Im going to tell you easiest way of surviving early to mid game
 
 

First upgrades

As for the first upgrade you realy want that spicy cooldown, if you are able buy at least 2 of them
 

 
 
Second upgrade is going to be pierce. 1 level of pierce is doubling your DPS, 1 is good enough
 

 
 
If you are lucky you can get both of them in first merchant. Chose one of thos upgrades or both if you can and go on
 
 
 

Second merchant

For the second merchant you encounter take another CD
 

 
 
And pierce
 

 
 
If non of present upgrades are there you can also take multishot
 

 
 
Dont get confused by it, it does not increase your bullet count but it spawns projectile that are ghost version of yours when enemy is killed by your bullet. Every level increases number of those projectiles by 1
 
 
 

Third merchant

From not you want to get at least one movement speed upgrade
 

 
 
it helps with squeezing through enemies for coins or you can take
 
 
Magnet for better coing pickup range
 

 
 
both of those upgrades are good, but magnet is better for safety, for now
 
 
Also its good moment to get 2 or 3 dmg upgrades
 

 
 
 

Fourth and further merchants

You want to focus on taking more CD to shoot faster
 

 
 
Pierce, for more clear
 
 

 
 
or if you dont get pierce take
 
 
Multishot; its worse than pierce but it still increases your clear speed
 

 
 
And of course pure damage, cause in order to survive you have to kill enemies quickly
 

 
 
For further merchants just take those upgrades in order like this
 
CD/DMG > pierce > CD/DMG > multishot
 
and you should be fine
 
 
 

Thank you
