General Tips
- If you want to get character-specific skills, make sure you focus on one or two character during Daily Life and give them gifts.
- Keep an eye out for Hidden Monokumas if you want to accumulate more coins. Their locations can be found here.
- Be sure to destroy letters during Hangman's Gambit so the board doesn't get too cluttered.
- Time is rarely an issue during Nonstop Debates. Accuracy is the key. So let the statements play out once or twice while you try to figure out the faulty statement/lie and the corresponding truth bullet.
- Remember that you can save statements later in the game during Nonstop Debates. Sometimes you don't have the truth bullet you need, so keep an eye out for statements that might help you.
- Keep track of your virtual pet. If you keep it healthy and it eventually transforms, you receive a special prize.
- Rebuttal Showdowns require players to slash an opponent's statement, which can be done with the analog stick or touchscreen. Try both out and see which one works best for you, because you have to be quick during these sections.
