Run Information

The game has an in-game clock that goes by when in a stage, moving the cursor on the world map or while at a Card Shop. You can stop the clock during a Mission by pressing Start and opening up the menu, allowing people doing a Single Segment (henceforth referred as SS) run to take breaks mid Mission.

VS Mode Card Betting

The difference between a SS run and a Multi Segment (MS) run is that, aside from optimization, MS runs can use VS Mode to bet over cards from one file to another, allowing one to cut a lot of the parts of the game where all you need is a card.

The cards that are necessary are Stone Golem, Hell Hound & God of Destruction. Recommended cards include any cards needed for a SS run that must be obtained via Card Shop or Mission End Prizes as well as Vampire (for the God of Harmony since you'll be skipping the Whyt region), Sand Worm (for the Runestone Caverns boss as well as any enemy under the effect of Time Stop/Tech Support!!) Golden Butterfly, Running Bird, Acid Cloud (for the Time Stop and Tech Support!! combos), Banshee (general usage, especially against Beelzebub), Basilisk (petrification is overpowered) and Mind Flayer (can one-off Mech monsters).

Notes

Lag Cancel

Alternating from one Weapon card to another takes less time than using the same card over and over. Note that you can use two copies of the same card as well. Mainly reserved for the Lizardman family.

Knockback

Some weapon cards (like Dragon Knight and Banshee) cause knockback on their targets when hit. This gives them invincibility frames when hit, making them only good for the final blow against the target. If an enemy has been stopped via the Time Stop or Tehc Support!! combos or petrified, they won't experience knockback and will remain susceptible to prolonged attacks (such as Sand Worm's A attack and Wraith).

Triggers and Text Boxes

If you need to activate a trigger quickly, hold R while mashing A. This way you won't waste time using cards at random when you could be spending that time activating and ending a boring animation. When it comes to dialogue, its faster to use B instead since it'll close out of the coversation.
