complete danger D0 with all classes before attempting D5 with all?

[meeesj]

im thinking in terms of the rewards you get from completing a run with a class, is it better to have unlocked everything before attempting D5?

thanks

It's very possible and very fun to play D5 even without everything unlocked, and tbh I prefer the challenge. There's a few items (saver's for example) that do make D5 with certain characters much easier, though.

Yes it will make the game easier, that's why they are unlockables after all.

You have difficulty sliders in the option menu if you want to do it while being mostly afk/not trying.

Hope that help.

Are you good at these games?
unlock a couple of good items on D1 and then jump straight to D5
for example Golem is a nightmare if you first dont unlock Masochist weapon
Once you know your way low Danger levels become a chore

ive only completed wave 20 on 7 classes and 2 of them are D5, ive just moved one danger up for every run i completed but now that im trying a bunch of different classes im not getting anywhere on D5

yeah some really need specific items or unlocks to make the run much easier
Renegade item is extremely broken imo , and more those are better to just do in low Danger levels so then you can use them at Dange 5
but I have 70% all done in D5 and the rerst 20% on low danger and 10% not completed more or less

Some unlocks are beneficial, some just pollute the item pool.
Synergies of unlocks with the classes they represent are mostly thematic and often don't help to win the run.

Find an item list somewhere and check whether you want certain unlocks or not.

If you just want the unlocks so you can then play on D5 with everything available, you can grab a full save file here: https://www.darktwinge.com/skip-metaprogression-unlocks/brotato-save-file/
