Playing Neo: The World Ends With You for the first time. Any tips or tricks?

My pin setup has been:

Rindo: Triangle button (of course) with the fire sword pin, it's an absolute beast of a pin when I first got it, Yukimitsu

Fret: Square button ice bubble pin. Reloads fast.

Nagi: R1 button light bomb pin, and I equip the helpful smartphone accessory that changes the R1-Charge requirement to a tap for instant attacks, real life saver

4th Party Member Beat : L2 Hold Time wind pin, it blows the enemies away and rapidly increases my groove to 300% when I pair it with the other members attacks just right

5th Party Member Shoka : Pin Grinder for pins I want to see the evolution of, or same as above which basically ensures me getting 300% every battle when I drop the beat just right; the boost grinder pin is helpful for this

That's for set 1. For set 2, I switch it up a bit:

Fret: Bomb pin. 1 time use that has this huge bomb which gives out massive damage IF I plant at the right spot at the right time

Nagi: Ice Frost chain pin, holds enemies in place AND makes them take damage while they're stuck

4th Party Member Beat : Darkness Sword Pin, just because its so fun to use. Otherwise it's a healing pin

5th Party Member Shoka : Vortex Pin, to suck up all the enemies onscreen and keep them in one place for the bomb that's about to go off on them
