The sequel to The World Ends With You, which fans waited to play for over a decade, finally came out at the end of July. In this new installment of the series, players will control Rindo and his friends as they participate in the Reapers' Game to determine their fate. Throughout their journey, they will go through many missions while learning Shibuya's secrets.
Players will come across many challenges that they could use some help with, whether it be a difficult fight or increasing their stats. These tips will surely help them master Neo: The World Ends With You.
10 You Can Buy Pins To Change Your Powers
Neo: The World Ends With You, like the original game in the series, has a unique combat system in which players will battle enemies and bosses by using pins, each of which has its own power.
As players earn money in the game, one of the most important things to spend it on is pins. This is especially important if they don't like the abilities that they have at the beginning of the campaign.
9 You Should Try Using Different Pins
Because there are so many pins, there are many times throughout the game where one of the ones that players have will be better than another. After losing to a specific enemy, rather than trying the same thing over and over, it is generally best to swap the pins players are currently using to try something new that can help them win the fight quicker.
Plus, this can make the game more fun as players will be able to find out which abilities they like using the most as they try each of them out.
8 Spend Friendship Points In The Social Network
The Social Network can help players out in many ways, whether it be changing the difficulty of the game, being able to get more food at restaurants, seeing how much HP a specific enemy has, and more.
In order to unlock these rewards, players need to earn Friendship Points and meet people all around Shibuya. Though this will take time, it is absolutely worth it due to how much players can get out of it, making the game easier when they need it to be.
7 You Can Decrease Your Level To Increase Drop Rate
Not only can players change how easy or hard Neo: The World Ends With You is by switching the difficulty, they can also lower their level, which decreases how much health they have while increasing the drop rate. This can be especially great against weak enemies since players will barely lose health anyway and receive greater rewards.
6 You Can Eat Food In Order To Increase Your Stats
There are many restaurants all around Shibuya. Players should visit them often and choose meals for Rindo and his friends to eat. Each item at a restaurant will increase a character's HP, attack, defense, and/or style.
Each character also had a preference on which foods they enjoy the most, and players should pay attention to this if they want to earn a Tasty Bonus. After the characters get too full to eat anymore, they'll have to fight some Noise before players can have them eat more.
5 Trying Different Threads Also Changes Your Stats
Like food, players can also increase their stats by getting different threads from Shibuya's shops. Players can get different hats, shirts, pants, shoes, and accessories, each of which has its own brands, such as Tigre PUNKS, Joli bécot, and Shepherd House. Each thread can change a character's HP, attack, and defense, as well as give them an ability.
4 Fight All The Noise You See
Like any other RPG, Neo: The World Ends With You will be much more challenging for anyone that doesn't gain EXP and level up, especially when fighting against a difficult boss. In order to avoid this, players should constantly search for Noise to fight against.
Though this can take a lot of time, it'll be much better to fight all the Noise they see than to constantly lose battles when they get too tough and have to grind for hours before progressing in the game.
3 Chain Battles Are A Quicker Way To Fight Noise
Neo: The World Ends With You allows players to fight multiple waves of Noise through chain battles. This can help them save some time and increase the drop rate. In fact, if players participate in chain battles while decreasing their level, this can significantly make the drop rate higher.
The only bad thing about chain battles is that if players die, they'll have to start over from the first wave, which can be frustrating if someone made it all the way to the fifth wave. Because of this, it is best to make sure to fight chain battles with Noise that are easy to defeat.
2 You Should Wait For The Right Moment To Use Your Groove Ability
The strongest power that players have when fighting Noise is their Groove ability. They can get this by using multiple pins at once. While players may not want to do this because they could be left defenseless as their pins recharge, it is best to try and avoid the Noise when this happens because if they fight with all of their pins at the same time, they'll earn their Groove ability much quicker.
It's also important to wait for the right moment to use a Groove ability. A good opportunity is at the beginning of a battle when a group of Noise are very close to each other; alternatively, Groove can be used on a Noise with a lot of HP.
1 Check Noisepedia To Get To Know Your Enemies More
Noisepedia is an encyclopedia in the game that will teach players more about their enemies. It contains information on the stats that they have, how many of that Noise players have defeated, how much EXP they'll get from defeating one of them, and what their weaknesses are.
Noisepedia will also reveal the same information about enemies that aren't noise, such as the other teams that Rindo and his friends need to fight throughout the game. If players use this information, they'll be able to defeat their enemies much more easily.
