Trails are the best way to raise your Speed stat in +1 Karate Evolution, and they all cost Dragon Spirit. You earn that currency by clearing the Dragon Fight. The top option, the Ultimate Trail, gives you a 6.5x Speed multiplier for 30,000 Dragon Spirit.
Here's how to earn the currency, where to spend it and what each of the 11 Trails costs and does.
How to Get Trails in +1 Karate Evolution
The Trails Shop sits in the hub, right next to the entrance to the stages. It's where you unlock a Trail, and it's where you switch between them later. The whole route takes four steps:
- Find the Dragon Fight on the map and clear it.
- Check your Dragon Spirit count.
- Walk to the Trails Shop next to the stage entrances.
- Pick a Trail and spend the Dragon Spirit it costs to unlock it.
Earning Dragon Spirit
The Dragon Fight spawns on the map every few minutes. The exact timer isn't clear, so keep an eye on the map instead of planning around a clock.
How much one win pays isn't clear. Check your Dragon Spirit count after each win. It's also unclear whether the reward is added automatically or needs a separate pickup.
Spending Dragon Spirit at the Trails Shop
Each Trail has its own Dragon Spirit price. Check the shop before you save up for an expensive one. If a price on screen doesn't match the table below, trust the shop.
All 11 Trails and Their Dragon Spirit Costs
Dragon Spirit means two things in this list. It's the currency you earn, and it's also the name of one Trail. That Trail costs 9,000 Dragon Spirit, paid in the same currency as the rest. Use the cost column to decide what to aim for.
| Trail | Dragon Spirit cost | Speed multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Ki Trail | 150 | 1.5x |
| Lightning Dash | 400 | 2x |
| Dragonfire Trail | 800 | 2.5x |
| Sakura Trail | 1,500 | 3x |
| Enchanted Trail | 2,500 | 3.5x |
| Shadow Trail | 4,000 | 4x |
| Frost Trail | 6,000 | 4.5x |
| Dragon Spirit | 9,000 | 5x |
| Cursed Trail | 13,000 | 5.5x |
| Cosmic Trail | 20,000 | 6x |
| Ultimate Trail | 30,000 | 6.5x |
Costs climb much faster than the multipliers. Ki Trail is the cheapest way in at 150 Dragon Spirit for 1.5x. The Ultimate Trail costs 200 times as much for a multiplier about 4.3 times as high, so treat it as a long-term goal rather than a first buy.
What Trails Change and How to Switch Them
Each Trail multiplies your Speed stat and leaves its own visual effect behind your avatar while you move. Speed controls how fast you move around the hub, so the multiplier shows up when you cross between the different parts of the map. Every Trail looks different, so you can pick one for style as well as speed.
Switching is simple. Once a Trail is unlocked, go back to the Trails Shop and pick another one you own. Swap whenever you want a different look or a different speed boost.
Clear the next Dragon Fight and check your Dragon Spirit count.
