I'm planning to run NG category.

I have two questions, so please give me answer them.

1. Can I use DLCs (including strong weapons, horses, and lots of money and EXP)?

2. If I run NG Chapter N (N=1, 2, 3,...) category, should I do A or B?

A. I prepare the save data that is cleared to chapter N-1. And, I run chapter N stages.

B. I prepare nothing (empty save data). And, I run chapter 1～N stages.

thanks.
