There's really only two effective perk builds: You're either The Swordsman, strong against mobs; or The Rifleman, the boss killer.

All Swords: If you do run melee, try to run multiple uh swords because they have different movement tech. So then you can combine them together. that way you don't just get mauled in the middle of a mob.
- Extra run from Roomie
- Double jump from the Typhoon
- Dash from the Kinetic Blade.

Jump Balloon: this keeps you out of danger. Combine with Flowberry, Shockwaves, Teleports, and Double Jump for remain airborne indefinitely.

Criticals: Stack Every single critical perk you can get. When you stack them, you can do massive amounts of damage.

Life Leech/Health Kill:
massively increase your crit chance when using melee. Whatever you're doing, you need to be getting the crits because the crits are the key to scaling your damage.

Walkthrough

In the earliest part of the game, focus on looting as much as possible; get decent guns. Realistically, at this level, the first round of zombies will die instantly. So, you're just trying
Get multipliers by doing more rounds, you're going to get rewarded more for actually looting. This is the difference between being the number one score in the game or not.
It's best not to upgrade any of these weapons immediately because they're coming out common.

Once the zeds actually show up, destroy the crystals, get the rare chests thats the more efficient use of your currency that you use to upgrade weapons, the monster shard.
Pick up junk rifts. These are perfect for destroying crystals. Otherwise, use dynamite or cluster bombs. Your pickaxe can do the job as well, but

expect to be swarmed quickly and frequently.

Focus on getting assault rifles and explosives. These are excellent for the bosses.
Collect a bunch of heals and/or mobility items.
Certain weapons just do not increase in power. The problem with most weapons and gadgets (such as business turret) is they do not scale the health and damage that these zeds do.
Avoid Shotguns and SMGs; these are underpowered, their perks are awful and lack the range needed at higher difficulties.

Emote in the little dance area here and it will heal you.
The vending machine stuff is kind of a trap.
Your power as the rifleman is that you should be eliminating throwers and exploders. Keep them off your melee!
Swordsman focus on shielders!

Trying to go up and fight him with a sword is really not the best strategy at this point. You're like the mob manager if you're the melee guy.
Let the rifle guy focus on the boss; Stay away from final peely.
