Do not stay in one place, so you do not get hit by ranged attacks. If you do not move, you will quickly be surrounded and overwhelmed. Finding power-ups will also be easier if you stay in multiple places.

Collect as Many Green Crystals as Possible

Collect the green crystals to increase your level. You can check your progress at the top of the screen. You will advance a level and choose from valuable weapons, supplies, and evolution skills. The faster you level up, the quicker you can build your arsenal and get stronger.

Always Choose the Best Equipment

Improve your defense with the best equipment. Combining duplicates is an efficient strategy to boost your defense. In addition, investing in legendary tier items will help you survive the apocalypse, so upgrading is essential.

Collect and Look Out for Power-Ups

Keep your eye peeled for power-ups that you may find around the map. These will help you tremendously. For example, the magnet will pull all the crystals from over the map toward you and may cause you to level up multiple times. Remember, the faster the level, the quicker you will be able to level your equipment. You can also pick up a bomb that will kill all enemies on your screen, including bosses, giving you space to run or saving you from being overwhelmed.

Evolution Skills and Items Is the Way to Go

Do Not Get Greedy

It can sometimes be tempting to rush into a horde to get that big pile of crystals or that money. However, this will cost you a massive chunk of health or, at the worst event, your life. Remember that you can always move around until you clear the horde or come back later; there will always be more drops. Do not sacrifice your run; you will get even more money and Exp if you stay alive.

Upgrade Your Passives

Most people overlook this but upgrading your passives after every run is always a good idea. This will make every subsequent run much easier than the one before, as you will be much stronger. So, remember to upgrade those passives, which is usually why you go on runs in the first place, to get stronger.
