The total shopping receipts that can be possibly obtained is 87,200 in total but realistically, since the content is harder than Limbo, not everyone will be able to 100% complete UTTU and therefore should be careful selecting and purchasing items from the market in order not to miss out on more important items (further explained below).

Tips and Tricks to Beat 1.1 UTTU

Focus the Main Stage first

To kick things off, let's start with the main stage. As you progress through the stages, you'll encounter tickets that increase in difficulty. The higher the difficulty, the greater the drop rate for valuable rewards.

It's recommended to 'rush' through the main stages, particularly the early ones, to quickly accumulate U rewards and essential materials. Additionally, certain stages provide tickets to unlock higher difficulties, boosting your chances of acquiring better cards and selectors.

Maximizing Daily Tickets

Make the most of your five daily tickets. Delaying their use for more than two days may result in wasted tickets. Therefore, use them promptly to avoid reaching the 10-ticket limit. This strategy aligns with the importance of acquiring higher rarity cards early on, enabling you to maximize your efficiency in stage progression.

Understanding UTTU Stage Conditions

Before diving into the UTU stages, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the stage conditions. Certain stages impose unique buffs or debuffs, such as reduced leech-rate. Carefully reviewing these conditions is crucial for tailoring your team composition effectively. If you encounter difficulties, comprehending the stage conditions can be the key to overcoming these challenges.

For example, you don’t want to use a Solo Eternity team when you see that the leech rate is greatly reduced in a stage. Seeing this kind of limitation, you will then need to make adjustments to your team before tackling stages.

Selectors and Card Drops: Prioritize and Strategize

When acquiring selectors or cards with specific conditions, carefully review the stage conditions before proceeding. Understanding these conditions is essential for securing additional drops and obtaining the desired cards. Selecting the appropriate stage to farm is equally important, ensuring you prioritize the cards you need most.

Exercise patience when it comes to utilizing selectors. Instead of immediately opening them, continue with the standard process of acquiring cards through tickets. Only use selectors when you have a clear understanding of the cards you need, avoiding hasty decisions that might hinder your progress.

Merge System for Duplicate Cards

If you acquire multiple copies of the same card, utilize the merge system. This allows you to combine three cards of the same tier, potentially obtaining a higher-tier card. Keep in mind that Fame cards cannot be merged, emphasizing the importance of strategic use of Fame selectors.

Experimentation for Optimal Combos

Encourage experimentation with different card combinations to discover optimal strategies. While it's natural to stick to a familiar set of cards, retrying stages is free, providing an opportunity to explore new possibilities and potentially find more effective combos.

Diversify Your Team

Maintain a diverse team composition with various affinities, roles, and damage types. This versatility allows you to adapt to different stage conditions and challenges. Having a well-rounded team ensures flexibility in overcoming obstacles and progressing efficiently. Here is an example of a team you might be interested to use to beat UTTU stage 20.

Strategic Shop Purchases

Be mindful of your currency in the UTTU shop, as it may not be as abundant as you think. Prioritize essential items like the Crystal Casket before cosmetic purchases, as the latter may hinder your progress if not timed correctly.

Careful planning ensures you make the most of limited resources. This is important to know as a free-to-play player that might not be able to complete UTTU 100% and get all the shopping receipts. If anything, you must get the casket above all else and then purchase other things as you see fit for your account.

Conclusion

These tips aim to guide you through the UTU event, helping you start strong, avoid common mistakes, and optimize your progression. Feel free to share any additional tips or insights you may have in the comment section for this article.
