Hi everyone. Now that Glow has come out of beta I'm sure it's going to get a bit more attention from newer players. I made this guide a few months ago and reached #1 following it.

To make a quick summary...
Braccio and Taetyss are the only 2 adventurers with a win rate higher than their pick rate. In high ELO 2 player games these will be the only two adventurers picked. Noctiluca can be a decent 3rd option.
Re-roll tokens are needed unless you can naturally roll well. Taetyss gives these from the beginning but Braccio can be combined with any of the 3 companions that give these efficiently. Okans (wolfy leaf man) and Braccio are way too strong together for this reason. Losing points to re-roll dice in the first few rounds while saving re-roll tokens for the late game is the optimal strategy. Don't be scared to go all the way to 0 points in the first couple of rounds, you'll catch up later (but also don't overdo it and stay on 0 points for the first 6 rounds).
Mostly ignore the 20 point camp site on the map, it's not worth the effort to travel there. The 15 point camp site is much easier to get to and allows you to collect enough fireflies on the way by abusing the map. The route for that is illustrated in the video.
Work on your companion synergies first and worry about quantity of dice later.
Good luck everyone
