Hello, i have played this game a few hours and completed the tactical tutorial 1 about 4 times. I can only manage to get a bronze medal. I have also completed tactical tower new but not got a high enough score to earn a bronze medal. I have tried a few other towers but cannot complete them. Please can someone give advice or a guide to get me started? I love this game, tried collecting heat power up that give plus 30percent boost to health regeneration and saved lots of health potions until near the end so i finish with lots of health but still not enough score, I must be doing something wrong or missing something. Please help and sorry for beginner question but i really love this game and don't want to give up.

I'm having trouble making any headway in Pop Tactical Lord. I know it's supposed to be hard but I can only get to the second 'tier' of the tower that is one-way and I can't kill anything further. I just feel like I'm completely missing something. None of the floors on the first set seem like you could even remotely get some of the items no matter what order you take them, and even with a lot of medal use it doesn't really free it up that much. Am I just supposed to have a ton of sunstones?

Though it's possible to do a Pure Nexus run of Pop Tactical Lord and reach at least the first checkpoint, I didn't do it until my Sunstone count was somewhere in the mid-30s. The tower as a whole becomes much easier once you start collecting diamonds from the other towers.

But if you want some advice, I do have a couple of general points to make, the first one being that you want to collect as many Glory Keys and Winner's Keys as you can from each floor you do. Winner's Keys extend the quickly-depleting countdown timer that is your HP, and each Glory Key is equivalent to multiple standard keys that can be used to unlock a lot of good things. What this means is that, if you see a floor that has a lot of those two types of keys available (such as 1F), but you're not able to reach all of them at your current EXP level, you should delay doing that floor until your level is high enough that you can get to all of them.

The second tip is GET THE LIFE SWORD ASAP AND NEVER LET GO although this is slightly less true for a run that's intended to reach beyond the first checkpoint.
