The script is part of GG so yes, you need to be rooted. And I'm pretty sure it's a one-time purchase.

Talking about bans, have they been randomly issued to people who have tampered with ingame items (and/or speedhacks)? Or is there a ban wave daily, weekly (tour change), or leaderboard shift?

No problem and good luck. If you have any problems, it might be better to post on XDA forums (and particularly the ones for your device) as that's where you'll get the best help!

Familiarize yourself with what rooting is and what it does. There are hundreds of videos and articles about this. There are different ways to root different android devices and there isn't one method that does it all. Considering you're on stock, rooting and flashing a custom recovery would initially require a factory reset on your device (deleting everything) so make sure you back everything before you end up rooting and flashing a custom recovery. Magisk is required and serves as a way to have root privileges without other apps finding out your device has root - i.e. its a systemless root. MK Tour is one of many apps that can detect root, so you'd need Magisk to even play it. GG also needs to root to operate. It may seem a lot now but take your time. Make sure you know what you're doing so you don't risk a brick. Here's some links I found for your device to get you started 1 2

What do you mean? I was unaware of the root method provided by @esselunga, and I'm not familiar with any root method alternatives when it comes to app cloning. Even if there was, I don't think it'd make a difference.

That's great! I've been trying to get Parallel Space and App Cloner to work, but to no avail. Cheers for this, will try it out.
