or the curious partner watching from the couch, this world is designed to meet you where you’re at and help you grow from there. These Sunderfolk tips are here to help you get the most out of that journey, no matter how you play.

1. Don’t Sell Items Early

It’s tempting to dump your inventory for gold, but many early-game items are better off in your pocket, especially once you begin upgrading the town. Instead of building tools from scratch, you can donate or repurpose existing items to improve different buildings. Check what your group needs before selling anything off.

2. Town NPCs Remember What You Say

Sunderfolk Arden

Conversations aren’t just flavor text. Many townsfolk in Arden have favor levels that can impact rewards (gold, items, or discounts) depending on how you treat them. For example, patting the bug in town nets you an extra 10 gold. It’s small, but savvy players and completionists will find a lot to love here.

3. Use Coordination Mode to Learn the Map

If you’re new to tactics games, Sunderfolk’s coordination mode is a must. It lets you pause and explore every tile on the board, making it easier to plan your movement or explain the battlefield to your friends. It’s not cheating—it’s part of the game’s smart design to encourage thoughtful play.

4. Pay Attention to the Terrain (Even When You’re Losing)

Sunderfolk Gameplay

Every mission is filled with tiny mechanics that reward creativity. Can you shove an enemy into lava? Bounce them off a wall? Lure them toward a trap? Losing a fight often means you missed a key interaction, not that the numbers were against you. Take your time and look around.

5. Don’t Be Afraid to Play the Host

You don’t need to control a character to be the glue in your group. The game supports fifth-player “guides” beautifully—perfect for players who want to teach the game or just enjoy the show. Let your friends experiment while you help them make sense of their fate decks and abilities.

6. Experiment With Silly Builds (Seriously)

One of the most joyful Sunderfolk tips? Go full chaos. Want to walk your Berserker through danger just to power up a bonus trait? Do it. Want to stack fire, throw barrels, and cause a mess? Go ahead. The game rewards experimentation, and sometimes “not optimal” is still wildly effective—and fun.

7. Play Through a Few Levels First If You’re Hosting

Sunderfolk Dialogue

If you’re the one introducing Sunderfolk to friends, it helps to run through the first few tutorial missions solo. This gives you a better sense of how abilities work, how the town grows, and how to guide new players without overwhelming them. It’s like being the host of a board game night—knowing what’s coming helps everyone else feel more at ease.

8. Don’t Rush Your Upgrades

Instead of upgrading every building at once, think about your team’s strengths. Are you relying on melee brawlers? Maybe the meal system should be first. Do you love fate deck customization? Focus on the forge. The town evolves with you—don’t treat it like a checklist.

9. There’s No Wrong Way to Play—But the Game Will Still Challenge You

Sunderfolk Key Art But Why Tho

This isn’t a tactics game that demands perfection, but it also doesn’t pull punches. You’ll often feel like you almost won—and that’s by design. Adjust your team comp, tweak your cards, and go back in. If you’re thinking critically, you’re already winning.

10. Trust the Game Is as Smart as You Are

Whether you’re talking to an NPC, choosing a dialogue option, or guessing how a spell might bounce, trust that Sunderfolk thought about it. If something feels like it should work, try it. The world is responsive, thoughtful, and often more alive than you think.


At its core, Sunderfolk isn’t about perfection—it’s about creativity, collaboration, and seeing what happens when you trust your instincts.

That might mean building a bonkers fire-walking Berserker. It might mean letting your younger sibling take the lead while you play navigator. It might even mean failing a mission three times and realizing, only then, the solution was right in front of you the whole time.

Whatever your story ends up being, the systems in Sunderfolk are designed to support it. So try things. Mess up. Pat the bug. And remember: this game is just as much yours as it is the person next to you.

Sunderfolk is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S.

I am just a guy who spends way to much time playing videos games, enjoys popcorn movies more than he should, owns too much nerdy memorabilia and has lots of opinions about all things pop culture. People often underestimate the effects a movie, an actor, or even a video game can have on someone. I wouldn’t be where I am today without pop culture.
