Rejected Draft Guide

Rejected Draft is a long-form incremental autobattler where you fight sketches, gain strength, choose upgrades, and push farther. When progress slows, prestige trades some progress for new resources and permanent power.

This wiki covers progression, feats, sketch names, collection systems, tips, and game information.

To start, fight Stick Man for +1 Attack and 2 Graphite, buy upgrades with NEW instead of ALL BUY in the shop so you see what unlocked, and check Redraw when progress stalls.
