This page contains some general tips and tips against specific enemies.

Strafe like there's no tomorrow. Most enemies don't lead their projectiles so if you keep moving they'll miss.
Try to be in the air often. Along with strafing, this makes you much harder to hit, and makes it very difficult for grounded enemies to hit you. Make sure to utilize dashes along with this to avoid incoming projectiles that would be in your path.
Everything is predictable. Each opponent has a predictable pattern. Learn that pattern and you wont suffer so much as a scratch.
Focus on strafing and moving OVER shooting. It's more important to avoid damage than deal it out.
Take it easy. Mechanics can take a while to learn, so keep at it and it will click.

Being well rounded at 100 Health, Göll can start to focus on stat boosts and weapon upgrades earlier in a run, instead of focusing on health upgrades.
Göll's starting pistol is relatively weak. Exchanging it for a different weapon as early as possible is usually extremely beneficial.
Göll can utilize almost all equitable items very well, and does not need to find specific items to make a run easier.

Remember you can gain max HP upgrades as Freyr. Slowly building max Health over a run while keeping armor replenished is a generally helpful strategy.
Freyr starts with the Revolver. This is an all around good weapon for a majority of a run, as its base Range and Damage tend to be enough to kill common enemies in one or two shots each, especially if the player has an increased Damage stat.

With low Health and high Speed, players must use Hildr's speed to focus on dodging attacks.
Since Hildr starts off with a Key, players can find an early Spell, Weapon, or Equipment Item to aid in quickly moving through early floors.

Since Njord cannot equip any weapon, he can largely focus spending Coin on Health and Stat boosts. This is aided by Njord starting with 7 Coin for early purchases of Equipment in Huginn's Shop.

Players can reach high speeds by strafing in circles while flying with Odr. Use this to easily dodge attacks.
Don't get too greedy. The longer you spend in a floor, the more likely you are to get hit. Once you get decent weapon and good enough stats it is recommended to traverse the floors as quickly as possible.
