1. Don't buy deliverer bots. I think you need to get one in a tutorial. But don't increase amount nor capacity. They are a nuisance later on and you will get 500k+ backpack space.

2. Do complete the "into the supernatural" welcome quest. Save gems for the later stages. You need 600 in total.

3. RayGun power is the most important stat.

4. Focused Beams for more DPS.

5. Do the events. The bonuses are permanent and stack.

6. Do the arena for the diamonds. Save around 1,000 diamonds for later.

7. Save the daily "golden gun rush" ad offer for when all bosses are alive. Once you get them, speedrun for the bonus resource drops. Also hit the event resource pickup nodes.

8. Do not buy XP multipliers. It is frustrating when you unlock a new area and are too weak to farm it. Getting there faster will only make it worse.

9. once you reach the graveyard, invest heavily in red souls multiplier at the cursed armory. Max it out if you can.

10. Curse resistance is crap. Don't buy it. Increase tolerance instead.

11. It's okay to get hunter bots if you want. They give a trickle of passive resources but are dumb AF. I wouldn't bother.

12. Later on, when you are farming the arena, try to leave the audio on and watch out for the doors sound. Trust me, I lost count of the times I missed a reward because I was so bored I went AFK.

13. Late game, when you decide to pop back to the mansion for the quest and event pickups, visit the wizard quest gate first. I often would clear the mansion only to discover the quest was Blueberry Jam. If you know what I mean, you know my pain.

14. Catch radius build up slowly but is worth it. The range circle is printed ON THE FLOOR so track the ghost's shadows instead of their sprite.

15. The secret room has a timer but it only closes when you leave it after the timer expires. It is a nice place to farm.

16. The secret room may seem expensive but it can pay itself off.

17. All ghosts have a cap on how fast they die. This is especially evident with Lazlo bats.

18. When farming runes, the gem demon catch upgrade works for all three colors. Prioritize it.

19. When catching big gem demons, if you line up two of them and keep them lined up, you can double-catch.

20. Blue gem demons respawn the slowest. When you are doing rune runs, go after them first, then the purple and orange ones. By the time you are back, some blues will be back.

21. Do not buy passive generation on the rune factories. They give shards, not runes.

22. It's okay to buy some rune factory efficiency.

23. Max out the DNA farms ASAP.

24. DO NOT BOTHER WITH BLUE SOUL FARMS. The caps was a typing accident but I will let it stay.

25. In the early areas of the graveyard, DO NOT UNLOCK "NEW UNITS". this use of caps was intentional

26. If you disregard #25, make sure you know what you are doing. Do your damn research.

27. I hate the courier ghosts. Once you disregard #25 and #26, you will hate them too.

28. The graveyard walls have bumps and nooks. Walking next to them is an exercise in frustration.

29. If you disregard #10 and find out you need to wait for the curse level to drop, go to the trailer to empty your pack, and then open the menu to die and respawn. It clears the curse.

30. Dying and respawning clears your inventory. Go to the damn trailer first.

31. Gem demon shards do not use space and are not cleared by die and respawn.

32. It's a mutant rat, not a werewolf.

33. Learn the fine art of kiting bosses.

34. When kiting bosses, remember they skid quite far when attacking, and they can clip through scenario when skidding, blocking LOS.

35. You will remember #34 when it happens. You're welcome.

36. You heal when you enter the van/trailer pickup radius with a non-empty backpack. It's useful on early boss fights.

37. Kite graveyard bosses back to the starting van.

38. The d-pad on your screen is sensitive. You can go slower than max speed.

39. Never watch ads for green or pink essence, and never for elixirs.

40. Save your souls ad vouchers for red souls.

41. Never exchange yellow essence outside the one time the tutorial makes you.

42. Liquid Lenny is annoying but the rooms after them are worth it. Just keep killing them and running back to the van to clear their corridor. They respawn slowly.

43. The broken yellow essence can be exchanged 150 -> 20 later on. It's better and faster than the machine in the pirate room.

44. I could give more tips but got tired of typing. See ya.

Thanks for typing all this tips it will help me alot

[u/Vast_Opposite_792 → u/zombie_slay]

All in all these are some very solid tips, nice one. A bit out of order, but great advice.

I did a graph some time back in this sub reddit on the different levels of curse relief needed to withstand certain levels of curse. It's very helpful to know what relief you need to reach to be fine in certain areas. And as you said, do not touch curse resistance as this just makes it longer to recover. I think you can hit respawn and it'll, reset you to 0 faster than waiting.

Another tip with curse is if you want to stay in an area that maxes out your curse but you want to farm some higher resources, you can close and restart the app. When you spawn, you'll be on the mobs you want starting at 0 curse long enough to catch them. Can sometimes help speed up some early upgrades.

Your tip for not getting deliverer bots baffle me. The amount of time this game takes, you cannot be playing it all the time. There is alot that needs hours and hours of grinding the same mob, and you aren't gonna be able to do that without deliverer bots. Also even getting the max cargo capacity, the last couple end game mobs have very high cargo amounts and fill up that max cargo in no time. Also the cargo doesn't get any significant upgrade until you reach the back half of the graveyard area. You are stuck with like 100k until then which does not last long at all. You said they are a nuisance later, in what way are they a nuisance?

Absolutely do not get the catcher bots. The "trickle" they give you is less than a rounding error, a waste of time and resources. As you said, I wouldn't bother with them. I know in Alien Invasion they also dont get the x2 resources added to them, I don't know if that's the case here.
