Tap One deals you a series of categories — raw power, best Titan, speed, Survey Corps — and asks you to lock in the single Attack on Titan character who tops each one. You cannot reuse a character, so every pick you make takes an option away from a later category.
That restriction is the whole game. Spending your strongest character on the first category feels good and usually costs you two later ones, and the players who score highest are the ones who plan the whole sequence rather than answering each prompt in isolation.
How to Play AoT Tap One
A category appears with a set of characters to choose from. Tap the one you believe ranks highest in that category and your pick is locked in.
Each character can only be used once across the run, so the roster available to you shrinks as you go. The run continues until every category has been answered.
Scoring happens on the server once the run ends: each pick is compared against the ranking for its category, and your total plus your rank on the day are shown together.
How to Score Higher in Tap One
Look ahead before your first pick. If a character is the obvious answer to two categories, spend them on the one where the runner-up is weakest — that is where their absence would cost you most.
Keep your specialists for their own category. A character who is merely good at everything is a fine answer to a broad category like raw power; a character who dominates one narrow category should never be spent elsewhere.
Remember that the ranking is fixed and server-side, not a matter of taste. Picking the character the series actually treats as the strongest beats picking your favourite.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the same character twice?
No. Each character can only be locked in once per run, which is what makes the order of your picks matter.
How is my Tap One score decided?
On the server, by comparing each pick against the ranking for its category — the client never holds the answer key.
Is there a daily leaderboard?
Yes, your run is ranked against everyone who played that day.
How many runs do I get?
Several a day, so one bad opening pick does not end your chances for the day.
