Steel Fighters progression
For a stalled Steel Fighters climb, identify whether the problem is survival, damage or upgrade resources. The route below separates those decisions. It is an editorial checklist, not a proven fastest route or a promise of reaching a floor in a fixed time.
Evidence: LuvYaCoffee's floor 30 fight leads into the first-rebirth panel. The official description supports the arena, Junkyard and upgrade loop. It does not supply universal earnings per hour.
Work through the bottleneck
Use a repeatable floor to compare one change at a time. Do not infer a build problem from a single loss or buy an untested family solely because of its name.
| Stage or symptom | Next check | Limit of this advice |
|---|---|---|
| No usable robot | Check all six slots and equip the built robot | Follow current tutorial prompts |
| Robot dies before finishing | Compare Health and Defense previews | No boss-specific threshold established |
| Clear time or damage stalls | Compare Attack, Critical and final build stats | No universal upgrade order established |
| Not enough upgrade Scrap | Repeat a Junkyard delivery route | No measured best route published |
| First rebirth becomes available | Read the floor-30 reset panel | Later rebirth gates are not inferred |
Floor 30 and the first reset
Floor 30 is the first-rebirth gate observed on the 0-to-1 panel, not a documented gate for every later rebirth. If the fight blocks progress, compare survival and damage separately and collect Scrap for the upgrade you need.
Check the Perfect indicator if you assemble a matching set, then compare final stats against your current robot. No evidence here establishes that matching parts always win. Before rebirthing, read the reset preview and consider useful purchases with currencies that will reset.
Cash, Scrap and a route you can measure
The official description advertises Junkyard Scrap and a +50% Cash bonus for playing with friends. The bonus is stated for Cash, not Scrap; its exact scaling with multiple friends is not established here.
The research summary of Sportskeeda Update 1 notes reports a 25K arena Scrap cap per drop, exceptions for x2 Drops or Arena Frenzy, and 2.5x Scrap in the Space Junkyard. These are secondary-source patch claims, not a measured income rate or a verified Space unlock requirement.
To compare routes, keep boosts and title fixed, record starting Scrap, run the same delivery path for a timed interval, and compare net gains after upgrades or purchases. No separate Scrap article is needed until it adds data beyond this section.
Keep going

Questions
How do I reach floor 30?
Build and upgrade a usable robot, collect Scrap when upgrades stall, and test the fight again. This page has no verified minimum stats or guaranteed clear time.
Does every rebirth reset Cash and Scrap?
That reset is explicit on the first-rebirth panel. The full sequence of later rebirth panels has not been captured by this site.
