i think that the hedge health is fine, then again i did have pretty large damage, but its really the prices and bullets. the HP ramp on enemies is also i think at a good level for the first loop
i found out how to get to loop 3, just started loop 2, u need to get an OP springleaf build and then just not charge ur bots, collecting cursed items still gives u some power spikes, but no shoot, no absurd bullet hell that is endless mode when u use springleaf
i got bomber and swain, bomber isn't that great B/C he can kill himself with bombs, but swain, with his unique HP mechanics and boomerang has insane potential, i just need to be lucky enough to unleash that potential
By using your ability you can get a few seconds of invincibility, time it well and it can prevent taking damage or even allow you to tank through tough bosses
i think every charachter has one boss they decimate, cholla destroys concheror, swain and springleaf trash scolipendro, camila beats wollum toad easily with item duplication, and alocasia can hit katydid from outside her attack range
potential unleashed, made it to concheror, but the big boi crab, no matter how much i tried, cannot die to the rangs
