Core Mechanics & Gameplan
Economy snowball that converts Luck into better drops, faster upgrades, and smoother runs.
Weapons & Upgrade Path
- Firestaff — Firestaff (safe ranged)
- Bananarang — Bananarang (pierce)
- Aura/Aegis — Aura/Aegis (safety)
Tome Priority & Why
- Luck — rationale depends on your kit; synergizes with this archetype’s multipliers.
- Quantity — rationale depends on your kit; synergizes with this archetype’s multipliers.
- Cooldown — rationale depends on your kit; synergizes with this archetype’s multipliers.
- Damage/Area — rationale depends on your kit; synergizes with this archetype’s multipliers.
Step-by-step Route
Phase 1 (0–4 min) — Stabilize wave-clear and safety; lock Tome #1, secure one tool for crowds and one for elites.
Phase 2 (4–8 min) — Finish main weapon upgrades; add Tome #2–#3; set up boss damage (burst or sustained).
Phase 3 (8+ min / Boss) — Cover weaknesses (Shield/Armor/Evasion), align cooldown windows, and kite smartly.
Common Mistakes
- Greeding damage before wave-clear is stable.
- Ignoring shrine tempo / pot routes.
- Overcapping one multiplier (e.g., Crit) and starving Quantity/Cooldown/Area.
- Taking Tome picks that conflict (e.g., heavy melee commit without defensive backup).
Map Notes & Matchups
- Open maps favor kiting and projectile arcs.
- Tight maps require early control (Aura/Aegis) and cooldown management.
- Elites with charges need spacing or grouping tools.
Patch Notes (keep updated)
- Track buffs/nerfs that change weapon/Tome priority.
