Tips for normal stage 4?

I cannto make it past 10 minutes even. Get overwhelmed regardless of build by then.

Some general tips are: buy more upgrades (specially SPD), prioritize a good collab or just play a safe character (like Fauna, Kiara, Sana). Or just keep playing, eventually the practice will pay off.

Yeah, most old-timers had the entire upgrade menu maxed out when 4 released. It's not required, but it works. After normal 2 or 3, try the first two hard stages before normal 4. And try pulling for dupes and clearing levels with different characters to up fandom levels, those stats help, and three skills maxed is nine free level ups

And don’t hesitate to use the bonuses granted by food in Holohouse: the 30% extra damage granted by the first recipe helps a lot to finish stage 4.

Mainly getting the upgrade tree filled out is the best way to get stronger although now we also have fan letters as another avenue to get stronger as well.

If you need holocoins fishing/mining/woodcutting. and workers are a way of getting it although if you get workers you will also need crops which cost holocoins to plant and require fertilizer to grow.
I use the same build every game with a slight change since a new collab got released that i swapped a old collab out for.
