Chain

Chains are a little odd to understand at first and don't have much use outside of specific items or the Marksman mastery whose gameplay revolves around the mechanic.

Chains are built up by pressing/clicking on cells on the same value in repeated succession. This can be when opening cells or when chording. Picking up items does not affect your chain in any way. A chain's value is simply which value cell you're clicking, the chain length is how many of that value cell you've clicked on, and the chain sum is the number you get when you add all the values you clicked on in the chain. If you chord a cell with a value of 3 2 turns in a row then you have a chain value of 3, a chain length of 2 turns, and a chain sum of 6. You can see all this information and more by hovering over your avatar.

Overflagging cells and using chording to remove each hidden cell 1 by 1 is generally the most effective way of building chains. The value of the chain is determined by whatever the value of the cell you clicked on is.
