• Strength: Adding Skill Points to strength will raise the damage you deal out every time you hit a foe with a melee attack.

• Magic: Increasing your magic attribute will raise the rate in which your magic meter refills and will raise the damage and overall power of your characters magic. You will also gain new magic abilities when you reach each of the faded purple Skill Point markers.

• Defense: This will increase your overall health.

• Agility: Adding Skill Points to agility will increase your attack speed, arrow range and damage dealt by arrows.

Leveling Up & the Boomerang Trick

Castle Crashers awards experience based on hits rather than damage. This means the more hits it takes you to kill an enemy, the more xp you will earn. This actually makes strength a counter productive stat to leveling.

The easiest and fastest way to level up is to exploit the leveling system in the game. For this you will need the boomerang (see below on how to attain it). The giraffe animal orb is optional, but highly advantageous as it makes you level faster.

Go to Pipistrello's Cave and move through the cave until you get to the large bat boss. Let him drop his turds then move to the top left corner and charge your boomerang, wait for the bat to almost arrive then launch the boomerang. It should get stuck behind him, continually doing damage. Block while the bat is attacking so you don't take damage. You should level up to whichever level you want in no time. This works on both the normal and insane game mode.

This trick can be done similarly at the Cat Fish boss. Drop into the stage and get onto whichever floating object is sent your way. As soon as the bubbles appear in the water, charge the boomerang and let it fly. As the cat fish rises, the boomerang will get stuck behind it rewarding fast and easy xp. Just block until the boss dies or submerges. Exit to map and you can go back in to repeat the process.

There are many other bosses to which the boomerang tricks works wonders. The barbarian boss is another prime target for the trick. He moves slow making it rather easy to hook the boomerang to his back. This will not only earn you quick xp, but it will earn you the massive treasure chest as well for a quick 100+ gold. This will also help with some rapid advancement when replaying as a new character after finishing the game.

• NOTE - The boomerang trick has been reported to cause a graphical glitch that requires an exit to dashboard to fix. This seems to occur when you level and kill the boss using the boomerang trick. Be wary of letting a boss die to the boomerang. If you do cause the graphical glitch, hit start, up, up, a, up, a. This is the sequence to get you back to the map which should save your stats before you head off to the dashboard.

The Traitor

This is an achievement where you need to defeat an enemy boss by playing as one of his on men. This doesn't mean that once you unlock a enemy character you can use him to defeat any boss to unlock this achievement. You actually need to defeat a boss with one of the soldiers of his level. The easiest and fastest way to do this, is to unlock the Barbarian character by defeating the King's Arena in the game. Now select to play as the Barbarian and simply fight your way through to the Barbarian Boss and defeat him. He is the first boss of the game, therefore playing as the Barbarian is the quickest way to achieve this requirement.
