* If you think you even might play the game at some point, I'd suggest loading it up and create your account, etc. There are events that take place over time and they reward everyone with an account made before certain dates. As it's a F2P game you want to have as much free premium currency coming your way as possible. | * If you think you even might play the game at some point, I'd suggest loading it up and create your account, etc. There are events that take place over time and they reward everyone with an account made before certain dates.

* On a similar note, if you have PS+ there is a one-time free pack you can purchase/download which gives you some decent items but also more free premium currency. More than enough to help you get started. If you want, there is a further one-time IAP currency package you can buy for roughly $5 which provides a lot of bang for your buck. | * On a similar note, if you have PS+ there is a one-time free pack you can purchase/download which gives you some decent items but also more free premium currency.

* That said, so far there's no real need to worry about the necessity of IAP. The game plays fine without investing a cent. | * That said, so far there's no real need to worry about the necessity of IAP. The game plays fine without investing a cent. | ||
* As a last tip for those "just setting up an account" for later, while there is a multiplayer raid system ("Tokyo Death Metro") which you can run afoul of (and to which two of the three currencies can be stolen from you), you have to get through the first three levels and the first miniboss before it unlocks. Even then, it's technically optional to opt-in when it does. | * As a last tip for those "just setting up an account" for later, while there is a multiplayer raid system ("Tokyo Death Metro") which you can run afoul of (and to which two of the three currencies can be stolen from you), you have to get through the first three levels and the first miniboss before it unlocks.

* The three currencies from most precious to least are Death Metals (rainbow skulls), SPLithium (blue and white flame) and Kill Coins (gold coins). You can periodically get DMs through daily login bonuses, etc. but generally they are the purchased IAP. They can be used to continue without penalty when you die, or used to expand your storage box in your Waiting Room (home base between runs). I would tend to recommend using them for the latter at first. SPL is generally found from beating particularly difficult special enemies, or by different forms of raiding, and it's mostly used in large quantities to upgrade your Waiting Room (after TDM unlocks) or else small quantities to research Blueprints that let you purchase your own weapons/armor. Kill Coins are what you get as drops and also from selling gear, used to buy Decals (equipment perks), your Blueprinted gear or else to use the elevator to get to and from the Waiting Room and different floors quickly. | * The three currencies from most precious to least are Death Metals (rainbow skulls), SPLithium (blue and white flame) and Kill Coins (gold coins).

* Your overall account remembers weapon masteries and controls overall currency and storage items. Your avatars (Fighters) can be destroyed and lose Decals and carried equipment, but you can always make some progress. | * Your overall account remembers weapon masteries and controls overall currency and storage items.

* Weapons you find early on are very low durability and tend to break at the worst moments. Start by using your fists (in a basic LRL or RLR combo) instead. Weapons "level up" when they actually kill enemies and every level has its own perk. Eventually (Level 5 Mastery) you will get a special heavy attack move for the fists which makes the game much easier at the beginning. Wait until you get blueprints to focus on any other weapons. | * Weapons you find early on are very low durability and tend to break at the worst moments.

* Your best healing items at the beginning are (cooked) frogs. Always keep a firework gun (fairly commonly found) on hand as locking onto and shooting frogs cooks them immediately in the field. | * Your best healing items at the beginning are (cooked) frogs.

* Magnum revolvers are really handy for those "particularly difficult special enemies", especially those apparently much higher level than you. Rare, but worth keeping one on hand as well. | * Magnum revolvers are really handy for those "particularly difficult special enemies", especially those apparently much higher level than you.

* Elevators only have stops at floors that are on the same vertical line as the floors appear in the overall floorplan. Bear that in mind when trying to get back safe with your loot. | * Elevators only have stops at floors that are on the same vertical line as the floors appear in the overall floorplan.

* Eventually you will want to unlock and activate the TDM to progress (as it allows you to increase your Fighter count, KC/SPL bank size, and levels/types your Fighters can be). Take your time getting there and maxing out the levels on two or three Fighters first. Once you activate TDM, keep your non-DM currency counts low, tied up in stored items or else rewards in the reward box until you actually need them so they can't be raided. | * Eventually you will want to unlock and activate the TDM to progress (as it allows you to increase your Fighter count, KC/SPL bank size, and levels/types your Fighters can be).

* There's a new vending machine in the Waiting Room ("Hernia") that has daily and weekly items that you can purchase with either Kill Coins or Death Metal. Sometimes, high-level or otherwise pain in the ass materials can be bought with KC and it would be wise to snap them up whenever you get the chance. There's some other things Hernia can do, but it's meant for people who are going to be spending time in the post-game, or at least going to be grinding for a while. If you've cleared the game already and stopped playing since: Yeah, there's a post-game now. | |||
* In the event that you see an enemy in the way that you can't possibly sneak past, you can throw a mushroom (that won't blow up) as a lure and then suplex them. | |||
* You'll want to level up the Fists Mastery as much as you can while you play the game because you're inevitably going to run into a few situations where your weapons break and you still need to take someone down. It will take a long, long time before you hit Level 20 but it's worth it in the end. | |||
* When something goes wrong, just cut and run. If you don't see yourself making it back to the Waiting Room, at least try to die on as low a floor as possible to reduce retrieval costs. | |||
* When you unlock the next tier of Fighter, dumpster the current ones and move onto the next. The difference in strength between a Rank 2 and a Rank 3, for example, is remarkable. | |||
