How to Increase Your Trailblaze Level Fast
| Jump to a Stage Guide! | |
|---|---|
Street Showdown |
Amateur Qualifiers |
Professional League |
Ultimate Showdown |
There are 4 main stages in Pixel Plane Rumble. As you beat each stage, you'll unlock more pixel planes and gain career points. After winning the Ultimate Showdown, you'll also unlock the Playoffs!
The Playoffs is an extended stage that lets you earn additional career points if you don't have enough to get all Tournament Salary rewards. Since the opponents here are randomized, we recommend using Crimson Bolt as it offers a lot of flexibility to offset the RNG.
| Best Plane | Recommended Equipment |
|---|---|
Steel Beast |
|
Equipment is ordered from left to right.
The Steel Beast plane is recommended for the Street Showdown. Its Fork and Knife Combo is the plane's primary damage dealer that becomes stronger based on your current Shield when it takes effect. Triggering SPD Boosts will also increase its Shield.
Try to get as much Shield equipment as possible to maintain a high Shield count. Firepower Youth King and Beret can also provide SPD Boosts for your equipment, allowing them to grant Shield at a faster pace.
| Best Plane | Recommended Equipment |
|---|---|
Silver Comet |
|
Equipment is ordered from left to right.
Silver Comet is recommended for the Amateur Qualifiers. The more Malfunctions you trigger, the more DMG Entry Prohibited gains. Malfunctions also provide a SPD Boost for the core module, so you can deal DMG at a faster rate.
Focus on getting Malfunction equipment to increase your core modules's DMG as much as possible. Equipment with shorter cooldown times will be especially helpful since they can apply Malfunctions quicker.
| Best Plane | Recommended Equipment |
|---|---|
Track Magic |
|
Equipment is ordered from left to right.
Track Magic is best used in the Professional League. Wish Upon a Star can increase the Burn of itself and all other equipment to the right of it. Additionally, it gains a SPD Boost when the equipment on its left activates.
Burn equipment can utilize the effects of the core module the most and continuously grow stronger. Place equipment with a shorter cooldown, like Eraser, in the leftmost slot so that it can help the core module grant its buffs faster.
| Best Plane | Recommended Equipment |
|---|---|
Crimson Bolt |
|
Equipment is ordered from left to right.
Crimson Bolt is recommended for the Ultimate Showdown. When your other equipment triggers Burn, Malfunction, Shield, or SPD Boost, Rotating Hourglass gains DMG. Try to trigger these effects as much you can to greatly increase the core module's DMG output.
Since the DMG gain can come from all effect types, you'll have more flexibility in building Crimson Bolt. However, it's ideal to get equipment with shorter cooldowns. When lining up the recommended equipment in the order above, they can provide SPD Boosts to each other and help boost DMG much faster.

In Pixel Plane Rumble, there are 4 dogfight stages to challenge. Completing these challenges will allow you to reign supreme in Planarcadia's classic air combat game and earn various rewards!

You can purchase different types of equipment to upgrade your aircraft. Each equipment has different effects, so try to grab the ones that suit your plane's core module! Take note that you can also upgrade your equipment up to 3-stars by purchasing duplicates of them.
If you don't have enough coins to buy more equipment, you can either sell spare equipment or get some from the Supply Platform. Winning battles and certain random events can also grant you extra coins!

Your plane must defeat the incoming opponents while surviving their attacks. Each stage has 5 zones, with each zone having 2 opponents to beat. The opponents get stronger in the latter zones, so be sure to upgrade your equipment as much as possible before the last zone!

Pixel Plane Rumble will reward players with a new Speech Bubble theme, Above the Firmament, to customize the appearance of their messages!
