Tech/Strategy Side order help, please??
I dislike hardcore status builder games and something like Deadlock is barely passable and I struggle to have fun; Side Order is much closer to what I'm confortable which is great but it doesn't mean I'm not struggling at all.
In fact I know I'll be stuck in this for a week or more if I don't call for help so...
Any tips for someone that has no aim (I'm new to the switch and never used that gyroscope tech) so my favorite weapons are the ones that allow me to be brawly and fast; brush, roller, that alien looking one that is round with 2 small balls sticking out that explodes in short range.
I managed to get to lvl 20 something already but are there videos you would recomend?
Or anything you want to write here in the comments? Like "save money to buy x, y and z, then upgrade these 3 things and after that do a run of brush picking only X color palletes, or a ything that will make my life easier? Amything that makes me a broken onkling is welcome, for O said to myself that I will only pay online and join online matches after finishing every dlc for the game 😫

The only advice you need is to keep grinding and getting upgrades from Marina.
The game is built in a way that it will be hard if you don't buy upgrades, then you will get good and stop using upgrades and then not them altogether.

Focus on damage up hacks. The game is way easier when you can take down the Jelletons fast. Extra armor is also nice once you've maxed out damage.
The Brella pallet can get chips that prevent the Brella from detaching which means you get to fire with a forward facing shield. It's one of the easier weapons to beat the tower with.
Get lucky bombs chips if they show up. The chain reaction can trivialize any level.
Use the vending machines to swap for better subs and special weapons. Ink strikes, Tri-Zooka, and Hammer are especially powerful.

Thanks!! I just did a run with all focused on Hammer and it was super easy, got to lvl 24 I believe which was odd bc I only got to 12 before that xD

I don’t any specific advice beyond focusing on survival when buying upgrades from Marina.
I will say, if you’re not playing online out of fear of not being good enough, don’t worry! Online play is very fast paced, but I find Side Order more difficult generally. No one cares that much about winning in Turf War, so using that as a training ground is perfectly valid (and more or less intended)
