• The AI simply won't use certain items or techniques. For instance, don't bother equipping the MP restorers if you're doing an autobattle run; they won't use them. And healers only use the single-target heal, even when the all-target one would be better.
  
• The effectiveness of conjurers drops off fairly quickly. Dark mages are strictly superior, but if you don't have them yet in a given dimension, consider swapping in more knights or something. That said, while conjurers are effective, they are very effective.
  
• Healing spells will damage the sort of enemies you'd expect them to. Go ahead and try tapping on monsters with them; if the spell wouldn't damage them, it won't accept the command, so no harm trying.
  
• A knight in your party prevents trap rooms from showing up, so checking side rooms is usually a good idea. However, a warp is considered a good result, and you may disagree.
  
• If you have a thief in your party, it's because you want to steal. Steal early, steal often, and don't forget to have some way to refill MP.
  
• I don't see the point of merchants. Their 50/50 skill doesn't seem very good.
  
• When I'm manually doing a run, I like to start 20 levels behind the farthest point I could reach. It gives me more time to collect loot without wearing my resources down before I get to where I was. For autobattles, I generally start at level 1.
  
• Party order is important. I put my main healer first, so if the subhealer gets slept or something, I can heal him in time for him to take his turn. Then I put the subhealer (who can refill the MP of anyone who's low), the thief (so she gets a chance to steal before stuff dies), the dark mage (so she can nuke and maybe take out a target or two and save the knight's attack for something with more health), and lastly the knight.
  
• Per-turn effects only tick if you actually finish a turn. This is inconvenient about as often as it's convenient.
  
• The monster meat is utterly, utterly useless. As previously mentioned, it won't tick in battles where you kill everyone in the first round, and the HP it restores is laughably small.
  
• At some point during the run, it becomes more important to kill monsters than to do DPS. This moment comes earlier for conjurers than for dark mages, but it comes for both. Don't nerf your attack for the sake of more MP unless you're a healer.
  
• Advance to the next dimension as soon as you're able. You want the sodas and relics.
  
• I paid to remove ads, but voluntarily watching an ad when you enter a new dimension will give you the funds to unlock and equip a better class right away. If you're of a mind to drop cash on the game, note that anything you purchase with cash that goes away when you dimension-hop can be re-bought for free, so it's not a complete waste of money.
  
• You only get the 'new item' notification at the armory if you've never seen the item before. In your second and beyond dimensions, a few items will appear when they appeared before, but you'll have to manually look for them.
• Always buy your next party before buying anything else. It's just embarrassing to unlock some cool stuff, only to be stuck sending soda junkies through the dungeon to scrape up pocket lint.
