XP Waste is a cozy idle skilling game built around one simple, satisfying goal: level every skill to 99. Tap a big, thematic training object to earn experience — chop a tree, cast a line, throw a punch. As a skill grows, its training method upgrades into something new and more powerful, and every tap is worth more. Set skills to train passively, bank Energy for explosive Supercharge bursts, and chase the ultimate flex: max level in all 23 skills. TRAIN 23 SKILLS TO 99 Four categories — Combat, Production, Utility, and Gathering — each with its own thematic training. Every skill uses an authentic, hard-earned experience curve where reaching 99 is a real achievement. Maxing all of them is the true endgame. METHODS THAT EVOLVE Training is never static. Each skill has six tiers of thematic progression that unlock as you level, and the on-screen object visibly upgrades as you climb — a small, frequent reward for every milestone. EVERY SKILL MAKES YOU STRONGER Leveling isn't just a number. Each of the 23 skills grants a permanent, account-wide perk that grows the more you train it. No two perks do the same thing — one widens your biggest hits, another deepens your Energy reserves, another even auto-taps for you — so there's always a reason to spread your taps. TRAIN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Assign skills to AFK slots and they earn experience passively — while the app is open and while it's closed. Come back to a welcome-back summary of everything your skills earned, and every level-up, while you were gone. Unlock more slots as your total level climbs. ENERGY & SUPERCHARGE Tapping has a chance to spark Energy. Bank enough and Supercharge a skill for a burst of multiplied XP per tap. In a hurry? An Energy Cell fills your bar instantly so you can burst right now. DAILY BOOST Activate a daily boost to multiply all experience for a few minutes — stack it with a Supercharge for an enormous payoff. Certain skills make your boosts stronger and last longer. RAIDS, DIARIES & XP LAMPS There's more to chase than taps. Run daily themed Raids for each skill group and work through Diary tasks as you hit milestones. Clear them to bank XP Lamps — one-time rewards you spend on any skill for an instant burst of progress. BUILT FOR IPHONE & IPAD A clean, native, universal experience designed to look and play great on every device, in every orientation on iPad. Play your way — grind combat, master the gathering skills, or spread your taps wide. It's your account. Push all 23 skills to 99, reach the max total level, and earn your place among the maxed. XP Waste is free to play. Optional token packs can speed up your bursts, but everything can be earned through play. No ads, no account required, and no internet connection needed — your progress lives on your device.

About

Yuusha Idle

Features
Read full description

Yuusha Idle is a pixel-art fantasy RPG that keeps playing after you close it. You build the hero; the hero does the fighting. Your class comes from the weapons you carry. Two daggers make an Assassin, sword and shield a Warrior, a scythe a Reaper, gauntlets a Brawler. There are 15 classes, and switching weapons switches the class without losing anything you've built. Each class spends its own resource. Wizards and the Paladin use mana. The Assassin, Archer, Rogue and Reaper use energy. The Warrior, Berserker, Knight, Guardian, Wanderer and Brawler build rage as they fight. You choose the gear, the talents and when each skill fires. After that the hero fights on its own, including up to 8 hours while the app is closed. There are nine zones, each with its own monsters and equipment. Mine, fish, gather herbs and cut wood for materials, then craft at the village forge. The recipe book lists every recipe by zone and what you still need to learn it. Trade with other players in the market, at a fixed price or by auction. The guild gives you contracts and rank exams. Raids put many heroes against a single boss and split the loot by damage dealt. Every zone has a crypt beneath it: go in alone or let the group finder put a party together. The Abyss is a turn-based descent where you draw cards against each monster and decide after every kill whether to go deeper or stop. Rebirth sends you back to level 1 with more power. It opens new skill lines and specializations. Fill the Echo bar before you rebirth and you unlock a harder Echo of the world, with more XP and rarer loot. Your account holds up to five heroes. Your main hero collects the loot and materials; the others level up alongside it. No pay to win. The shop sells skins, frames and auras, plus extra hero slots and storage. Nothing you buy makes a hero stronger.
