Wheels and Armor
At the beginning of each run, the Stagecoach will start with 2 Wheels and 2  Armor, and these can be upgraded up in the Altar of Hope for +1 max each, and further more with Stagecoach equipment. Having both Armor and Wheels at maximum will give buffs to the heroes in combat and during the journey.

Certain Roads will damage the Stagecoach's Wheels or  Armor, reducing its respective level by one. and may be repaired at the Wainwright for a base cost of 8  each. Once all of one type have been destroyed, the party is in danger of being ambushed by Pillagers.

Roads
Nodes are connected by Roads. There are five different types of roads, most of which present some type of hazard, and only one of which is neutral.

If the Stagecoach traverses a Hazardous or Rough road with no or, respectively, the party will be ambushed by Pillagers. Additionally, there are various pieces of debris littered on the roads; running over this debris with the Stagecoach has a chance of generating loot.

Scouting


Some nodes and roads may be hidden when entering a region. There are a large number of factors affecting scouting chance, including hero quirks, Stagecoach Items, Pets and region goals and modifiers. Notably, the Watchtower node reveals subsequent locations in the region. Additionally, certain goals (e.g. "Avoid the Hospital", or "Clear a Creature Den") will always reveal the node to be visited or avoided.

Upgrades
The stagecoach can be upgraded at The Intrepid Coast to have an increased inventory, more upgrade slots, more maximum  Wheels and  Armor, as well as Pets and multiple skins for the player to choose from.

The player will start with only one slot for Stagecoach Equipment and this can be upgraded to 4. In addition there are three extra slots for the Flame, the Trophies and Pets. All Stagecoach equipment, trophies and Pets can only be equipped in The Wainwright and inside the region they cannot be unequipped until the next Inn. Once equipped Pets and The Infernal torch cannot be removed in any way.
