Defeats aren’t total losses. Throughout your run, you'll earn GP and coins to upgrade your character's Abilities, make your Buddy stronger, and purchase items or parts to help you survive. Also, don't forget to utilize the following to improve your chances of surviving in the tower:

- Equip your Buddy with parts to gain different stats and abilities.
- Utilize Charge Skills, Buddy Skills, items such as a Decoy, and explosive barrels strategically.
- Use the environment to your advantage and avoid getting swarmed by enemies.
- Position yourself strategically and dodge-roll to safety.
