How do you decide what to unlock next?

[shanytopper]

So much stuff to unlock, it's going to take forever to unlock everything (it's not a bad thing, it's a feature for all I care), but how do you plan what to unlock next?

Do you make long term goals? Do you just play something random and hope to unlock something along the way? Do you pick a short term goal from the unlocks screen that seems achievable and go for that? Do you have another method?

Scrolled the wiki to check which characters were interesting and unlocked them.
She-Moon my beloved.
Then, not being a fan of chances, I went after Rerolls, Skips and Seals in order to improve the RNG.
Everything else is yes, random, althought I tend to unlock as many DLC characters as possible to add variety to the gameplay

Usually I try to go for multiple things I can unlock in one single run first.

Failing that I try to follow sequences: Unlocking what I need to unlock the next step, leaving "dead ends" in unlocks for later. Toward the end, though I just follow the list, and do each entry in order. Nothing fancy in that

Yeah like Zephyr said, just try to unlock as many easy unlocks in one run as you can.

The one thing I do differently is that I DON'T follow the list once there are no more "multiple unlocks" possible run. What I do is: I figure out which one will be the easiest and I keep the hard ones for last. Like, there are a lot of unlocks that you can do in 5 minutes and quit the run.

(And for the record, I usually WOULD do full runs, even for unlocks that I can get in 5 minutes, but in this DLC, there is SOOOOOO much content, that I just gave up LOL).

((Fun fact: there is more content in this DLC alone than in the original VS! That's insane when you think about it!!!!!!))

Yep try to get as many unlocks as possible in a run. In most cases that be unlocking at a new character and a new weapon plus what ever new stuff you unlocked on the map.

I just look at stuff I like and go there first. For the rest just 'mostly' chronologically and some stuff random if I feel like it. Always try to grab extra/new evolutions if possible. I don't resort to a wiki or outside source unless I can't figure something out (basically ended up doing a few runs for 1 thing and got literally everything and still didn't get the evo. But unlike with most other evolutions, there's some that require a maxed out accessory and the one I needed just happened to be one I had not maxed out yet in a run in combination with that weapon).

Exception would be when I tackle the new secrets. Was already too vague to get a lot of them in the base game and scrolling through the list this seems no better. Too cryptic for my tastes.

i just take a look in the unlock screen and the first thing that looks like "can be unlocked easily" is what i go with. I don't really care in doing multiple things at the same time though, because i'll eventually unlock everything anyway

Anything you haven't evolved tends to unlock at least something. So at the very least I think one might as well try to evolve it in a current run you're doing.

That said I do suppose it depends on playstyle since I only look up stuff when I really can't figure something out. And most of my runs are full 30 minute runs. I know there's plenty of people who do look things up, focus solely on 1 or 2 things and then quit out when they have it. I personally think it's a bit of a shame since may miss out on playing around with a weapon evolution entirely.

My recommendation for new players is just, play the game and take different things each run. Don't worry about unlocks early on, basically everything you do unlocks something. Once you work the unlock list down a little by just playing the game, you can focus on specific things
