Elites will start appearing more frequently. These enemies have increased health and often unique abilities. Focus them down quickly if possible, or kite them while clearing weaker enemies. In the shop, look for higher-tier weapons (Uncommon/Rare) and items that provide significant stat boosts. Medkit (+HP Regen) or Padding (+Armor) are excellent defensive choices. Offensively, consider items like Shuriken (piercing damage) or Laser Gun (consistent damage). Maintain good positioning to avoid being overwhelmed.
