I still don't get how you're supposed to play, even on easy it's still too difficult because it gets to a point were enemies spawn that move faster than you and hit you from behind that even your rear facing attacks don't kill so you just die. Getting to the yellow markers just says something like "too many enemies around and they all need to be defeated" yet they never stop spawning
the big issue i made in vamprie survivors that also matters here:
do not build all items once, build one item up. For example the blonde starts with assault rifle - upgrade only thateverytime you get the chance. Time bomb also really strong, and so is sowrd, but importantly: take one weapon(musnt be the one you start with, time bomb is a good one) and level it up a few times. at lvl 4-6 they get insane, at lvl 9 they get really strong
Then go into the armory and see what item combines with what weapon. the way to read it is simple: the first row are weapons, the 2nd is the sper weapon
The 3rd row is the ancillary item
So sword - supersword -cooldown reduction thing (the blue flask), combine sword and blue flask
This works for every weapon.
make sure you get those, without them youre gonna lose at 20+ minutes, they also have their own weapons
Start at 10 minutes first, rush the objectives to unlock more, remember if you restart you keep all spend points, but not weapons or character unlocks. youcan keep going for a bit on your first go to grind, since that just revives all characters immediately but locks you out of the ending.
i hope this made sense,if not ill gladly help more.
if you cant upgrade your main weapon, choose a 2nd one, or fill out slots with the ancilklaries you need if theyre availible, hit reroll to get your weapon of choice instantly, or atleast your 2nd weapon of choice.
if you filled out all slots you cant get new stuff anymore so youll roll what you need eventually, but the weapon levels are way stronger then ancillary items early, so dont go for them if you can at all avoid it
One more thing
MOve in a bopx, especially with timebomb, run down for 2-3-4 seconds with assault rilfe then turn around and stand still, and get used to swords rythm before lvl 2 (if you turn away you can double hit). So go down for 2-3 seconds, then go right for 2-3 seconds,then go up for 2-3 seconds, then go left, that way youll also get the experience you got from farming this way.
One more thing. with evo points(you can get one on the easy green for example at 19 minuetsi f you have enough dps, to kill it when it spawns before 20) can be used to unlock MORE slots.
Weapons first THEN ancillaries, or if you wanna, go 1/1 so you can upgrade into ultimate ! theyre char bound however, means if you gameover and reset you might have to unlock the char first(do it on the blonde chick is basically what im sayin)
if needs be i can record a small video of a literal level 1 vanilla run with no upgrades if it helps
One last thing: The drones (starting weapon of crazy pink hair chick) are completely fucking broken, but they require an item you get in a 10 minute run from the easy tile in the far north, to upgrade. They are incredibly op, and props the bestsweep in the game, but they dont start strong.
