Give the Top Cake to Top Chef, and he will give you the Spin Cake. While at first, it is not as effective as the Top Cake, Top Chef will give you practically an infinite supply of them, and the cake will become more effective as the game progresses.

Also, since you are given an infinite supply of them, that means you can sell them for infinite Dark Dollars. However, the cake only sells for $3, so it is rather inefficient to grind DD with the Spin Cake.

My tip for jevil " kinda obvius " :You literaly cant beat jevil if you dont get good at dodge. And dont forget use piruet on some turns that make his defense decrease, that iwll help the fight end faster, even on genocide or pacifist

Adding onto that, the effects on pirouette are not random. You can get some pretty good ones but you have to know which turn you're on, here are some good ones (that i copied and pasted from yt):
Turn 2: Lowers Jevil's defense by 4 unless already below -16
Turn 4: Decreases Jevil's Attack by 30% for this turn
Turn 6: 25-55 HP heal to a random party member
Turn 9: 36-50 HP heal to all party members
Also for dodging the circular spade attack, just go in between 2 spades before they attack and stay there the whole time and you won't get hit.

Also for Spamton NEO (especially if you do snowgrave, since its WAY faster than the normal route) hold down enter while spamming another attack key so that you can spam the [[big shot]] a lot faster. for example if you use Z for attack, hold ENTER down while spamming Z as fast as you can. It makes each turn much shorter but his attacks get stronger so memorize the attack patterns.

And you can skip the game over screen by spamming X, C, and ENTER so that you'll be instantly returned to where you were right after the soul shatters.

Also a really interesting one if you decide to use violence; when you use Rude Buster, press ENTER or Z (or whatever you use to attack) DURING Susie's attack animation but before it hits the enemy, because it deals a lot more damage.

During the battle with the music trio (which is a pretty long one) I believe that getting Kris killed will make Susie and Ralsei learn to ACT much sooner. Only problem is that I think the chances of hitting Kris are lower than the others, so maybe keep their HP really low before the battle.

Lastly you can skip quite a few parts of the game. At the start, you can inspect Kris's bed and it will give you an option to go back to sleep, and if you do you can skip the whole light world section (I think in both chapters). Also, before the legend in Ch1 you can tell Ralsei that you don't want to hear it (multiple times) and it will skip the cutscene. In Ch2, when Ralsei asks you if you're interested in what Susie and Noelle are doing, you can tell him that you're not interested (multiple times) and you can skip the ferris wheel scene (this is known as the "Lesbian Skip")

I didn't mean to write this much oops
