• Beginner Preset: Bananarang + Sword; Size → Quantity → Cooldown → Precision
• High-Curse Preset: Size → Quantity → Shield → Precision; swap to Dexecutioner if needed

Core Mechanics & Gameplan

Corrupted Sword needs stat help—use Size/Quantity to widen arcs and hit more targets, then add crit.

Weapons & Upgrade Path

• Corrupted Sword — laneing, benefits from size/quantity
• Dexecutioner — safer ranged option when density spikes
• Bananarang — buys space to set up melee lanes

Tome Priority & Why

• Size — widens melee coverage
• Quantity — extra slashes or projectiles
• Cooldown — more attack windows
• Precision (Crit) — late game boss scaling

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 — Use Bananarang to thin packs, then commit with Sword when windows open.

High-Curse — Prioritize Size/Quantity to stay safe; carry a ranged fallback.

Notes

Don’t force pure melee into bad density—flex into Dexecutioner if needed.
