Tips for new players?

[YMIR THE FOUNDER]

I just started the game, I have a level 25 all rounder character and I made it to floor 9. I have used like 3 continues and 3 DM, is there anything else I should be wasting my DM on instead of deaths inside the tower or no? also why do character levels cap at 25, is there no other way to level up farther than 25 or do I have to use more special currency?

Don't spend it. You don't need it. What you need is to upgrade your equipment. That's all you ever need to progress; That and make new characters each time you can. You don't need to buy or spend death metal. That's why there is a crazy amount of grind near end game: but the start is easy to do. Pick your favorite weapon and any armour and upgrade upgrade upgrade;

There is subforum for new players and there is info about everything

Don't worry, you'll get more powerful fighters as you climb the Tower. Or rather, you'll get fighters with more potential and a higher cap.

A good piece of advice, I think, would be not to spread yourself too thin when it comes to R&D. You can research stuff here and there when you start the game, but you're gonna hit a wall of sort every 10th floor or so, so ideally after some time you'll want to pick a few weapons and pieces of armor you like and focus your R&D efforts on them so that you don't get destroyed too hard and find yourself with a bunch of useless crap that's too weak to be viable.

It's perfectly possible to go through the game without buying DM, you can make do with what you're given here and there. My advice would be to spend it on storage capacity so that you can stock more R&D material at your home base.

Also, once you're comfortably set, you should consider saving up some Kill Coins and spend 50000 every now and then at the Mushroom Club to get some Premium Decals. Premium Decals are like normal decals, except you don't waste them when your fighter gets killed or you scrap him/her for a better one. You can just take them off whenever you want. Expeditions help when you want to make some KC. I know it sounds like a lot right now, but once you're a bit further in the Tower, it gets more viable.

Whenever you get KC and SPLithium rewards in your reward chute at your base (where you get quest and Expedition rewards and such), don't necessarily grab it all immediately. Only take what you need, when you need it. Otherwise, the more cash and SPL you're holding "on your person", the more tempting a target you'll be for players in need of a quick cash-in, and your base is gonna get attacked.

Thats the cap level for 1 star fighters you unlock higher star ranked fighters as you progress through the tower. Any golden foods you get such as birds or fish save for the later unlocks as they give you a ton of xp.

Save your death metals for storage expantions or blueprints in the vending machine. Revivng is just a waste because you will die multiple times.

Floors 10,20,30 and 40 all have bosses if you're not sure you are ready for them then go back and upgrade you equipment some more you can never be over prepared.

I cant remember the link that has the locations for where to look for materials is but a quick google search will get you it. Floor 3 will be your friend for finding fabric type material like cotton.

You will need to upgrade your coin storage at some point which will require Splithium. The fastest way to farm that is by using the metro to invade other player bases. Downside is once you activate the metro you to will be open to invasions so just before you log out spend any killcoins or Splithium you have. Upgrades can be done in the metro area.

In the vending machine theres a weapon you can buy called the kamas (there are 2 types but this is the better one). If you're planning to play long term this weapon will become your best friend. Its expensive to buy but worth it.

Learn how to dodge or parry attacks. This game is not based around tanking hits but learning how to advoid taking damage. If you want to practice defending against a weapon type have a second fighter equip that weapon and place it in base defense. You can attack your own base as practice without causing any damage.

In the main room you'll see a machine that gives you missions. Check this whenever you play as the event missions can give you Death metal or materials you need for upgrades.

There will be times when you want to rage quit the game. When that happens just return to the lobby and take a break. Trying to progress will only cause you to make mistakes.

When you want to exit the game make sure you are in the lobby or the game will kill your character unless you have a sleeping bag.

Armor durability depletes by number of hits taken not damage done so if you need to smash someones armor quickly use a multi hit weapon like steam iron. ( Upgraded versions can carry you through the floors for a good while.)

The game is rough but beatable if you give it the time. The fights can be challenging but are satisfying. The main thing is to not force progress.

Welcome to Let it die. If you have problems just ask around, the game has a good community full of people that'll help. I'd recommend joining the games reddit page to. You can learn more just by reading the daily posts.

Also, if you die in the Tower and you're out of free revives (they're usually tied to special events, but these events are frequent enough that it took me a while to notice free revives weren't an all-time thing), you have several ways to get your Fighter back. You can get to the Floor where they died and kick their ass, you can pay KC in the Freezer to get them back instantly or you can scrap them and make another Fighter instead.

The "best" way is to pay the KC fee. It gets really expensive on higher floors, but you'll not only get your Fighter back, you'll also retrieve their inventory. Pretty useful if you grabbed a bunch of unknown blueprints before dying.

If you kill your "haterified" Fighter, you'll only get the Fighter back, their inventory will be forfeited.

Uswe death metals to expand storage.
You will need around i say 100-200 for starters , and you need to start leveling collector class
Collect that mats and start upgrading weapons and armors
Focus on 1-2 weapons at the start , same goes for the armor
I sugest Iron for weapon that alone can finish the game for you

Not sure about that one. I've raided bases which had no fighters whatsoever.

Can confirm, i run into the base, doors opened i enter the main room, destroyed spilithium and kill coins banks.

spend a few on storage upgrades

[Ominous187]

also any person you're not using anymore use them as storage. save your coin and spt you have earned from doing missions/raid rewards in the reward box until you need them as no one can take it away.

if you have a ton of space in the reward box use a one day pass and leave w.e items you want stored in the 10 extra spots. it will give them back in the reward box when the pass expires. also while using a pass any attacks on you while out will be insured and you wont lose anything. just dont waste a pass only for storage. try to line it up with other stuff to get the most out of it.

save gold and silver umbrella shrooms, eat bronze. gold shrooms are worth 50k, silver is 7k,bronze is 2k. they all give 100 xp so id rather eat 2k than 50k. if you save the bronze and give them to newer characters. its a good way to lvl them up faster and get a head start on their stats.

most of your supplies can be bought for 20k coins in 5 packs in the vending machine and single one for 5k in the daily pool in the vending machine. useful for upgrading things faster without needing to grind. there are also rare and useful mushrooms you can buy as well.

lvl up the firework launcher until it has fire properties. then you can use it to shoot any food source cooking it on the spot after you target it. its a good way of getting food fast and not needing to chase it down then find a fire to cook it. plus cooked food gives double the xp so just eat everything after saving a few for hp unless you need the shrooms from them.

Ah ok gold shroom, not the gold pumpkins. They worth 10 :P

yes =p lol. i hope the info helps. the gold/silver shrooms should be back after the event is over.

I didnt know this, learned by watching speedruns.
You can eat golden animals to earn huge amount of XP for fighters.
Thats best way to level up new fighters fast.
