CICADAMATA IT'S TRICKY Guide - Get 50,000 Points in One ZONE
Quick answer
Use larger Sphere 4 or Sphere 5 routes, high-value kills and multiplier uptime to reach 50,000 points in one ZONE TIME.
IT'S TRICKY requires 50,000 points in a single ZONE TIME.
Quick Answer
Use a larger Sphere 4 or Sphere 5 level, trigger ZONE near a dense scoring section, then chain high-value kills and Cores inside the multiplier window.
Why Sphere 4 Or 5?
Later levels usually give more room to route several scoring events into one window. Sphere 4 and Sphere 5 are good practice targets because the routes can contain more enemies, environmental kills and Core pickups than short early levels.
Scoring Priorities
| Action | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Spike / Void kills | Highest listed single kill value at 1,000 points |
| Dash kills | Better than normal kills and keeps movement forward |
| Core pickups | 750 points without requiring a fight |
| Starstruck | 4x state for the biggest scoring burst |
Route Method
- Learn the level path without caring about the achievement.
- Mark a dense enemy/Core section.
- Enter ZONE around 5,250 points.
- Keep scoring every few seconds so the window does not die.
- Reset if you spend too much of the window on empty travel.
For the full scoring system, use the DMND Point Farming Guide.
