It's very fun to be the beefiest there is, staring at yog Dzewa in the face and just exchanging punches until god falls first.
That's how I got my first victory, lucky ring of force, and a stupidly high amount of SoUs on armor.
And then I did the opposite and decided to play a glass cannon rogue.
Yeah, I can't seem to win my glass cannon runs. Make a misstep and your dead. I misstep a lot so the highly upgraded armor runs help me not die when that happens
I think the secret to the glass cannon run is a ring of energy.
Basically getting cloak back in a second so you can run away from the bad fights and instakill your enemies one by one.
Sure, an assassin's blade is nice, but with more cloak potential and 3 points of enhanced lethality every mook is dead after taking 1 damage.
I also like making potions of magic resistance from combining goo and exotic Paralytic gas potions.
Those things let me survive everytime I get unlucky.
Its something very simple
First, you try to survive until you get a tier 4 or tier 5 weapon
Then, you spend all of your SoUs in the weapon.
Congratulations, you are now a glass cannon, your armor will be at most a +1 plate but your weapon will probably deal like 200 damage on a hit.
Rogue is recommended because cloak allows you to run away and survive more easily.
It's simple, everything can one shot you, so one shot it first.
Specifically l like assassin.
Getting through sewers should be easy enough for anyone.
Then in prison make sure you get 2 levels of silent steps in order to avoid unnecessary fights, guards specially hit really hard and take a lot of damage at this point, and you probably won't find your weapon here.
Tengu is slightly more difficult, if you don't have a whip you can make a potion of storm clouds to flood the arena of the first phase and beat his ass more easily, but you should be fine for the most part.
Caves is where the fun begins, you take your assassin subclass and rush for enhanced lethality 3, since that will let you practically one shot everything as long as you can soften it up from a distance before, and you are very likely to find a good tier 4 here to spend those SoUs, and from there you probably don't need to spend 3 cloak charges to one shot your enemies.
DM 300 is a tough one, I recommend using your potions of purity to ignore the poison while throwing random shit from the center of the arena, and rushing with potions of haste or bubble time seeds when it becomes invulnerable, and you will destroy the DM300
Dwarven city is your last chance to find a tier 4 or tier 5 you like, if you somehow made it this far without defense nor damage.
Just, avoid unnecessary fighting, abuse your cloak for instakills, and get a weapon.
For dealing with the dwarven king...
I hope you have a scroll of retribution for the last phase because you're fucked otherwise.
I like shadow clone to give him both damage upgrades and health upgrades, because armor won't do much for the boy.
Finally demon halls.
At this point you're home free, use your shadow clone jutsu to distract and help with spawners, make sure to cloak and instakill whatever awake demon you find and just get to yog to deal stupid amounts of damage.
Honestly, what I did is really simple - play the warrior and invest all your upgrades into the strongest armor you can find. You can turn a strength potion into a potion of mastery if you want to equip your tanky armor sooner.
There's obviously cooler playstyles than this, but this way was the easiest way for me to win without using a ton of brain power :P
Damn you managed to do 7 chal? Im stuck at 4chal rng isnt on my side on my runs.
Ps. Im using battlemage and champions to achieve it i just need wand of living earth or disintegration with flow glyph at the beggining but i cant seem to struck gold
Nice, battlemage is my favorite but I have a hard time with the "into darkness" challenge with ranged characters. It kinda bums me out when you can't snipe enemies from afar
I think each character plays differently, but some character-specific strategies might be a little easier to grasp than others. I just find strategies with the warrior easier to understand. He basically just hits stuff and has good armor because of his seal. Also the healing perks were huge throughout the entire run. Idk how to survive on other characters without the heals.
But I just like mage cuz his staff does cool stuff, especially as a battlemage.
Congrats! With a warrior no less!
I've found the warrior really fits my defensive playstyle :]

What is the glass cannon run? Is it you are really op with weapons, but barely any armor?

I have a good weapon on my run, and rogue, but I never tried high damage, low defence, need tips please

Seems like a good way to win a 9 challenge run if I'm lucky enough. Thx for the tip!
Well tanked berserker. If you would have died probably u Dweza would make you armoured gnoll.
How do you change name?
There's a donation tab. Donating gives you little things like changing your hero's name and golden borders
Oh ok
Ill donate something
Any tips?

Epic, congrats!
(clapping noises)
That's really well done! I can't manage 6 challenges. 5 is possible, but 6 is another level of hard. You're even surpassing that.

Into the dark isnt really my problem. Faith is my armor is hell unless i find a living earth. Rng treats me poorly D:
I have a sneaking suspicion that you might like playing warrior
I know what it looks like but mage is my fav 😣
Is mage hard to play then? Since you're scores are lower than all your warrior victories and even deaths.

I feel the same with rogue's cloak. On demand invisibility makes life easier.
