So much fun! I played an old version and there were lots of ways to just cheese the game; this time I had to think even about when I should attack.
This is my final backpack to defeat King:
For the first many round use the whetstone to buff the assassin's dagger (which has an attack of 53, 2 energies) and use the manas to get +4 blocking from the ring until we have enough blocking. See that my mana doesn't recharge, so this is tricky.
use the extra weapons to kill any minions.
once the assasin's dagger has been buffed to over 100 and we start running low on mana, start attacking with it, initially 1 per turn and then twice per turn.
Once we can kill him without dying to spikes, attack with what is necessary.

The wizard hat gives 5 mana per turn, and I think +5 mana at end of battle. The ring adds 2 attack to all weapons around it.
So I can finish almost every battle in 1 turn, by doing around 140 damage with the sword + 90 damage using the axes. On the few harder battles like the king, I can just use accumulated mana to do like 500 damage in one turn. (I didn't continue onto endless mode)
I could try to optimize more , but I didn't use anything besides the ring, and finishing every battle in one turn. (so shield, armor, etc is just for decoration)
it was a fun game, but I wish I hadn't found a way to just one shot every battle and then one shot everything for 5 floors in a row
The wizard hat should be nerfed to give less mana per turn. I'd say 3 would be better than 5, in my opinion.
