I guess I could wait until I buy every single hack from Marina, then maybe my anxiety and panic will go away long enough for me to beat Order/Overlorder/Smollusk?
I didn’t even have max lives when I beat it. I had three. I also made the enemies weaker up to a certain floor. I also had the Floor reset which is useful.
Use a weapon you are comfortable with, if possible. I’m not sure if the weapons are given out randome or in a specific order. I myself beat it with the Brush.
Get hacks from Marin that fits to your play. You also unlock new hacks from playing. I suggest more lifes, weapon damage increase, and Pearl Drone assistance.
If possible, choose stages based on the reward. There is also a hack that make curtain rewards appear more often. And again, the Pearl Drone really Kicks!
