LBX: Little Battlers eXperience is Nintendo and Level-5’s latest Nintendo 3DS RPG. In it, players collect and customize robots to send into battle. The game is about forty to fifty hours long, but what happens when you’ve reached the end. Well, that’s when you can go ahead and start New Game+.

If you want the strongest robots in LBX, you’re going to have to start a New Game+ file. Aside from accessing an additional challenge, it’s the only way people can access some LBX models, attacks, or parts. However, it’s important to maximize your current save so as much as possible carries over.

Recruit as many of the 23 possible party members as you can in LBX. They carry over to the new save. 17 of them will join after the main story, so it should take you some time to recruit them.

Make sure each party member you have is carrying the armor sets you like best and put the most effort into. Those are the only ones you get to keep, and the levels do carry over. You will also get to keep any attack routines or weapon-related abilities you’ve earned.

Don’t feel bad about losing the armor and part pieces when you start a New Game+ file in LBX, though. While you only get to keep one set for each playable character, you will get Battle Points in exchange for everything you’re giving up. You can then use those to buy new parts when the new game begins.

LBX: Little Battlers eXperience is immediately available for the Nintendo 3DS for $39.99.
