A Cool Cybergrind Strategy

A simple strategy to use in the cybergrind for getting into later levels.

What to do when you first get in there:

So you want to cybergrind. But It's a little overwhelming already around level 7 or 8. No worries. This guide aims to give you a general Idea on what to do.
Step 1?

Slam storage jump into the skies and use all four coins.

Getting up high keeps you safe from *most* enemies and lets you assess what enemies are there and which to target. The four coins can be used to hit four targets and get INSANE score (up to SSShitstorm or ULTRAKILL) or it can be used for an ultraricoshot x4 to ♥♥♥♥ over a singular enemy.

A good general order of enemies to kill first goes so:

- Idols and Virtues, as the former is constantly pissing you off by keeping one random enemy alive (could be as meaningless as a filth or as run-ending as a gutterman) and the former can hit you no matter where you are and begins predicting you after a bit.

- Guttermen, Sentries, Guttertanks and Hideous Masses, as Guttermen and Sentries track you down and Guttertanks and Hideous Masses have big splash attacks that will hit you often.

- Sisyphean Insurrectionists and Mindflayers, as one has slow, targeted attacks and splash while the other has faster, homing attacks and chases you.

- Ferrymen and lessers (filth, strays, soldiers, drones, swordsmachines, Cerberi, Maurices, streetcleaners, schisms, strays and mannequins.) Ferrymen are easy to dodge by jumping, and the lightning is slow. Everything else has the same weakness of being easy to dodge or being slow.

Outside of the rankings are some exceptions. Enraged Ceberi are much faster and can be bumped up to around Sisyphean Insurrectionist- Mindflayer level. Maurices are great healers, either by parry or the actual maurice, so they may be killed when convenient (same goes for the other lessers)

The meat of the cybergrind sandwich:

Okay, so the Idols and Virtues are dead, and you took care of the guttermen and sentries. What comes next is a mess of trying not to die while killing everything that's left.

Weapons to utilize:

- Shotgun swapping and projectile boosting, former for bigger buddies and latter for groups of lessers (or lighting Insurrectionists on fire). Pump Shotgun especially against Maurices. Sawed-On Shotgun against Maurices, Cerberi, and lessers for healing on the go.

- Sawblade launcher with Magnets and overheat nailgun, former for groups or stationary big guys and latter for just big guys (another chance to set insurrectionists on fire). Jumpstart only if you can nail a lot of enemies for big area damage.

- Marksman for flighty, skittish enemies (mindflayers and lessers)

- Piercer and Sharpshooter are interchangeable mid-damaging weapons, one is just randomly better sometimes than the other.

- Rocket launchers can be used for: big bombs/jumps with malicious railcanon, rocket riding (its kinda risky) and hitting for some decent damage. Freeze frame can also be used against guttertanks but the timing is weird. Oil can be used against fire-vulnurable targets and lessers.

- Rockets themselves are aim-heavy weapons that deal high, small area damage.

- Electric railcanon for big damage, drill for a short period of near invincibility near a maurice or something and malicious for core nukes, hitting rockets or just killing lessers (not recommended, its kind of a waste)

- Use feedbacker unless: Killing idols or breaking guttermen shields OR killing lots of filth/lessers stylishly, in that case use the knuckleblaster.

- Whiplash can be utilized with pump shotgun (and blue shotgun but less so) to take out Maurices. (Thank you commenters) It can also be used to pick at high priority targets. It combos well with the Sawed-On Shotgun for Virtues and other various medium health enemies.

Cleanup

Most everything's dead, minus one or two lessers and maybe a mindflayer that you couldn't kill.

Stuff to do:

- Spam coins. If you're feeling zesty, spam coinpunches.

- Use any tactics mentioned before for killing big enemies. Doesn't matter now as your health and weapons recharge after every round.

And then you're off to repeat the cycle for the next round.

parring maurice's red projectile why using the whiplash in close range sets them up to be killed with a single shotgun blast, and i typicaly use a knuckleblaster punch at the same time to ensure it's enough damage.

[Sela]

i start with slam storage, throw all my coins, wait for them all to sparkle then shoot them

[O Porralokinha]

Parrying maurices orbs not only deals pretty good damage to him, if not outright instakilling, but also work as a quick heal

[TomekSel5056]

I kill murices with: Whiplash, Green shotgun (3 or 2 pumped), blue shotgun.

[SirSnausages]

4 coins + the slab ricochet is good

[Morris The Pet Rock]

i kill maurices quick by charging shotgun to red, whiplash, shoot, then do that again and its dead real quick. I also use this for virtues, but sometimes i just raincannon then hit it with anything else for a quick kill

[FEM&M INJECTOR]

one extra thing, if you hit a cerberus with a cannonball then parry the cannonball back into the same cerberus you just hit, it gives you a near instant kill on the cerberus. also, if you want to
A) instakill a maurice/sentry
or
B) deal about 80-90 percent of a hideous masses health
heres what to do
screwdriver railcannon, then shoot at anywhere on the maurice or sentry and for hideous masses it is more consistent on the tail. then, whiplash towards them (or whiplash then shoot them, thats what I do) then shoot it then punch the screwdriver shot out, as this deals five damage. that should be all that is required.
Have a good one, and cheers for the tips.

i always whiplash shotgun swap and knuckleblaster maurices, real quick kill

[Isabelle]

whiplash can be very helpful. it doesnt build hard damage when in ULTRAKILL style rank so you can whiplash a stray for free heals

[zaaccccccccc]

then you aint getting allat far in cybergrind
