Drill Drill Drill Rift Tips 2

Weapons to avoid: Missiles, Plasmatron, Dice Buster, Dynamite Machine Gun, Circular Saw are okay-ish. For rifts or stages, skills with many multi-hits are good. You need to press DOWN, and also descend naturally. Fire Booster is fine for stages or event dungeons that seem tough to clear, but in rifts, it only gives a very slight upward boost, so I strongly advise against it. Also, if a spider lands on you, you consume 1 life but can use the DOWN gauge once. If you have no DOWN gauge at all and can't use it, I recommend sacrificing 1-2 lives to a spider to do so. I recommend pressing the DOWN button twice early on, and pressing DOWN when it's close to you. If you get Drill x3 and Mirrorball Magic (creates 2 treasure bubbles), definitely grab them. (Very good for both rifts and stages) As a bonus tip, I recommend upgrading planetary weapons before regular upgrades, especially focusing on Shell Storm. It continuously breaks walls in a fan shape, which is great.
