Still can't believe I could rush the King with this one. The basic strategy revolves around the Wand, the cotton and the ring of Doom. The cotton makes the wand unusable for 1 turn, but that's not important.
You start each fight using this sequence: Ring --> Wand --> Ring x 6 --> Ethereal Shiv --> Key Sword X 3. You're free to replace sword attacks with Shield uses, since you could be taking a considerable damage afterwards...
Anyways, this build exchanges time for power, because the ring allows you to basically use it for free once per turn. The book is barely of any help since it poisons you and that's 3 HP you don't get back with the sword. I got the conductor for beating the boss and I must say that it looks very very nice for the build.
finished on floor 16, this is not the ultimate build, the lucky ring on (2, 2) can be replaced by another energy gem and the magic balls can be upgraded to 3/3. The final build is able to make ~1900 dmg in one turn.
Never thought I'd beat king without the Doru, but this crazy build did it with more ease than the Doru. I was very sceptical due to the complete lack of defence but I made it through. The pick did 63 damage with a +8 each turn.
edit: The lack of defence got me at floor 13 with multiple Sables.
Doru is OP for sure but good cleaver builds, rangers or spike, and potion tanks are also broken. also if you are ever having trouble with defense good subs (for me at least) are mega vampiristic, or mega healing buffs (sandwich, soup, and fish combo super OP) side note: wizard staff centred builds can be good as well but i never lucked out with mana or mana regen stuff
up past floor 700 now. decided to ditch all the shields in favor of more energy (not that i really need it yet).
Old setup: 19 x 3 = 57 attacks New setup: 9 x 9 = 81 attacks
Plus, I can trade energy for keys and luck ring storage to try to find more golden whetstones! I've decided i'm going to try to get to floor 1000 before i call it quits.
that's actually really smart when against enemies with spikes like king, but maybe think about or try getting cleansing flame to help against the reprecutioner and king
You should implement a report bug feature, or some other way of reporting a bug.
Here's the bug: The peridot that increases poison by 1 and reduces weapon damage by 1 increases self-poison on vampiric axe to 4 instead of adding 1 poison damage to enemies.
I should note that the assassin's dagger killcount is bugged; every tiem you pass 1k kills, it starts incrementing by a factor of 10 instead of just 1 (so 10 per kill at 1k, 100 per kill at 2k, etc...) at least i think that's what it's doing. the actual kill count is the +damage it's getting.
and yeah, i got lucky early by getting the dagger and shield spirit to keep things rolling. had plenty of room for lucky rings as well, so i found more golden whetstones. Also at one point hit a wheel-game with golden whetstones on it and blew through 1k gold trying to get as many as I could. think i got 6 or so off of it?
anyways, still playing this same save, i'm up past 600 floors now. I also hit another wheel game with whetstones, though i only got 4 out of it this time. I'll probably post another screenshot later :D
worth starting the game from Matthew or starting normally? i did both and each looks to have its own perks but i need somebody who has played longer to tell me
starting normally just gives you a lvl up, 3 out of 7 items (of your choice) starting from matthew can give you 5 things
2 uncommon items (could be bad)
10 extra max hp (a little extra safety)
1 rare item (could be the poison ivy(bad) or either key sword or teddy bear sword(both good)
become an archer (gives you a bow (not 4 wide) and arrows the bad thing is that you could get 2 short arrows and a crossbow but you can save scum or just not pick it)
the candle is a must-have for almost any run as it will get rid of thorns and thorns are a menace to cleaver builds. but the belt is kinda OP with cleaver as well
I did a full pacifist run after getting a shield scale from Matthew. Eventually you run into snakes that never attack, just poison, and so don't take damage from spikes. Maybe it's possible to replay until you get lucky and don't encounter snakes? Maybe there's another pacifist-ish way to kill them?
teddy bear sword but its very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very inefficient in endless even with 12 duct tapes
So I've noticed that when I play this on mobile(I know this game isn't intended to be played on mobile), when I exit the game and click continue for the second time, it bugs out and stops working, forcing me to exit & re run the game. I've been resetting for a few hours now so I can get a conductor from the boss, but I haven't gotten one after dozens of attempts - This on top of me having to exit the game to re-run makes it very frustrating. Is there a specific requirement to get a conductor from the boss, or is my luck just terrible?
Any better placements? I have no duct tape and the bricks and the coral are temporary. circled pavise has 2 haste circled cleaver has 2 golden whetstones and 4 rage
join the discord server and you'll find out on announcements and contest announcement, reply to me if you don't have discord and I'll tell you how to get steam key, because discord server is SO much better then itch.io backpack hero chat/comments
okay, so basically, there are contests everyone now and then, like every week or so, which the top 3 or the top results/players get free early access steam keys.
I'll notify you when the next event is on, and what it is :)
Starting out as an archer is rarely a good idea, because of the limited space; start with boring ol melee and blocking, then move on to archery when you have more space and hopefully more arrows. Focus mainly on horizontal expansion first, since you can go further that way and send your arrows through more empty spaces. Note that the arrows can all go in different directions, and don't have to make sense with how the bow is facing, if that makes arranging things easier. Make sure that you actually are firing all of your arrows; arranging them in certain ways could have them accidentally block each other from the bow. Archery works well with either of the extra energy items, since both benefit from empty spaces. With things like Belt of Knives or Stopwatch or to give you Rage or otherwise boost the power of all your attacks, sending the arrows through empty spaces becomes much less important, unless you are using the Poison arrows (those would do increasing amounts of damage like any other weapon, but the Poison amount only increases with empty spaces). Keep in mind that one of the Rare arrows Floats to the top, but also has special requirements to boost the damage, rather than benefitting from space. Things that increase in Rage when hit are dangerous if you can't kill them in one turn, since you will be hitting multiple times per energy, but Spikes are completely harmless to you, since your attacks are projectiles. If you are in the endgame but not Endless mode, if things go well enough you will do so much damage with each energy that you won't really need Block anymore; everything will just die before it can do anything dangerous. If you are in Endless, accept that you are probably gonna die in the first repeat of the third area, or maybe even the second if you get unlucky; very few types of builds can survive the Poison in those, and Archer is not one of them.

