Soundfall Tips for Beginners

1. Keep an Eye on the Chain Meter

At each level of Soundfall, you gain certain points that indicate how successfully you’ve completed the level. One of the best ways to gain these points is to increase the Chain Meter (located above the health bar). To increase your Chain Meter, you need to follow the metronome and attack your enemies to the beat of the music.

Chain Meter can be increased up to 20 levels or even more, which in turn will multiply your final score by x1.5-x2 and give many bonuses after the level.

However, skipping a beat can reset the counter and cancel all the bonuses you accumulated while passing the level.

2. Control Your Gold

Gold is an important part of Soundfall. The items in the store are not the cheapest, and the gold is not infinite. It’s important to monitor your gold balance and buy only the most necessary items.

Sometimes it makes sense to hold on to the gold and not buy anything so that after a few rounds you can fully stock up on new and stronger weapons.

3. Analyse the Attacks of Your Opponents

Soundfall has many different locations with a variety of opponents. Each of them has its own characteristics, defense, attacks, and more.

Some enemies are best killed quickly in close combat to prevent them from attacking from a distance. Other, larger enemies are better kept at a distance and attacked with ranged weapons, as they can do significant damage to you if you fail to dodge them.

4. Combine Weapons and Combat Styles

In Soundfall characters have both melee and ranged weapons. Of course, you can only use one of the two types, but you will have a much harder time getting through the game with it.

It is very important to combine melee and ranged attacks to kill enemies as quickly and effectively as possible.

Moreover, it will help you to find your own fighting style. For example, I prefer ranged attacks, which I often use, but if necessary, I switch to a melee weapon.

5. Use a Spread Shot Weapon

Soundfall has many locations and arenas where you have to fight many enemies at once. In such situations, a weapon that attacks multiple enemies is of great help to you.

As a matter of fact, such weapons have less damage, accuracy, and generally worse characteristics, but they allow you to kill crowds of enemies much faster.

6. Choose the Proper Armor

Armor is as much a part of Soundfall as weapons are. The right armor can greatly improve the gameplay and even save your character from death.

Armor can be found during a playthrough, however, the strongest gear can usually be purchased from the shop. The average cost of armor in the store can be from 500 to 650 gold, which is not cheap. Therefore, it is important to choose the right armor before buying.

If you’re having trouble with dodging the attacks, you might be better off looking at heavier armor that increases defense, absorbs more damage, can increase health, and so on.

7. Use the Ultimate Ability in Proper Time

Each character in Soundfall has its own ultimate ability that can deal massive damage to enemies. However, this ability has its own cooldown. Moreover, before use, you need to score enough points by killing monsters to charge the ability (the ultimate ability counter is under the character’s health bar).

Since this ability can only be used a few times per level, do not rush to use it immediately after charging. It is better to save it for the moment when you will fight many monsters at once, or for a boss fight.

8. Use Weapon with Special Abilities

The weapon, like armor, can provide special abilities and passive buffs that will greatly enhance your character. Moreover, it can be a decisive moment in some battles, especially on a difficult level of the game.

Some of the most effective weapon bonuses I have identified are the following:

• Character movement speed increase
• Additional damage per second
• Summation of attacks that multiply increases your damage

However, it is important to understand that in order to receive these bonuses, you need to shoot to the beat of the music.

9. Turn on the Metronome

If you find it difficult to play in time with the music, you can include a special metronome for yourself, which will help you get used to the beginning of the game. The metronome produces regular metric ticks to help you feel and keep the beat as you play. Once enabled, it will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen.

Initially, the metronome is disabled and does not appear on the player’s screen. To turn on the metronome, you need to go to the sound options menu and select one of the three metronome display options:

• Never: This is the default setting and removes the metronome from the game
• Always: The metronome is active and always on
• After no Recent On-beat Input: The metronome activates and adjusts to the song after you lose the beat

10. Try Your Own Music

In Soundfall you can import your music and the game will adapt to it. This can help you a lot, as you subconsciously already know exactly the rhythm of your favorite songs, which will help you keep pace in the game.
