🔧 RACCOIN Coin Plating Guide
Coin plating is one of the easiest ways to turn a solid run into a truly powerful one. The trick is not just choosing a strong plate. The real skill is plating the coin type that your run is most likely to score repeatedly for the rest of the climb.
How Coin Plating Works
Plating permanently upgrades a coin type for the rest of the run. Because that value compounds floor after floor, plating early is usually much stronger than plating perfectly but too late.
- Plate frequency first: the best target is often your most important repeated scorer
- Plate early when possible: floor-2 value beats floor-8 perfection in most normal runs
- Do not spread upgrades blindly: concentrate your best plating on the coin actually carrying the run
Best Platings
Gold Plating
The most universal and forgiving plating. It is best on coins you expect to score often, especially your core payout or economy piece.
Multi Plating
One of the highest-ceiling plates in combo and multiplier shells. It is at its best when the run already scales through chain length or MultiCoin usage.
Ice Plating
A control-heavy plating that shines when precise setup matters. It is especially strong in explosive runs that need coins to stay exactly where you want them.
Blast Plating
Great for passive board management. It is most valuable when the run wants a little more movement or conversion without spending extra drops.
Fire Plating
Best in chain-focused or explosive shells where turning filler into active chain fuel improves overall board value.
Seed Plating
Niche but useful in runs that truly want long passive growth and have enough time for the extra value to matter.
Best Targets By Build
- Multiplier runs: MultiCoin first, then your most frequent premium scorer
- Animal sustain: Cat or other repeatedly active animal pieces, not random one-off pickups
- Explosive setups: TNT or board-control pieces that make the detonation more reliable
- Transform finishers: Rainbow or the premium target Rainbow is most likely to copy
- Growth shells: Seed or other passive-value engines only if the run is still early enough to pay back
Best Targets By Character
Raccoon Manager
Usually wants Gold or Multi-style plating on the coins that feed his best scaling turns, especially MultiCoin.
Biologist
Wants plating that reinforces her sustain shell or turns frequent animal interactions into better board value.
Pyro
Gets the most from plating that improves detonation reliability and board control rather than from generic spread.
