Core Mechanics & Gameplan

Ogre spikes as Axe levels up. Your goal is to accelerate leveling and keep enemies at bay until spin clears scale.

Weapons & Upgrade Path

• Axe — prioritize upgrades; duration/area scale it hard
• Aura — smooths the weak early waves
• Flamewalker — free damage while moving between orbs

Tome Priority & Why

• XP — fast-track Axe power curve
• Duration — longer spin uptime
• Area — bigger kill radius reduces surround
• Damage — pushes through elite HP thresholds

Step-by-step Route

Phase 1 (0–4 min) — Stabilize clear/survivability; grab your core Tome #1 and at least one crowd tool.
Phase 2 (4–8 min) — Finish main weapon upgrades; lock in Tomes #2–#3; start boss DPS plan.
Phase 3 (8+ min / Boss) — Cover weaknesses (shield/armor/evasion), add burst or DoT as needed; align cooldown windows for boss.

Mistakes to Avoid

• Greeding damage before wave-clear/safety is online.
• Ignoring shrine tempo and pot routes.
• Overcapping one stat (e.g., Crit or Move Speed) at the expense of Quantity/Cooldown.

Presets (Details)

Beginner — Rush XP → Duration, keep distance; circle farm mobs to feed Axe levels.

High-Curse — Stack Duration/Area before raw damage; add a single-target finisher later.

Notes

Don’t stand still too long pre-8min; you’re vulnerable before spin scales.
