After reaching stage 15, begin investing in companions. Start with the more expensive ones, which do more damage. Upgrade all of them several times. Although their base damage is not useful at the start, if you keep upgrading companions you will eventually reach a point where special skills for them will become available. This will increase their base damage or provide other bonuses.
Easy coins
Use the following trick after getting a set of powerful companions. Disable the auto screen lock feature on your device and make sure it is charging. Allow the game to run on its own, and your companions will eventually kill all monsters that spawn except for Bosses. However after getting defeated by their first Boss, they will only get regular monsters spawning from then on. You will get lots of coins by letting the game to simply remain this way.
Special powers
Get to Boss battles as soon as possible. Leave it if you cannot win, then return later when you have super skills ready or have just tapped a fairy and have a bonus. Both of those factors will make Boss battles much easier.

Upgrades
Invest in Tap Damage first, and increase it as much as possible. Ignore all other upgrades until stage 15. This will be your main source of damage for most of the early part of the game. You will need to save a lot of money before beginning to invest in Tap Damage. After a few upgrades, you will get an option to invest a larger amount for an extra bonus. Always select that option to maximize your Tap Damage.