My New Favorite Meme Build!

I haven't tried a cleaver or archer build yet but I could never luck out with the mana stuff either
the reason on why rocket gives permanent damage to enemies is because B A R B E L L
rocket run anyone?

how do i get the new update
later
Someone took this version of your game and turned it into an Android app on the PlayStore, it might be nothing but figured I mention it here anyways.
did they change the name or something
It's a straight rip of this webgl
Club Build
that's actually really smart when against enemies with spikes like king, but maybe think about or try getting cleansing flame to help against the reprecutioner and king
i got a hercule pavise on floor 1 :D
teddy bear sword and guardian ring can be affected by rage and haste
do not spread this message
finally a decent cleaver run, 6 rage and 6 haste so far
Best run so far, 13k+ damage first energy. need moreee!!!
20 floors ahead of you I do 1340 dmg on first energy. Probably because i have no duct tape.
keep searching for the duct tape XD
you might do more damage if you put the red cleaver (third one line 2) the row below and the same with the fifth one too
i'll try, thanks for advice :D
Swap the left-most chef's hat with the gold cleaver from row 2, and see the difference in damage output. xD
eu tinha items muito bom e eu morri por causa do morcego e o veneno dele fiquei muito bravo
Tote's Flowering Cleaver is SUPER POWERFUL!!

The peridot that increases poison by 1 and reduces weapon damage by 1 increases self-poison on vampiric axe to 4 instead of adding 1 poison damage to enemies.
I think I probably got really lucky.. that last battle was crazy difficult though D":
I should probably start a new game, but I really want to see how far i can go before things just totally break down...
hot dang
bro what
I should note that the assassin's dagger killcount is bugged; every tiem you pass 1k kills, it starts incrementing by a factor of 10 instead of just 1 (so 10 per kill at 1k, 100 per kill at 2k, etc...) at least i think that's what it's doing. the actual kill count is the +damage it's getting.

anyways, still playing this same save, i'm up past 600 floors now. I also hit another wheel game with whetstones, though i only got 4 out of it this time. I'll probably post another screenshot later :D
worth starting the game from Matthew or starting normally? i did both and each looks to have its own perks but i need somebody who has played longer to tell me
i'd say it depends on what kind of build you want.
starting normally just gives you a lvl up, 3 out of 7 items (of your choice) starting from matthew can give you 5 things
anyone know what I should pick here for cleaver build?
consider that I have to verse king on floor 9 btw
the candle is a must-have for almost any run as it will get rid of thorns and thorns are a menace to cleaver builds. but the belt is kinda OP with cleaver as well
don't worry, I chose cleansing flame/candle
I DID THE TRICK, luckily though, I didn't get put up against king.
although, I died, but I quit, so I can try again against grandmaster Xd
Hey u said there is a discord server i have a discord how can i join the server?
Belt of knives i think

pacifist run
I did a full pacifist run after getting a shield scale from Matthew. Eventually you run into snakes that never attack, just poison, and so don't take damage from spikes.

How can you get the new version of the game with Tote ?
yeah, you just have to win or SOMEHOW get an early access steam key for the game, it's not that hard
but how can you get a steam keY?
join the discord server and you'll find out on announcements and contest announcement, reply to me if you don't have discord and I'll tell you how to get steam key, because discord server is SO much better then itch.io backpack hero chat/comments
I dont have discord
okay, so basically, there are contests everyone now and then, like every week or so, which the top 3 or the top results/players get free early access steam keys.
I'll notify you when the next event is on, and what it is :)

i had all these luck rings but only got 1 legendary
i had 6 energy per turn but rude roosters rage got out of hand and killed me
are there any tips someone can give me for an archer build
dont use the 2 wide bow
