Reading the map before the fight starts and deciding what kind of trouble the run can afford.
Floor routing is the act of choosing a path through rooms, events, fights, shops, camps, or bosses. It rewards players who can evaluate their build's present strength and future needs.
Example
Slay the Spire route planning asks whether the deck can handle elites, needs a shop, or must reach a campfire before a boss.
Why it matters
Floor routing matters because it turns roguelikes from random sequences into strategic journeys.
