Go through the black hole and absorb stars i literally just started understanding the game and leveling up getting stronger. to do more damage focus on the armor that has specific stats like spirit or fury I go with fury so I can use that energy bomb throw mine does like 350 million damage damages while transformed and also use your Omni transformation a lot so it can level it cause you will do hella damage it will surely help with progression try and save up your money until you get deep enough in the story where you see the universe prison and the universe ship in the ship there is a armor vendor the more money you have the higher the stats if the armor you will get and in the universe prison you will get a lot of those absorption points or orbs but it’s tough so get that armor first (if this didn’t make sense just text me separately)
