So in my 3-4 months of playing the single player campaign and checking this wikia, I thought of some basic tips (that most players already know but I'm putting them anyway) to help a few players progress through the single player campaign (these tips are probably not necessary)

1. Ignore the gem weapons for now

The reason why should ignore the gem weapons is because most of the campaign is very doable with just the coin weapons

2. Bodyguards first, then Survival, end with Tournaments and Challenges (for most player levels)

The best way to avoid having difficult challengers (Trickster, etc.), is to fight a bodyguard (if you're capable) then grind in survival mode until you have enough coins/credits to buy the equipment for the next level. When you're done, play as many tournaments and challenges until you level up (If you're having trouble, upgrade all of your equipment by one intermediate level and continue gaining xp to level up. Grind in survival mode if needed)

3. Dealing with a challenger

The best way to deal with a challenger (Trickster-Nova) is by spending your coins/platinum on the equipment of your new player level before you fight him/her. You can't grind in survival mode without forfeiting the fight so you must make sure you have enough coins/platinum BEFORE you level up

4. Fighting demons (Levels 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36)

In these levels, it's okay to fight Tournaments and Challenges until fight no. 23. Use whatever you got to upgrade your equipment. Play survival matches until you have enough to fully upgrade all of your equipment. Fight the last Tournament and Challenge fights and finish the act by defeating the boss

5. Avoid enchanting unless if it's necessary

Just like how possible most of the campaign the campaign is with only the coin weapons, it is also mostly easy without any enchantments

6. Avoid replaying the demons until level 52

In eclipse mode, you can replay the bosses for their weapons but  I would recommend saving those weapons for later

7. Avoid playing Ascension until level 52

You might get the monk set too early by accident

8. Finish all of the Eclipse Survival matches before finishing the Gates of Shadows*


 * I found this out when it was too late for me (I'm too lazy to restart)

The eclipse survival achievements can only be achieved before this period

9. Fighting the Gates of Shadows (Level 37)

Play survival mode until you can max out all of your equipment and then finish the Gates of Shadows (make sure you do tip 8 first though)

10.Progressing through the interlude (Levels 38-43)

(10.1) For Levels 38-42

Play in survival mode until you can max out your equipment. Finish all of the tournaments and challenges after that. Play a few more survival matches until you have enough platinum to buy the equipment for the next level. End each segment by defeating the bosses (Lynx-Widow)

(10.2) For Level 43

Same thing except you don't need to save the tournaments/challenges for later or save any more platinum since they'll be useless after this level. End this segment by defeating the boss (Shogun)

11. It's okay to lose to Shroud (Level 44)

The battle with Shroud is intentionally rigged to make you almost lose so that Kali could rescue you

12. Finish the Factory Survival before defeating Cypher

There's another achievement you can only get before defeating Cypher

13. Dealing with Cypher (Chapter 1) and Ancient (Chapter 2) (Levels 45 & 48)

Max out your equipment by playing survival and then play more survival matches to get enough credits for the next level equipment. Finish all available matches and fight these bosses to level up

14. Dealing with Cronos (Level 46)

Factory Survival isn't available since Cronos is replacing it for now. Finish the Hideout Tournament and then upgrade your equipment as much as you can. Use whatever you have to finish Cronos and move on to Act VII: Chapter 2

15. Don't worry about the "Impossible" fight (Level 49)

The very first fight difficulty in the Stone Grove Challenge (post Ancient) says "Impossible" but it's actually very easy to win

16. Dealing with Shroud (Level 49)

Fully upgrade your equipment (you know how already). Fight any remaining challenges in the Stone Grove and move on to Act VII: Chapter 3

17. Dealing with Titan's Bodyguards (Levels 50-52)

If you're having a hard time with any of them, upgrade all of your equipment by one intermediate level until you can beat them

18. Reaching Level 52

You are now free to get the boss weapons/monk set since you reached the maximum player level.

19. Getting Closer (Fighting May)

Fully upgrade all of your level 52 equipment (you can finish the rest of the Spaceship Challenges and Stone Grove Tournament fights while doing so) and then finish May. You're one step away from ending the campaign

20. Destroying Titan and getting your body back

Defeating Titan might take you a few tries but you can do something like this...

Fight Titan with your normal level 52 equipment

If you're unable to do it, then try using the boss weapons (don't forget to upgrade them)

If you still can't, try using the monk set (again, don't forget to upgrade)

If all else fails, you can try experimenting with different enchantments

These are all of the basic tips I can think of (I'm sorry if they weren't useful)
